Optical unit with correction function

An optical unit with a shake correction function, comprising:

• a movable body including a camera module;
• a gimbal mechanism configured to support the movable body such that the movable body is swingable around a first axis intersecting an optical axis of the camera module and the movable body is swingable around a second axis intersecting the optical axis and the first axis;
• and
• a fixed body configured to support the movable body via the gimbal mechanism,
• wherein the gimbal mechanism includes a gimbal frame and a connection mechanism configured to connect the gimbal frame and the fixed body such that the gimbal frame and the fixed body are rotatable around the second axis,
• wherein the connection mechanism includes a gimbal frame receiving member including a sphere and a metal-made thrust receiving member to which the sphere is fixed, and a support portion having a concave curved surface making contact with the sphere,
• wherein the fixed body includes a holding portion configured to hold the gimbal frame receiving member at a position where the second axis passes through a center of the sphere,
• wherein when a direction extending along the optical axis is defined as an optical axis direction, one side of the optical axis direction is defined as a first direction, the other side of the optical axis direction is defined as a second direction, a direction extending along the second axis is defined as a second axial direction, and a direction extending around the optical axis is defined as a circumferential direction, the thrust receiving member includes a base plate portion including a sphere fixing portion to which the sphere is fixed and facing the support portion via the sphere in the second axial direction, a bent plate portion bent in the second axial direction from a first direction side end of the base plate portion and located on a first direction side of the support portion, and a pair of locking plate portions extending from circumferential opposite ends of the bent plate portion,
• wherein the holding portion is a cutout recess portion that includes a back wall surface configured to make contact with the base plate portion from a side opposite to the support portion in the second axial direction, a pair of side wall surfaces located at circumferential opposite sides of the back wall surface and configured to face each other in the circumferential direction, and a bottom wall surface extending in the second axial direction on a first direction side of the back wall surface and making contact with the thrust receiving member from a first direction side, the holding portion being opened toward a second direction and one side of the second axial direction, and
• wherein the side wall surfaces each include locked surface parts formed at positions spaced apart from the bottom wall surface toward the second direction and extending in the circumferential direction to face the locking plate portions from the second direction side respectively.
