A simple method of holding a compact digital camera to help improve video production. By mounting the camera close to the centre of mass of the unit the camera puts little strain on your wrists and allows you to keep the camera level. With gloves on this reduces the risk of dropping the camera and with the addition of the bicycle headlamp provides enough local light for interviews and party shots etc. The whole rig costs £2 or under 4$ with components readily available at most £ or $ stores. Adaptable to most sizes of compact digital cameras.
