by clamping on one or both shoulders of the user is achieved and one by the weight of the object being held conditional tilting due to the support of the holder on the chest or belly is prevented.

However, it has been found that the support of the Holding it on the chest or stomach is not advantageous because it is caused by breathing or heartbeat rhythm Movements of the chest and stomach are transferred to the holder or the holding object connected to the holder. In addition, there is insufficient lateral stability of the holder with one-sided shoulder support. Is disadvantageous In addition, the possible uses of such brackets are very high at a relatively high cost are small, as they can only be used as a body holder.

The "invention is based on the object by a Suitable support on the body of the person wearing the holder, the transmission of the heartbeat and breathing rhythm to switch off caused movements on the bracket, i.e. resting points on the body for the support of the V. - bracket to use. Besides, for it. To ensure that there is sufficient lateral stability through suitable measures the holder even when using heavier x holding objects is achieved. Perner is intended to increase and save time through appropriate design of the carrying and supporting devices Adaptability of the holder or the holding object to the stature of the user can be achieved. The invention also provides with or without assistance of inexpensive tools and without time-consuming Modifications to significantly expand the range of application of the bracket.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that at a guide and adjustment linkage carrying the optical device Means for carrying and supporting in the area of the chest and stomach body-adjustable and one Yierpunktstativ-Äuflage are attached forming and that

Furthermore, vacuum suction cups can be clamped for attachment to surfaces.

In order to ensure that such a holder can be carried without moving, there is a further embodiment of the Invention the means for carrying and supporting two resting freely on the user's shoulder and in the back η supported brackets and by supporting the end of the support bracket in the area of the pelvic bones.

The main advantages of the invention are that stable parallel guidance ensures great stability in the Seibensbabile the holding device offers even when using heavy holding objects and that also by the training and dimensioning of the carrying and support device, freedom of contact in the area of the chest and abdomen is guaranteed, whereby breathing and heartbeat rhythm movements are not transferred to the holding device or to the holding object. The consequence of this is that, for example, when using film cameras, a steady image is achieved or when using photo cameras Exposures with longer exposure times or working with long focal length lenses is possible. Further advantages result from the use of the holding device as a four-point tripod and as a flat tripod. This advantage has turned out to be very important, since the holding vox ^ direction opens up reception areas that otherwise this would only be possible by using three different devices, which also results in considerable costs. advantage results.

Particular essential advantages and features of the invention have been explained in the preceding sections. the the following description, which is illustrated by means of sketches shows further advantages and features of the invention.

is stored. A ^ shaped in the form of a U-bracket, the cross- A / j cut of the holding rod 13 correspondingly non-rotatably lined slider 14- is arranged displaceably on the holding rod. Between the flanks of the slider, which are open in the direction of the guide rod 1, one end of the Stüfczstrebe 49 is articulated in such a way that the slider 14 can be clamped via the hinge pin 15 and the nut 16 on every reachable point of the support rod.

The mutual end of the support strut is also attached to the cross connection 3 in an articulated manner. In the upper part of the holding rod 13 a parallel to the direction of its lower bearing axis 12 extending bore is attached, which receives a threaded bolt 17 secured against rotation. The end of the threaded bolt protruding beyond the holding rod forms the bearing axis for a flank of the universal joint piece 19 'which is pressed against the wall of the holding rod via the locking nut 20. The flank 21 of the universal joint piece, which runs at right angles to the flank 18, is also mounted in an articulated manner with the support bracket 22 via the threaded bolt 23 and can be clamped by means of a locking nut 24. The holding object can be screwed onto the surface of the support bracket provided with the elongated hole 25 via the holding screw 26. The elongated hole allows the holding object to be shifted to the side in accordance with the lateral center deviation of the eye or the view of the holding object. For clarification, the individual parts 1Ö to 26 are shown exploded in the sketch. In the apex of the connecting arc of the two guide legs 2 and 2 ¹ is a pipe section 2? placed, which receives the rod of the semicircular curved, perpendicular to it extending support bracket 29 adjustable in height and can be fixed by means of a locking screw 30.
