1. A visualization system comprising:
a control device defining an upper surface and a lower surface;
a display visible through the upper surface of the control device;
a handle coupled to the lower surface and extending away from the lower surface;
a knob coupled to the control device, the knob configured to rotate about a rotational axis;
an imaging assembly mechanically coupled to the knob and communicatively coupled to the control device, the imaging assembly configured to rotate around the rotational axis based on rotation of the knob, the control device configured to display an image on the display, the image captured by the imaging assembly;
a rotation sensor in operational relationship to the knob and communicatively coupled to the control device, the rotation sensor configured to sense rotation of the knob and the imaging assembly;
wherein the control device is configured to rotate the image on the display responsive to rotation of the knob such that the image remains in a consistent orientation relative to the display despite rotation of the image assembly.
