A pitch-yaw actuation system (230) includes a pitch frame (232), a yaw frame (270), a pitch actuator (250), a yaw actuator (290), and a universal joint assembly (300). The pitch frame (232) is pivotably coupled to a device frame via a pitch hinge (238). The yaw frame (270) is pivotably coupled to the pitch frame (232) via a yaw hinge (280). The pitch actuator (250) pivots the pitch frame (232) about a pitch axis (240). The yaw actuator (290) pivots the yaw frame (270) about a yaw axis (282) oriented orthogonal to the pitch axis (240). The universal joint assembly (300) couples the yaw actuator (290) to the yaw frame (270), and includes a universal joint (302) slidably coupled to a linear guide mechanism (316). The guide mechanism axis (318) is oriented at an angle that allows the universal joint (302) to move in a manner accommodating misalignment of the yaw actuator (290) with the yaw frame (270) during pivoting of at least one of the pitch frame (230) and the yaw frame (270).
