Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If smartphone apps are used to control gimbal devices, then remote control capability is provided, but control precision deteriorates and battery dependency increases
Solution Approach 1:
A wireless communication circuit is introduced as an intermediary between the operation member and the gimbal device, enabling direct wireless control without requiring smartphone apps. The controller detects operations on the operation member and transmits control data wirelessly to the gimbal device, eliminating the need for smartphone intermediaries and improving both control precision and operational independence.
2Ease of operation
If smartphone apps are used to control photographing devices, then remote control capability is provided, but control precision deteriorates and battery dependency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication circuit serves as a direct intermediary between the operation member and the photographing device, transmitting control data wirelessly without requiring smartphone apps. This eliminates the precision loss and battery dependency associated with smartphone-based control while maintaining remote control capability.
3Ease of operation
If smartphone apps are used for control, then remote control is enabled, but device complexity increases and reliability decreases due to battery dependency
Solution Approach 1:
A wireless communication circuit is introduced as a direct intermediary between the operation member and the gimbal device, enabling remote control without requiring smartphone apps. This simplifies the overall system by eliminating the need for external smartphone devices and their associated software, while improving reliability through independent operation.
4Ease of operation
If smartphone apps are used for control, then remote control is enabled, but reliability deteriorates due to battery dependency
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless communication circuit provides a direct communication path between the operation member and the gimbal device, eliminating dependency on smartphone batteries. The controller detects operations and transmits control data wirelessly, ensuring continuous and reliable operation independent of external power sources.

AI summary
A detachable control device includes an operation member, a detachable interface configured to attach the detachable control device to a handle of a gimbal device, a wireless communication circuit, and a controller configured to detect an operation on the operation member, and generate control data according to the operation. The control data includes at least one of gimbal orientation control data for controlling an attitude of a gimbal of the gimbal device or camera function control data for controlling a photographing device mounted at the gimbal to perform a corresponding function. If the detachable control device is not attached to the handle, the controller sends the control data to at least one of the gimbal device or the photographing device through the wireless communication circuit.
