Abstract
In an image stabilizing apparatus employing a system in which the rotational position of gimbal suspension is controlled on the basis of an output value from an angular velocity sensor attached thereto, an actuator for pivotally moving an inner gimbal suspension member is incorporated in the gimbal suspension means, thereby making the apparatus to fully exhibit its functions and allowing the case of a binocular to which the apparatus is attached to have a compact configuration. A rotating motor (105) for pivotally moving the inner gimbal suspension member (107) comprises a magnet (156) and a coil (154) which are disposed close and opposite to each other. The magnet (156) is firmly supported by the inner gimbal suspension member (107), while the coil (154) is firmly supported by the outer gimbal suspension member (7).
