Abstract

A stabilizing mount system for cameras, sensors and weapons. This invention stabilizes payloads such as cameras sensors and weapons on moving vehicles such as HMMWVs, (military Humvees) off-road vehicles, boats aircraft and unmanned vehicles. The stabilizing mount system allows hands-on control of the payload device such as the camera or weapon while the stabilization is active. This includes allowing a gunner of a crew served weapon to free-gun or have hands-on control to operate the weapon while the weapon is being actively stabilized. The invention has various modes including target lock. Cameras and sensors are also stabilized and provide a useable output for a remote operator or artificially intelligent computer.
