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.
