Solution Overview

Problem

Existing handheld gimbals lack a display screen to show real-time images or videos, making it impossible for users to adjust the camera attitude to meet their requirements, resulting in suboptimal image or video capture.

Innovation Solution

A gimbal with a touch display screen mounted on the handle that displays the photographed image and allows users to input instructions to control the stability augmentation assembly, which includes a processor to send electrical signals to an electronic speed controller to adjust the camera attitude.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a display screen is added to the handheld gimbal to show real-time images, then the user can control the camera attitude according to the photographed image, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera attitude controlVSAvoidgimbal structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the display screen, control buttons, and camera into an integrated handheld gimbal unit. The display screen is disposed on the handle, merging the viewing function with the handling structure, allowing users to see real-time images and control camera attitude within a single unified device without requiring separate equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The handheld gimbal is designed to perform multiple functions: it stabilizes the camera, displays real-time images/videos on the screen, allows user control of camera attitude through buttons, and provides both photographing and monitoring capabilities within a single device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If real-time image display is implemented, then users can adjust camera attitude to meet demands, but the manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage capture qualityVSAvoidgimbal assembly
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The handheld gimbal is divided into distinct functional modules: the handle portion with display screen and control buttons, the stabilizing assembly for camera mounting, and the camera module. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured and tested separately before final assembly, simplifying the overall manufacturing process despite the increased functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
