1. An imaging apparatus mounted on a moving object and configured to capture an image while moving along a moving direction of the moving object, the imaging apparatus comprising:
a sensor unit including a sensor substrate on which an image sensor is mounted;
a main unit including a main substrate on which an electronic component configured to process an output signal from the sensor substrate is mounted;
a heat sink cover on which a component of the sensor unit is disposed;
a pair of arm portions on the heat sink cover; and
a heat dissipation fin configured to dissipate heat generated in at least one of the sensor unit and the main unit,
wherein the heat dissipation fin is provided between the pair of arm portions and in a direction substantially parallel to the moving direction, and 
wherein the sensor substrate and the main substrate are connected to each other by at least a connection wire passing through inside the arm portions.
