1. Inertial stabilizing system for an instrument including a casing and a pivotally carried body in relation to the casing of the instrument, comprisingan oscillogyro as a stability reference which is associated with the casing in such a way that the longitudinal axis of a shaft of the oscillogyro follows substantially the movements of the casing;

  • detecting means for detecting the angular position of the rotational plane (RP) of the oscillogyro;

    a control system for affecting the angular position of the pivotally carried body in accordance with the rotational plane (RP) detected, a rotor of the oscillogyro being located within a case;

    a viscous coupling between the rotor and the shaft;

    said coupling enabling intentional angular change of the rotor-reference plane (RP) by intentional angular moving of the casing and thus, via said control system, an angular change of the pivotally carried body.
