Canon may be preparing to enter the pocket gimbal camera segment, based on a newly published patent that outlines a compact, stabilized handheld device aimed at content creators. The patent describes a compact camera with an integrated three-axis gimbal, a fixed lens, and a built-in screen housed within a handheld grip. A folding mechanism allows the gimbal to retract safely when not in use, helping protect internal components. Instead of simply cutting power, the camera would guide the gimbal into a safe resting position using sensors and image detection before turning off. Canon has reportedly filed multiple patents related to gimbal cameras over the past few years, with designs gradually shifting from experimental concepts to more practical, consumer-ready ideas.
