A transfer apparatus comprising: a carrying path for an electronic component, the carrying path being formed between a first storage unit and a second storage unit; a holder unit holding and releasing the electronic component via a tip; and N number (where N ≥ 2) of rotary pickups (2a, 2b) including a plurality of the holder units around a rotation axis of an axial frame, and intermittently rotating around the rotation axis by a predetermined angle so as to always direct the tip of the holder outwardly, wherein: at least two of the rotary pickups (2a, 2b) are a first carrying structure and a second carrying structure that are parts of the carrying path; the rotary pickup adjacent to the first carrying structure is the second carrying structure installed so as to not overlap with each other, to have the respective rotation axes orthogonal to each other, the second carrying structure being another part of the carrying path; the holder unit of the first carrying structure and the holder unit of the second carrying structure are each a sucking nozzle having an axis along a radial direction of the rotary pickup; and the respective tips of the holder units of the first carrying structure and the second carrying structure have a common stop position facing with each other, and the electronic component is transferred at only a transfer point that is the stop position characterized in that the holder unit is installed on an axial frame via a sliding unit so as to be capable of moving forward in a centrifugal direction going apart from a center of the rotary pickup, and of retracting in a centripetal direction directed toward the center; and the first carrying structure is adjacent to the second carrying structure and installed so as to not overlap with each other, to have the respective rotation axes orthogonal to each other; and at least at the transfer point, a control is configured to decelerate the moving-forward speed of the one holder unit as coming close to the electronic component. a carrying path for an electronic component, the carrying path being formed between a first storage unit and a second storage unit;
