Abstract
A push/steering bar accessory for a camera pedestal has upper and lower elongate plates forming a straight bar. Sprockets within the bar are linked by a belt. The outer sprocket is joined to a tube for receiving the pushing/steering handle. The inner sprocket is attached to a kingpin on the pedestal. A positioning pin may be adjusted to change the angle of the bar relative to the pedestal. The pedestal accordingly may be pushed and steered from different positions on the side and behind the pedestal.
