An interface device connects a camcorder to a camera operating in the non-visible electromagnetic spectrum to form a portable unitary system. The interface device provides a mechanical connection between the camcorder and the camera. A video cable carries video image data from the camera to the camcorder. A control connection additionally may be provided between the camcorder and the camera through the interface device, to allow the camera to be controlled through controls on the camcorder itself. A power connection may be provided between the camcorder and the camera through the interface device, to allow the camera to draw power from the camcorder.
