A carrier for controlling torque delivery to a payload includes a carrier component configured to rotate about a carrier axis, a payload support structure coupled to the carrier component and configured to support the payload, and a rotational device coupled to the payload support structure. The rotational device includes a non-rotating portion directly coupled to the payload support structure and a rotating portion configured to rotate freely to provide a supplemental torque to the payload support structure to compensate for a torque transmission delay from the carrier component to the payload support structure when the carrier component rotates about the carrier axis.
