1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,960
gimbals the gold percussion instruments found at top any standard drum set which

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:10,559
wait sorry let me try that again gimbals the tiny metal or plastic cups that

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:15,080
people wear on their fingers to protect them while sewing which wait wrong again

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:22,039
well how am I supposed to know all of this stuff One Last Time gimbals pivoted

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:27,760
support mechanisms that allow attached objects to be rotated around a central

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,599
axis but if that definition sent your head spinning around its Central axis

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,559
like it did to mine here's a plain English one it lets an object let's say

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:41,160
a drink stay oriented one way even when

9
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:43,640
whatever it's mounted to is rotating and

10
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:47,719
cup holders that don't spill when a ship is swaying back and forth in the ocean

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,559
are just the beginning those who have seen our video about Optical image

12
00:00:49,879 --> 00:00:58,600
stabilization will already be aware that miniature gyroscopic sensors make

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,359
greater stability possible in cameras by

14
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:07,439
monitoring and affecting lens position in response to stimuli this process is

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,720
remarkably similar to other systems like one's responsible for keeping commercial

16
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:17,479
airliners autopilot programs constantly aware of the horizon or those that keep

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:23,280
large luxury cruise liners from tipping over usually and triple gimbal support

18
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:29,920
mounts known as Gyros that's better make it possible for

19
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:32,320
an item to rotate completely free of its

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:38,119
mounting allowing something like a a drone mounted camera to not only be

21
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:42,240
stabilized up and down pitch left and

22
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:45,079
right y but also on the third roll axis

23
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,960
meaning that the camera shot stays level even when the Airborne platform it's

24
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:54,439
attached to is altering its angle dramatically to get like that sick pan

25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:59,960
shot so gimbals that are paired with sensors and capable of manual adjustment

26
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:05,640
of the orientation of the mounted object in addition to providing resistance to a

27
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:10,640
change in orientation are called motored systems and you can find them on more

28
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:15,519
than just drones I mean even rocket propulsion systems use them to allow

29
00:02:13,239 --> 00:02:20,640
thrust to be applied to the rocket ship in different directions as needed but

30
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:25,239
what do drones and Rockets have in common well they're both complicated and

31
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:29,360
expensive so if the goal is to build a better selfie stick or whatever the

32
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:36,160
other type of gimbal you might encounter is a motorless one these systems rely on

33
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:39,159
precise balance and sometimes even user

34
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:43,120
intervention directly to keep them still and they are less capable of

35
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:48,519
compensating for sudden aggressive movements but they are lighter and less

36
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,760
expensive when a motored gimbal isn't required which still doesn't explain why

37
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,239
the Blair Witch Project looked like absolute garbage none of this stuff is

38
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:01,879
new and even though it's taken until now for many mainstream folks to realize

39
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:06,280
that they're surrounded by gyroscopes and gimbals there are drawings of ink

40
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:11,280
pots that never tip over going back thousands of years cool hey you know

41
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,120
what else is cool fresh books it's the online

42
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,519
accounting wonder I was trying to come up with a word there that wasn't

43
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:22,280
Extravaganza because that was what I was about to say and let's face it even

44
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:27,319
though fresh books does make your invoicing and getting paid and tracking

45
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:31,000
expenses easier I wouldn't call anything that involves accounting and

46
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:35,560
extravaganza basically it's a way to keep little details about you know cash

47
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,840
flow and how many hours you've worked on this project in one place and it shows a

48
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:46,439
full history of each invoice allowing you to check if your client has viewed

49
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,439
the invoice as well as allow them to pay

50
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:50,840
directly via credit card through fresh

51
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:57,599
books which is pretty awesome because we all know that doing the work is one thing actually getting paid for it is

52
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,439
quite another and you can monitor all of this from your phone so you can do it

53
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:06,439
while you're out in between jobs or whatever else the case may be instead of

54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,439
getting home at the end of the day plopping yourself down in front of your

55
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:14,000
computer and trying to remember what the crap happened that day when you're tired

56
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,600
because you've been working so if you're Your Own Boss you should be using stuff

57
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:23,240
that makes you feel like a boss and you want to head over to freshbooks.com

don't forget to enter Techquickie in the how did You Hear About Us section

60
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,080
it's always pronounced like that how did you hear about us

61
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,479
or just how did you hear about us that's fine too thanks for watching guys if you

62
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:39,720
like this video do that thing if you disliked it do the other thing if you

63
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:43,600
are wanting to check out some pretty cool videos on our other channels then
