TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a pan tilt device with a detachable camera.

BACKGROUND

At present, there are some pan tile devices used to place a mobile phone/camera/fill light. The pan tile is provided with a camera, and the pan tile tracks a target object through the camera. When the camera faces forward and the target object is detected to move left, right, up, or down, in order to track the target object, the pan tile needs to drive the corresponding mobile phone/camera/fill light to turn left, right, up or down, when the camera faces backward and the target object is detected to move left, right, up, or down, in order to track the target object, the pan tile needs to drive the corresponding mobile phone/camera/fill light and camera to turn right, left, up, or down accordingly. During the above process, the camera itself and/or the pan tilt body cannot determine whether the camera is a forward or backward installation state relative to the pan tilt body through images. Existing technology requires manual setting of whether the current camera is in a forward or backward installation state relative to the pan tilt body.
