Camera stabilizer

摘要

A camera stabilizer having a camera mount for attaching and positioning a camera, a gimbal component disposed below the camera mount and positioned at or near the center of gravity and a balancing arm. A handle is offset from a line through the center of gravity of the stabilizer plus camera. Adjustable weights are provided in a balancing arm to vary the center of gravity location.

1. A camera stabilizer comprising:
a camera mount for attaching and positioning a camera; a gimbal component disposed below the camera mount and positioned at or near the center of gravity of the stabilizer plus camera; a balancing arm extending from above the gimbal component; a handle offset having a proximate end and a distal end, the handle offset extending from the gimbal component at the handle offset proximate end; a handle extending from the handle offset distal end such that the handle is offset from a line through the center of gravity of the stabilizer plus camera; and wherein when the distance between the handle and the gimbal provided by the offset is such that when the handle is gripped by a user's hand, the user's fingers of that hand are within reach of a control surface on the gimbal component allowing control of the camera stabilizer with the user's fingers.
