A posture maintaining device for a 360&#xb0; camera according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a first correcting portion comprising a seating portion, on which a camera having a 360&#xb0; view angle is seated, the first correcting portion being able to make a rotational movement about a first direction; a second correcting portion arranged on one side of the first correcting portion to be able to make a rotational movement about a second direction, which is different from the first direction; a third correcting portion arranged on the lower end of the second correcting portion to be able to make a rotational movement about a third direction, which is different from the first or second direction; and a counterbalance connected to the first correcting portion and configured to guide the camera so as to remain horizontal. A posture maintaining device for a 360&#xb0; camera according to an embodiment of the present invention corrects the inclination in real time when images are taken through a camera having a 360&#xb0; view angle, making it possible to implement pictures or moving images without vibration. Moreover, when images are taken through a camera having a 360&#xb0; view angle, a gimbal with minimized image blocking is implemented, making it possible to obtain images with minimized interference.

Horizontal posture maintaining device and posture maintaining device driving method

A photographing apparatus is provided. The photographing apparatus includes a photographing unit comprising a photographing sensor and a lens unit configured to focus image light onto the photographing sensor, a first driver configured to drive the photographing sensor to perform a first rotation about a first axis that is coincide with an optical axis of the lens unit, and a second driver configured to drive the photographing unit and the first driver to perform a second rotation about a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis.

Photographing apparatus, unmanned aerial vehicle having the photographing apparatus, and attitude control method for the photographing apparatus

A horizontal-posture maintaining apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a barrel, a cover unit provided on a side surface of the barrel, a first driver provided in the cover unit, for rotating the barrel in a first direction (around an X axis) to keep the barrel in horizontal posture, a second driver provided in the cover unit, for rotating the cover unit in a second direction (around a Y axis) to keep the barrel in the horizontal posture, and a controller for controlling rotation of the first and second drivers.

Horizontal-posture maintaining apparatus

A photographing apparatus, a method of operating the photographing apparatus, and a wireless communication terminal including the photographing apparatus are provided. The photographing apparatus includes a first incident unit to which a first light is incident, a second incident unit to which a second light different from the first light is incident, an image sensor to which the first light and the second light are incident, a first light path changing unit configured to change a path of the first light from the first incident unit to the image sensor, and a second light path changing unit configured to change a path of the second light from the second incident unit to the image sensor.
