Abstract: An imaging device includes a housing, a carrier arranged within the housing, an optical assembly supported by the carrier within the housing, and a plurality of non-optical components arranged within the housing. The carrier includes one or more frame components that are configured to rotate relative to the housing about one or more axes of rotation. The optical assembly includes one or more lenses and an image sensor. The optical assembly is movable relative to the housing via the carrier about the one or more axes of rotation. At least one of the non-optical components is (1) operably coupled to the optical assembly and (2) not supported by the carrier.

Abstract: A damping structure configured for connecting a gimbal with a carrier is provided. The damping structure includes a first connecting member connectable with the gimbal. The damping structure also includes a second connecting member connectable with the carrier. The damping structure also includes a damper elastically disposed between the first connecting member and the second connecting member. The damping structure further includes a separation-proof member connected with the damper and configured to cause the damper to abut against at least one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member through a stretching force generated by vibration of the damper.

Abstract: A lens locking apparatus is configured to be coupled to a lens module. The lens module is configured to focus on an object by translating along an optical axis of the lens module. The lens locking apparatus is configured to fix a position of the lens module by applying a compressive force on the lens module when the lens module is at a focused position.
