1. A method for controlling a handheld gimbal, comprising:
step 1): receiving an indication to enter a fast following mode input by a user;
step 2): updating, based on the indication to enter the fast following mode, control parameters of a camera component in one or more directions, the control parameters of the camera component in the one or more directions comprising the maximum following rate and acceleration of the camera component in the one or more directions; and
step 3): controlling, by using the updated control parameters of the camera component in the one or more directions, the rotation of one or more corresponding electric motors in the handheld gimbal, so as to control the movement of the camera component in the one or more directions;
wherein the updating control parameters of a camera component in one or more directions comprises: increasing the maximum following rate of the camera component in each of the one or more directions, and increasing the acceleration of the camera component in each of the one or more directions, and
wherein the updated acceleration of the camera component in each of the one or more directions changes with the angle of rotation of the corresponding electric motor.
