Abstract

A camera housing can be configured as both a protective housing and a stand for a camera. The camera housing includes a housing body, an arm component, and a lid component. The housing body partially encloses the camera and exposes a lens of the camera. A first end of the arm component is coupled to the housing body via a first hinge, and a second end is coupled to the lid component via a second hinge. The arm component includes over-molded components configured to limit rotation of the arm component relative to the housing body and the lid component. In a folded configuration, the lid component reciprocally mates to the housing body to cover the camera lens. In an unfolded configuration, the arm component and the lid component are rotated away from the housing body, acting as a stand for the housing body.
