Abstract
A shoulder-mounted, camera support device having adjustable support bar or bar segments and hand grip assemblies which allow the camera operator to easily adjust positions of the bars and hand grip assemblies. In its preferred configuration, grip position may be adjusted by the operator in a variety of manners without having to release the grip handle by rotating the grip handle thereby unlocking the grip assembly, moving the grip assembly and handle to a desired position and orientation, and then rotating the grip handle thereby locking the grip assembly and handle in place at the desired position and orientation.
