1. An accessory for an image capture device, the accessory comprising:
a body defining a longitudinal axis;
a first support located at an upper end of the body, the first support configured for connection to the image capture device and for rotation about a first axis extending in parallel relation to the longitudinal axis;
a second support pivotable in relation to the body about a second axis extending in transverse relation to the first axis such that the second support is reconfigurable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration; and
a third support located at a lower end of the body, the third support reconfigurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, the third support including:
a first leg pivotable in relation to the body about a third axis extending in transverse relation to the first axis and the second axis; and
a second leg pivotable in relation to the body about a fourth axis extending in transverse relation to the first axis and the second axis,
wherein the first leg and the second leg are positioned generally adjacent to the body when the third support is in the collapsed configuration to define a grip for the image capture device, and
wherein the first leg and the second leg are spaced from the body when the third support is in the expanded configuration such that a lower end of the body defines a third leg cooperating with the first leg and the second leg to provide a freestanding base for the image capture device.
