Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for controlling a gimbal used to carry a load. The method comprises: detecting a motion state of the gimbal or the load; determining whether a motion of the gimbal or the load is a user-intended motion according to the motion state; controlling the gimbal to move the load in an opposite direction to a moving direction of the motion if the motion is not a user-intended motion, thereby maintaining the load in an original posture; and controlling the load by the gimbal to move along a moving direction of the user-intended motion if the motion is a user-intended motion. The present invention also discloses a system for controlling a gimbal corresponding to the method for controlling a gimbal.
