Image for Three-Axis Stabilization

Three-Axis Stabilization

Three-axis stabilization is a method used to keep an object (like a camera or spacecraft) steady by controlling its orientation around three perpendicular axes: pitch (up and down), yaw (side to side), and roll (rotation around the forward axis). Sensors detect any unwanted movements or tilts, and motors or reaction devices adjust the object's position to counteract these deviations, maintaining a stable and level orientation. This process ensures smooth, stable images or precise positioning, essential for applications like aerial photography, satellite operation, and camera gimbals.
