JINPAT - Supplier of Slip Rings for Drones and Handheld Stabilizers

In recent years, drones and handheld stabilizers have become highly popular consumer electronic products. As a leading provider of rotational conductive solutions, JINPAT offers a wide range of products for this field. However, not all drones and handheld stabilizers in the market are equipped with slip rings. Let's explore which types of drones and stabilizers use slip rings and what kind of slip rings are used.

Let's start with handheld stabilizers. These products are divided into entry-level and professional-level categories. Entry-level stabilizers are designed to provide stable shooting environments for smartphones. Due to the lightweight nature of smartphones and the flexibility of human arms, their gimbal components do not require 360° rotation capability, and thus, they do not need to be equipped with slip rings.

On the other hand, stabilizers equipped with slip rings are primarily used in professional-level setups, where they can accommodate professional DSLR cameras and camcorders. These professional-grade devices are heavier and cannot be held with one hand. In film and video shooting scenarios, precise shooting techniques and framing are crucial. To enhance the maneuverability of the camera equipment, stabilizer manufacturers often install a slip ring between the power compartment and the gimbal motor. This enables the stabilizer to perform infinite rotations, allowing for the creation of impressive and dynamic visual effects.

The same logic applies to aerial photography drone gimbals. In some common aerial photography drones with three-axis gimbals within a certain price range, the integration with the drone body is very compact, leaving limited space to enable unlimited rotation of the camera. As a result, the field of view for aerial photography is confined to a certain range in the direction of flight, necessitating constant adjustment of the drone's orientation to capture a panoramic view. In contrast, professional-grade drones not only use more specialized aerial photography lenses but can also carry small payloads with additional functionalities. To increase flight time and reduce power consumption caused by unnecessary maneuvers, adding a slip ring to the gimbal becomes a cost-effective solution.

Therefore, currently, drones and stabilizers in the market equipped with slip rings are mainly found in professional-grade products. As a slip ring supplier in the consumer electronics industry, JINPAT provides millions of slip rings to this field each year. The company mainly offers the LPMS series of standard slip rings, covering 6 to 12 channels. The JINPAT ultra-miniature slip rings boast characteristics like lightweight, compact size, and exceptional performance, giving them a distinct advantage in this field. In addition to the consumer electronics industry, JINPAT ultra-miniature slip rings are widely used in equipment in various fields, including instrumentation and measurement.
