An angle adjuster attached to a proximate end of each of the housing and the lighting fixture converts a linear movement to the adjuster into an angular adjustment of the lighting fixture with regard to an optical axis of a camera contained with the housing. In another aspect of the invention, the system of aligning a camera view and light fixture may be attached to a magnification lens in order to align the magnified view with the camera view and the illumination of the lighting fixture. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus comprising: a housing containing a camera therein, said camera having a known focal length, said housing comprising a first cavity and a second cavity at a proximate end of said housing, wherein a passage is formed between said first cavity and said second cavity; a light fixture pivotedly attached to said housing at a substantially distal end of each of the housing and the light fixture; and an adjustment mechanism comprising: a vertical follower, pivotedly attached to a proximate end of said light fixture, said vertical follower including a threaded passage therethrough, said threaded passage having a known pitch; a retaining nut, contained in said first cavity, said retaining nut including an internal thread of said known pitch, a compression spring having a first end in contact with a closed end of said second cavity and a bottom surface of said vertical follower; and a lead screw, extending through said vertical follower, said compression spring and said passage to said retaining nut, said lead screw having a thread matching said internal thread. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising: a vertical follower cover attached to said vertical follower, said cover having a passage allowing said lead screw to pass therethrough. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said known pitch is determined based on a desired angular change of said light fixture with respect to said housing. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a range of angular orientation of the light fixture with regard to said housing is based on a length of said lead screw. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a second attachment mechanism located at said proximate end of said housing. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5 wherein said second attachment mechanism is pivotedly attached to said housing. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said second attachment mechanism is fixedly attached to said housing. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said second attachment mechanism comprises: a screw mechanism. ### Claim 9 An eyeglass comprising: a bridge connecting a first lens and a second lens, and a visual recording device attached to said bridge, said visual recording device comprising: a housing containing a camera therein, said camera having a known focal length, said housing comprising a first cavity and a second cavity at a proximate end of said housing, and a passage between said first cavity and said second cavity; a light fixture pivotedly attached to said housing at a substantially distal end of each of the housing and the light fixture; an adjustment mechanism comprising: a vertical follower, pivotedly attached to a proximate end of said light fixture, said vertical follower including a threaded passage therethrough, said threaded passage having a known pitch; a retaining nut, contained in said first cavity, said retaining nut including an internal thread of said known pitch, a compression spring having a first end in contact with a closed end of said second cavity and a bottom surface of said vertical follower; and a lead screw, extending through said vertical follower, said compression spring and said passage to said retaining nut, said lead screw having a thread matching said internal thread; and a second attachment mechanism attached to a proximate end of said housing connecting said bridge and said visual recording device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said second attachment mechanism is pivotedly attached to said housing. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said second attachment mechanism is fixedly attached to said housing. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said second attachment mechanism comprises: a screw mechanism. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said second attachment mechanism comprises of one: a T mount and a slot mount. ### Claim 14 A headband assembly comprising: a headband, and a visual recording device attached to said bridge, said visual recording device comprising: a housing containing a camera therein, said camera having a known focal length, said housing comprising a first cavity and a second cavity at a proximate end of said housing, and a passage between said first cavity and said second cavity; a light fixture pivotedly attached to said housing at a substantially distal end of each of the housing and the light fixture; an adjustment mechanism comprising: a vertical follower, pivotedly attached to a proximate end of said light fixture, said vertical follower including a threaded passage therethrough, said threaded passage having a known pitch; a retaining nut, contained in said first cavity, said retaining nut including an internal thread of said known pitch, a compression spring having a first end in contact with a closed end of said second cavity and a bottom surface of said vertical follower; and a lead screw, extending through said vertical follower, said compression spring and said passage to said retaining nut, said lead screw having a thread matching said internal thread; and a second attachment mechanism attached to a proximate end of said housing connecting said bridge and said visual recording device. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The headband assembly of claim 14 wherein said second attachment mechanism is pivotedly attached to said housing. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The headband assembly of claim 14, wherein said second attachment mechanism is fixedly attached to said housing. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The headband assembly of claim 14. wherein said second attachment mechanism comprises: a screw mechanism. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The headband assembly of claim 14, wherein said second attachment mechanism comprises of one: a T mount and a slot mount.
