    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided relating to improved mounting platforms for supporting a payload on a movable object. In one aspect, an apparatus for supporting a payload comprises: a first support member coupled to the payload and configured to rotate the payload; a second support member coupled to the first support member and configured to rotate the first support member relative to the second support member; and a flexible member electrically coupling the first and second support members, wherein a length of the flexible member winds around a portion of the first support member or second support member, such that the length winds up around the portion when the first support member is rotated in a first direction and unwinds from the portion when the first support member is rotated in a second direction.

    Abstract: An aircraft control system and control method are disclosed. The system comprises a remote control apparatus with a first control rod and a flight controller associated with an aircraft. The first control rod is configured to move in a first movement direction to control a motion of the aircraft in a first motion direction when an external force is applied on the first control rod and after a withdrawal of the external force, the first control rod returns to a preset position. The remote control apparatus operates to generate one or more control signals corresponding to the withdrawal of the external force. The flight controller controls the aircraft to maintain a flight state based on said control signals and one or more state signals, which are generated based on a measurement of the flight state by a flight controller associated with the aircraft state measurement sensors carried by the aircraft.

    Abstract: An aerial vehicle includes an aerial vehicle body, and first and second rotor assemblies. The first rotor assembly includes a first hub coupled to first blades, and a first drive shaft coupled to the first hub via fastening features. The first drive shaft is configured to rotate the first hub in a first direction such that the first blades rotate in a first rotation plane. The second rotor assembly includes a second hub coupled to second blades, and a second drive shaft coupled to the second hub via fastening features. The second drive shaft is configured to rotate the second hub in a second direction opposite to the first direction, such that the second blades rotate in a second rotation plane. The first and second rotation planes are at opposite sides of the aerial vehicle body.
