Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a second mount configured to bayonet-couple with a first mount. The second mount has multiple contact points disposed in a circumferential direction that are to be electrically connected to multiple contact faces on the first mount when coupled. The number of the contact points is an even number of four or larger. When viewing the imaging apparatus in a normal position from the second mount side, a line extending from a center axis of the second mount in the gravitational direction and an opposite direction is a first mount center line, and a line orthogonal thereto is a second mount center line. The contact pins include a first contact pin that overlaps the first mount center line, and second and third contact pins at both ends in the circumferential direction of the second mount, with generally the same distance to the second mount center line.
