Abstract

A holding apparatus (50) for a vehicle has a first element (51) attachable to the vehicle (1), a second element (52) movably connected with the first element (51) via a bearing mechanism, an image capture unit (10, 10A, 10B) attached to the second element (52) and configured to capture a capture area around the vehicle (1), and a signal unit (20) configured to detect the position of the first element (51) relative to the second element (52). The signal unit (20) has a signal device (22) adapted to output a signal (S) and a signal transmitter (21) configured to operate the signal device (22) dependent on a position of the first element (51) to the second element (52) such that it outputs a signal (S).
