Feiyu Tech G6 Plus a few Months Later: a Great All-in-One Stabilizer

[@jnxilianzhan1192]

A great gimbal for some small camera,As I know that it can controllable for Sony 6400!

[@jennifer-nw3gu]

Wow cool, all in one stabilizer, I love it. It looks very smooth.

[@TechMishka]

Yup! They've done it surprisingly well. 👍

[@janayang166]

No noisy from outside when recording, that super cool! One matches all, pretty good design, that's what I want. Thanks for taking this so nice review :)

[@TechMishka]

Thanks Jana. Indeed - the lack of noise coming from the motors is a great strength. I will use the gimbal once again in the next video appearing - this Friday. About an action camera. And you can never guess it was attached on a gimbal. 😎

[@matthewsoohoo6903]

Tech4All Is that an upgrade that was made to the g6 plus? I was reading stuff about the g6 and people were complaining about motor noise. With the g6 plus, should I still get an external mic?

[@lukehero]

Nice review! Where was this filmed? Somewhere in Bulgaria? It looks beautiful!

[@TechMishka]

Hey Luke, thanks for the comments. Part of the scenes are from Bulgaria, the rest - Lago Di Gadra, Italy. 💗

[@megancross2954]

Hey! Thanks so much for the quality content! Did you like this one or the Hohem Multi better? I just bought the Hohem and I am getting a LOT of motor noise and limited motion in the tilt forward. Should I consider this one as opposed to the Hohem Multi?

[@TechMishka]

Hmm, I think this one has quieter motors. My suggestion is to wait for a few weeks - heard that moza will release a hybrid gimbal and it will be quite interesting 😊

[@auris1086]

Easy to assemble,fun to use

[@TechMishka]

Wow! Yes! Part of it was shot in Trento, another part was shot in the area of Lago Di Garda.

[@howardworf6760]

I am enjoying using mine and really have no complaints about the gimbal. Mine did not, however, come with a smartphone or action camera mount. A generic phone mount was about €3 on eBay and my action camera has a tripod mount built in, so not issues. Just be aware that there must be different accessory packs in different regions. Panasonic cameras (I have an FZ300 and an LX100) are not much use remote controlled by the Feiyu app - this is because when Panasonic cameras are under remote control the LCD screen turns off after a few seconds, and this is not user controllable. I have added a smartphone holder to the side socket on the Feiyu and control the cameras from the phone using the Panasonic app, which keeps a live view on the phone all the time.

[@TechMishka]

Howard, this is very useful! Thank you so much for sharing all that. I am quite surprised about FT not including the accessories - such a shame for a device which is rather a bit expensive. Hopefully they will reconsider.

[@phoenixliang891]

Hi, a great video. I just wanna know how heavy are your Panasonic G7 and lens!

[@TechMishka]

Around 600g.

[@StephenGinman]

Hi, does it have an All-follow mode which includes the roll axis?

[@TechMishka]

It supports that. I think FT call this FPV or something like that.

[@aliciazhou3062]

really nice review, one gimbal can work with many devices, so cool.

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, and once you get used to it - does the job pretty well and switching between devices is quite easy too.

[@ABSOriginals]

★is there any 1/4" thereds at bottom? ★Whats the hole above the side wheel ?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, this is what I forgot to mention - both are good for that. However the one on the side can be hardly used due to the short distance to the knob.

[@ABSOriginals]

[@TechMishka]

Only if the smartphone app is running on the phone and the phone is used.

[@redoxrecords6384]

Thanks for the video. Using a GH4 I do not have the tilt eye viewer problem as the y axis can be raised slightly using the roll calibrater clamp.

We can use phone with safety cover or need to remove cover?

[@TechMishka]

Depends on the cover/case. I was file using the phone with the case.

[@JWS1968]

I've just got this gimbal and tried it for the first time last night just for a couple hours. I'm using it with the Sony A6300. I haven't linked it up with the app yet I'm going to give that a go today but I have to mention the mounting plate which is an absolute killer for this gimbal. It is so hard to use and could be a deal breaker for me. The A6300 needs to be removed from the gimbal not just for the battery but also to replace a card. Also the batteries on the A6300 are small and don't last long which I understand will decrease further when using the WiFi function. This means that the camera will need to be removed and reset often. I knew before I purchased that this would be the case but I didn't realize the mounting plate would be anywhere near the pain it is when removing and mounting the camera. Just a word of caution to anyone wanting to get one of these. I'm not saying the gimbal is crap, I haven't tested it properly yet but just on initial impressions the mounting plate needs a solution for easier mounting and remounting or it going to end up on the shelf for a lot of us and eventually on eBay.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks John - very useful information, as a lot of people will be getting it for A6300 or A6400.

[@astigmatik]

what you can do is attach a powerbank to the gimbal. there's a 1/4" thread there, and probably use sony's USB charging. however, i am not sure if you can USB charge the sony while using it

[@SoyaDanial]

Hi there, do g6 plus have face tracking features on smartphone?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, supported only with a smartphone.

[@SoyaDanial]

@@TechMishka can I know what app is it

Sure - the T6i will work fine. Guess you can use a more basic gimble for an actioncam too.

[@theobaz]

Please show a tutorial of how you connected the camera with the app. I can not do that, and I have a camera just like yours.

You mean the Panasonic G7? No way; It only works with a limited amount of cameras, unfortunately. I think the GH series are supported.

I think it is. But better confirm that with Feiyu Tech's support.

[@norm949]

Thanks for the great review. I am seriously considering this gimbal for my Lumix G7 because I don't want to buy a large stabilizer meant for full size DSLRs and there seems to be little competition in this range except for the new Zhiyun Crane M2. What lens did you use on your G7 for your test?

[@TechMishka]

It was the 25mm f/1.7. This gimbal is a little expensive; You may also think about getting the new smaller DJI Ronin SC; Since I also used the Panasonic G7 and still do - going to a Body with stabilziation is well worth it; There are some G85 second hand bodies which are really affordable.

[@eugenecctan]

Can feiyutech phone holder support Huawei mate 20x. Thanks

[@TechMishka]

Yeah, I think so - looking at the dimensions it looks about right.

[@tansanite09]

Hey 😉 - did you realize that the button on the backside has changed in design? On all pictures and feiyu homepage it shows a round button - but yours and mine ... are oval - second the lock for the quick release plate changed to the side of the plate - all official pictures show it under the plate - strange isnt it ??? And a fast question : when your gimbal is turned off does the pano/360 rotator sound like a ticking clock when rotating it (quite calm noise)? Thanks and have a nice day👍🏻

[@TechMishka]

Hi George - thank you for pointing to these. I didn't really pay attention to these photos and now I can notice the difference. Question is which are the newer revision 😎. I had none of these sounds - and - I hope that even if they exist that doesn't point to a trouble...

[@palawanrexx1331]

i wonder if it carry my 600 grams canon sx 70hs ? i really like to buy this, and also i have sj cam, if g6 plus cant support sj cams , then can i just use the gimbal and sj cams without needing to connect them by Bluetooth or wifi?

[@TechMishka]

You can use SJCAMS without bluetooth, sure! But you will have to manually stop and start recording; As for the Canon camera - yeah - it will handle 600 grams well.

Has to be very lightweight - with the lens - below 800g - which is very limiting.

[@sailendralama3753]

Does it works for canon 750d ?? Would be great help???

[@TechMishka]

You will be too limited with the lenses. Better look at the new Ronin Gimbal.

[@venuslnd]

How you balance your phone on g6plus

[@TechMishka]

You attach it and you use the screws to make sure all the axis are well balanced. Takes a bit of patience, but is a must to avoid vibrations.

[@nikitrz]

Преди няколко месеца си взех Vimble 2 на същата марка.Има какво да се желае, но за тези пари е супер!Приложението им се ъпдейтва често, но въпреки това от време на време крашва и има какво да се пипне, за да работи още по-добре.

[@TechMishka]

Преди много време ползвах Vimble 1, и смятам, че Vimble 2 e много по-добър. И е чудесен, особено на фона на цената си.

[@BrendanWhelan]

Just got this mostly for my iPhone XS Max + Moment lenses cause there's no smartphone gimbals that can handle this weight capacity except Movi and I'm not a fan of it. Anyway, I have been going nuts trying to balance this thing. The problem is getting the phone to stay in place before turning it on. It keeps wanting to either fall forward or backwards. I can't find a sweet spot. But when I turn it on, it props into position. I'm just wondering if this isn't balanced properly and if you have tips. thanks

[@TechMishka]

This gimbal only needs it to horizontally balance it - so it is fine.

[@katewong9191]

It is suitable for many devices, so convenience.

[@ShowmotoTv]

This my next gimbal list awooooo

[@phia8723]

Is this gimbal heavy?

[@TechMishka]

If it is not urgent - give yourself another 1-2 months. I really want to tell you some more details, but have signed NDA. THere will be soon a gimbal with similar purpose, better specs, smaller form factor... And maybe - better price!

[@SoyaDanial]

Is it true that feiyutech g6 plus is waterproof?

[@TechMishka]

Partially.

[@Joyce-tq2hf]

Nice video. G6P could be compatible with Sony RX0 and GoPro Hero series of action cameras and fit for smartphone with smartphone adapter, really a good choice.

[@TechMishka]

Yup, very true. Of course almost any action camera will fit - without app controls though. But that is also good enough - we are looking for stable footage, right 😎

[@ThyagoVideomaker]

I bought a used G6 plus on ebay, but it didnt come with the Quick release plate, so i cant mount my camera. Does someone know whats the plate a need to buy to fit in it? @

[@TechMishka]

Just go to any photography store and you will find such plates.

[@spagget]

why it's shaky? what is it causing?

[@TechMishka]

Shakes are caused by hand movements, style of walking (mine is horrible for steady shots) and body movements. If there was a gyro with spring to compensate - it was about to be perfectly still - that's why professional grade stabilizers look quite different to these ones.

[@spagget]

@@TechMishkahmmmm that is weird, after this comment i tried my smooth q and it is smooth just like any youtube review. or maybe this video is zoomed in. correct?

[@kajismusic]

I am having a big problem with the knob of the 3rd axis/arm. All of a sudden it got SO TIGHT you can't manually unscrew it anymore, yet the arm and the camera-plate it carries stays loose and adjustable. I've tried with all my power and there's no way it's getting unscrewed - never experienced anything like this before with any electronics. Any idea what's causing this? I mean it feels like it's just a locked super tight screw, but the camera platform is still loose vertically and I can't balance the thing because of this... Hope I made any sense lol. I really wanted to like this gimbal but goddamn, not a decent film day done and already running into problems. Any help is appreciated if someone has experience with this!

[@TechMishka]

Oh, sounds terrible. And perhaps there's a small metal part which likely is stuck somewhere and causing the issues with the thread. I'd say - go to a turner specialist or someone that deals with fine metal parts.

[@Dinos0001]

Although the review was great... it made me NOT wanna buy this gimbal. The footage is so shaky. Look at 1:14, it's like it's not even on a gimbal. Don't know if there was something wrong in the balancing but it is unacceptable for a gimbal to be that shaky. I own the Smooth Q (phone gimbal) by Zhiyun and the footage is not shaky at all. I was looking for a gimbal for my Sony a5100 but I will stay away from this one for sure. Dodged a bullet there, so thanks!

[@TechMishka]

konavy - having stable footage is a sequence of a number of events. THere always be shakes visible if you rely on mechanical stabilization with a lightweight gimbal. Most likely you like the Smooth Q footage (by the way - my favorite gimbal ever!) because your phone adds EIS - something that I was shutting off for the testing. That's why filmmakers use much heavier gimbals with counterweight - having more weight reduce or eliminate the normal human body movements and give buttersmooth results. That's the theoretical part. On the practical side - to me it is also hard to justify the price of the G6 Plus, and if you need gimbal for actioncams and smartphones - the Smooth Q is still a great choice.

[@walterblaj9473]

Great review, unfortunately it contributed to my decision of purchasing this product. It's my first gimbal, and it looks, feels and works apparently fine. BUT. The Feiyu ON app, required to control EVERYTHING on the gimbal (updates, settings, camera controls), is a piece of crap - as mentioned by the more than 1000 users (of 2000) in Google Play store, which are giving it only one star... It has a overall rating of 2.3... So everybody interested, be aware of this aspect...

[@TechMishka]

Hey Walter - thanks for the opinion shared. I seem to belong to the same kind of opinion - the App must be way better than that. But you can use the gimbal without it - losing some functionality.

[@georgedoolittle7574]

Apparently works great with Apple products and terrible with Android products. I've just set up using a Google Pixel on an old Feiyu I picked up for 20 bucks and for what I'm trying to do meaning just try it out with two phones no camera I like it as a learning tool. I agree "never use as a pro" as they're stealing Propietary information and should be only had as a dirt cheap training device. Still worth having imo.
