Abstract - In the world of cinematography, camera
Key Words: MPU 6050-Acc & Gyro, AT-MEGA 328
Basically self-balancing platform consists of platform which is balanced by movement of two motors in opposite direction to the movement of the platform. In self-balancing platform the main components are position sensors, microcontroller and servo motors. Depending upon change in platform movement, controlling action is performed. Considering change in platform position due to some movements this change is sensed by position sensor (accelerometer) and signal is send to microcontroller. Depending upon the amount of change in position of Platform and direction, microcontroller energies respective servo motor to bring the platform back to is originally/ stable position. Two servo motors are attached to platform one from top end and other from bottom with help of clamps, such that it is parallel with respect to ground level.
1. INTRODUCTION
2. METHODOLOGY
In the field of photography and cinematography camera accessories like tripod, monopods plays very important role. The main function of these accessories is to provide stabilization to the cameras while shooting. Tripod is one of the common accessory which are used by many photographers and cinematographers for their camera stabilization. Tripod is a 3- legged stand with a camera attachment over it. But tripod has its own disadvantages and it’s not so versatile with the movement, if the camera man has to move from one place to another then moving his setup will cause him some trouble and it also disturbs the frame while recording.
The platform on the top of the monopod stabilizes itself with the help of the two servo motors tilting on the opposite direction of the actual tilt made to the monopod. The main function of analyzing the tilt and giving signal to the servos is done by the AT-Mega microcontroller which analyses the tilt information provided to it by MPU-6050(Accelerometer+ Gyroscope) module.
accessories plays very important role. There are different types of camera accessories among which tripods and monopods are one of the important accessories which have been used most. Now a days there are many different designs of tripods and monopods are available in the market. This project describes our work on building a special type of tripod, which balances the platform on which camera is mounted when the tripod is introduced to any movement. The platform stabilizes itself with the help of accelerometer. An accelerometer is used to estimate the posture through Kalman filter algorithm, then a multi-segment PID controller changes the motor alignment according to the platform motion and posture. The following chapters will cover the details about the components used, construction of the project and its working.
To overcome such problems regarding tripods a new accessory was developed that is monopod. Monopod is a just one legged stand with a camera attachment over it. Monopods are used by the camera man who needs to make more movement while taking shots, it is more versatile to move than the tripods. Now, to make upgrades one level up we are trying to implement the self-balancing technology over the top the monopod which provides more stability to the camera platform while recording the shots.
