Claim:
A dock comprising: a connector configured to establish an electrical connection with an image capture device; two movable pins located in the vicinity of the connector and supported in an impelled manner, such that the two movable pins are configured to move vertically; and a surface configured to have the image capture device secured thereto the connector and the movable pins, wherein the two movable pins project and are impelled upwardly in a stable state, and the two movable pins are configured to fit into hole sections formed in a bottom of the image capture device during docking of the image capture device, and the two movable pins are configured to move downwardly along with the image capture device to thus act as guides for regulating a relative position between the image capture device and the connector; wherein at least one of the two movable pins is configured to move both vertically and laterally, which lateral movement holds the image capture device in the dock by pressing against a side surface of a receiving receptacle of the image capture device independent of a latch and which lateral movement is caused pursuant to depression of the image capture device into the dock.
