[0057] Embodiment One

[0058] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The handle 18 of the present embodiment is intelligent compared with the traditional handle, and the handle 18 serves the intelligent gimbal 14 and the photographic subject. The handle 18 not only has a basic mechanical auxiliary function, that is, the intelligent gimbal 14 can be controlled to rotate in multiple directions to adjust the angle of the photographic subject by holding the handle 18, but also has a detection function for detecting hand holding. The detection function can identify the holding action, and then send a corresponding control signal to the intelligent gimbal 14 or the photographic subject to enhance the automatic control capability.

[0059] Specifically, the handle 18 includes a handle body 36, a detection element, and a control circuit arranged on the handle body 36. The detection element is electrically connected to the control circuit. The detection element is used to detect whether the handle body 36 is held and send a detection signal to the control circuit.

For example, in the embodiment shown, the intelligent gimbal 14 has an electric mode and an electromagnetic damping mode. The intelligent gimbal 14 can be switched from the electric mode to the electromagnetic damping mode by the function button 30. In the prior art, when the gimbal becomes the electromagnetic damping mode, the motor is always in the working mode, which continuously consumes power and affects the endurance.

[0060] In the present embodiment, the detection element is arranged to detect the holding action of the handle body 36. When the detection element does not detect the holding action, it indicates that the photographing action is not needed at this time. The signal that the handle body 36 is not held is sent to the intelligent gimbal 14, the intelligent gimbal 14 is controlled to be in a standby state, the power consumption is greatly reduced, and the product endurance is improved. When the detection element detects the holding action, it indicates that the photographing action needs to be started. The signal that the handle body 36 is held is sent to the intelligent gimbal 14, the intelligent gimbal 14 is switched from the standby state to the working state, and the electromagnetic damping function of the intelligent gimbal 14 is activated. In the electromagnetic damping mode, the motor can provide a reverse damping. When the hand holding the handle body 36 moves in a direction, the motor provides a reverse electromagnetic damping. The damping can be adjusted in size to set the hand feeling, and the electromagnetic damping dynamic balance gimbal mode is entered. After the hand is released, the rotating motor and the pitching motor are in the standby working state, and the power consumption is reduced.
