A camera assembly includes a first image capture device operative to capture images in a first direction. First image capture device has a first coupling configured to receive a second image capture device coupling. First image capture device includes a housing having a first mechanical coupling. A second image capture device is removably coupleable to first image capture device and captures images in a second direction. Second image capture device includes a second coupling. First and second couplings configured to couple second image capture device to first image capture device. Second image capture device further includes a housing having a second mechanical coupling. First and second mechanical couplings are configured to removably couple housing portion of second image capture device directly to housing portion of first image capture device to couple housing portions of first and second image capture devices to one another. Images captured are transferrable.
A camera assembly, comprising:
A first image capture device for use in a camera assembly comprising, a first image capture device operative to capture images in a first direction, the first image capture device comprising a first coupling configured to receive a complementary coupling of a second image capture device operative to capture images in a second, different direction and to removably couple said first image capture device to a second image capture device, the first image capture device further comprising a housing, a portion of which comprises a first mechanical coupling the first coupling further configured to electro-mechanically couple the first image capture device to a second image capture device by complementary interengagement of said first coupling with a second coupling of a second image capture device, and
A second image capture device for use in a camera assembly and removably coupleable to a first image capture device for capturing images in a first direction comprising, a second image capture device removably coupleable to a first image capture device and operative to capture images in a second direction different to the first direction, the second image capture device comprising a second coupling, the second image capture device further comprising a housing, a portion of which comprises a second mechanical coupling, the second coupling further configured to electro-mechanically couple the second image capture device to the first image capture device by complementary interengagement of said second coupling with a first coupling of a first image capture device, and
