A method for generating panoramic images includes controlling a carrier to rotate an image capturing device around at least a first axis of the carrier, controlling the carrier to stabilize the image capturing device against vibrations or disturbances with respect to a second axis of the carrier or a third axis of the carrier while the image capturing device is rotating around the first axis, causing the image capturing device to capture a plurality of successive images while the image capturing device is rotating around the first axis, and generating a panoramic image by stitching two or more of the plurality of images. The image capturing device is coupled to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via the carrier, and the carrier is coupled to the UAV via one or more damping members configured to reduce motions transmitted to the carrier by the UAV.
