Abstract:
Example moveable mounting structures and methods are described. In one implementation, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a body and a moveable mounting structure coupled to the body. The moveable mounting structure can move between a stowed position and a deployed position without interfering with a payload carried by the UAV. A camera is mounted to the moveable mounting structure.
