| Abstract | Control mechanisms can deliver more control and accuracy in performing a function by eliminating human error. Video production has become a function involved with lot of engi- neering applications with the development of science and technology. This project presents pitch-yaw axis control of a pan-tilt gimbal for camera. Gimbal mechnism is widely used by pitch-yaw control mechanisms. In my project I mount a gopro camera on the gimbal joint and control it using two actuators. The mechanism can identify its orientation, adjust itself to a position and stabilize along the direction. An inertial measurement unit is used to obtain pitch yaw angles of the device. This device can be used as an alternative to handicam or steadicam which are purely mechanical devices. It can be used to obtain undisturbed video footages from a gopro action camera. This application will be a vital in the field of video pro- duction to obtain steady video footages from a camera which do not have image stabilization option built in. |
