Abstract
A television camera support for mounting and providing optical alignment between the imaging axes of a lens and an image pickup apparatus. The support is of single-piece construction and generally 'L' shaped and includes a vertical portion adapted to receive the camera lens and a horizontal portion adapted to receive the image pickup apparatus. In a preferred embodiment, only the vertical portion of the support is attached to the body of the television camera and the structural rigidity of the camera body near the point of attachment is less than the rigidity of the support, thereby minimizing misalignment of the imaging axes if excessive forces are accidentally applied to the lens.
