Abstract

A handle with arm support used for a photography equipment, comprises a handle grip and a connecting portion for connecting with the photography equipment, wherein the handle further comprises an arm support connected with the handle grip adapted for supporting a user's arm whilst in use, and the arm support is a structural component which maintains a definite shape under compression and is capable of withstanding a load. The arm support supporting the lower portion of a user's arm, as such, the force needed from a wrist is reduced significantly, especially on the wrist so that the user will not feel tired or encounter wrist fatigue, and a handle operation is more flexible.
