A video laryngoscope apparatus for inspection of an oral cavity region of a patient, the video laryngoscope apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus body comprising a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the apparatus body is elongate and configured to be hand-held by an operator of the video laryngoscope apparatus;
• a camera arm comprising a proximal end and a distal end with a camera, wherein the proximal end of the camera arm is connected to the distal end of the apparatus body utilizing a rotary position linkage member that is adjustable, and wherein the camera arm is configured to receive and releasably attach thereto a disposable laryngoscope blade;
• a light source coupled to the camera arm;
• a communication device connected via a linkage device to the proximal end of the apparatus body;
• and
• a power source housed by the apparatus body,
• wherein the rotary position linkage member comprises:
• a torsion spring connected with the camera arm and the apparatus body inside the rotary position linkage member, wherein the torsion spring is configured to employ a force on the camera arm in a direction towards the apparatus body into a folded position;
• and
• a compression spring disposed inside the torsion spring, wherein the compression spring is configured to be engaged with a lock-release button, wherein the compression spring is configured to releasably lock the camera arm from moving by keeping first and second toothed units in engagement, and wherein the first toothed unit is disposed on the lock-release button and the second toothed unit is disposed on the camera arm.
