Toy gyroscope... Insufficient rotational inertia to stabilize grasshopper,
let alone a lens. A gyroscope with sufficient rotational inertia to
stabilize a lens (and attached camera) would be very, very difficult to
point. I would think a system for stabilizing a lens would incorporate a
small rate integrating gyro (a lot of precision and electronics) . Precision
servo control of one or a few small elements would be required. This is just
a guess, I haven't actually looked at any of the patents, but I will.
