Motion stabilization on a motorized monopod jib

Abstract:

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, using at least one sensor, a displacement event associated with a monopod jib, wherein the displacement event moves a portion of the monopod jib from a first position to a second position; calculating, using a processor, an adjustment value for at least one of a plurality of motors of a stabilization mechanism operatively coupled to the monopod jib, wherein the calculated adjustment value identifies a motor movement to counteract the displacement event; activating the at least one of a plurality of motors corresponding to the calculated adjustment value; and adjusting, using the activated at least one of the plurality of motors, at least one portion of the stabilization mechanism using the calculated adjustment value. Other embodiments are shown and described.
