[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle pods, in particular to a rotatable pod structure for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Drones usually include visual components that can take photos or videos of scenes on the ground or in the air to achieve the purpose of image acquisition. They can also avoid obstacles, determine height or recognize images through visual components. Among them, drones can include a fuselage and a pod. The pod is suspended under the fuselage by a cantilever, and the visual components can be placed in the pod. In the future, drone pods will develop towards smaller, more precise, multifunctional and more efficient information processing capabilities. They may include new optical materials, the use of multiple detectors, fully digital operations, the improvement of image stabilization technology, and the standardization of dynamic performance measurement methods.

[0003] At present, most of the visual components installed on the rotating pod of drones are directly exposed to the outside. Although this makes it easier for the visual components to take pictures and record videos, long-term exposure will also make the visual components more vulnerable to damage, especially in windy weather, when objects can easily hit the visual components, causing losses to people.
