Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Gimbals experience image jitter during mode switching, compromising the smoothness and stability of video or image shooting due to abrupt changes in posture.
Innovation Solution
A gimbal control method and device that determine a current working mode and switch to a new mode when preset conditions are met, ensuring smooth transitions by adjusting the axis of rotation to maintain stability during mode changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the gimbal switches between various shooting modes due to scenario changes, then the adaptability of the gimbal is improved, but the shot image jitters and stability is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The control device predicts the user's intended shooting mode in advance based on scenario recognition, and pre-adjusts the gimbal posture to match the predicted mode. This preliminary action ensures that when the user actually switches modes, the gimbal is already in the correct posture configuration, avoiding abrupt movements and image jitter during transitions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the gimbal's control parameters and posture transition strategies based on the current shooting mode, camera parameters, and real-time scenario. Different damping coefficients, transition speeds, and posture interpolation methods are applied for different modes (e.g., horizontal shooting vs. vertical shooting), enabling smooth and context-appropriate mode transitions without compromising image stability.
2Speed
If the gimbal adjusts posture abruptly during mode switching, then the response speed is improved, but the smoothness of video or image shooting deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By predicting the target shooting mode in advance and pre-calculating the optimal posture transition path, the system prepares the gimbal for mode switching before the user actually initiates it. This reduces the perceived response time while maintaining smooth transitions, as the heavy computational work and posture adjustment are already in progress or completed by the time the mode change is needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key control parameters dynamically during mode transitions, including transition speed profiles, damping coefficients, and posture interpolation factors. These parameter adjustments ensure that the gimbal responds quickly to mode changes while maintaining smooth, controlled movements that prevent image jitter and preserve video shooting quality throughout the transition process.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a gimbal control method, a device, a gimbal, a system, and a storage medium. The gimbal includes at least one axis of rotation. The method includes: determining a current first working mode of the gimbal; and if the gimbal satisfies a preset mode switching condition, controlling the gimbal to switch from the first working mode to a second working mode, and enabling the gimbal to maintain smooth and stable operation during the switching process, where in the first working mode, the axis of rotation is configured to enable the gimbal to face a first direction, and in the second working mode, the axis of rotation is configured to enable the gimbal to face a second direction. In this way, smooth transition of the gimbal can be maintained during mode switching, so that stability of image shooting during mode switching of the gimbal is improved.
