  • Publication number: 20160156816
    Abstract: An adapter and casing apparatus (10) for an imaging device (26) such as portable sports cameras. The apparatus includes a mirror (22) which reflects a 360 degree image surrounding the apparatus (10) toward an existing lens (20) of the imaging device (26) such that a panoramic view can be recorded by the imaging device (26). A casing (12) encapsulates the imaging device (26) and has an attachment means which allows a locating member ((16) to be attached and which retains the mirror (22) at a desired distance from a lens of the imaging device ((26). This secures the mirror (22) relative to the imaging device (26) in order to focus the image reflected from the mirror (22) into the imaging device (26) without any modification to the imaging device (26) being required.
