Abstract
An anthropomorphic shoulder mount for supporting a camera or similar device. Three modes of shoulder pad motion are provided to permit good conformance to the operator's shoulder contour regardless of anthropomorphic variations among various operators. An articulated saddle adjustably hinges forward and rearward from a fixed center section to conform to the operator's upper back and chest. The camera support adjustably rotates about a longitudinal axis to accommodate the slope of either of the operator's shoulders. Further, the camera support adjustably translates along the longitudinal axis to permit optimization of the center of gravity on the operator's shoulder.
