Summary

Using this bracket, Apollo 11 crewmembers could mount a camera inside the spacecraft to allow for hands-free operation of the camera. Settings on the bottom side of the camera bracket allowed them to turn the camera to preset postitions for various activities like rendezvous.

NASA transferred this bracket to the Museum in 1970.
