1. A gimbal comprising:
an axis structure including:
a rotating member including a rotor of a motor or a member fixedly connected to a rotor;
a bearing member rotatably connected to the rotating member and including a stator of the motor or a member fixedly connected to a stator; and
a locking structure including a positioning snap member movably provided on one of the rotating member and the bearing member and configured to engage with another one of the rotating member and the bearing member,
wherein the axis structure is a yaw-axis structure, a roll-axis structure or a pitch-axis structure, and the motor is configured to control a movement about a pitch axis, a movement about a yaw axis, or a movement about a roll axis, a rotational position of the rotating member relative to the bearing member being locked by the locking structure when the rotating member rotates to a preset position.
