<p>A camera driving apparatus according to the present invention includes: a camera portion having an imaging plane; a movable unit incorporating the camera portion, including an attracting magnet, and having an outer shape formed as a convex partial spherical surface; a fixing unit which includes a magnetic body and a concave portion to which the movable unit is loosely fitted, and in which a magnetic attraction force of the attracting magnet with respect to the magnetic body causes the convex partial spherical surface of the movable unit and the concave portion to be held in point contact or linear contact with each other, thereby enabling the movable unit to freely rotate about a spherical center of the first convex partial spherical surface; a panning drive portion; a tilting drive portion; a rolling drive portion; and a detector for detecting a tilt angle of the camera portion in a panning direction with respect to the fixing unit, a tilt angle of the camera portion in a tilting direction with respect to the fixing unit, and a rotation angle of the camera unit to be rotated in a rolling direction with respect to the fixing unit.</p> |
