Shoulder Tripod??

Back when I was video-capturing my children I had a big-ass VHS camcorder that rested on my shoulder. Manageable easily for an hour without tiring.

Now I have a little Canon with swing out view screen.

Gets very tiring to hold at arm's length... especially during an

8-year-old granddaughter's birthday party ;-)

Is there such a thing as a "shoulder tripod" to assist with this?

Thanks!

Jim... Why are you holding at arms lengh? Would you not hold as any camera? Warren

Moving grandchildren are hard to follow when your eye is glued to a viewfinder.

This camera has a nice flip-out LCD screen, which means the camera is about a foot out in front of my face. Think arm position and how that can ache after an hour in that position :-(
