Provided in an embodiment of the present invention are a gimbal control method, an unmanned aerial vehicle, a gimbal, and a storage medium. The gimbal control method is implemented in an unmanned aerial vehicle provided with a gimbal.

The joint angle is an angle of a gimbal shaft relative to the gimbal in a joint coordinate system. In the embodiment of the present invention, controlling a gimbal to move from a current joint angle to a target joint angle effectively ensures that the gimbal does not reach a position-limiting position, thereby realizing protection and control of the gimbal, and ensuring safety of the gimbal.
Provided is a method of controlling a gimbal provided at a movable object comprising a compass.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING GIMBAL HEAD, GIMBAL HEAD CONTROLLER, AND GIMBAL HEAD
A method for controlling a gimbal head (20), a gimbal head controller (140), and the gimbal head (20). When a gimbal head base (24) rotates with the pitch axis of the gimbal head base (24) as the axis of rotation, by acquiring the yaw posture of the gimbal head base (24), a target yaw posture of the gimbal head (20) is determined, and the actual yaw posture of the gimbal head (20) is controlled on the basis of the determined target yaw posture of the gimbal head (20), thus allowing the actual yaw posture of the gimbal head (20) to change with the yaw posture of the gimbal head base (24), preventing the gimbal head (20) from rotating uncontrollably in a process of switching between high and low camera positions, and allowing a camera (14) to capture a steady shot from high to low or from low to high.
