Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provides a camera, having a first camera sub-assembly, a hub coupled to the first camera sub-assembly, a second camera sub-assembly coupled to the hub and rotatable relative thereto and a third camera sub-assembly coupled to the hub and rotatable relative thereto. The third camera sub-assembly can be in electrical communication with the first camera sub-assembly and/or the second camera sub-assembly via the hub. The hub can include a slot to guide electrical cable(s). Net torque acting on the camera can be zero such that one of the first rotational coupling or the second rotational coupling when rotated to a new position via an applied torque remains in the new position when the applied torque is released.
