Provided is a biaxial tilting device, a camera device, and an electronic apparatus, which enable suppression of shaking of a camera unit. A biaxial tilting device includes: a frame body including a back plate opposed to a bottom surface of a member to be tilted across a space; a plurality of suspension springs made of a shape memory alloy, which are configured to connect the bottom surface and the back plate to each other; and a current supply control unit configured to supply currents to the plurality of suspension springs.

A payload stabilizer and methods for stabilizing a payload suitable for use with video camera payloads. The support and stabilizing apparatus has a gimbal having two or more mutually perpendicular axes about which motion is generated by at least two of a pan motor, a tilt motor and a roll motor wherein the pan motor is integral to the gimbal handle and surrounds the main post. The stabilizer has a feedback system providing supplemental torques to the payload through a gimbal.

A circuit board of a payload includes a substrate, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) supported on a peninsula-like portion of the substrate and configured to measure a state of the payload. Only one side of the peninsula-like portion is attached to other portion of the substrate.

A device for wall mounting a display including a mount assembly and a swivel mechanism assembly. The mount assembly includes a television mounting portion and an extending/contracting portion and the swivel mechanism assembly moveable between a first and a second configuration and including a biasing component. The extending/contracting portion includes a lower arm, an upper arm, a front bracket, a wall mounting bracket, one or more gas springs, and a linear actuator. The one or more gas springs and the linear actuator may lower and raise the television mounting portion. The biasing component is configured to bias the television mounting portion to swivel in a first or a second direction when the swivel mechanism assembly is in the first configuration when the display mounting portion is lowered. The mount assembly may include a set screw to set a swivel stop for the first and the second swivel directions.

Present invention provides a frame assembly for a stabilizer, wherein the stabilizer comprises a gimbal for fixing a photographing device and adjusting the posture of the photographing device, the frame assembly is used for supporting the gimbal, and comprises: a first frame part; a second frame part configured to be disposed at an angle with the first frame part; and a holding handle; wherein the frame assembly is configured to allow the stabilizer to be held via the holding handle in a manner roughly vertically aligned with the overall center of gravity of the stabilizer and a photographing device. Therefore, present invention provides the stabilizer and the frame assembly thereof, which is ergonomic, good in stability and changeable in operation postures. Furthermore, present invention also provides a stabilizer with the frame assembly.

Provided is an imaging support device including an acquisition portion that acquires reversal information indicating that a revolution direction of an imaging apparatus that is caused to revolve about one axis out of a first axis and a second axis intersecting with the first axis as a central axis by a revolution mechanism enabling the imaging apparatus to revolve about each of the first axis and the second axis as the central axis is reversed, and a control portion that, in a case where the reversal information is acquired by the acquisition portion, performs a control of operating an adjustment portion capable of adjusting a position of a captured image obtained by imaging performed by the imaging apparatus.

A driving apparatus includes a rotation driving unit configured to rotationally drive a movable portion of an image pickup apparatus, a state detecting unit configured to detect a state of the image pickup apparatus, and a controlling unit configured to determine whether or not to perform an initialization operation by the rotation driving unit. The controlling unit determines whether or not to perform the initialization operation based on at least one of a change in the state of the image pickup apparatus during a system off and a change in the state of the image pickup apparatus between at a time of a system shutdown and at a time of a system startup, each change being acquired from an output signal from the state detecting unit.

A spherical joint couples an accessory to a support. The spherical joint enables the accessory to be leveled about one or more axes and panned about an axis, such that the accessory may be leveled and panned with respect to a viewing sphere. The spherical joint comprises a collar, a cup, and a ball head, wherein the collar is configured to house the ball head and the ball head is configured to couple to one of an accessory or a support via a mount interface. The ball head further comprises a ball configured to enable rotation of the ball head relative to the collar with respect to one or more axes. The cup is configured to resist rotation of the ball head relative to the collar, such that the spherical joint may be fixed at a suitable orientation.
