A modular imaging system includes a camera module having a camera and an electrical interface for providing a video signal representing an image picked up by the camera, a wireless transmitter module having an electrical interface for receiving the video signal from the camera module and generating a high frequency signal, a wireless receiver module for receiving the high frequency signal from the wireless transmitter module and producing a baseband signal, and a display module for receiving the baseband signal and displaying the baseband signal on a display. A secondary interlock mechanism includes a U-shaped collar having eccentrically shaped holes and a depression for receiving a spring, and a module having alignment pin receptacles for receiving alignment pins having radial channels, and having the U-shaped collar inserted into the module and the spring so that the eccentrically shaped holes engage with the radial channels on the alignment pins to restrain the alignment pins from moving due to the force exerted on the U-shaped collar from the spring.
