Feiyu AK2000S (Ship to CA ONLY)

It’s amazing product
Thank you

So far I really like all of its features. The only issue I have with it are two problems.
The first is not too bad, which is the start up sequence with my Sony A6400 connected. The only way for the gimbal to recognize the A6400 is to have the camera off first before turning on the gimbal and then turn the camera on
The second issue is with the Function button. After starting gimbal and then camera the shooting mode is Photo. Pressing function button changes to Video. Press the function button again goes back to Photo. However, pressing function again does nothing. No matter how many times I press it, it stays on Photo. The only solution is to turn it off and perform start up steps mentioned in the first issue
These don't stop me from using it, but the second problem (Function button only works twice) is very annoying

FeiyuTech AK2000S 3-Axis USB/Wi-Fi Control Handheld Stabilized Gimbal Mirrorless/DSLR Camera

Zusätzlich bietet es verschiedene Optionen, welche für jeden Video-Filmer interessant sein sollten. Das Gimbal ist absolut hochwertig verarbeitet ohne jegliche Mängel, die Qualität und die Materialien sind absolut hochwertig. Das Holz-Finish am unteren Griff wertet das Ganze optisch noch einmal ordentlich auf. Es liegt sehr gut in der Hand und durch den zusätzlichen Griff in schräger Position lässt sich das Gimbal auch lange mit schwereren Gear gut und angenehm halten. Die Kalbrierung des Gimbals geht recht fix und wenn man es einmal gemacht hat, muss man da auch nicht mehr viel dran ändern, außer man verwendet noch eine andere Kamera mit dem Gimbal. Die Stabilisierung ist hervorragend, hier überzeugt das Gimbal auf ganzer Linie und das ist wohl das entscheidenste. Die Bedienung mit dem Touch Display gefällt mir sehr gut und man fidnet sich sehr schnell zurecht mit all den Einstellungen und Möglichkeiten. Man kann das Gimbal ganz nach seinen Bedürfnissen einstellen. Meine GH5 lässt sich zudem kabellos mit dem Gimbal verbinden, was mir zusätzliche Einstellungen bietet. Die Kamera lässt sich über das Gimbal steuern, an die wichtigsten Funktionen hierbei wurde aus meiner Sicht gedacht. Ein Feature was mir besonders gut gefällt ist die Motion Timelapse Funktion welche in dieser Kombination astrein funktioniert. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Inception Mode des Gimbals, welche ich in dem Video demonstriere. Hier kann man entscheiden in welche Richtung das Gimbal sich drehen soll und ob er sich einmal um 360° dreht oder so lange, bis man es stoppt. Diese Aufnahmen sind sehr interessant und man muss es nicht mehr in der Nachbearbeitung machen wo man sehr nah dran zoomen musste um diesen Effekt anzuwenden. Ein weiterer dicker Pluspunkt ist die lange Akku-Laufzeit und die kurze Ladezeit mit USB 3.0, für mich absolut ausreichend und sehr entscheidend. Unten befindet sich eine 1/4-Zoll-Gewindebohrung und eine 3/8-Zoll-Gewindebohrung welche für verschiedene Stative und Zubehör verwendet werden können, finde ich auch super. Zusätzlich gibt es am schrägen Griff eine 1/4 Gewindebohrung welche beispielsweise dafür genutzt werden kann um das Smartphone oder ein Tablet zu befestigen, welches dann als Display für die Kamera dient. Insgesamt habe ich nichts an dem Gimbal auszusetzen und bin mehr als zufrieden damit.

 Finally decided to try out the AK2000s. Been thinking about trying out smaller gimbals, but that's able to handlethe Sony A7, with GM lenses. Was a little worried, but to my surprise...Here are some upgrades from the AK20001. One of the main reason to upgrade to the AK2000s, because of the extra handle, giving the option of underslung mode. This makes some of the angles much easier to shoot. Also it does feel more stable, when holding the gimbal in underslung mode, since the center of the weight is towards the bottom. Glad Feiyu have added this option to the gimbal.2. Small size, the ak2000s is actually a bit smaller than the original ak2000. in a way it is easier to fit into bags, or take to on the go, or traveling. But still provide a good handle, and grip. and able to handle good amount of load. No problem with my Sony A7III with 16-35mm GM lens.3. Touch screen LCD settings, this is pretty much the same as the AK2000, one of my favorite feature. Makes changing modes, and settings much much easier. The size of the touch screen is decent enough that you can easily read it.4. Wifi control to my A7III. This works perfectly with my Sony A7III camera, able to trigger recording, stop, even have full control of the ISO setting. With no cables needed at all. You just need to set it up once via cell phone App, after that it will auto connect every time when you have the gimbal and the camera on. No cables needed at all!!5. Vortex mode!!! Feiyu have added some new settings to the vortex mode. Which I like it a lot. Most of the gimbals supports vortex/inception mode. Usually you operate it with the thumb control manually. But with this one, there is a auto mode, you can press on how many rotation you want, 1x, or continues, clockwise, or counter clockwise, and the rotation speed, this is amazing!!! all I need to do is hold it still, and walk. and stop the recording when I am done. This feature makes shooting the vortex shots so much easier!! and Fool proof!!!6. Motor locks, this is makes balancing the gimbal much easier, also storing it in a bag.Those are some of the new upgraded functions that I liked. Great gimbal from Feiyu, the only improvements I would like to see in the future is that there is more clearance on the back of the camera, especially for camera with larger lens. I was able to use it with the 16-35mm GM lens, but with very little clearance in the back. Any other smaller lenses has no problem at all, more than enough space to spare.

 I really like this gimbal, perfect electronic stabilizer. I use it with my canon camera, even on professional shoots. The AK2000S has a good anti-shake effect when walking and trotting. The photos and videos taken are great. It is particularly smooth to use. Dream Pirate Space is very powerful. The design of the carrying handle is very fantastic. Works great from all angles. The official website information shows that it is equipped with the industry's flagship high-magnetism high-torque brushless motor and the latest W6 control algorithm, making the angle error less than 0.05 °. This angle error is basically negligible.One of the most obvious advantage of Feiyu stabilizer is that its body is equipped with an LCD touch screen, allowing me to operate directly without other assistance such as Phone APP. Using the LCD touch screen, which can be easily operated without using a mobile phone APP, directly setting most parameters of the stabilizer and some parameters of the camera. If you're working with a small camera and want a 3-axis motorized gimbal, this works great. Easy to balance, and easy to adjust. Battery also has good life. Never had issues with the battery running out on me.Overall，I'm completely satisfied with my purchase.

I’ve become somewhat of a gimbal snob over the years. Started with a gimbal for my gopro and a few iterations of those and then we upped our game to a Mirrorless camera. Was using the G6 plus before as the original AK2000 was too large and heavy for me to travel with. However this new model, the AK2000S has everything I’ve been looking for in an extremely refined package.The styling has been completely redone. The fit and finish is outstanding and the rosewood plates on the side make for a great and secure hand feel. The size is now smaller and yet it feels sturdier. The update now has gotten rid of the removal battery and I think that’s a good thing. I tested it for a long time and didn’t run out of juice or even come close. All the axis positions lock now physically so the gimbal won’t wobble when not in use. Balancing is a breeze with the markers on every positions d the locking screws are very nice and snug.The biggest thing that surprised me was the strength and quietness of the updated motors. In previous gimbals I have experienced a slight hum and if you use a camera with an articulating screen may have balancing problems. I didn’t experience anything like that and it was so silent I didn’t think it was on.The new touch screen is very easy to use and inception mode is incredibly easy to access. The time lapse feature is also very easy to use and access. I’ve been using this now with my Canon M50 sleuth both the stock lens and telephoto lens.In the box it comes with a high quality tripod, every single possible cable you could imagine. Lastly the addition of the extra handle makes using this gimbal a breeze! Add the great case that comes with it and you’ll be all set. This is now my favorite and go to gimbal. Any vlogger or videographer will not be disappointed with this tool.
