Sensing apparatus comprising a sensing unit supported by a supporting unit and electronic equipment comprising said sensing apparatus

A sensing apparatus comprises a sensing unit (27,50,57) and a supporting unit (26,43,61). The sensing unit detects a direction and an amount of physical quantity applied thereto. The sensing unit has a detection reference axis (G) along which the direction and the amount of the physical quantity are detected. The supporting unit stationarily supports the sensing unit. The sensing unit is inclined relative to the supporting unit by a predetermined angle so that a difference in angle between the detection reference axis and the direction of the physical quantity actually applied to the sensing unit when detecting the direction and the amount of the physical quantity is minimized.
