A support for a camcorder includes a platform connectable to a camcorder and a gripping handle attached via a multi-directional joint to the platform. The handle includes a head portion close to the multidirectional joint and is segmented along its major axis so as to define at least three pivotably connected leg portions, so as to enable the opening of the leg portions to form a mini-tripod for stationary support of the platform. The support further includes a stabilizer arm having a first end associated to the platform, an opposite second end to which a balancing, stabilizing weight is attached. The arm is provided with a joint enabling the pivoting of the second end of the arm between a first free-floating stabilizing position of the platform and a second position wherein the second end of the arm is suitable to rest on a shoulder-chest area of a camcorder operator.
