    Gimbal lock - Wikipedia

    • Gimbal lock is the loss of one degree of freedom in a multi-dimensional mechanism at certain alignments of the axes. In a three-dimensional three-gimbal mechanism, gimbal lock occurs when the axes of two of the gimbals are driven into a parallel configuration, "locking" the system into rotation in a degenerate two-dimensional space. The term gim… See more

    Gimbals

    A gimbal is a ring that is suspended so it can rotate about an axis. Gimbals are typically nested one within … See more

    In engineering

    While only two specific orientations produce exact gimbal lock, practical mechanical gimbals encounter difficulties near those orientations. When a set of gimbals is close to the locked configuratio… See more

    In applied mathematics

    The problem of gimbal lock appears when one uses Euler angles in applied mathematics; developers of 3D computer programs, such as 3D modeling, embedded navigation systems, and video games must take care to … See more

    What is gimbal lock mode?
    The gimbal lock mode is one of the four modes available on the camera. FPV means the lens will follow all movements of the handle, like a normal camera. "Follow Mode" means that the horizon is locked but all other axes will follow the handle. "Tilt Lock" is the same, except the tilt down and up axis is locked also, but pan is still possible.
