Currently, more and more AI pan-tilt heads and intelligent stabilizers use pogo pin (spring loaded pin) contact connections, which are mainly used for quick assembly and disassembly, data transmission, power supply, intelligent control, and other functions. This design is especially common in high-end, modular, and automated equipment.

Advantages of pogo pin contact connections

  1. Smart features rely on high-speed data transmission
  • AI tracking, auto focus, LiDAR ranging, and other features require low-latency communication, and pogo pins are more reliable than traditional cables.
  • For example, the LiDAR module on the DJI Ronin 4D transmits depth data via pogopin.
  1. Modular quick assembly and disassembly
  • Film-grade equipment (such as the Ronin 4D and Inspire 3) requires frequent lens and monitor changes, making pogopin + magnetic attachment the optimal solution.
  1. High-power power supply
  • Some AI gimbals (such as the Zhiyun Crane 4) require 12V/2A+ power supply for their focus motors and video transmission modules, and pogopins are more stable than Micro USB.
  1. Waterproof and dustproof design
  • High-end models (such as the Ronin 4D) have pogo pin interfaces that are sealed (IP54 or higher).
