A manually operated camera float device for achieving movement-free video camera shots. This device attaches to a camera boom and is comprised of a first frame member and a second frame member, the first frame member having a platform for coupling a camera upon. The second frame member rotatably couples to the camera boom and the first frame member rotates in a swinging arc in relation to the second frame member. The first frame member rotates as a result of a system of pulleys communicating by a drive belt, in a first embodiment. In a second embodiment, a system of tie rods allows the first frame member to rotate. In a third embodiment a system of gears allow rotation of the first frame member. In operation, the camera float device operates in conjunction with a camera boom for allowing the camera to be floated in a three-dimensional environment through simple manual manipulation. Additionally, an entire filming system is disclosed which is comprised of the camera float device, the camera boom, a camera dolly, and pedestal.
