    摘要: A method of controlling an imaging device having a function extension button includes obtaining attitude information of the imaging device or detecting triggering of one or more other buttons of the imaging device in response to the function extension button being triggered, and controlling the imaging device to perform an extended function. If the obtained attitude information is preset attitude information, the extended function is based upon a combination of the function extension button and the obtained attitude information. If the one or more other buttons is detected to be triggered, the extended function is based upon a combination of the function extension button and the one or more other buttons.

    摘要: A gimbal photographing device includes a body having a supporting wall, a folding mechanism connected to the body, and a gimbal camera connected to the folding mechanism. The gimbal camera attaches to the body through the folding mechanism and has an expanded state and a folded state. The supporting wall is configured to support the folding mechanism and the gimbal camera. The folding mechanism includes a supporting base and a position limiting member. The supporting base is connected to the gimbal camera and rotatably connected to the supporting wall around a rotation axis, to drive the gimbal camera to rotate relative to the body, and the rotation axis is parallel to the supporting wall. The position limiting member is connected to the supporting wall along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis.

    摘要: A gimbal structure includes a camera assembly. The gimbal structure also includes a first motor configured to drive the camera assembly to rotate around a first rotation axis. The first motor includes a first stator. The first stator includes a first signal control cable. The gimbal structure also includes a second motor configured to drive the camera assembly to rotate around a second rotation axis perpendicular to the first rotation axis. The second motor includes a second stator. The second stator includes a second signal control cable. The gimbal structure further includes a motor housing configured for mounting the first stator and the second stator. The first signal control cable and the second signal control cable are combined to form a first cable structure.

    摘要: A gimbal includes a support, a carrying member carrying an electrical component, a carrying member driver coupled to the support and the carrying member, and a transmission member in the support. The carrying member driver is configured to drive the carrying member to rotate relative to the support. The carrying member driver includes a stator coupled to the support, and a rotor sleeving outside the stator and being coupled to the carrying member. The transmission member extends from within the support, winds around a circumference of the rotor, and extends to the carrying member to be electrically connected with the electrical component.

    摘要: A locking device and a gimbal thereof are provided. The locking device includes a mounting plate; a supporting plate slidably on the mounting plate; and a pressing device including a sliding block. The mounting plate includes a first surface, two first bosses, two first sliding grooves at inner sidewalls of the two first bosses, and a receiving groove. The supporting plate contains two second sliding grooves at positions corresponding to the first sliding grooves of the mounting plate. The sliding block is slidably disposed within the receiving groove and includes: a first side in proximity to a groove bottom, and a clamp fixing portion extending from the first side to lock the supporting plate with the mounting plate. When the sliding block is held within the second sliding groove, the supporting plate is tightened with the mounting plate by the clamp fixing portion.

    摘要: A gimbal for controlling an optical device includes a rocker and a controlling assembly. The rocker is configured to receive an action instruction and generate a control instruction based on the action instruction. The action instruction includes a long press when a rocker handle of the rocker is deviated from a middle position, and the control instruction includes a back-to-middle control instruction instructing the rocker handle to return to the middle position. The controlling assembly is configured to receive the control instruction from the rocker, and generate a performing instruction based on the control instruction for controlling the optical device.

    摘要: A stop device includes a motor rotor assembly including a rotating shaft, a first shift lever fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and including a first shifting part configured to rotate around an axis of the rotating shaft to form a first motion trajectory, and a second shift lever rotatably connected to the first shift lever and including a second shifting part partially within the first motion trajectory. The first shifting part is configured to drive the second shifting part to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft to form a second motion trajectory. The stop device further includes a motor stator assembly sleeved on the rotating shaft and rotatably connected with the rotating shaft. The motor stator assembly includes a stopping boss located on a periphery of the first motion trajectory and partially within the second motion trajectory.

    摘要: A gimbal load mounting assembly includes a first seating body. The gimbal load mounting assembly also includes a second seating body configured to slidably connect with the first seating body. The gimbal load mounting assembly also includes an adjustment device. The first seating body is configured to be connected with a supporting frame of a gimbal and is slidable in a first direction. The second seating body is configured to mount a load, and is slidable along the first seating body in a second direction. The adjustment device is provided on one of the first seating body and the second seating body, and is configured to drive the other one of the first seating body and the second seating body to move to adjust relative positions between the first seating body and the second seating body.
