  • Publication number: 20230349507
    Abstract: A gimbal, a balancing method, a control method, a balancing motor and a gimbal assembly are provided. The balancing method includes: controlling a driving motor to rotate, and obtain a first electric signal parameter of the driving motor, where the gimbal includes a rotating assembly and a balancing motor, and the rotating assembly includes a gimbal component, a transmission mechanism and a driving motor. The driving motor is configured to drive the gimbal component to rotate so as to adjust the attitude of the gimbal. The balancing motor is configured to drive at least part of the gimbal component to move via the transmission mechanism so as to adjust the center of gravity of the gimbal. The operation of the balancing motor may be controlled based on the first electrical signal parameter to make the gimbal in a balanced state in an adjustment direction of the balancing motor.

  • Patent number: 11131910
    Abstract: An adjusting device includes an adjuster and a supporting mechanism. The adjuster includes a transmission member that is configured to drive a portion of the adjuster to have a movement. The supporting mechanism includes a mounting assembly, a supporting assembly, and a connection assembly. The mounting assembly is configured to be coupled to a gimbal. The supporting assembly is configured to be coupled to the adjuster and includes a supporting member that is provided as a rod. The connection assembly is configured to adjustably connect the mounting assembly and the supporting assembly. A position of the adjuster relative to the gimbal is adjustable at least by adjusting a linear position of the adjuster relative to the rod and a rotation position of the connection assembly relative to the mounting assembly.
