Abstract: The imaging apparatus of the present invention includes a main body, first camera fixedly arranged on the main body, an opening-closing unit provided rotatably with respect to the main body via a first hinge unit, a second camera mounted on the opposite side of the opening-closing unit from the first hinge unit, and a second hinge unit for rotatably supporting the imaging direction of the second camera. A body surface of the second camera is uneven, and the rotation direction of the first hinge unit and the rotation direction of the second hinge unit are the same rotation direction at the time of starting shooting with the second camera.

Abstract: The imaging unit of the present disclosure is an imaging unit rotatable about a first axis. The imaging unit includes a lens holder and an operating member. The lens holder holds a lens on its surface, has a first gear on its rear face, and is rotatable about a second axis in forward and backward directions. The operating member has a second gear engaged with the first gear, is rotatable about a third axis in forward and backward directions, and faces the rear face of the lens holder. A plane with the first axis as a normal, a plane with the second axis as a normal, and a plane with the third axis as a normal are orthogonal to each other. The lens holder rotates by rotating the operating member.
