Abstract
The invention is directed to a folding image-device stabilizer comprising a three-axis gimbal assembly adapted to be mounted as close to the image device payload to minimize the overall deployed size. The gimbal assembly includes mechanisms to adjustably position an image device so that the stabilizer is in balance fore and aft around the 'tilt' axis repeatedly when the stabilizer is folded and unfolded.
