Mounting device and imaging unit
There are provided a mounting device and an imaging unit through which it is possible to easily perform various imaging techniques with an imaging device that cooperates with an information processing device according to cooperation between the devices. Provided is a mounting device that enables an imaging device configured to transmit an image to an external display device to be detachable from an external device, the mounting device including: a first mounting portion configured to be mounted on the imaging device; a second mounting portion configured to be mounted on the external device; and a rotation mechanism through which the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are rotatable.
1. A mounting device that enables an imaging device configured to transmit an image to an external display device to be detachable from an external device, the mounting device comprising:
a first mounting portion configured to be mounted on the imaging device;
a second mounting portion configured to be mounted on the external device; and
a rotation mechanism through which the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are rotatable; and
a mounting exclusion mechanism configured to disable mounting of the second mounting portion on another predetermined device,
wherein the rotation mechanism is rotatable using a connection direction of the imaging device as a rotation center, and a rotation torque of the first mounting portion is different from a rotation torque of the rotation mechanism using the connection direction of the imaging device as the rotation center.
2. The mounting device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the rotation mechanism is a first rotation mechanism that is provided in the first mounting portion.
3. The mounting device according to claim 1 ,
