The rotation angle of the gimbal, especially the vertical rotation angle, is closely related to the installation method of the load (protective cover/camera/lens assembly). The horizontal rotation angle of the gimbal can generally reach 355 °, because the limit bolt will occupy a certain angle, but there may be a few monitoring blind spots. The current gimbals have been improved with limit devices that can reach 360 ° or even 365 ° (with a coverage angle of 5 °) to eliminate blind spots in monitoring. Users can set the gimbal limit according to the actual situation on site during use.
For example, a wall mounted gimbal installed on a wall only needs to monitor the front 180 ° angle of the gimbal, even if it has a 360 ° rotation angle. Even if it rotates to the back 180 ° angle, it can only see the installation surface (wall) and has no actual monitoring significance. Therefore, wall mounted models only need to monitor a horizontal range of 180 °, while angle mounted models only need to monitor a range of 270 °. This avoids excessive rotation of the gimbal to positions that do not require monitoring, and also improves the efficiency of gimbal usage.
For example, the vertical rotation angle of top mounted gimbals is generally+30 ° to -90 °, while the vertical rotation angle of side mounted gimbals can reach ± 180 °. However, during normal use, the vertical rotation angle should be between+20 ° and -90 °.
