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!

Try B&H photo, This one seems to fit the request.

But I would get a mono Manfrotto with a ball head... ( I already have a
monopod with out a head)
