A base for supporting a camera or other electronic device includes a body member connected by a hinge mechanism to a support member and configured to rotate about a camera tilt axis. The support member is attachable to the base of a video camera. Two front legs are fixed in position relative to the body member. A rear leg is attached by a pivot connection to the body member. The base is configured such that the rear leg may be moved by pivoting the rear leg about the rear leg pivot axis to engage a back surface of a laptop screen or flat monitor or onto a flat horizontal surface. The camera tilt axis and the rear leg pivot axis are substantially parallel.
