GIMBAL, pivoted support that rotate, roll, pitch and yaw, counteracts changes from movements, keeps camera steady, Gimbal 3D gimbal, motion in three axes (roll, pitch and yaw), Gimbal 2D (roll and pitch)

A GIMBAL for cameras is a pivoted support that allows the rotation (roll, pitch and yaw) of an object and also allows an object mounted to remain independent of the movements of its support, keeping the camera pointed at the same place despite motion of the Quad flight. It highly improves image quality and stability when recording videos and photos. A gimbal basically counteracts changes in the aircraft’s movements to keep the camera as steady as possible. For example: 1) When the Quad suddenly pitches down due to a headwind, the gimbal will pitch (tilt) up a bit to compensate. 2) If the aircraft rotate a bit, gimbal set will counteract this motion by rolling a bit in reverse to negate this motion. 3) If there is a pitch and a roll at the same time a bit of the yaw  component  will be needed to  counteract this complex motion and keep things aligned. There is available at the market, 2D and 3D gimbals. The 3D set can compensate for motion in all three axes (roll, pitch and yaw) whereas the 2D can only compensate for motion in roll and pitch (see diagram above). Results of video capturing with the 2D on pan moves, tend to be more shaken when comparing to 3D gimbal that provides smoother horizontal movements, giving more professional look to video recording. The 3D has an extra added motor to the top to control the yaw.
