Abstract: A pan tilt drive device includes a board, a drive worm that is rotatably supported by the board, a terminal worm wheel that is rotatably disposed relative to the board, a holder plate that is parallel to the board, a shaft that is rotatably supported while being parallel to the holder plate, an intermediate worm wheel that is fixed to one end of the shaft, and that meshes with the drive worm, an intermediate worm that is fixed to the other end of the shaft, and that meshes with the terminal worm wheel, a pivot mechanism, and a biasing member that biases the holder plate toward the drive worm and the terminal worm wheel.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a pan housing that is supported so as to be pan-rotatable about a pan-axis, a supporting arm of which a base end is supported by one end of the pan housing so as to be rotatable about a first tilt-axis which is spaced away from and perpendicular to the pan-axis, and a tilt housing which accommodates a camera, and of which one end side opposing the supporting arm is supported by a tip of the supporting arm so as to be rotatable about a second tilt-axis which extends in the same direction as the first tilt-axis extends.
