Vibration type actuator, imaging apparatus, and electronic equipment

A vibration type actuator comprising:

• a vibrator including an electro-mechanical energy conversion element and an elastic member;
• a holding member configured to hold the vibrator;
• a guide member configured to guide the vibrator and the holding member in a first direction;
• a contact member in contact with the vibrator;
• and
• a pressure member configured to pressurize the vibrator and the contact member in a second direction intersecting the first direction,
• wherein the vibrator and the contact member are configured to generate power activating in the first direction by a vibration of the vibrator,
• the holding member and the guide member are engaged with each other to be rotatable around, as an axis, a third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction, and
• the holding member is provided with a recess or a through-hole on an opposite side opposite a side where the vibrator is held, and an output portion configured to transmit the power is formed on at least a part of a wall surface on which the recess or the through-hole is formed.
