The inert system of stabilization of the photo/video-camera. The platform is assigned for stabilization of the video-camera, if the latter is mounted on the instable objects. The platform is fixed in the horizontal flatness and secures free rotation along two axles. It is sufficient to connect the feeding battery and the line of horizon will stop flickering. Softer stabilization is secured, if compared with the electronic systems of stabilization.The mechanical gyroscope is used for stabilization. It is provided with the shock-absorbers, assigned for reduction of the high-frequency vibrations. It is supplied in the assembled shape together with the gyroscope. A more detailed comparative analysis of camera mounts is submitted in the article:
The mechanical gyroscope The mechanical gyroscope is an ideal solution for stabilization of the camera, if it is not needed to maneuver during shooting. The mechanical gyroscope is installed together with the video-camera on the gimbal. The possibility of free tilt of the camera must be secured. The camera must be balanced in such a way so that the axle of the switched off gyroscope is strictly vertically positioned. If the camera is installed on the inactive object, for example – on the Dirigible balloon, the centre of the platform’s mass with the gyroscope and the camera can be lowered for several centimeters downwards as regards the axles of the suspension bracket. The center of the mass must be brought nearer to the axles of the suspension bracket, installed on the movable object, for example, on the helicopter, otherwise the camera will be swinging during the maneuvers as a large and heavy pendulum (fluently, but for a long time). Efficiency of operation of the gyroscope depends upon the mass of the camera and upon precision of balancing. The platform with the gyroscope must be turned around in the horizontal position. If the gyroscope is tilted at the moment of turning around, the camera will also tilt through the effect of precession.
The gyroscope is provided with the pads, assigned for deadening the high-frequency vibrations. The fixing device of the gyroscope supposes the tilt of the camera, making 30 degrees regarding the horizon. The battery with tension of 6-8V is used for feeding the gyroscope. It is possible to connect the gyroscope directly to the battery or via the speed controller. Application of the speed controller will allow a soft run-in of the disc and regulation of the speed of rotation; besides, it will secure switching of the gyroscope off, if the battery gets discharged. The higher the speed of rotation is, the better the effect of stabilization is achieved; however, the noise and consumption of energy increase.
