Abstract
A camera system is adaptable as for right-handed and left-handed users and is extendable and modifiable in a versatile fashion. The camera system includes a basic element connected to a lens, a recording housing, and a handle part. The basic element has a through-opening lying along the optical axis of the camera system, a first connecting point on a first side of the through-opening for receiving the lens, a second connecting point on a second side of the through-opening for mounting the recording housing, and a third connecting point whose central axis is arranged perpendicular to the optical axis for connecting the handle part. The basic element is rotatable about the first connecting point and is adapted to be locked into one of three positions, and the recording housing is rotatable about the second connecting point and is adapted to be locked into one of two positions.
