- Looking for a sub $1000 gimbal for your mirrorless or smaller DSLR camera? There are a number of options in this space but is the Feiyu A2000 dual handle bar kit worth considering? It's definitely got its pluses and minuses that you should consider before you buy one for yourself
You find the Feiyu A2000 dual handlebar kit on Amazon:

Feiyu updated their firmware so now it supports a locked mode without needing to hold down the trigger, they also added support for a panasonic shutter cable. I bought mine here bit.ly/2kzvGg0 Clicking the shutter button will focus and release the shutter all in one click, so you can't do them in separate actions.
I am more interested in the focussing control for Panasonic GH camera's. The reason why 1 handed gimbals did hold me off buying is the vertical movement you see more with 1 handed gimbals it seems than 2 handed gimbals. I own a DJI Ronin myself but I am looking for a lighter gimbal as well (the DJI Ronin is great but very heavy, which also helps against vertical movement while walking, but it's too bulky sometimes).
Great video, David. I'm happy to hear about the Panasonic update. Does it control Start/Stop in video mode? Also, would you consider doing a video about updating the firmware?
David Zhang ...How do you engage lock now with new version firmware. I did it once but don't remember how.
Thanks...
Great Vid Dude, could u check out my upcoming post, i think ill use a little clip from ur vid 0:02 - 0:05 in my if thats alright? I'll put you on the links in my description, later on. Im looking forward to ur reply.
i did press mode 1 time and it lock .
The mirror shots are messing with my head. Haha. Great video, David.
lol. Thanks
I bought one of these in Jan 2019. Today was the first time I ever used the dual handle. I now have some gear that I can attach to the handles ... an external audio recorder and shotgun mic and a larger monitor. It works good and gives me another shooting option. I always use the same camera and lens set so balancing wasn't an issue. I did set it up with an arca swiss style quick release, It's been used a lot and still works ok. I probably still would have bought it, if I had seen your review when it first came out. I got the single handle price and the store threw in the full kit for all the same price. Was a very good deal.
I've got this one and the SPG FT gimbals. The ergonomics aren't an issue for me. The BIG NEGATIVE, is no lock mode control other than the trigger. If I want to use the gimbal in lock mode on a monopod, its impossible without using the app. That is very inconvenient if you are a 1-man crew. Very good and thorough review. Keep up the good work.
I know this video is 4 years old, and I not sure if someone else found this out but if you Press the Mode button once it locks the orientation (kind of like using the trigger button) and you can unlock it by pressing the Mode button again
Would you recommend this for 180€? I'm looking into buying one of these: G6 Max, AK2000, A2000. The A2000 really looks promising for the price (about the same as for the others). I want to pair it with a Sony A6400.
I found your channel and subscribed. Dig it. The gimbal and the tech inside makes this a must have for smaller cameras. Between this one and the Moza Air, you would have all of your gimbal bases covered. I love the Moza, specifically for the weight/payload and simplicity. I also have budget constraints.
I am an old fan of Feiyu tech. His new AK series is also very good, and I look forward to doing new product evaluation.
Wish they had put a port to power your camera like Smooth-Q...other than that...greateat unit.
By far the best demo video I have seen. Straight to the point and everything is covered. I've sent this link to my clients...I don't do that lightly.
Glad to hear they updated LOCK mode.
Nice job dude...yes I'm from Southern Cali...film on.
dont have dslr but found this review nice to watch anyway. keep up good work!!!
i just bought the feiyutech a2000... its awesome
Great video bro very thorough. Have a great day
Thanks Bob!
Thank you David for being so clear in your review. Did you have the chance to try the new DJI Ronin-S? Is the a2000 any lighter?
NIce review! Thanks for your honesty on this. Overall, I'd say it looks highly useful and the auto-track (auto-panning) is really cool. Agree w/ Mr. Davis - those mirror shots are wild!
Got it on B&H for 269 with the dual handlebars. They've been releasing lots of firmware updates too. Hopefully its not too bad. Worst case I just return it since they extended returns for the holidays.
You say the only way to enable the locked mode is by holding down the trigger button. But you can also press the mode button quickly four times to toggle it on. I agree with the other critique points. What I found helps with the stickiness of the roll axis balance adjustment is to put some "upwards force" on that part of the arm to counter the weight of the camera since otherwise the rather large leverage of the cameras weight on that dovetail still produces a lot of friction.
I thought pressing the mode button four times puts it into timelaspe mode. So it doesn't do exactly what I need out of a locked mode, and the joystick doesn't work in the mode either. Yeah thanks for the tip on the arm.
So pressing it four times puts it into lock mode actually? Since I actually saw the manual saying that four times is for autorotation / i.e., timelapse mode...
2:24 was super trippy
Great review and quite informative. Thanks! I have a question if I may:
I just received my A 2000 single grip. Is the duel grip also sold separately? I might want to upgrade.
Thanks Again!
Edward
Your voice is really Superb
Excellent review man! thanks.
this or the crane 2?
Awesome video now I decided to buy 1 many thanks
Nice review. Really appreciate that
HI, nice video! Thanks for that. Did you notice any trouble with noise coming from the motor? I have one gimbal for my GoPro and it is loud as f*** ... But here it looks and sounds to be no problem(?).
Thanks for a short comment.
I'd be interested in on what you shot the sequences in which one could see your camera, because those obviously weren't shot on that but still look pretty good.
I used my OnePlus5 to film the shots where I couldn't use my G7 camera (since it was on the gimbal).
Can i use it for my panasonic lumix gh 4?
Hey David, is this compatible with Canon M100? Your response is highly appreciated. Thanks.
Great video, thanks
Hey David! Awesome video, I just bought the dual handle kit. I'm having trouble with getting smooth shots, especially when I walk or follow behind someone while recording them walking! I'm using the trigger button & that's helped a little bit. Any tips on how to get smoother, more cinematic shots with the dual handle kit? Thanks!
Great review!
Awesome video! Does anyone know if this gimbal is compatible with a Canon EOS R50? I can’t seem to make sense of the compatibility thing on their website. Thanks!
Awesome Keep it up bro..💛💛💛💛
Sir, so to just follows the lock mode whill walking, or perhaps call it pan follow mode, the trigger mode most then constantly hold with the finger? I'm searching an modular short constructed as the gimbal you presented on the handlebar. Meaning I will added the gimbal to the selfmade rigg. Therefor the hight of the gimball is importent an dmost be short so it can added comfortable on the rigg, in case there most constantly holding the finger on the joystick button to follow the object, that is really to avoid. Any idea for an other something equal? Note, my camcorder weight 300 gram, is really difficult to find an compatible Gimbal. The camera is: Panasonic HDC-SD90 but I look to order soon the RX100 M7 from Sony. This cam is also light, 500 gram. Thanks for the attention.
is it possible to make it go vertical?
great review
Awesome video! What’s on the end of your lense??
Great video! Thanks!
Can you please Answer me ..
It's this Gimbal working with Canon 70D
very very nice review thank u
Pretty neat.
Great Gimbal!
5:10 lol ...4 times mode and u lock
is 70D cannon will go on this? thank you
Why does this Gimbal struggle with heavy lenses? or it just mine?
Is it possible to use dual handle version as single handle witout buying any additional stuff?
There are two kits, single and dual handle, you can use generic dual handle but you won't have any controls, maybe with phone app but there are no single screen for all functions so there is little use ... so you have to pay extra 200$ for handles.
nice video thnx mate!
What about recording button and cable
Can you also use this on the AK2000?
*Se a finalidade é não tremer, tremeu!!!*
great video
Thanks!
Can you use a BMPCC4K with this?
i watched 0:17 over and over again... thats sorcery right there
Where is it available to have one and how much is it?
Do you like the Moza Air better?
What DSLR are you using? i'm using the 80D and it shakes all over the place.. not smooth at all.
Is the Feiyu a2000 compatible with the Canon 6D 24-70mm?
very nice gimbal!
Hello What is the application to work with Timelapses?
Im new user and i dont balance my camera on gimbal properly how can i do??
This...or the weebill??
amico, i tuoi video sono bellissimi!
friend, your videos are beautiful!
Nice vid
Thank you for your kind video. Does this model have zoom function?
I don't think so :-( ! since all paid/benefited reviewers ignored this question as well as FeiyuTech themselves.. seems like they doing massive campaign for this gimbals. Anyways I've ordered one single hand kit for 499$ with coupon and I will update you in 2-3 weeks.
@@testittestit4869 where's the update : (
is there support for canon cameras?
:'O i want to put one of these on a shoulder rig
Do you have the links to the lens and filters you used at 2:58 ? Thanks
Can it be used for the "Canon 700d"?
What frame rate do you record your video with on your g7?
I usually record at 30fps
David Zhang in 1080p?
Nice
Found one for 39$ hope it’s good
Hey David, what lens hood is this?
Is this support to canon camera
Damn! I can't find it here in Philippines.
How do you start stop recording?
Kleenex next to the bed :thinking:
Shout out from India
Thanks!
I was about to buy this gimbal, but then I read a comment saying it doesn't work with a Canon 1DX because the camera is too high. So I guess it wouldn't work with mine either, as it is a Sony Z90 camcorder, which is only 1.3Kg but almost 20cm long from lens to eyecup. :/ Has anyone tried this gimbal with a handycam?
How come no one ever review the a1000 I am looking at that one switching from zhiyun crane M
i just the a1000 dual handle and im using a sony a6000 and it works perfectly, the main difference is the a2000 can hold up to cameras around 4 pounds other then that they are pretty much the same.
nice
what is a phone app name
Do you think it could handle a Sony a7sII + 24-70 f2,8 GM ?
Thats my issue too, it cant. i bought it and almost regretting...
Can’t pick up the Bluetooth on my device and my handle grip spins. Anyone else ?
Typical Feiyu product. Seems really good at face value, then the more you use it, the more annoyances you find. Constantly questioning some of the design decisions they made in key areas. Also their customer support is pretty bad, and firmware updates are a joke. I always look for alternatives when I see a new Feiyu gimbal on the market.
Yeah. I am a little disappointed with the product overall. But hopefully the video was helpful for anyone considering the gimbal
satay71 and wich gimbal do you recommend?
The best gimbal you can get (except shotover)is custom build gimbal using Storm32 NT or Alexmos systems but it is not so compact and easy to build. The final result well worth it.
What disappoints you the most?
Panning is not smooth, and they said that is normal!? czcams.com/video/fqg--ICb8Po/video.html
Hwo mach. Pric??
Nice video..if you visit be prepared to be going barefoot in Hawaii when you can visit lol and I get to show you around
Does this gimball work with camcorders or just DSLR cameras? On their website the specs mentions camcorders, but i cant seem to find any videos of a camcorder being used with this product. Please clarify for me.
I am using a Sony HXR-NX100.
Do you know if this item is compatible?
2 239,99$CAD the DJI Ronin is cheaper -.-
I got the a1000 and when I use my G7 with a 25 mm lens, it doesn't have Optical stabilization, my footage ends up having jitters/shaky footage. but when I have a kit lens or lens with Optical stabilization it doesn't have that problem. this is what it was doing czcams.com/video/u4JnSpoNl1o/video.html
Hunh?
Ruppes ketna bolo
Great video,we have a new Feiyu Gimbal,would you like to try it out? Best.
