A gimbal includes a first shaft assembly, a second shaft assembly, and a third shaft assembly. The first shaft assembly includes a first shaft arm and a first motor arranged at a first end of the first shaft arm. The second shaft assembly includes a second shaft arm and a second motor arranged at a first end of the second shaft arm and fixedly connected to a second end of the first shaft arm that is distal from the first motor. The third shaft assembly includes a third shaft arm configured to carry a load and a third motor arranged at an end of the third shaft arm and fixedly connected to a second end of the second shaft arm that is distal from the second motor.

An image pickup apparatus includes an apparatus body having a first fixing part, a handle member having first and second fastening parts and a first holding member having a third fastening part fastened with the second fastening part and a second fixing part fixed to the first fixing part. Each of the three fastening parts includes: a radial gear and a through hole provided parallel to a fastening direction. The radial gear includes depressions and projections formed in uniform phase in normal line directions of a center axis of the through hole. The handle member is fixed to the first holding member by communicating the through hole of the second fastening part with the through hole of the third fastening part and by a bolt being fastened to a nut through the communicated through holes in a state where the radial gears of the three fastening parts are engaged.

A photographing device support having an auxiliary handle includes: a telescopic support body, a connecting apparatus, and a clamping apparatus; and an auxiliary handle for an operator to grip, one end of the auxiliary handle is provided with a hinge joint, and the auxiliary handle is up-and-down rotatably connected to the connecting apparatus by the hinge joint, the hinge joint is provided with a first convex platform, and the connecting apparatus is provided with an elastic locking piece, the elastic locking piece cooperates with the first convex platform, so that when the auxiliary handle rotates downwards to fold relative to the telescopic support body, the elastic locking piece is elastically deformed at first to enable the first convex platform to rotate upwards and cross over the elastic locking piece, and then is reset to prevent the first convex platform from rotating back, so as to lock the auxiliary handle.

Camera stabilization systems are provided, and more particularly, an improved lightweight hand-held or vehicle-mounted camera stabilization system is provided, for use in photographic or video-related applications. A stabilization of the alignment is critical in particular on moving camera supports, such as vehicles, airborne objects, and camera cranes, in order to achieve the best possible results in film or video recordings.

An image-capturing device includes: an imager extending along a first axis, the imager configured to capture an image; and a grip coupled to the imager, extending along a second axis tilted to the first axis, and having an elongated shape to have a periphery thereof gripped with hand of an operator of the image-capturing device.

Modular lens adapter system are provided for use with a hand held computer device having a camera for mobile ophthalmoscopy. The modular lens adapter systems include an anterior adapter and a posterior adapter configured to removably engage with a hand held computer device. The anterior adapter can include a variable intensity light source, a clamp, and a movable macro lens. The posterior adapter can include a hand held computer device mount, a lens mount, and a telescoping arm with a first end and a second end with the first end configured to removably engage with the mount and the second end configured to contact the lens mount. Methods are also provided for using the systems to obtain an image of an anterior portion of the patient's eye and a posterior portion of the patient's eye.

An imaging device includes: a heat source; a heat dissipation mechanism for dissipating heat of the heat source; and a main body to which the heat source and the heat dissipation mechanism are attached, wherein the heat dissipation mechanism is disposed on an outer peripheral portion of the main body.

A support apparatus for an electronic device includes a support portion that movably supports the electronic device between a first position where an object stored in the electronic device is incapable of being taken out, and a second position where the stored object is capable of being taken out. The electronic device is attachable to the support portion, and the electronic device is moved between the first position and the second position by movement of the support portion. In addition, the support apparatus o includes a base portion to which the support portion is movably attached, and the movement of the support portion causes the electronic device to move between the first position and the second position.

An imaging apparatus includes an image capturing unit, a shutter button with which to give an image capturing instruction, a specific operation member, a reception unit configured to receive a line-of-sight input that is an input of a position based on a line of sight of a user, and a control unit configured to perform control so that, in a case where a predetermined operation on the specific operation member is not performed while a specific operation on the shutter button is being performed, a specified position is not moved based on the line-of-sight input in a case where a line-of-sight position of the line-of-sight input moves, and in a case where the predetermined operation on the specific operation member is performed while the specific operation on the shutter button is being performed, the specified position is moved based on the line-of-sight position of the line-of-sight input.
