An imaging apparatus of an embodiment of the present invention includes a detecting unit 4d for detecting a state in a detection area T within an image displayed in a display panel 8a, an identifying unit 4b for identifying a subject from the image, an acquiring unit 4c for acquiring information relating to a predetermined subject in the case that the identifying unit 4b identifies the predetermined subject outside the detection area T, and a control unit (the detecting unit 4d) for controlling detection of the state in the detection area T based on the information relating to the predetermined subject acquired by the acquiring unit 4c.

A method of controlling a gimbal mounted at an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes: obtaining a current attitude of the UAV and a current attitude of the gimbal at a current moment; predicting a flight speed of the UAV; and controlling the gimbal to rotate to maintain an angle of the gimbal relative to the UAV within a particular angle range according to the current attitude of the UAV, the current attitude of the gimbal, and the predicted flight speed of the UAV, such that a ratio of a propeller assembly of the UAV appearing in an image photographed by a capturing device mounted at the gimbal is lower than a pre-configured ratio threshold.

Disclosed is an intelligent photography system including an intelligent tripod head, a search camera, a shooting camera, a communication component and a control component. The search camera is mounted on the intelligent tripod head, and configured to search for a target to be shot. The shooting camera is mounted on the intelligent tripod head, and configured to take a target image. The communication component is fixed on the intelligent tripod head. The control component includes a circuit board component electrically connected with the intelligent tripod head, the search camera, the shooting camera and the communication component respectively, so that remote control of the shooting camera for shooting is realized, photographers are freed, and better effects are achieved.

A technique which improves the workability of wrapping an FPC around a shaft, and prevents breakage of the FPC from being caused during wrapping operation. A shaft is supported by an apparatus main unit and is disposed in a center of rotation of a structure. The FPC is wrapped around and held by the shaft using a joining member. The FPC has a wrapping start portion from which wrapping is started, and a wrapping body portion including a wiring portion. The width of the wrapping body portion in a thrust direction of the shaft is larger than the width of the wrapping start portion. An expansion portion is arranged between the wrapping start portion and the wrapping body portion. The width of the expansion portion in the thrust direction continuously expands from the width of the wrapping start portion to that of the wrapping body portion.

An electronic apparatus includes a support bracket, a display assembly rotatably connected to the support bracket, a camera assembly separately arranged at an outside of the display assembly and located at the plane formed by the rotation of the display assembly, and a follower connected to the camera assembly and the support bracket. During rotation of the display assembly, the follower is configured to follow the rotation of the display assembly to synchronously drive the camera assembly to translate relative to the display assembly along an outer edge of the display assembly in a designated linear direction, so that a distance between the camera assembly and the outer edge of the display assembly is kept at a designated distance.

An image pickup apparatus includes a body including an attachment member for attachment, a ring-shaped rotating member rotatable relative to the body, and an imaging unit configured to capture an image. An imaging angle of view as an imaging parameter is changed by rotating the rotating member.

An image pickup apparatus is provided that is capable of avoiding an image pickup device and control system devices thereof from being affected by heat generated by a wireless transmitter-receiver unit, whereby the control system devices can stably be operated, while avoiding the quality of photographed image from being deteriorated. In the image pickup apparatus, a power unit has an upper limit of guaranteed temperature higher than that of the image pickup device and higher than those of an image processing unit and a control unit which are the control system devices, and is mounted on a mounting surface of a board together with the image processing unit and the control unit. A wireless transmitter-receiver unit is disposed parallel to and facing the mounting surface of the board so as to cover the power unit mounted on the board.

A hinge structure, comprising a plurality of bearings each of which has a cylindrical body formed by using a molding die, and a shaft member rotatably supported by the plurality of bearings.

Disclosed is a magnification device for use by blind and/or low vision individuals. The device includes an X-Y table upon which an item to be magnified can be placed. A stationary camera arm and a pivotal monitor arm are oriented over the X-Y table. The monitor arm includes a video monitor pivotally mounted at its distal end. The camera arm also includes two laterally disposed lighting arms. A series of controls are provided along a lower edge of the monitor via a mounting bracket.

A monitoring device is disclosed, including: a base; a first rotary mechanism which is connected to the base and rotatable relative to the base; a supporting bracket fixed to the first rotary mechanism; a second rotary mechanism which is connected to the supporting bracket and rotatable relative to the supporting bracket; a lens assembly fixed to the second rotary mechanism; and a housing fixed to the supporting bracket and having an opening to expose the lens assembly; the first rotary mechanism, the supporting bracket, and the second rotary mechanism are located in the housing, a rotation axis of the first rotary mechanism is perpendicular to the base and a rotation axis of the second rotary mechanism. The monitoring device can implement omnidirectional imaging while maintaining an overall appearance of the entire device.
