The invention concerns a device for adjusting angular play on a predetermined angular range of an optical element mobile in rotation relative to a frame. Said device comprises a contact piece ( ), integral with the optical element, and an elastic steady arm ( ). The steady arm has a first end ( ) fixed to the frame and a second end ( ) co-operating with the contact piece when the mobile element is oriented in the predetermined angular range, at least when the mobile element enters said angular range in the rotational direction (S ), such that the steady arm exerts on the mobile element a counter-torque. Said second end does not co-operate with the contact piece when the mobile element is oriented outside the angular range.
