Shooting apparatus with stabilizer module
First Claim
1. A shooting apparatus with a stabilizer module, comprising a shooting module, a stabilizer module and a main control module, wherein the shooting module and the stabilizer module are respectively connected with the main control module, wherein the stabilizer module comprises a handheld part and three motors, an X-axis motor, a Y-axis motor, and a Z-axis motor, which are arranged at top of the handheld part and are orthogonal in a space, wherein a stator of the Z-axis motor is connected with the handheld part, a rotor of the Z-axis motor is connected with a stator of the Y-axis motor via a first extension arm, a rotor of the Y-axis motor is connected with a stator of the X-axis motor via a second extension arm, and a rotor of the X-axis motor is connected with the shooting module via a third extension arm;
- the stabilizer module further comprises a button control circuit and a motor control circuit, wherein a signal output of the button control circuit is connected with a signal input of the motor control circuit by the main control module, and a signal output of the motor control circuit is connected with the X-axis motor, the Y-axis motor, and the Z-axis motor, respectively;
the button control circuit is arranged within the handheld part, with buttons thereof protruding out of the handheld part, wherein the buttons include a four-direction navigation key, a function button and a confirm button;
the four-direction navigation key controls the movements of the X-axis motor and the Z-axis motor;
a rotating shaft of the X-axis motor is rotated to lead the shooting module to perform pitching movement when an up key or a down key of the four-direction navigation key is pressed;
a rotating shaft of the Z-axis motor is rotated to lead the shooting module to perform yawing movement when a left key or a right key of the four-direction navigation key is pressed;
selection or exit of a function menu of the shooting module is controlled by the four-direction navigation key;
the stabilizer module is switched among different working modes as follows by means of the function button;
when the function button is pressed for one time, the stabilizer module is switched to a yawing movement following mode, in which the Z-axis motor is in an enabled state while both the X-axis motor and the Y-axis motor are in a lock state;
when the function button is pressed for successive two times, the stabilizer module is switched to a yawing movement and pitching movement following mode, in which both the Z-axis motor and the X-axis motor are in an enabled state while the Y-axis motor is in a lock state;
when the function button is long-pressed for one second, the stabilizer module is switched to a locking mode, in which the X-axis motor, the Y-axis motor and the Z-axis motor are all in a lock state;
when the function button is triple-clicked, the shooting apparatus is switched to the function menu of the shooting module;
the confirm button is used for confirming photo shooting, video shooting, or other options of the function menu;
a balance weight is arranged at one side of the X-axis motor away from the shooting module;
mounting holes for connecting with an external mount support are respectively arranged at the top and the bottom of the handheld part.
