Drones with camera gimbal

Camera stabilization gimbal

— the presence of a stabilization system in the gimbal on which the drone camera is installed.

The principle of operation of such a device is as follows: a system of sensors and gyroscopes monitors vibrations, vibrations and other extraneous movements of the camera and, if necessary, slightly shifts or rotates it on the suspension so that the image in the frame remains smooth, without jerks and sharp shifts. Camera stabilization performs a similar function (see the relevant paragraph), however, a stabilized gimbal has a number of advantages over it. Firstly, it allows you to use the entire area of the matrix, which further contributes to image quality. Secondly, the “picture” is quite stable even if the installed camera does not have its own stabilizer. And in some modern drones, both stabilization methods are provided at once — both a suspension and a built-in camera; This slightly increases the cost, but the efficiency is maximized.
