BUDGET 3-in-1 GIMBAL FeiyuTech Scorp Mini for smartphone, mirrorless and action cameras | Review

[@martincobb6937]

Gimbal designers should keep phone cases in mind when developing their products.

[@H.pylori]

Agree!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Absolutely

[@frankygoestocanada]

Soooo Truuuuuue!

[@summerw8621]

Really appreciated your detailed review. That's indeed convenient to take mini one to suitable for camera and phone.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for your comment and support

[@savvydirtfarmer]

Hello, will this gimbal work with the Nikon Z30? thank you.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I’m sure it would work I just don’t know if it is compatible as I don’t have that camera. It is the best if you ask them directly.

[@angelynarellano-gardose965]

Hi! I have this but its my first time to use gimbal and I cant seem to use it despite checking tutorials. Can you recommend any beginner video easy to understand or could you please create a video for beginners!? Thank you so much!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

At the beginning, it’s going to be very overwhelming. It happens with any new gimbal you get. Just take it very slowly step-by-step. Read the manual and try to understand both each button does.

[@grouchomagic]

I have the new S23 Ultra, and I have to remove the OtterBox case to use this gimbal.I still may buy this gimbal for Europe, but I have to put it in a belt bag. No one else has one that will work. I am also curious if the buttons will be in the way when mounting the phone. Thanks, very informative! Steve G.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is hard to find the perfect fit for certain phones. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question as I don’t have that type of phone here.

[@matador.oficial]

Muchas gracias, este video realmente me sirvió demasiado, es muy bueno al explicar todos los aspectos. Lo haces muy bien y te felicito. Saludos desde Colombia.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. I’m glad the video helped.

[@at4overlandadventures711]

Hi. I see that you plug your camera directly into the gimbal to control aperture etc...I have a OM-Systems OM-5. Are you aware if this gimbal would connect to the OM-5 and have the same functionality??

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately, I am not sure. Sorry.

[@provishu]

Hello Zdenka , What would be your choice between Zhiyun Smooth 5S, Moza mini P Max, an Feiyutech Scorp Mini, if u were to be shooting primarily with Bigger smart phone with add on lenses, Action cameras ??? budget around 200$

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You need 3 in 1 if you want to use it with action cameras… to be honest I never use gimbal with action camera though….. if you only want something for smartphone Zhiyun is great. Otherwise I like Feiyu tech

[@imrinasution3552]

This is by far the best review for Scorpion Mini. Thank you for wonderful video.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome

[@adrianhinds2041]

Hi Zdenka , I'm not sure if anyone asked this question. Is there any phone filmmaking application like filmic pro that's compatible with this gimbal where I can adjust exposure iso, etc, or maybe Zoom via the gimbal settings on the display? Or do those settings only work with a camera?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately it is only possible to be used with its dedicated app

[@messiahhardware7087]

Please guide me best gimbal for s22 ultra scorp mini 2 or hohem mt2 or any other? Could you please suggest, im confused?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

For phone… Hohem iSteady m6 is enough

[@travelwithlenses]

It is so nice to know that such gimbal exist! Thanks Zdenka!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome

[@dmitriy.3812]

Hello. Thanks for the interesting review. Please tell me, when connecting the camera to the gimbal with a cable, can the camera be charged from the gimbal?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

No, unfortunately, it is not for charging

[@dmitriy.3812]

​Thank you.

[@nicolamietta]

Nice review Zdenka.I have to buy a gimbal for smartphones and Sony A7, which one would you suggest between this and Moza mini p ???

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Wait for mini p pro… I should have it in a week or so 👍😉

[@BazzilioSPb]

Is this gimbal compatible with Nikon Z6 II (with z 24-120 f. 4)?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately, that is something I cannot answer as I don’t have that camera. It is best to check their compatibility list on their website.

[@MonzonMedia]

I've been holding off on getting a new Gimbal as I'm still using the original Moza Aircross. I like that it can be used for smart phone too! Thanks for the review, I'll be adding this to my list of possible upgrades.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. If you like Moza, give me 2 weeks as another one like this from Moza will be reviewed as well 😉

[@MonzonMedia]

@@ZdenkaDarula I look forward to it! I won't be purchasing until maybe October for my upcoming bday 😁

[@JKCover]

Thank you for the detail review. I’ve ordered mine after looking at your review. I have a question. Shall I use focus motor for controlling zoom? I have manual zoom lens(Tamron) and would like to use zoom control via some kind of motor power for smoother zoom-in/out.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome… I would try all options and see which one is best for you.., meaning what result you like the most

[@pentcovechronicles5271]

Hi, Where did you order yours from? I want to get one ASAP. I'm in the UK. Thanks

[@JoeGuyon]

Thanks for the review! Can you use another app like Black Majic ?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome… it is not connected to the app so it is better to use theirs… however you can film in Blackmagic and use gimbal to stabilize the footage

[@JoeGuyon]

@@ZdenkaDarula thank you very much!

[@JoeGuyon]

@@ZdenkaDarula The ergonomic seems really interesting but I’m really worried about the smartphone clamp. Feels cheap and not secure for an expensive iPhone… Hohem MT2 and M6 seems more secure right?

[@AllianceGroup-JLimo]

Thank you for a great review. I just purchased this gimbal and I can't figure out how to turn on the face tracking while using a smart phone. Any way you could advise on how to use that feature? Thanks again!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I believe you would use the app Feiyu ON and just drag with finger across the smartphone screen

[@onnie1968]

Thank you Zdenka fantastic review :)

[@ZdenkaDarula]

[@dan-lee]

How about canon m50 + sigma 16mm lens? Can it do it? Mine is feiyu g6max and i have trouble to underslung because the VF obstruct with roll motor..

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I wish I could answer this, but I would have to test it to be honest

[@Ptre.]

Feiyu scorp mini vs Moza Mini P Max, which one should i get? Help me 😢

[@ZdenkaDarula]

It depends what camera you have and it’s compatibility.. please look at their website to check what is compatible… I like tiny bit more SCORP mini

[@MHz-jl6wt]

Fantastic review Zdenka, based on your review it appears this is a mighty mini gimbal for lightweight DSLR setups. Will the "intelligent tracking module" work using one of the compatible cameras or will it only work with a smart phone? Regards, and all the best to you and your channel.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

From what I see it is working only with a smartphone

[@niki6852]

Is digital zoom (electronic follow focus) still going on this gimbal?On mine this function is no longer available since the last updates! I’m so disappointed now!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I will have to check that

[@thisbridgehascables]

Curious you said ahoy at the close .. are you from Czech Republic?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Yes, I was born there whoever I live 26 years in Canada This is for Czech people, so they can feel comfortable writing me in Czech language

[@niki6852]

Nice test. Is it posibile to shoot video in 24fps with this gimbal? Should Feiyu change settings by new firmware?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much. You have to use another app to be able to film and 24 frames per second

[@renesklangwelt4393]

Nobody else was diligent enough to warn about the lack of 24 frames, although it's so important - thank you so much. After 11 months still no update to shoot 24?

[@BlueJayBonsai]

@@ZdenkaDarula And now from FeiyuTech: You may have received an email to inform you that the campaign was hidden due to an intellectual property dispute, please don't worry, it is a simply issue caused by a comparison picture showing other brand's gimbal. We have deleted the picture and Kickstarter has informed us that "the dispute is now complete." So our project is now available to the public again.

[@BhaaskarDesai]

To be honest I am quite impressed with this one. As you said, time will tell if it holds the reliability tests. I have been using the Zhiyun Smooth 4 since a year and a half now and I added a 4th axis, which I made myself, to stabilize the vertical shake a bit. It's been quite reliable and handles all my needs very effectively. I also made a lightweight case for my phone and DIY counterweights for balance. Later on I made a manual cable trolley which works very nice too. Was hoping to release a video for that, time constraints prohibited me, but will make sure to make some videos for that soon now. Thanks & great video as always Zdenka~! :)

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you very much for sharing. It likes you build yourself a grace set up

[@ChelseaLito617]

How did you make the 4th axis?

[@manyonzonmhelung]

Is it compatible with Canon M 50 Mark II. Please response. Its very urgent.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

As I don’t have that camera, I don’t know. As I said in the video, please go to their website and check compatibility list to see if that camera is there.

[@AvXstudio]

Hey , what about Feiyutech Scorp-C ?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

[@gilbertguerin9080]

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...

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately I don’t have that camera so I don’t know

[@kqharvey]

Adding a wireless mic receiver looks problematic as the gimbal blocks the lightening port. Is there a way to get around this? Are there any gimbals that would allow it?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

All you have to do is move it left and then rebalance it. I didn’t keep it left as I wasn’t using those accessories

[@pentcovechronicles5271]

Great video. Where can I buy this please?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

It should be available on their website very soon

[@EricRoseBahamas]

Nice gimbal and wonderful review; but it looks like it has the same payload as the FeiyuTech G6 Max from a few years ago. Have you ever used that one? Waving from in the Islands of The Bahamas :)

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I was requesting that one but they didn’t want to send it to me.. not sure why…. This one just has a different design

[@thefourthquarter7429]

Sorry, just saw this question. The G6 Max has a large payload. It has a much more traditional design (like the Crane M3) and is a little dated in terms of the display. Personally I love it. It balances a Sony ZV-1 with a heavy wide angle adapter and Ulanzi cage without issue. This is really great because the wide angle lens is quite heavy and very front heavy. I imagine the Scorp (which I would get if the G6 Max died) is better in every way. If you just want the payload, the G6 Max is fine. If you want more features, nicer display, and extra handle then get the Scorp.

[@jalanyuks2707]

I use Scorp Mini, but when I use pan mode and rotate the object (orbit) it still breaks or isn't smooth... even though if I used Zhiyun Crane V2 or yesterday I used Weebil 3S, the movement was smoother... my Scorp mini gimbal is the problem or are my settings wrong??

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I’m trying to understand what could happen. To be honest, it might be the gimbal that’s just my opinion. There should not be any setting to adjust for a smooth movement. Try to get in touch with the company directly to see if they have a solution.

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.

[@ZdenkaDarula]
