A generally C-shaped frame portion having upper and lower generally
horizontal arms and a generally vertically positioned connecting member
partially surrounds a camera receiving space. A plate pivotally mounted
to the lower arm provides a mounting point for a camera and a plurality
of gyroscopic stabilizers. One or more elastic cords rotatably attached
to the upper arm permit the frame to be suspend from a suspension point
in or on a moving and/or vibrating platform for swinging movement in any
direction and rotation relative to the platform and provide vibration
isolation from the platform. A collapsible stand having a heavy base, an
upright and a cantilever arm may be used to provide the suspension point
if one is not conveniently available in or on the platform.
