A payload stabilizer and methods for stabilizing a payload suitable for use with video camera payloads. The stabilizer has a feedback system providing supplemental torques to the payload through a gimbal.

An arm-based sit-stand workstation is disclosed in which a height-position of the attached workstation portion is adjustable via adjustment of the position of the articulating arm. The workstation comprises a release mechanism that allows the workstation to be locked in a non-adjustable height configuration and also be placed in an unlocked configuration in which a height position of the workstation portion can be adjusted without constant user actuation of the release mechanism during adjustment.

The present disclosure provides a handheld gimbal, including a handle and a photographing apparatus (mounted on the handle. The handle is provided with a first electrical contact portion. An end portion of the handle is rotatably provided with an adapter ring. The adapter ring is provided with a first connecting member. The photographing apparatus is provided with a second connecting member engaged with the first connecting member and a second electrical contact portion electrically connected to the first electrical contact portion. The adapter ring rotates in a first direction, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member are locked to each other. The adapter ring rotates in a direction opposite to the first direction, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member are unlocked from each other. This ensures a mechanical connection between the handle and the photographing apparatus, and facilitates the detachment.

The present disclosure provides a gimbal control method applied to a gimbal system. The method includes obtaining a current attitude of a rotating shaft frame included in the gimbal; obtaining a current operating mode of the gimbal; comparing the current attitude with a threshold attitude and obtaining a comparison result of the current attitude and the threshold attitude; and controlling the gimbal to rotate based on the comparison result. The current operating mode of the gimbal includes a stabilization mode and a follow mode; and controlling the gimbal to rotate based on the comparison result includes one or more of controlling the gimbal to rotate based on the comparison result to maintain the stabilization mode, controlling the gimbal to rotate based on the comparison result to maintain the follow mode, and controlling the gimbal to rotate to switch between the stabilization mode and the follow mode.

A device for supporting a smartphone having a camera or supporting an action camera has a holder configured for supporting a smartphone having a camera or supporting an action camera, a handle configured to be held by a user, and components for receiving audio signals from an audio signal source and reproducing the received audio signals in the vicinity of the handle.

A supporting device including an installation assembly; a first supporting arm assembly having a longitudinal direction, a first end, and a second end; a switching bracket; a bearing unit pivotally connected to the switching bracket; and at least one gas spring is provided. The first end is pivotally connected to the installation assembly. The switching bracket is pivotally connected to the second end of the first supporting arm assembly. The gas spring is disposed in the first supporting arm assembly and is respectively connected to the switching bracket and the installation assembly to provide a supporting force. Each gas spring has a hollow tube, a piston rod, and a compression spring. The piston rod is slidably disposed through the hollow tube and has a head. The head may be varied between maximum and minimum protruding positions relative to the hollow tube. The compression spring is sleeved on the piston rod.

A mechanical arm assembly which has two arm members connected by an elbow. The movable connectors at the end of each arm are connected by belts or the like to a locking mechanism at the elbow such that engaging the locking mechanism simultaneously locks both movable connectors as well as the elbow.

A camera mount that can provide high stability, ease of operation, and flexible configurations for different applications and installation scenarios. The camera mount has an improved attachment mechanism that provides multiple locking positions and strengthened positioning pins. The camera mount has a plurality of anchoring devices capable of securing the camera mount on different curved surfaces.

A device for supporting a smartphone having a camera or supporting an action camera has a holder configured for supporting a smartphone having a camera or supporting an action camera, a handle configured to be held by a user, and components for receiving audio signals from an audio signal source and reproducing the received audio signals in the vicinity of the handle.

A support leveling device includes leveling feet mounted on a bottom plate of an appliance. Each leveling foot comprises a sheath, having a hollow cavity with an opening, and mounted on the plate; a regulating foot, the plate having a through hole corresponding to the opening of the hollow cavity, one end of the regulating foot passing through the through hole and extending into the hollow cavity of the sheath for axial movement relative thereto, and another end of the regulating foot located at an outer side of the bottom plate and supported on a support surface; and a hydraulic medium sealed in a cavity defined by the regulating foot and the sheath. When the leveling foot is placed on an uneven support surface, the regulating feet are stressed to axially move along the sheath, and the hydraulic medium is stressed to act on the regulating foot for support leveling.
