1. A multi-axis camera stabilization system, which ensures that a camera remains stable while camera recording by a visual-inertial odometry method, the system comprising:
at least one arm that enables an operator to hold the camera,
at least one mobile device located on the at least one arm,
a mobile device software that visually analyzes images taken from the at least one mobile device, which enables determining a position of a part via which the operator holds the at least one arm, a direction the part moves, and an amount of movement with visual-inertial odometry, by comparing the movement direction and amount data received from the at least one mobile device,
at least one motor that enables the at least one arm, and thus the camera, to move in at least one axis with which the at least one arm is associated,
at least one motor controller that enables the at least one motor to be controlled according to the position and movement information received from the mobile device software,
motor control software, which enables the arm to move in the opposite direction of the incoming movement information by scaling the movement information received from the mobile device according to the length of the arm and determining the angle of movement of the motor,
at least one connecting rod-crank mechanism, which provides transfer of movement between the at least one arm and the at least one motor, and
at least one communication module that enables information to be exchanged between the at least one mobile device and the at least one motor controller over a communication protocol.
