A hand held support for hand held cameras includes a first frame having a hand grip and a pivot mount spaced from the hand grip; a second frame pivotally mounted to the first frame at the pivot mount, and a camera mount on the second frame disposed below the pivot mount and adjustable to position the center of gravity of the camera relative to the pivot so that the camera remains in the desired level orientation upon pivoting of the support. An additional feature included adjustable weights on the frame and alternatively on the camera to adjust the center of gravity of the camera relative to the pivot axis of the inner frame.
