An image capturing device comprising:
- a casing;
- a heat source provided inside the casing;
- a monitor;
- a hinge provided to the casing and rotatably supporting the monitor;
- and
- a heat dissipation unit that includes a plurality of fins provided on an outer surface of the casing and is thermally connected to the heat source,
- wherein the monitor is configured rotatable, by the hinge, between a first position at which the monitor covers the plurality of fins of the heat dissipation unit, the covered plurality of fins otherwise being exposed, and a second position at which the monitor is away from the plurality of fins.
A heat dissipation unit detachably attached to an image capturing device, wherein
- the image capturing device includes:
- a casing;
- a heat source provided inside the casing;
- a monitor;
- and
- a hinge provided to the casing and rotatably supporting the monitor,
- the casing includes a monitor seating surface allowing the monitor to be seated, and
- the heat dissipation unit is detachably attached to the monitor seating surface, is thermally connected to the heat source, and includes an inclined surface allowing the monitor to be seated.
