Abstract
This application is directed to packaging a camera product. A base is attached to a holding element that is configured to physically hold a camera and includes a holding element fastener structure. The holding element fastener structure is configured to mate with a base fastener structure associated with the base, providing both a first degree of freedom of motion and a second degree of freedom of motion for the holding element relative to the base. The holding element is rotated in a first direction via the first degree of freedom until the holding element reaches a first nominal position. The holding element is rotated in a second direction via the second degree of freedom until the holding element reaches a second nominal position. The holding element is configured to lie substantially in parallel with a planar surface of the base when it is rotated along the first and second directions.
