A Steal OR a waste of time?? | Feiyutech AK2000 Review & Test Footage

[@dhinas9444]

Thanks, its nice to also hear about the downsides of the gimbal!!

[@theTechNotice]

You're welcome :)

[@suncworm]

bro thank you for a 30 sec intro. I'm so sick of videos where I'm looking to answer one question but they take three minutes just to begin the video

[@CasPhoto]

me too, that's why I don't use intros.

[@leamas1820]

I bought a kit with follow focus2 for a good price. I didn't have a chance to use it because i was injured 2-3hrs later the same day it was delivered to me. I did try some cameras on it though. I was able to balance Lumix G7&14-140lens, Nikon D500&50mm lens and Sony HXR-NX70 camcorder. I haven't experienced any vibrations though camcorder can't move fully i tilt axis (no torch mode with camcorder) but i'm impressed that I can use camcorder at all. I realise that it's not the best gimball but it's good enough for me and in good price. When my shoulder will be fully functional I'll check follow focus and I'll also check for jerking in pan axis.

[@theTechNotice]

Thanks for sharing your experience! :)

[@dang.s]

Oh that V sign. LOL Thanks for your honest review. That was helpful.

[@theTechNotice]

Any time!

[@HyperspeedMedia]

I had all the AK gimbal, AK2000 , ak4000 and the AK4500. They are not smooth like DJI. The glitch happen all the time while panning

[@theTechNotice]

Thanks for the addition!

[@GeraldBertramPhotography]

Note sure why you are getting those little jumps/glitches when moving around but I do not have that problem on my AK2000. Often my camera may not be perfectly balanced and I don't have any of the jitters you are talking about. I've only had that happen when my payload setting was not set correctly. I use both a light GH4 and my heavier A7II. Appreciate the video! Just wanted to provide another viewpoint. Thanks!!

[@theTechNotice]

Yeah, I'm not sure either, and that one time it went completely weird and jumped all over, I updated to the latest firmware as well. Thanks for sharing your point of view as well, very interesting and helpful for the viewers!:)

[@MrLiushen]

Sigma 35 1.4 is quite long and heavy. Mine also performs like this. Jumps and Tilts. I am gonna sell it.

[@nnappychin]

Ramble On. Good Sides, Bad Sides. Good ole Tech Zeppelin🤙

[@acksonmunthali593]

I think Feiyu gimbals has a problem with vibrations and glitches, i have a2000 but though it was still new, no matter how much perfect i tried to balance, i still struggled with vibrations and glitches at some points

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

I have the A1000, and even though it has less weight capacity and it works with smaller setups, the performance seems to be more reliable than this bigger gimbal. Did you try the same shots with a smaller combo?

[@iammz81]

If you do paid work and you know/understand the Gimbal perfectly, why you could not make professional video with it? E.g.: for a videoclip you do not need to shoot long sequences and also you can edit out the glitches. If you are paid that is not a work what lasts for 2 minutes and you need perfect shots everytime.

[@christophersmith-zn2kn]

No matter how I walk I still can't got smooth footage. Any ideas please anyone.

[@yoshimura3236]

hi how can I reset the gimbal or something if I get a new lens that is harder and has to calibrate the gimbal again

[@theTechNotice]

you don't need to reset the gimbal, you need to rebalance the gimbal :)

[@JLCoifman]

yo tengo el feijutech g6 plus y tiene los mismos problemas, por momentos hace unas sacudidas hacia los lados inclusive estando perfectamente balanceado, gracias

[@edudaso]

Cuál me recomendarías comprar?

[@VaibhavJainfollowers]

Please make a video on how gou edit your videos, what effect you use. Also would love to see a setup tour. Great video as always 👊🏻

[@theTechNotice]

thanks for the comment! I'll add it to my video list ;) Always great to hear from the subs!

[@christophersmith-zn2kn]

Looks like the cinema in Middlesbrough.

[@raiken_au]

Thanks for the review!

[@auris1086]

Easy to assemble,fun to use

[@MarcosEatsTacos]

Would this work using a Sony A6100 with a 17-70mm lens by tamron??

[@theTechNotice]

Yes!

[@ChrisOsbyrne]

Is it worth upgrading from the a2000? Previous model from Feiyutech.

[@theTechNotice]

I'm not sure coz I haven't tried the 2000 model...

[@chrisbennett814]

Those trousers are stylish.

😄 not quite haha

[@Smokeiescall]

First time hearing those type of issues from this gimbal

[@theTechNotice]

Hmmm.... 🤔

[@Smokeiescall]

Tech Notice Lol my exact thoughts. I just received mine yesterday and I haven’t got to use it yet.

[@ricci3950]

@@Smokeiescall is it good? Like is it worth it?

Great Video man. I bought the AK2000 for my Sony Alpha 6000 - now I got problems balancing the pan axis. Even with my travel zoom Tamron 18-200mm its not heavy enough. I think due to that I have very bad vibrations if I hold the Gimbal very low and also move from side to side. Do you have any tipps on how to handle that? Counterweights? If yes, which kind of? Thanks a lot in advance!!!

[@RunNGunPhoto]

Seems to be a common issue. I don't think this one is worth it.

[@chancetakersent1870]

What app is that

[@mgphotographyuk]

Very helpful video. Helped me decide what gimbal to get. Thanks, dude 👍

[@theTechNotice]

Glad I could help! 👍

[@Tswizzy]

What gimbal did you use ?

[@TzouPhotography]

Whats do u mean Follow mode is on???? I have the same gimbal never seen it

[@RyanMatta]

Great Video my friend! Really great review and feedback.

[@theTechNotice]

👍

[@jakewest8816]

I was about to buy their updated model of this gimbal AK2000c, but now I'm not so sure.....it's hard to find reviews which mentions negatives of the new model like you did here and it's really suspicious, but found a review of the new version mentioning some delays when panning. I bought steadicam, but it's quite heavy for one hand, so that's why I am considering gimbal.. maybe I'll rather buy cheaper steadicam vest.

[@LalondeFilms]

I have a Sony A73 and I couldn't for the life of me to get it to work properly balanced. Also everytime I'd move forward the gimbal would sway away.

[@anggasofficial7699]

What is color grading you use ? I like it

[@عبدالمجيدالمخلافي-س7خ]

So Ak 2000 Good or bad ?

[@doblebo]

Hey can you review the ak2000s? Wouldnt be surprised if they give you one for free.

[@VisualArtistmedia]

Thanks

[@norgerichard]

Nide to hear the downside

[@Foto-fi9gz]

How do you recharge the battery ?

[@daithiod]

Thanks for the wonderful video, useful tips, and criticisms (the vibrations for 5s which last forever!) They all helped me better understand the use of this equipment. In exchange for a carry case, I have two old soccer socks that serve as a carrier! Which brings me to my last point: I could have sworn you were the Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the first few seconds of this video!!! Sorry if that offends.

[@theTechNotice]

LOL so many people have said that! Haha

[@TechsReview]

Hello there, I'm going to buy this one, but this is the first video I found a lot of bad things about this Gimbal. Do you have any recommendation for another Gimbal at same price? In my country, I got other options: Moza AirCross, Zhiyun Crane Plus, Zhiyun Weebill Lab (About $50 USD higher)...

[@theTechNotice]

Hey there, I know what you mean, researching the internet I didn't find many reviews talking about these sides of the gimbal, but you've got to know I really wanted to make this gimbal work and tried my best to do it... But recommendations for the same price.... hmm... it's hard, depends what cam you're shooting... maybe Ronin SC ?

[@TechsReview]

@@theTechNotice Ronin SC is way out of my budget, it's more $100 USD than AK2000 here...

[@fenf777]

I thought you're Arturo Castro lel

[@theTechNotice]

😂

[@oneframeoff]

I agree. I have probably a first release. I'm experiencing some vibrations on the gimbal and weird jerk movements when tilting it side to side. It's a nice beginner gimbal, but definitely can't recommend it for paid work. Also the battery compartment hinge broke on me and they had to ship a replacement plastic part which is still the same. I feel it will only be a matter of time unless this snaps again.

[@theTechNotice]

Thanks for sharing!

[@RunNGunPhoto]

I have the AK2000 as well and it's nearly impossible to use. It shakes no matter how well it's balanced.

[@madjonchannel5889]

Please explain how to conect sony a7 II to feiyutech ak2000 using cable instead of wifi for record video

[@theTechNotice]

Use a micro USB cable, and plug it from the camera to the bottom plate of pitch axis where the USB port is :)

[@madjonchannel5889]

@@theTechNotice i did try but for video record was not working..only work in the photo shutter..do you have any idea for this case?

Might not be supported, or try another cable and try firmware upgrade on both. :)
