A leveling platform may be adjustably mounted to the base and can pivot around a pivoting axis intersecting the base. A control arm connects the leveling platform and the base, and can effect the pivoting of the leveling platform by adjusting the length of the control arm. An alternative system may include a supporting scaffold that is adjustably connected to a movable foundation by at least three control arms. The at least three control arms can change length such that an angle of the supporting scaffold from the movable foundation changes.

A gimbal frame comprises at least one guide rod; and a center of gravity adjusting and locking mechanism mounted at the at least one guide rod. The center of gravity adjusting and locking mechanism comprises: a sleeve coupled to the guide rod and capable of moving on the at least one guide rod so as to adjust a center of gravity of the gimbal frame, a moving member disposed at one side of the at least one guide rod and disposed inside the sleeve, and an operating member coupled to the sleeve and in transmission connection with the moving member. When the operating member is operated, the moving member is driven to move towards the at least one guide rod so as to tightly abut against the at least one guide rod.

A method for controlling a carrier includes obtaining a motion characteristic of the carrier. The motion characteristic is indicative of a type of a payload being supported by the carrier. The carrier is configured to support a plurality of different types of payload including the type of the payload being supported by the carrier. The method further includes selecting a set of control parameter(s) from a plurality of different sets of control parameter(s) based on the motion characteristic. Each individual set of control parameter(s) of the plurality of different sets of control parameter(s) is suitable for controlling the carrier to support one of the plurality of different types of payload. The method also includes controlling movement of the carrier according to the selected set of control parameter(s).

A hand-held gimbal includes a handle portion and a gimbal photographing device mounted on the handle portion. A display screen is disposed at the handle portion and configured to display at least one of content captured by the gimbal photographing device or a photographing parameter of the gimbal photographing device.

An embodiment of a tri-axial rotation apparatus comprises: a drive part; a first housing which rotates about a first axis and with respect to the drive unit and accommodates a first motor; a second housing which rotates about a second axis, perpendicular to the first axis, and with respect to the first housing, and accommodates a second motor, a third housing which rotates about a third axis, perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis, and with respect to the second housing, accommodates a third motor, and has a camera mounted thereon; a first connection part disposed between the first motor and. the first housing along the outer peripheral surface of the first motor; a second connection part disposed between the second motor and the second housing along the outer peripheral surface of the second motor; and a third connection part disposed between the third motor and the third housing along the outer peripheral surface of the third motor, wherein. the first connection part, the second connection part, and the third connection part are formed of flexible material and may be electrically connected. to the drive part.

A control apparatus for controlling driving of a focus lens of a lens apparatus includes a memory storing a program and a processor. The processor is configured to execute the program to determine, according to a height of the lens apparatus from a reference position, a focus position of the focus lens indicating a position of the focus lens; and control the driving of the focus lens according to the focus position.

A gimbal photographing device includes a machine body, a foldable mechanism connected with the machine body, and a gimbal camera connected with the foldable mechanism. The gimbal camera is configured to cling to the machine body through the foldable mechanism, and is configured to be positioned in an extended state or a folded state. The machine body includes a support wall configured to support the foldable mechanism and the gimbal camera. The foldable mechanism includes a base including a rotation member and a position limiting member connected with the rotation member. The position limiting member is connected with the gimbal camera. The position limiting member includes a first end and a second end that are opposingly disposed. The rotation member is rotatably connected with the support wall around a rotation axis direction to cause the gimbal camera to rotate relative to the machine body.

A robotic mount is configured to move an entertainment element such as a video display, a video projector, a video projector screen or a camera. The robotic mount is moveable in multiple degrees of freedom, whereby the associated entertainment element is moveable in three-dimensional space. In one embodiment, a system of entertainment elements are made to move and operate in synchronicity with each other, such as to move a single camera via multiple robotic mounts to one or more positions or along one or more paths.

A gimbal sleeve for connecting to a camera gimbal may float between a floor surface and a ceiling surface of an aerial vehicle chassis such that the gimbal sleeve has freedom of motion in yaw, pitch, and roll directions relative to the vehicle chassis. The gimbal sleeve may comprise a pair of connection points to the lower dampers on a floor surface of the vehicle chassis. The gimbal sleeve may furthermore comprise a ball joint coupled to a back surface of the vehicle chassis. The connection points include spring forces that enable the gimbal sleeve to return to an equilibrium position in response to external vibrations and reduce the magnitude of vibrations transferred from the aerial vehicle to the gimbal and camera systems.
