I appreciate the review! I’m thinking of investing in my first gimbal, and this looks like a good option. Small and simple (but good) are key for me. Thanks, Arthur!
Ordered one after watching this video. Thank you for the review!
I’ve been looking at gimbals for months now and this solidified my choice. So happy to support such an awesome company as well.
Thanks Arthur....this was exactly the setup i was looking for.... i went ahead and supported their kickstarter campaign
have you got your shipping number yet?
Im still waiting for mine.
Did you get yours?
Thanks for your detailed reviews about this new 4-in-1 gimbal. It's competative in price and functions. I'm the beginner to learn the filmmaking, and I think it's very suitable for me. 😃😃
Thanks for the heads up. Bought!
Amazing video thank you so much
This Nikon fanboy who owns the A6100 for a couple of years and bought the ZV-E10. Good camera but the HDMI port failed after the 4th day. Everything works great. I did own the ZV1 bought gave it to a friend. Bought the A7c and I love it. I have the 28-60mm kit lens and bought three more. Pancake lenses= Sony 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.8 and the 85mm f/1.8. I like the small size of the camera and the portability. Been car vlogging and have use all FE lenses. Stay Safe and Keep Smiling! Cheers!
That's definitely tempting with full frame and larger lens support
There are definitely lots of low cost options for gimbals on the market these days. Thanks for the review
Great review! I have the scorp pro and I love it! My question for you is. what are the best settings on the scorp pro to really get smooth and not so jumpy footage? Can you make a video on that?
Great review!
Thanks for the review always good to learn about new products you probably won't find yourself :-)
Thanks for the advice
The packaging is tight and delicate, very light, easy to store, fold up and put in the bag easily.
It is a powerful device that can support a variety of models, usually I use my own microphone and mobile phone shooting,it can meet the value and quality of goods are very high recommended, you can rest assured to buy.
Amazing smart video!
I always enjoy watching your gimbal reviews especially because I use Sony apsc cameras too. I need to get me a wife like yours that lets me chase her around with a gimbal haha good job man!
Thanks for the video. Will be nice to see a comparison between M3 and the scorp mini with a6600 ibis and any lens oss turned off
Wow I definitely dig that!
Did you have IBIS turned on during your tests with the A6600? Great review and compelling option at that low introductory price.
Hi Arthur, very nice vid!
Can you please tell me if the control wheel can be used to switch lenses on iPhone 13 pro while recording, or, btw, if this gimbal offers any way to achieve this goal while recording?
Thanks Arthur! I just backed them on kickstarter… Only 3 more of the super early bird specials left folks!
That went quick!
have you got your shipping number yet?
@@yaot.1523 nope
Nice small option ☺️
I had no idea Arthur painted his nails blue 🤪 Stylish
lol
Dziękuję za wspaniałą pracę pobudzającą moje zainteresowanie fotografią.
I thought now your painting your finger nails 😮🥴😀, as always lots of valuable info and awesome review 👍🙏
Hi,
That's a great review, many thanks for it.
Do you know if it will work with a Sony A7IV, which is missing from the compatibility list.
Great video. The baby stole the show!!
This seems like a great option! I use a Sony ZV-E10 and I bought a used DJI Ronin-SC and feel that I got a lot of value for a great price (around $230). I shoot a good amount of content that gets uploaded to social media so having the portrait mode on that gimbal is really nice. I've tried to buy an L-bracket and balance my ZV-E10 with a sigma 30mm lens on the Zhiyun crane gimbal and it just quite wouldn't do the trick due to the weight distributing awkwardly.
Will the ronin fit in a backpack purse?
@@naomishindou7197 The Ronin S is a maybe but the Ronin SC most likely would depending on the size.
Sold me. Just pledged. Can't wait!
Good opening 😂💪👏
Thanks Arthur! which Gimbal cAn i use that will allow me to hold my camera vertically to do Panoramas in single shots that can be joined in post or in camera? #2. Which Sony ASPC Or Full frame can do panoramics in camera??
Thanks, i love your channel!!!!
I was really impressed w the running footage. what was your shutter speed set at?
Great review. Do you think this gimble would work controlling a Panasonic HC-VXF990 Camcorder?
FINALLY!
M3 has portrait mode. Plus it’s easy to use. That’s what sold it for me
I could get the Scorp Mini and Scorp C currently for about the same price, one is second hand. I love the lightness of the Mini and don't need the payload of the C. Is there anything on the C that's so much better/useful than the Mini? Thanks for your answer.
Will we see a video of the scorp c and scorp pro ??
Can you use balance a camera in vertical mode with the Scorp mini?
Can you do a review of the Weebill S in 2022 as its one of the few gimbals with removable batteries thats still used a lot
Tx arthur, is it possible to do a 360 long exposure with gray filter? how does the 360 works? do you set the time betwee shots and for exampe 5 min fo a long exposure and than the next photo or is it automatic the timin'? tx, -Max
I’m curious….did you not add the DJI ronin RS2 or RS2C because you didn’t want to or because they are inherently the better choice (maybe not price wise)
Thank you Arthur I backed it early bird special I would have never paid retail price so it works out for me $200 is a deal
have you got your shipping number yet?
@@yaot.1523 YES but it's coming on a slow boat from China so who knows when it's going to get here
@@Ewilson2009 mine is mid 200, still no shipping number yet.
HI Eric.....
Im still waiting for mine!!
How about you?
Been waiting on a FedEx delivery for a week now
Hi, how would you see the mini working with the sony ZV-1 and its screen folding out to the left?
@Artur R one question does this gimbal has face auto-tracking like the rs2
/
Is it possible to add a side bracket for an Atmos ninja V? ⚡
Did you play with the panorama or grid shooting? I'm getting very inconsistent behaviors with my A6600 ... often times it'll just take the first one or two photos, but continue to go through the rest of the motions. I'm also getting a lot of errors that say "Check device"
*"no wireless charging not interested at any price even free."* that's how life changing the iWatch/ Samsung Watch is.
I for the first time can now understand how to do cinematic grade film work using nothing more than a cell phone now as before I had the wireless watch I had no way to properly *"see"/present* a scene.
Will this hold a blackmagic pocket 6k and a medium/small lens?
Can the built in wheel be used for focusing?
On the app when you use the function to set different positions, can you also set the gimbal so it changes focus using the focus wheel? Would be awesome for b-roll using manual lenses.
U are asking too much
Like we all do
Would the Scorp Mini work with the A7c and the Sigma 28-70 contemporary?
Hi, I just got my Feiyu Scorp Mini today. I wanted to ask how you know your gimbal is charging? Is the a light indicator? When I plugged into the charging port, I don't see any indicator that I'm charging.
Interesting. Is this compatible with a Panasonic GH5 ? (GH4 and GH5s are listed in the kickstarter compatibility file), but nobody can apparently confirm for a GH5...
I wanted a gimbal for 3 years now. But im a single father of a little girl and just cant seem to afford it. Love that M3. Keep the great videos coming..been a fan of the channel for years now
she can go a week without eating. kids are tough
@@flipnap2112 😂
In your opinion, I'm starting out with a Samsung s22 ultra , do you think it will interact sufficient with this phone and will it come with any apps to download?
Can I use this with an external monitor attached to the left side? Or will that be in the way?
I hope they let you review the Scorp C.
up
Arthur, for these pieces of tech that are clearly made for right handed people can you also include a small part in your reviews saying how usable might be for left handed people? Try using it, the buttons and so on with your left hand.
Does this switch to vertical shooting mode with having to remove the camera from the gimbal?
Do u tihnk it will support new sony G lens 20-70mm ?
is there a tech support line for these? Mine won't charge past 35%
You mentioned the scorp mini supports large cameras. Does that imply it'll work with Sony a7iv (with 20mm prime) or is that combo too big?
Yes that will work. Anything under 2.64lbs will be fine.
pls review scorp-c with this mini
Arthur
Its calibration is better than the scorp C?
How this hold up with fujifilm xt4 16-55 lens?
Love the natural bokeh when following your wife running. 👍😎
Can it support body + monitor?
Great review!!
Can it handle sony a6400 with 18-105mm F4 G lens, too?
need answer for this
Which one is better this or the RS3 mini?
Which is better this Scorp mini or Scorp C? Please advise
can u use it with a7s3 ?
Can you do a long term review of wife? I see you use her a lot but can’t find any review anywhere. I’m still In doubt wether I need a wife or not for my photography career.
This. I’ve tried researching extensively but not many people have reviewed their spouse. Not sure if this is a wise decision or not. Subscribed in anticipation of Wife Review.
Hahhaa
😂🤣 oh this is hand's down the best COMMENT OF THE DAY
Unless you're very lucky, you don't need one.
😂😂😂😂
Does it have Bluetooth? Like if I wanna hit "record" on the Gimbal button instead of the camera's button, without using a cable, would I be able to?
how good is this with Android phones please? does it have a Vertical shooting mode for Insta or equivalents?
how long does it take to deliver? im a little skeptical about the website and also the other comments make it seem like they take so long to confirm tracking number and delivery.
Getting the mini to balance is a challenge, its my first one. the camera i am using is Canon R6 with an adapter and a EF35 lens. any advise on how to balance it
so did you buy it ? if yes than do share your experience , is it hard to balance as they say ?
What about mobile app ? How much is it advanced ? 24 frames ? 2.39:1 ? Cinema settings ?
Cannot find where on the page to order the gimbal
I've watched your review, (and several others) and I did order the gimbal on Kickstarter. It took almost three months to get it. I noticed in the review that you are not connected to the camera with any cables. I find that none of the supplied cables are capable of properly connecting with my A7c with out an error message, do you see that too? I contacted Feiyu-Tech about it but have not heard back from them. On the positive side, it did balance with my Tamron 20-40, and the Sigma 28-70 contemporary.
Thanks
I'm new to gimbls. I have Gopro 4 and 7 and a Canon M50. which gimbal is suitable.
Awesome 👍....Your new subscriber here..a Tibetan youtuber (vlogger) keep creating
what do the deadzone settings mean ?
Can it hold a6400 with Tamron 17-70mm???
I see that Feiyu Has the FeiyuTech Scorp C? Would the main differences be that its load capacity possibly the build quality? I'm kind considering it over the Mini what are your thoughts about the C version?
yes this is more geared to APSC cameras and not really full frame. this should handle any APSC camera/lens setup. While this could only really handle a few full frame combinations. For example a full frame with an 85mm lens would probably exceed the 1200g weight limit on the scorp mini and not be able to balance it.
Can someone help? I have a 6400 and sigma 16mm f1.4.. but it cant do vortex mode when I'm holding it the torch orientation. The motors just go to sleep mode. The payload is suppised to be 1200g.. my setup is only 809 grams.
Will this handle A7IV with the Sigma 85 1.4?
combined weight withought any accessories on this setup is 1288grams and the max this gimbal supports is 1200grams. it will most likley have issues balancing this setup. i went with the Scorp C.
It is 265 and will handle any Full Frame setup.
Just backed this Kickstarted too. Lets see if its goal is reached.
have you got your shipping number yet?
@@yaot.1523 Yes, three weeks ago. But seems shipping taking a long time coming.
Just received my gimble today after 4 months of waiting
I heard balancing camera on scorp mini is tiring ? is it ? i also heard it loses the balance at times .
Hey everyone, is anyone else having this issue? With my A6600 plugged into this gimbal I get a "Check the connected Device" stuck on my lcd and therefore cant use my screen? Is there an easy fix to this? Thanks :)
I like the best
Looks good but still not enough to replace my Ronin SC. I need to hold an a7iv in a cage with the sony 16-55 f2.8 APS-C, and a focus motor to zoom with the lens and a mic on top, hold it stable even on 16mm and 55mm, when balanced to the middle (aprox 35mm)
I have found no worthy replacement for my Ronin SC for a reasonable price and reasonably compact size.
Hopefully one day ....
How does it compare to the Scorp C
lovely wife, nice nails color but bad nails job done LOL. Just because of your preview, i have Kickstarter it!! hope it holds my A7c & Sigma 28-70, if not then Samyang 24mm.
Anyone bought it directly from the website? Perhaps even from the UK? Their website says they have stock available here so low delivery times. Does that align with anyone else’s experience?
Zhiyun Crane M3 weighs 735g with a battery, where did you get the weight of 912g from ??
It's actually closer to the M3 weight at 787g according to the tech specs page - www.feiyu-tech.com/feiyu-scorp-mini/specs.html
It supports Arca Swiss while M3 does not! I have M3 and I really wish it had Arca Swiss support :(
I would like to let you know that Feiyu-tech used all the backers through Kickstarter as an interest-free loan bank. They are slowly fulfilling orders and shipping via boat to all their backers while selling the product on Amazon cheaper and with faster shipping than to their backers. Most backers are reporting that they have not received tracking confirmation and, if they have, it is at least a month out. I feel they used the Kickstarter money to build the product to sell to Amazon without thought of their backers. In the future, I ask that you not consider making a video about Kickstarter products or at least let people know that it is recommended to wait until it is commercially available.
+1
How does this compare to the Crane M3 in actual use? I've run into issues where the Crane M3 has trouble with underslung shots and some odd motor angles, and sometimes it will randomly vibrate like crazy, go into sleep mode, and shut the motors off while the gimbal still remains on. Also the lock on the pitch axis is absolute shit lol.
You probably aren’t balanced
@@Chris-ey7zy this happens AFTER rebalancing and recalibrating. It's so annoying.
@@spdcrzy so far so good for me. I might want to try a reset for that gimbal. Do you touch screen balance to see if it is balanced? I had hard time with gimbals when I first buy mine. Is your lens a zoom ?
@@Chris-ey7zy yeah, I use a Sigma 18-50 on mine. And on top of that, the screen itself has come unstuck from the housing. I don't know if it was adhesive or whatever that was keeping it in place but the top half of the screen assembly keeps popping out at an angle. >.
What about feiyutech g6 max
I got Feiyutech AK2000. The hardware is nice, but software is horrible. My first software update bricked the gimbal. I had to send it to China to fix it. When I got it back I tried to update the software it froze.
I wouldn't recommend it, unless they improve their software.
