Patent attributes
An optical unit with a shake correction function includes a turning support mechanism structured to turnably support a movable body having a lens around an optical axis, and a gimbal mechanism structured to turnably support the turning support mechanism. The gimbal mechanism includes a gimbal frame and a first connection mechanism which turnably connects a plate holder with the gimbal frame around a first axis, and the first connection mechanism includes a first support member which is protruded from the gimbal frame to a side of the plate holder on the first axis, and a first concave curved face which is provided in the plate holder and is turnably brought into contact with a tip end of the first support member. A reinforcement member is fixed to the gimbal frame so that a portion of the gimbal frame where the first axis is passed is reinforced.
