gyrostabilized
Rotation maintains orientation
Gyrostabilized describes something kept steady by a gyroscope—a spinning device that resists changes in orientation.
Camera mounts, binoculars, and weapon systems use gyrostabilization to counteract movement: The gyrostabilized camera captured smooth footage from the helicopter.
The technology allows precision despite vibration or motion.
