A system for holding an image display apparatus (60) for displaying an image captured by means of an image capturing apparatus (20) comprises a movable holding apparatus (70) for an alterable hold of the image display apparatus (60), a controllable drive device (72) for moving the holding apparatus (70), comprising a control signal input (74) for receiving a control signal, and a controller (40) comprising a signal input (42) for receiving a signal that represents an orientation or a change in the orientation of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20) in space or that facilitates a determination of the orientation or the change in the orientation of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20), and comprising a control signal output (47), couplable to the control signal input (74) of the controllable drive device (72), for providing a control signal for controlling the controllable drive device (72). The controller (40) is embodied and provided to control the controllable drive device (72) in such a way that, within a predetermined range of possible orientations of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20) in space, the orientation of the image display apparatus (60) in space is a predetermined function of the orientation of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20) in space.
