Abstract

A method for controlling a carrier includes obtaining a motion characteristic of the carrier. The motion characteristic is indicative of a type of a payload being supported by the carrier. The carrier is configured to support a plurality of different types of payload including the type of the payload being supported by the carrier. The method further includes selecting a set of control parameter(s) from a plurality of different sets of control parameter(s) based on the motion characteristic. Each individual set of control parameter(s) of the plurality of different sets of control parameter(s) is suitable for controlling the carrier to support one of the plurality of different types of payload. The method also includes controlling movement of the carrier according to the selected set of control parameter(s).
