A stabilization apparatus and a method for controlling stability of a suspended platform are described. System includes pivotally mounted gyro with an axis of rotation substantially orthogonal to the suspended platform's plane and adapted with the use of servos to convert precession of the gyro into a tilt of the platform. Described stabilization apparatus works in combination with the platform's main propulsion system. Apparatus is capable of providing high level stability for pitch, roll and yaw angles. Platform's orientation control can be optimized by changing modes of operation to control at any time any two of three angles defining position of the suspended platform. It would be advantageous to use such stabilized suspended platform as a camera pod and also in the flying models industry. Idea can be accommodated in the personal transportation vehicles, robotic vehicles both in airspace and outer space.
