Abstract
A two axis gimbal set for a pod mounted electro-optical system wherein the azimuth gimbal is supported by the elevation gimbal which in turn is supported between a pair of spaced supporting arms of a base by bearings, one of which has a circular opening therein through which the line-of-sight travels from the optical system to a movable mirror. An inertial dampener is attached to the mirror shaft for reducing effects of vibration on the line-of-sight.
