Abstract
A holder for a ball-shaped camera case for holding the camera case containing a TV camera to a fixed mounting structure such as a wall, ceiling and the like includes a ring-shaped holder having an outer thread and an inner curved rim with a curvature radius of the camera case. The holder further includes an elongated cover having a flanged rim at one end and a portion of hemispherical shape at another end. An elongated cutout wider than a pane of a lens of the camera is made in the elongated cover for providing an optical path for the lens and gripping the camera case inside that portion of hemispherical shape. A locking nut is tightened onto the outer thread of the elongated cylindrical cover. The locking nut has an inner shoulder for locking the cover to the ring-shaped holder. The cylindrical cover can be rotated for positioning the cutout around the axis of the hemispherical portion within the length of the cutout and the optical path is not obstructed.
