Multi-Axis Gimbal Stand for Wider Angle Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current photographic accessories, such as gimbals and tripods, have limited adjustment ranges and complexities in assembly and disassembly, restricting precise control over shooting angles and device orientation.
Innovation Solution
A gimbal system with a base, tilt mechanism, pan mechanism, and spherical mechanism, along with a detachable rocker arm and screwdriver bit assembly, allows for multi-directional control of photographic device orientation and adjustable shooting angles without external tools, enhancing the quality of photographic work.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional gimbal with fixed adjustment mechanisms is used, then the structure is simple, but the adjustment range of shooting angle is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The gimbal is divided into multiple independent adjustment mechanisms: a tilt mechanism for vertical angle adjustment, a pan mechanism for horizontal rotation, and a spherical mechanism for multi-directional positioning. Each mechanism operates independently with its own adjustment range, allowing the overall system to achieve a comprehensive adjustment range without requiring a single complex mechanism.
2Ease of operation
If a traditional gimbal with integrated tools is used, then assembly is simplified, but disassembly becomes cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The rocker arm mechanism transitions between two functional states: when the functional assembly is installed, it provides screwdriver bits for tool-based assembly; when removed, the rocker arm itself becomes a rotating rod that can be manually swung to adjust the tilt angle. This dynamic adaptability allows the same structure to serve multiple purposes depending on operational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The rocker arm serves dual functions: it acts as a structural component providing tilt adjustment capability, and when equipped with the functional assembly, it becomes a tool holder for screwdriver bits. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate external tools while maintaining operational flexibility.
3Measurement precision
If external tools are required for adjustment, then precision is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The gimbal includes built-in screwdriver bits integrated into the functional assembly that can be attached to the rocker arm. This self-service design eliminates the need for external adjustment tools, allowing users to perform precise angle adjustments directly on the device without requiring separate screwdrivers or other external instruments.
