In Ancient China, the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD) inventor and mechanical engineer Ding Huan created a gimbal incense burner around 180 AD. There is a hint within the writing of the earlier Sima Xiangru (179–117 BC) that the gimbal existed in China since the 2nd century BC.

There are varied uses for a gimbal system. They can be used for something as simple as a coffee cup holder to something as complicated as an array of satellite antennae.
