The principle and structure of a stabilizer for photography, please ask for a design drawing or schematic diagram. (Prepare to DIY one yourself)

I just happened to come across model airplanes and aerial photography. What a coincidence, I also like to play with cameras.

In fact, the principle is really simple. It senses the position of the camera through sensors such as gyroscope accelerometer, and then processes the data through the microcontroller and issues instructions for the motor (usually a brushless motor) to move to offset. Unnecessary camera movements.

The required materials are: control board, brushless motor, ESC, gimbal frame, sensor, control rod, battery

There are many kinds of gimbal control boards now, generally There are all these kinds

Russian: AlexMos (commercial control panel, used in many places, it is found in many major movies)

Germany: simpleBGC (open source product , most of the low-end market, few people will use it for SLR and professional camera control, but it is used a lot on mobile phones and GoPro)

USA: storm32: (Similarly open source, the 3-axis control effect is still good. Yes, many people also use it on SLRs)

In fact, it is not difficult to DIY a stabilizer, but debugging is very time-consuming. Especially open source ones. The general adjustments include

center of gravity and pid value, which require a little knowledge to adjust.

Another answer upstairs is to use Arduino+three-axis gyroscope. Is that okay? OK, but Arduino's processing performance is limited, and it involves microcontroller programming. Even if it is written, it is very tedious work to make various corrections and debug in order to use it in various environments.

In terms of practicality, if you really want to DIY, choose DIY with a control panel. It takes dozens of minutes to roughly adjust the parameters, and several months or even more than a year to accurately adjust the parameters.

China also has world-famous products, which can be used after unpacking, assembly and simple debugging, just like computer assembly, with not much difficulty.
