Abstract:
In order to provide a pan or tilt head and the like capable of reducing rattling or vibration when a rotation is suddenly changed while reducing the unevenness in rotational speed for smooth rotational drive, there is provided a pan or tilt head including a drive unit which rotates a camera unit in a predetermined direction, first and second gears which rotate around a predetermined rotation axis in the predetermined direction and are coaxial with the predetermined rotation axis, a third gear which meshes with the first and second gears and transmits a driving force from the drive unit, and a biasing unit which biases the second gear in the rotation axis direction, the first gear, the second gear, and the third gear includes helical gears, and the second gear is disposed to be movable in the rotation axis direction with respect to the first gear.
