A support structure for supporting an image capture device generally
comprises a base, a first vertically oriented, elongated support member
supported by the base, a mechanism that provides tilting and panning of
the device relative to the first support member, and elevation of the
device along the first support member, and a second elongated support
member disposed to stabilize the mechanism. Preferred bases include bases
that are foldable and/or rotatable, and ones that have a leveling device
coupled to the base. Preferred support members can be rotatable relative
to the base.
