    Abstract: A control device includes a touchscreen and one or more processors. The touchscreen is configured to display an image captured by an imaging device supported by a movable object or a carrier coupled to the movable object, and receive a user input indicative of selection of a position on the touchscreen to display a selected target of the image and selection of a zoom factor for zooming in or out of the selected target. The one or more processors are configured to generate control data based on information about the user input. The control data includes instructions for the imaging device, the carrier, or the movable object to automatically control an attitude of the imaging device for positioning the selected target at or near the selected position on the touchscreen and a zoom level of the imaging device according to the user selected zoom factor.

    Abstract: A positioning mechanism comprises a base comprising a landing area and a guide member. The landing area comprises a positioning portion. The guide member is movably arranged at the landing area and comprises a guide surface. The guide member is configured to be movable with respect to the base. A height of the guide member relative to the landing area is configured to be lower when the guide member is in a non-operating state than when the guide member is in an operating state. The guide surface is configured to adjoin the positioning portion when the guide member is in the operating state.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a central body and a plurality of arms extendable from the central body using one or more actuators. Each of the plurality of arms is configured to support one or more propulsion units. One arm of the plurality of arms is configured to connect to one of the one or more actuators via a linkage mechanism. The one of the one or more actuators is configured to actuate the linkage mechanism between (1) a first dead center position for securing the one arm when the one arm is extended away from the central body in a flight configuration and (2) a second dead center position for securing the one arm when the one arm is folded substantially parallel to the central body in a compact configuration.

    Abstract: A method includes showing a plurality of regions on a display each associated with a respective gimbal of a plurality of gimbals carried by a movable object and configured to depict data captured by a payload carried by the respective gimbal. The plurality of regions include a first region and a second region, and the plurality of gimbals include a first gimbal associated with the first region and a second gimbal associated with the second region. The method further includes, in response to a user interaction with the first region, controlling operation of the first gimbal and not operation of the second gimbal based on the user interaction with the first region when the movable object is operating in an independent mode, and simultaneously controlling the operation of the first gimbal and at least the operation of the second gimbal in a synchronized manner based on the user interaction with the first region when the movable object is operating in a simultaneous mode.
