  • an attachment surface to which the digital camera is to be attached being supported so as to become vertically movable;

    a first holding unit for fixedly holding the attachment surface in a first, upper position;

    a second holding unit for fixedly holding the attachment surface in a second, lower position; and

    a control unit for releasing the first holding unit to thus enable vertical movement of the attachment surface, which in a stable state is fixedly held in the first position by means of the first holding unit, when the digital camera is attached onto the attachment surface, and for actuating the second holding unit to thus fixedly hold the attachment surface in the second position when the attachment surface has lowered to thus establish an electrical connection with the digital camera via a connector.
