The image pickup apparatus includes an apparatus body, a handle that includes a front leg part and a rear leg part, which extend upward from the apparatus body, and a gripping part which connects between the front leg part and the rear leg part substantially in parallel with an optical axis of an image pickup optical system, a front part that is integrally formed with the handle on a front side of the handle, and a display unit that is supported in a manner rotatable with respect to the front part in a substantially horizontal direction via a first rotational shaft portion. A connector to which a first external device is connected is arranged on a side surface of the front leg part.
