Abstract
A TV camera unit is supported by a camera support member having an arm-receiving hole into which an arm is inserted. When a camera support shaft protruded upward from a camera base of the camera support member is fitted into a downward attitude holding aperture that is formed in the front face of the TV camera unit to be parallel to the optical axis of a lens of the TV camera unit, the TV camera unit is supported by the camera base and set at a downward shooting position where the lens faces downward. When the camera support shaft is fitted into a horizontal attitude holding aperture that is formed in the bottom face of the TV camera unit to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, the TV camera unit is set at a horizontal shooting position where the lens faces in the horizontal direction.
