Ok, so that Kamvas 13 review IS COMING, I swear I'm not trolling you guys. I dont know when I will get a working USB-C cord but when I do I can adequately test and review. Sorry.

[@darginmathi7542]

🙄🥺

[@nenidetic]

Might be a dumb question, but do you need to use Huion's USB-C connector or can you just grab any one that you might already have?

[@damianrclarkeee]

i wish the wacom intuos s has touch

[@nenidetic]

@@damianrclarkeee the older one does

[@Wrigger88]

On one hand i wanna see that review so bad, on the other hand i hope this becomes some kind of running gag :D I wonder if the huion drivers will work with apple products

[@MageThief]

I like how many options there are now for digital drawing tablets and screens.

[@STICKYArt]

MageThief lots of options.. but I went through two of the older model Huionn last year in a months time. Both of them the charge cable stopped working randomly. After further research I found many had the same issue with cables stop working. Also a lot of reviews are sponsored :( that said I’d recommend Wacom. They cost more upfront but none of the durability and weird glitches issues with other brands.

[@bluewolf7111]

And still cant afford one... one job I need, just one goddamnit.

[@umxrr8677]

Yeah, my dad is starting online teaching for maths, he just bought a lot of things and forgot about writing, i told him he could buy one of these tablets but he said he will use papers and a webcam

[@boredaf5782]

[@delphystreams]

I really love this drawing tablet, thanks brad for letting me know about it! I recently just ordered it!

[@AhmedSayed-tg3fe]

Hey, can you share with us your opinion on the tablet after this period cuz u know most of the reviews are not more than 6 months review.

[@billlarocque8359]

Brad, We're all at home watching your toots & reviews. Thanks for all your smiles and information. Stay well all.

[@Amx2512]

Hey Brad! Just wanted to say that I love your watching your vids bc they literally give out this calming vibe that I can't even explain. So. Yeah!😊

[@PCgmesforever]

Bought this one and I absolutely love it even though haven't had to much opportunities of using it cause Corona, home workstation with cintique etc. I love the slick and portable design of this and as you mentioned, the size is awesome! You get maximum drawing surface but can still fit it anywhere you can fit your note book. Edit: What I stated above, still holds true. However after working with it for few months I feel like I do have to point out that stylus compared to wacoms does feel bit worse. It is mainly about smoothnes of nib retracting inside on more angled pressure. While on wacom stylus I don't recall having any issues, with huions larger nib I found out it sometimes goes in a bit harder as the nib is pressured to the side of the stylus. This isn't too big of a issue and I don't feel like it decreased my productivity to any noticable measures, but it does give wacom bonus points in comfort/ luxury area. Aaaand I still love my huion :3

[@masumeme4070]

you're an angel for this comment

[@mahfujatuly6339]

Is it still working?

[@PCgmesforever]

@@mahfujatuly6339 yeah it is. I have to admit tho I wasn't using it that much these days (mostly cause I was using wacom cintique and haven't had much need for this guy nowadays ) , but I'd still recommend it for anyone starting with digital art or travelling more or even in general. I still think it is a great product and I see my self as fairly strict in my criteria for considering this type of product good. :)

[@peterpanda7475]

​​@@PCgmesforeverI'm thinking of getting the One By Wacom M or HS611, and I'm kinda leaning into the Wacom because of the "pan/ scroll (legacy)" feature. Being able to scroll with a visual of the cursor also moving up and down seems like such a good thing. I wanted to ask if the Huion's also able to scroll like a scrollwheel with the mouse buttons by swiping up and down without the cursor freezing in place. I just don't know if the scroll feature is necessary :o what do you think? Do you have any experience with the One by Wacom?

[@PCgmesforever]

@@peterpanda7475 sorry I have no experience with wacom One. I'm not aware of the scroll feature like that in Huion HS611. There is a touch sensitive slider on it but I don't recall ever using it for scrolling / zooming.

I was searching for review of this tablet online trying to figure out if it worth it just now, no review seem good until I saw yours. Greatly helpful! Thank you!

I just want to thank you for this review! This is the tablet I got, I’ve been super satisfied with it, and you were a big help!!

[@okaycalmdown7714]

I plan on buying this as my first drawing tablet. I've always been a traditional drawer but I've been wanting to get into digital art for awhile now.

[@thatonerandomchic0093]

I always thought that the speckles on the screen would affect how you draw guess not, you learn something new everyday!

[@flodraws1320]

2:06 I got really funky, no regrets! My parents got me this tablet, since the last one I had was really tiny and simple (a Huion H430P), and I absolutely love it! It's fun, big, portable, and the multimedia buttons, for someone like me who listens to music while I draw, are amazing!

[@MishaStaggs]

As far as Huion tablets that work pretty well with chromebook is the H640P. I got one to help my kiddo with her writing practice and it reads the pen well and I ddnt have to download any firmware or software. Worked directly out of the box. Huion's site even stated that this particular model will work with chromebook. Just my 2 cents as a momma who dabbles in digital art :)

[@321321kf]

Thx for the info, got me to order it, been thinking about getting back into drawing for a while, seems like a good budget choice

Thank you Brad for a great review. Been viewing all your drawing related videos. Have a small query. Does the pen drift when hovered 10 mm above the tablet? Like the cursor moves along the pen while its still in air 10mm above the tablet but doesnt click/draw anything on the board.

[@sussanochoa817]

Just got this as my first drawing tablet, obviously since it's my first there's a learning curve but after just about half a day of playing with it I could feel improvement, love the zoom bar and the many hot keys.

[@shangtots]

hi id like to ask how is the tablet's performance now? is it still good as new? im planning to buy one :)

[@sussanochoa817]

@@shangtots hi, yeah I still find that it's really good, the pressure sensitivity is great, also from the time I made that comment the nib doesn't seem to have worn out, I heard that's an issue some people have had with other tablets but despite constant use it hasn't worn out, the only kinda issue is that it advertised as something you can use on your phone but a least in the ones I've tested it on, it doesn't show a cursor so it makes difficult to draw in them, however unless you're planning to draw on your phone that shouldnt matter, it's the first tablet I've had so I don't really have anything else to compare it too but from what I've experienced so far it's great, good luck if you decide to buy it 😊

[@mtracey6482]

Thank you for posting this, I finally decided to buy this one after eyeballing it! But a tablet that I know that certainly works on Chromebook is the Wacom intuos, but not the best experience

[@ankitacharya7520]

did ya buy it from huion website?

[@kero8136]

I have a question! I'm not sure where to check for this kind of thing myself, so my apologies. When drawing on this tablet specifically, does the pen feel more like a paintbrush would compared to a pencil? To further explain, does it feel like you're drawing into a hard surface or does it feel like the nib moves into the pen to support a brush stroke kind of feeling? I have a 680tf currently that is... causing me some issues and it feels more like the latter than it does the former, which is what I'm looking for.

[@PrestaPretzel]

[@nisalisiriwardene8866]

How was it

[@kddayth]

For the touch strip, can you program it to do multiple things? Like how other tablets, you have a touchwheel where you can click a button or tap something to switch between zoom, color selection, etc. or is the hs611 limited to only one function programmed at a time for the touch strip?

Hello Brad! Thank you so much for a great review ! I am confused between One by wacom ($104 CAD) and Huion HS611 ($112 CAD) ....which one would you suggest for me as a beginner going to use the tablet solely for drawing ?

[@NikoKun]

How much pressure is needed for it to start drawing? Like does it draw immediately with any contact between the tip and the pad? Or does it require a little pressure to activate, like a ball-point pen? Cause I just got an HS611.. and it seems like it doesn't detect very light touches.. the pressure reads 0, just resting on the tip under the weight of the pen itself.. But it seems to be working for everything else.. :/ is that just normal?

[@yashvardhansinghrathore4090]

i wanna buy a drawing tablet but im confused which one to buy, i dont have a huge budget but im confused in Husion H950P or wacom intuos or XP-pen deco 1,2,3 or Husion h610 or husion h611, please help

[@turbium1870]

So I'm thinking of getting this, and my brother has photoshop on his big desktop already, but I am worried about the problem with the splotches occurring when you draw a line. Does turning down the line straightening feature completely eliminate that, and therefor make it fully viable as a good software/hardware?

[@anthonyjohncalabria6106]

Hey, i have a question, since you reviewed most tablets currently on the market. Wich of the Tablet's offer the most delicate pen? (Huion, XP-Pen or Wacom) Since i have to replace my old wacom tablets and i really hate the basic pen they ship with it. It feels a lot too big. I know that there is a special Pen from Wacom offered seperately for the price of a whole new tablet, and i couldn't even buy it since it doesn't support the old models anymore.

In a way, I love how many options there are for digital drawing tools, but in a way it’s annoying because there are just so many choices...how will I ever decide which one?

[@magscorner]

Research you're options and find out what features that's suits your needs

[@YizusCrist]

Ask people who had or have the product, then make a personal opinion about every tablet, also consider things like customer support, products that fail (the quality control), specs, etc. Sometimes there are 2-5 choices and all of them are really good (maybe one a little better than others), but if you can decide easily then even if you don't get the best product you probably get a good product, and is better to enjoy it than to think maybe you didn't get the best product.

Hey Brad - I'm deciding between this and the XP Pen Deco Pro (medium). Both seem very similar, but the XP Pen looks like it has a better build quality. Which one would you go for? I'm going to be using it for professional illustration work (Cliip Studio, Photoshop and Zbrush mainly) and it would replace my old Wacom Intuos (which is ancient now). The main difference is the price XP Pen Deco Pro being CAD280 and the Huion being CAD143.99. What would you go for?
