To enable, in an imaging apparatus including a monitor, the monitor to assume more different postures with respect to a housing.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus 10 includes a housing 12, a hinge mechanism 26 which includes a fixed part which is fixed to the housing 12 and a movable part which is supported by the fixed part rotatably around a first rotation center line extending in a first direction, a monitor base 24 which is supported by the movable part of the hinge mechanism 26 rotatably around a second rotation center line extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, a link member 28 which is supported by the monitor base 24 rotatably around a third rotation center line C3, and a monitor 22 which is supported by the link member 28 rotatably around a fourth rotation center line C4.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】モニタを備えた撮像装置において、ハウジングに対してモニタがより多くの異なる姿勢をとることができるようにする。【解決手段】撮像装置１０は、ハウジング１２と、モニタベース２４と、ハウジング１２に固定される固定部、および、第１の方向に延在する第１の回動中心線を中心にして回動可能に固定部に支持された可動部を含むヒンジ機構２６と、ヒンジ機構２６の可動部に、第１の方向と直交する第２の方向に延在する第２の回動中心線を中心にして回動可能に支持されたモニタベース２４と、モニタベース２４に第３の回動中心線Ｃ３を中心にして回動可能に支持されたリンク部材２８と、リンク部材２８に第４の回動中心線Ｃ４を中心にして回動可能に支持されたモニタ２２とを有する。【選択図】図１２
