1. An actuator for rotating an optical path folding element (OPFE), comprising:
a first sub-assembly;
a second sub-assembly; and
a stationary sub-assembly,
wherein the first sub-assembly is configured to rotate the OPFE relative to the stationary sub-assembly in an extended rotation range around a yaw rotation axis,
wherein the second sub-assembly is configured to rotate the OPFE relative to the first sub-assembly in an extended rotation range around a pitch rotation axis that is substantially perpendicular to the yaw rotation axis,
wherein a respective rotation of the OPFE is used for performing optical image stabilization (OIS),
and wherein the actuator is included in a folded camera.
