Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC F  H  G | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An orbital camera system comprising:
a) a down rod,
b) a hub coupled to the down rod;
c) a motor configured to rotate said hub about a rotation axis;
d) a first extension coupled to and extending from the hub in a first direction and comprising:
i) a proximal segment of the first extension;
ii) a distal segment of the first extension;
iii) a hinge of the first extension configured between the proximal segment of the first extension and distal segment of the first extension to enable the distal segment of the first extension to rotate with respect to the proximal segment of the first extension;

e) a second extension coupled to and extending from the hub in a second direction opposite said first direction and comprising:
i) a proximal segment of the second extension;
ii) a distal segment of the second extension;
iii) a hinge of the second extension configured between the proximal segment of the second extension and distal segment of the second extension to enable the distal segment of the second extension to rotate with respect to the proximal segment of the second extension;

f) an illumination light coupled to the hub, wherein the illumination light is below the hub;
g) a camera coupled to the first extension; and
h) a counterweight coupled to the second extension, wherein counterweight is configured along the second extension to balance the first and second extensions about the hub.
