The gimbal handle includes a handle body and a hand grip detachably mounted at the handle body. The handle body includes an external interface configured to connect the gimbal with an external device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A handheld gimbal device comprising: a gimbal; and a gimbal handle connected to the gimbal and including: a handle body including an external interface configured to be connected between the gimbal and an external device; and a hand grip detachably mounted at the handle body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The handheld gimbal device of claim 1, wherein the external interface is configured to connect with at least one of a focus follower, a secondary handle, a U disk, a display screen, or a microphone. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The handheld gimbal device of claim 1, wherein the external interface is configured to connect with a focus follower, and the focus follower includes a display screen for displaying parameters of the gimbal and a control button for adjusting the parameters of the gimbal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The handheld gimbal device of claim 1, wherein the hand grip is configured to supply power to the gimbal. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The handheld gimbal device of claim 1, wherein: one of the handle body and the hand grip includes a slot; another one of the handle body and the hand grip includes a lock mechanism configured to at least partially reach into the slot when the handle body and the hand grip are assembled together; the slot includes a first abutment wall extending obliquely with respect to a bottom surface of the slot; the lock mechanism includes a second abutment wall that extends obliquely with respect to the bottom surface of the slot; and the lock mechanism is configured to move relative to the slot to cause the first abutment wall abut against or separate from the second abutment wall, to assemble or disassemble the handle body and hand grip. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The handheld gimbal device of claim 5, wherein: the lock mechanism includes a lock cam and a wrench connected to the lock cam; and the second abutment wall includes at least a part of a sidewall of the lock cam. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The handheld gimbal device of claim 6, wherein the lock cam includes an eccentric wheel. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The handheld gimbal device of claim 7, wherein a sidewall of the eccentric wheel extends obliquely with respect to a bottom surface of the eccentric wheel. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The handheld gimbal device of claim 8, wherein a compression block is disposed at a side of the eccentric wheel, and the compression block includes the second abutment wall. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The handheld gimbal device of claim 6, wherein the lock mechanism includes a shaft member configured to pass through the lock cam to mount the lock cam to the other one of the handle body and the hand grip. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The handheld gimbal device of claim 6, wherein the lock cam and the wrench are integrally formed. ### Claim 12 (depends on 5) The handheld gimbal device of claim 5, wherein the lock mechanism is configured to move relative to the slot to cause the second abutment wall to move up and down relative to the first abutment wall. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The handheld gimbal device of claim 12, wherein: the lock mechanism includes a wrench, a transmission member connected to the wrench, and a movable compression block connected to the transmission member; the moveable compression block includes the second abutment wall; and the wrench and the transmission member are configured to rotate to move the movable compression block up and down. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The handheld gimbal device of claim 13, wherein: the wrench includes a wrench clamping tooth; the transmission member includes a transmission clamping tooth that meshes with the wrench clamping tooth, and the wrench is configured to rotate the transmission member through the wrench clamping tooth and the transmission clamping tooth. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The handheld gimbal device of claim 14, wherein: a through hole is provided at one end of the wrench; the wrench clamping tooth is formed in the through hole; and one end of the transmission member is inserted in the through hole. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The handheld gimbal device of claim 13, wherein one end of the transmission member far from the wrench is formed with threads and is flexibly connected with the movable compression block through the threads. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The handheld gimbal device of claim 13, wherein the wrench and the transmission member are fixedly connected. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The handheld gimbal device of claim 1, wherein the external interface is configured to be directly electrically connected to a connection interface of the external device to connect the gimbal to the external device. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The handheld gimbal device of claim 1, wherein the handle body further includes a fixation hole provided at upper or lower side of the external interface to fix the external device at the handle body. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The handheld gimbal device of claim 1, wherein a lower end of the handle body is provided with an interface matching a battery in the hand grip.
