Shoulder Tripod??

Question

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!

[snip]Moving grandchildren are hard to follow when your eye is glued to aviewfinder.This camera has a nice flip-out LCD screen, which means the camera isabout a foot out in front of my face.  Think arm position and how thatcan ache after an hour in that position :-(                                        ...Jim Thompson-- | James E.Thompson, P.E.                           |    mens     || Analog Innovations, Inc.                         |     et      || Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems  |    manus    || Phoenix, Arizona  85048    Skype: Contacts Only  |             || Voice:(480)460-2350  Fax: Available upon request |  Brass Rat  || E-mail Icon at  |    1962     |              I love to cook with wine     Sometimes I even put it in the food
