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.
