gyroscopically
Via spinning stabilization
In a manner relating to or using a gyroscope—a device that maintains orientation through spinning motion.
Gyroscopically stabilized systems resist changes in direction: The camera was gyroscopically stabilized to eliminate shake.
The term appears in discussions of navigation, aviation, and precision equipment.
