An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a support body;
- a camera;
- and
- a shell pivotably attached to the support body around a first axis, the shell comprising a recess in a middle portion thereof, a through hole defined in a bottom of the recess to expose the lens of the camera and a spherical accommodating chamber extending from an edge of the through hole of the shell to accommodate the camera, two tubular protrusions extending out from the camera along a second axis, the accommodating chamber of the shell defining two aligning holes to pivotably receive the tubular protrusions, the camera pivotably received in the shell around the second axis, the first axis being perpendicular to the second axis, the camera comprising a lens exposable from the shell.
