Original Abstract Submitted
A device includes multiple payloads that are adjusted by actuators. The payloads may be optical elements such as lens assemblies. The actuators may be disposed within edge gaps of the payloads in order to reduce the footprint of the structure. One actuator may be configured to adjust more than one payload to reduce the number of actuators.
