Smartphone Gimbal

I. Principle of smartphone gimbal stabilizer
A three-axis gyroscope and a three-axis acceleration sensor are used for filtering out most of the vibration, the gyroscope is responded after the equipment has an angle deviation, the response is transmitted to a motor according to an algorithm, and the angle is corrected reversely according to a certain control amount, so that the shooting equipment is kept in a stable state all the time, and the relative position of the lens to the ground is maintained.

II. Classification of smartphone gimbal stabilizer
It can be distinguished from two dimensions:
One is determined by the optical equipment, that is, the equipment we usually use to shoot video, such as professional SLR, micro single camera stabilizer, action camera stabilizer, and smartphone stabilizer.
Second, it is determined from its own hardware foundation, that is, single-axis, dual-axis, and three-axis.

The larger the number of axes, the higher the stability. Nowadays, three-axis stabilizer technology has become the standard of smartphone stabilizer technology, which can keep the smartphone stable in three spatial dimensions. It can adapt to more requirements of moving mirrors. Compared with single-axis and dual-axis, it has higher flexibility. Therefore, its three-axis achieves the highest threshold from the technical level, and the pictures taken are also the most stable and mature.

III, the role of smartphone gimbal stabilizer
1. Enhance the stability of picture shooting, so that we can reduce the picture jitter caused by hand-held camera when shooting video, and better stabilize the smartphone.

2. Use the flexible folding arm of the three-axis stabilizer to smoothly move the mirror with high difficulty, shoot a richer picture, improve the fluency and aesthetic feeling of the picture, make the video more advanced, and shoot a large picture anytime and anywhere.

IV. Selection of smartphone gimbal stabilizer
In terms of choice, I think it is good to consider the following four aspects.
1. Easy to carry. Stabilizer is often used outdoors. Who wants to carry a big thing around when taking street photos and traveling? Therefore, its size should not be too large and too heavy. If there is a stabilizer, only the size of a palm, which can be put into pockets and bags at any time, it can often be carried out. Even if there is a flash of inspiration on the road,It will not miss the memorable pictures because of shaking. So anyone can use it as a stand, which is really convenient.

2. Stability. In theory, the better the bearing capacity of the motor and the more performance redundancy, the better its stability. Of course, we also have to choose according to the weight of the smartphone. In the past, some brands of stabilizers had various problems such as Bluetooth can not connect, motor tail flick and so on.

3. The degree of difficulty in operation. People who have shot videos know the importance of hand feeling. Whether the stabilizer is smart and easy to use, and the level of maneuverability determine the quality of its hand feeling in use. Most of the stabilizers on the market have many buttons and are cumbersome to operate, because most people do not have professional photography skills, so the simpler and more convenient the function, the better.It can be used at any time and anywhere. In fact, friends who don't know how to use the mirror probably can't use the professional stabilizer with many operation functions, and it's easy to accumulate dust if they don't understand it.

4, cost-effective, if not professional to play video, for Xiaobai, there is no need to pursue expensive machines, cost-effective and popular products are the most appropriate, it is best to have a meal money to taste new. In the final analysis, the stabilizer is still an auxiliary device, and when choosing, it pays more attention to the cost performance, a stabilizer with mature technology and moderate price.Is acceptable to most users.
