Abstract
A vest-mounted gimbal support incorporates a vest, an arm supported on the vest, and a gimbal set including a first motor, a second motor mounted on the shaft of the first motor, and a camera support mounted on the shaft of the second motor, an inertial measurement unit, and a computer that receives input from the inertial measurement unit and activates the motors in response. The arm may have a shock absorber.
Claims20
A vest-mounted gimbal device, the device comprising:
- a support vest, worn on the person of a user;
- a support arm, mounted on the support vest;
- a gimbal set, mounted on the support arm, the gimbal set comprising at least one first electric motor having a shaft, at least one second electric motor attached to the shaft of the first electric motor, the second motor having a shaft, and a camera bearing member attached to the shaft of the second electric motor;
- an inertial measurement unit detecting and transmitting a rotational motion;
- and
- a computing device configured to receive input from the inertial measurement unit, to determine a kinetic response based upon that input, and to activate the first electric motor and second electric motor based upon the kinetic response.
