A device designed to securely attach a camera to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for aerial photography and videography. These mechanisms vary in complexity from simple fixed platforms to advanced gimbal systems that stabilize the camera and allow for remote control of its orientation.
The ability to affix a camera to a drone unlocks diverse applications, from surveying and inspection to filmmaking and environmental monitoring. Early iterations were rudimentary, offering limited stability; however, advancements in materials science and control systems have led to sophisticated mounts capable of delivering smooth, professional-grade imagery and data.
