A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11968448B2) discloses an innovative imaging support device designed to enhance imaging performance. The device includes a processor and memory that work together to adjust the position of a target subject image captured by an imaging apparatus. This adjustment is achieved through a combination of a revolution mechanism that causes the imaging apparatus to revolve and a shake correction component that corrects any shake resulting from vibrations. Notably, the resolution for adjusting the image position using the shake correction component is higher than that of the revolution mechanism, ensuring precise image stabilization.

Furthermore, the patent details the incorporation of various components such as optical or electronic shake correction mechanisms within the imaging support device. The processor is programmed to control the adjustment process based on the movement amount required for positioning the target subject image accurately. Additionally, the device features a biaxial revolution mechanism that enables the imaging apparatus to revolve in different directions, further enhancing its imaging capabilities. The patent also covers the integration of the imaging support device into an imaging apparatus and system, highlighting its potential applications in the field of photography and imaging technology.
