The present invention provides an optical disc camcorder unit having a
base plate assembly loaded with an optical disc and a camcorder main body
accommodating the base plate assembly, the base plate assembly is
swingably set to the camcorder main body via a rotating shaft so that the
base plate assembly rotates in an axial direction about the rotating
shaft. In this manner the optical disc camcorder provides improved
recording and reproduction characteristic and improved tracking
performance by way of preventing rolling generated by in the camcorder
unit from being transmitted to internal base plate assembly and also
preventing skew and oscillation of spindle motor shaft from being
generated.
