Abstract:
1. A binocular vibration-correcting device comprising: left and right vibration-correcting optical systems that correct left and right image vibration by being driven in the yaw direction and the pitch direction in accordance with vibration; left and right optical system holding members that hold said left and right vibration-correcting optical systems, respectively; an intermediate supporting member that is a single member and supported by a main body member of said binoculars vibration-correcting device so as to be able to rotate in the pitch direction, the intermediate supporting member supporting said left and right optical system holding members so as to be able to rotate in the yaw directions; a connecting member that connects said left and right optical system holding members so as to be able to rotate in the yaw direction at a position away from the yaw direction rotational axes of said left and right optical system holding members in the direction of the optical axes; a yaw direction drive unit that drives said connecting member in the yaw direction; and a pitch direction drive unit that drives said intermediate supporting member in the pitch direction, wherein the yaw direction rotational axes of said left and right optical system holding members are distanced from said vibration-correcting optical systems in the direction of the optical axes.
