Man creates a camera chest rest

Shared by tmmramalho on 2014-11-05 15:37

About the solution

When he fractured his right arm, he realized that handling a SLR camera with a plastered arm wouldn't be possible: the grip is on the right handside and so is the shutter release button. After six weeks, when the plaster came off, his hand and arm was now too weak to handle the camera.

This has inspired him to develop an idea that he had during his period of discomfort. The idea is simple: a device transfers the weight of the camera to your chest. This makes the handling of the camera very light and very stable. All you need is some PVC tubing and a special hinge.

This device can help people with a weak arm or hand, but it can also be helpful to people with Parkinson to stabilize the camera.
