An optical unit may include a movable body having a lens and an imaging element; a fixed body configured to support the movable body; a gimbal mechanism configured to oscillatably support the movable body; and a shake correction drive mechanism configured to cause the movable body to oscillate with respect to the fixed body around the two axial lines. The shake correction drive mechanism may include an oscillating magnet, and an oscillating coil to generate an electromagnetic force within a magnetic field of the oscillating magnet. The gimbal mechanism may include an annular movable frame surrounding a periphery of the movable body, and four oscillation support points supporting the movable frame with respect to the movable body and the fixed body on the two axial lines. The movable frame may be arranged outwardly in a radial direction perpendicular to the optical axis from the shake correction drive mechanism.
