Abstract
Provided is an imaging device having a stand connector that can assume an open position for allowing connection with a stand or tripod and a closed position when not coupled with the stand. The stand connector of the imaging device includes a connector body including a hollow cavity and a female screw capable of coupling with a corresponding male screw of the stand, an insert received in the cavity of the connector body and moveable between an open position allowing coupling of the stand by screwing the screws of the connector body and the stand and a closed position substantially covering an open end of the cavity in the connector body when not coupling with the stand, and biasing means configured to bias the insert to the closed position.
