Abstract

An attitude adjustment device for use with a detector device which is used to detect rotational motion about an axis of a unit in which the attitude adjustment device is disposed. The attitude adjustment device includes, but is not limited to, a first adjustment mechanism to adjust the angle of the detector device such that the above-mentioned axis is parallel to a standard axis and is parallel to a first plane. Also, the attitude adjustment device includes a second adjustment mechanism to adjust the angle of the detector device such that the above-mentioned axis is parallel to a second plane which is orthogonal to the first plane and is parallel to the standard axis. Also, the present invention provides a method for adjusting the angular relationship between an angular velocity meter of a photographic device and the photographic device. The photographic device includes a photographic optical system, an angular velocity meter, and an adjustment member to adjust the angular relationship between a baseplate of the adjustment member and a housing of the photographic device. The method includes the step of causing a rolling motion to be realized by the photographic device. The rolling …
