Gimbal and unmanned aerial vehicle provided with gimbal

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:

• a vehicle body;
• and
• a gimbal connected to the vehicle body, the gimbal including:
• a photographing device;
• a support assembly carrying the photographing device;
• a connection assembly connected to the support assembly;
• and
• a plurality of shock absorption balls mounted at the connection assembly and connecting the gimbal to the vehicle body;
• wherein:
• a geometric plane where geometric centers of the plurality of shock absorption balls are located is oblique relative to a horizontal direction;
• the vehicle body includes a mounting assembly;
• and
• the connection assembly is mounted at the mounting assembly,
• wherein a distance between a centroid of a geometric shape formed by the geometric centers of the plurality of shock absorption balls and a center of gravity of the gimbal is smaller than a maximum distance, the maximum distance being a maximum one of distances between the center of gravity of the gimbal and horizontal planes where the geometric centers of the plurality of shock absorption balls are located.

A gimbal, comprising:

• a photographing device;
• a support assembly carrying the photographing device;
• a connection assembly connected to the support assembly;
• and
• a plurality of shock absorption balls mounted at the connection assembly and configured to connect the gimbal to a vehicle body of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
• wherein a geometric plane where geometric centers of the plurality of shock absorption balls are located is oblique relative to a horizontal direction, and
• wherein one or more of the plurality of shock absorption balls are located above a horizontal plane where a center of gravity of the gimbal is located, and another one or more of the plurality of shock absorption balls are located below the horizontal plane where the center of gravity of the gimbal is located.
