Abstract: Disclosed are a gimbal and a control method and apparatus for a photographing apparatus. The photographing apparatus is mounted on a gimbal. When a communication link between the photographing apparatus and the gimbal is in an active state, the photographing apparatus is controlled by the gimbal. The method includes: detecting a first indication signal; and switching the communication link between the gimbal and the photographing apparatus from an active state to an inactive state, so that the photographing apparatus can be controlled autonomously. When the first indication signal is detected, the communication link between the gimbal and the photographing apparatus is switched from the active state to the inactive state, so that the photographing apparatus can restore to an autonomous control mode without physical plugging or unplugging or manual disabling of a wireless connection function in settings, helping a user to operate various functions.

Abstract: A method of controlling a gimbal may comprise obtaining a capturing position of a target object in a captured image, the capturing position being determined by means of an image capturer, the image capturer being a camera having a manual lens or an automatic lens, and the image capturer being communicatively connected to the gimbal; determining, based on the capturing position, control parameters for a following operation on the target object; and controlling the gimbal according to the control parameters to achieve the following operation of the target object.
