Abstract
An image pickup device comprises a main image pickup body, and a holding part provided angularly rotatable on one side surface of the main image pickup body. The holding part is mounted to rotate angularly in a plane other than a plane which is parallel to a vertical plane, where this vertical plane includes a center of gravity of the image pickup device and an optical axis or a straight line parallel to the optical axis of the image pickup device. The holding part is separated by a predetermined distance from the one side surface of the main image pickup device at an accommodated position thereof where the holding part extends along the one side surface of the main image pickup body, and a free end of the holding part lies substantially within the above vertical plane at a fully rotated position thereof where the holding part is drawn out in front of the main image pickup body.
