Abstract
An apparatus for pivotally mounting a film magazine to a motion picture camera which enables the film magazine to be slidably pivoted from a position wherein the film magazine is mounted substantially on top of the camera to a position wherein the film magazine is mounted substantially on the rear of the camera. Light shield means are provided to close off the adjustment aperture in the motion picture camera housing which permits the slidable pivoting motion. Brake means are provided for securing the mounting bracket in the selected pivoted position. Extraneous light is prevented from entering the motion picture camera by light securing members mounted between the camera body and the flexible light shield members.
