Abstract: A posture maintaining device for a 360° camera according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a first correcting portion comprising a seating portion, on which a camera having a 360° view angle is seated, the first correcting portion being able to make a rotational movement about a first direction; a second correcting portion arranged on one side of the first correcting portion to be able to make a rotational movement about a second direction, which is different from the first direction; a third correcting portion arranged on the lower end of the second correcting portion to be able to make a rotational movement about a third direction, which is different from the first or second direction; and a counterbalance connected to the first correcting portion and configured to guide the camera so as to remain horizontal. A posture maintaining device for a 360° camera according to an embodiment of the present invention corrects the inclination in real time when images are taken through a camera having a 360° view angle, making it possible to implement pictures or moving images without vibration. Moreover, when images are taken through a camera having a 360° view angle, a gimbal with minimized image blocking is implemented, making it possible to obtain images with minimized interference.

Abstract: A horizontal-posture maintaining apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a barrel, a cover unit provided on a side surface of the barrel, a first driver provided in the cover unit, for rotating the barrel in a first direction (around an X axis) to keep the barrel in horizontal posture, a second driver provided in the cover unit, for rotating the cover unit in a second direction (around a Y axis) to keep the barrel in the horizontal posture, and a controller for controlling rotation of the first and second drivers.
