Abstract
To image not only the user in front of a camera but also documents situated below, a rail member is vertically attached to a sidewall of a display case, a slide rod fixing clamp is slidably mounted on the rail member, a slide rod is transversely displaceably mounted on the slide rod fixing clamp, an orthogonal rod is secured to slide rod, and a camera mounting clamp is mounted on the orthogonal rod in such a manner that it is rotatable around the orthogonal rod. Thus, a camera can be positioned lower than in the instance where it is disposed on top of a display. Also, the camera can be directed downward by virtue of the camera mounting clamp.
Claims7
A camera support comprising:
- a rail member mountable on a vertical surface;
- a clamp slidably mounted on said rail member;
- a first rod slidably received in said clamp, wherein said first rod is movable along a line corresponding to a central longitudinal axis of said first rod, and can be fixed in a stationary position by said clamp;
- a second rod connected to said first rod so as to extend orthogonally from said first rod;
- and
- a camera mounting clamp which includes a tilt means and is slidably and rotatably attached to said second rod, wherein said camera mounting clamp can be fixed in a stationary location by clamping said second rod, and said tilt means allows full rotations of a camera about an axis perpendicular to said second rod and limited vertical swings of the camera about an axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of said second rod.
