The center of gravity adjusting device is configured to slide the yaw-axis horizontal bar relative to the yaw-axis vertical bar to adjust a center of gravity of the gimbal structure. The center of gravity adjusting device includes a quick release mechanism including a quick release buckle arranged on one side of the yaw-axis vertical bar, a slider arranged between the yaw-axis vertical bar and the yaw-axis horizontal bar, and a screw connecting the slider with the quick release buckle.

Abstract: System and method can support photography. A controller can configure a carrier to move an imaging device along a moving path. Furthermore, the controller can apply a time-dependent configuration on the imaging device, and use the imaging device for capturing a set of image frames along the moving path based on the one or more time-dependent parameters.

Abstract: A gimbal for controlling an optical device includes a rocker for receiving an action instruction and generating a control instruction. The rocker comprises a keypad for switching between two or more operating modes of the gimbal. The operating modes of the gimbal comprise (1) a follow mode in which a shooting direction of the optical device follows a moving direction of the gimbal and (2) a locked mode in which the shooting direction of the optical device is locked in a specified direction regardless of movement of the gimbal. The gimbal further includes a controlling assembly configured to (1) receive the control instruction from the rocker, and (2) generate, based on the control instruction, a performing instruction for controlling the optical device.

Abstract: A gimbal comprises a first support frame, a second support frame, a third support frame, and a support assembly.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for controlling a gimbal used to carry a load. The method comprises: detecting a motion state of the gimbal or the load; determining whether a motion of the gimbal or the load is a user-intended motion according to the motion state; controlling the gimbal to move the load in an opposite direction to a moving direction of the motion if the motion is not a user-intended motion, thereby maintaining the load in an original posture; and controlling the load by the gimbal to move along a moving direction of the user-intended motion if the motion is a user-intended motion. The present invention also discloses a system for controlling a gimbal corresponding to the method for controlling a gimbal.

Abstract: A gimbal mechanism includes a first actuator providing rotation about a first actuator axis, a second actuator providing rotation about a second actuator axis different from the first actuator axis, a first coupler operatively coupling the first actuator and the payload and configured to affect rotation of the payload about the first actuator axis, and a second coupler operatively coupling the second actuator and the payload and configured to affect rotation of the payload about the second actuator axis.
