Abstract
A camera gimbal is provided having first and second arms, a support connected to the second arm and having an upper end to which a camera may be mounted and a lower end to which a counterweight is connected, and a gearbox including a gear and a rotary damper. The second arm is rotatable relative to the first arm and includes a proximal end portion forming a housing for the gearbox and a distal end portion to which the support is connected. The camera gimbal is purely-mechanical in operation and is without connection to a power source relying solely on gravity acting on a camera mounted on the support and the counterweight to cause rotation of the first arm relative to the second arm to maintain the camera in a relatively level position while the rotary damper damps the rotational movement.
