Claim:
A mobile communication station including a camera and having a body having a longest dimension along a first axis, the body comprising two portions which are mechanically coupled to each other by a linkage that permits rotation of one of the portions relative to the other about an axis substantially parallel to the said first axis and prevents rotation of each portion relative to the other about other axes, one of said portions having a grip for being gripped by a user during use of the communication station, the grip having a first compact configuration and a second configuration in which the grip is expanded relative to the first configuration to improve the grip of the user on the communication station when the grip is in the second expanded configuration; and wherein the grip has a core portion and at least one outer wall movable away from the core portion, and wherein said grip has a longest dimension along a second axis and wherein when moving from the first compact configuration to the second expanded configuration the at least one outer wall is moved linearly away from the core portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the second axis.
