Vibration Cancellation by sacrificed mass method for UAV Gymbal Camera

Abstract

The growth of Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), will be followed by the development of the subsystem behind the core of this technology. Airframe, Engine, Navigation, Telemetry, communication, and the payload sensors. Camera commonly known as the first payload for the UAV. The development of the camera and imaging devices of the world, make the factory of this kind device, races to make and produce more smaller, higher resolution, higher speed, higher capacity and etc. this situation gives some advantages for all developer to applied this kind of technology to embedded with currently system that they had. Gymbal camera system is the special system that’s integrated with camera to have the capability moving on each axis. Some gymbal camera system usually applied for
cinematography industry. But currently years, some UAV developer adopted this system to their vehicle. The most problem for the gymbal camera system is on the vibration noises generation from propulsion system of the UAV. Electric system propulsion of UAV more tolerant than the Engine propulsion system. Some method to identified and cancellation of this vibration have been conducted by all uav developers. This paper present the kind of method to cancellation this vibration by sacrificed mass
method. Step by step to applied this concept design will described in this paper.
