Abstract
An image pickup unit including a lens barrel having a plurality of first holding members holding optical components, respectively. The image pickup unit includes two vibration-type linear actuators each configured to drive different driving objects in an optical axis direction of the lens barrel. One of the two vibration-type linear actuators drives at least one of the first holding members in the optical axis direction of the lens barrel. The two vibration-type linear actuators are disposed on a first side surface parallel to an optical axis of the lens barrel.
