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: The present invention discloses a controlling device, a gimbal on which the controlling device is applied and a method for controlling a gimbal.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided relating to improved mounting platforms for supporting a payload on a movable object. In one aspect, an apparatus for supporting a payload comprises: a first support member coupled to the payload and configured to rotate the payload; a second support member coupled to the first support member and configured to rotate the first support member relative to the second support member; and a flexible member electrically coupling the first and second support members, wherein a length of the flexible member winds around a portion of the first support member or second support member, such that the length winds up around the portion when the first support member is rotated in a first direction and unwinds from the portion when the first support member is rotated in a second direction.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a lens bracket assembly for supporting an imaging device. The imaging device includes a body and a lens connected to the body. The lens bracket assembly includes a supporting plate and a bracket. The supporting plate is used for mounting the imaging device, and the supporting plate includes a first side. The bracket includes a supporting portion of which the shape matches the lens of the imaging device and a fixing portion connected with the supporting portion. The fixing portion is fixedly arranged at the first side. The supporting portion is used for supporting the lens. The present invention further relates to a gimbal that uses the lens bracket assembly.
