An apparatus and method to rigidly connect the imaging elements such as camera(s) and the monitor on a single arm, or a single arm element, which maintains the proper relationship between the camera and the monitor while simultaneously allowing the monitor height to be at the ideal viewing height for the dentist. While the imaging elements of the invention are rigidly connected on a single arm or arm element, there is provision for changing the tilt, on a horizontal axis, of the monitor, as well as its height, to accommodate differences in height among dentists. This rigid connection of the invention assures that the image of the operative site will always be presented in the most understandable frame of reference for the dentist.
