Embodiment Construction

[0057] In general, the exemplary embodiment of the present invention employs an inherently stable and controlled carriage, such as a Steadicam-type, (generally gimbaled at its center of balance and endowed by extension blocks. angular inertia) as a "servo controller" to cause a spatially displaced second "slave carriage" to simultaneously pan, tilt and / or roll at the other end of the balance pole. The balance bar is supported by its own gimbal at its own center of gravity.

[0058] An exemplary embodiment of the present invention employs a plurality of substantially frictionless rotation sensors to detect three mutually perpendicular rotations of the master sled gimbal as it moves and orients relative to the instantaneous orientation of the connecting balance pole. These rotations are then replicated by a number of servo motors at similar slave carriage gimbals mounted at opposite ends of the balance pole. Some of these "slave" rotations are induced by precise angular reorien...

Abstract

A support system used to orient and utilize equipment remotely positioned from an operator and supported in a stabilized manner. The support system includes a balance pole with a master end and a slave end attached to a master sled and slave sled, respectively. The system includes a mechanism to replicate the motion at the master sled at the slave sled. A gimbal and handle assembly with a motion dampening capabilities is also included.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to stabilization devices for video cameras and other similar equipment. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to an extendable camera stabilization device, typically body mountable, and designed to produce smooth moving shots in all types of terrain. Background technique [0002] Typically, a body-mounted camera stabilization device includes a camera device support system having a three-axis gimbal at its center of gravity. The support structure is typically attached to an articulated support arm, which in turn is attached to a vest worn by the operator, although the arm may be mounted to other fixed or mobile structures. These devices are designed to support and isolate a camera or other device from undesired motion of an operator, vehicle, or operator / vehicle combination walking, running, or moving. A common example of such a device is the Steadicam trademarks of those devices that are marketed. [000...
