Michael: the problem with the pressure in zbhush is not you hand, is an issue with photoshop open at the same time with zbrush.

[@ReadyMack-g]

Movink 13 by WACOM, one cord and side button, did you see this?

[@frediusmaximus1]

Great review! This is the tablet that has been on my radar to use with Zbrush and all Affinity apps.

[@aolin77]

You confirmed my confidence to buy the Huion pro 24(4K) thank you Michael 🎉

[@RecepcionBarceloneta]

Thank you for all the videos that helped me. best of Luck!

[@Flyyyyy-]

It would be really cool to see a direct side-by-side comparison between the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 (Gen 2) and this Huion. Many artists are recommending the new XP-Pen, so it would be incredible to have a direct comparison of it with the similarly priced Pen-Display

[@andrewwelch5017]

One difference is the screen aspect ratio. The Huion is 16:9 while the XP Pen is 16:10. I bought the Huion but I do prefer the 16:10 aspect ratio of the XP Pen.

[@Zelgadis21]

what a timely upload, I was just thinking on whether I should get this lol

[@vonburkestudios]

Awesome man! I had the 2.5k 13" and returned it to upgrade to the 16". Great to see your stamp of approval!

[@Sway55]

you are so good at doing unboxing & review videos. u should make more 😋

[@3dguy839]

Lol that computer bag has a lot of that Substance Painter edge wear on the top

[@sirinepeace9086]

thank you for this review

Nike is looking great🔥🔥 wow

[@vs3d319]

I have the 16 non 2.5k and love it- swapped from a 22UHD Cintique

[@junechevalier]

Is the pixel on the screen too noticeable on it?

[@Rolke15]

Quick warning to those that would use the Huion Kamvas Pro 16. I'm a proud owner myself, however I have noticed I loose pressure sensitivity in zBrush if I have Photoshop open at the same time. Close Photoshop and my sensitivity immediately came back in the zBrush app. Not sure if @Michael Pavlovich has seen or can confirm the same as me?

[@topy706]

i got the older full HD version of this dirt cheap for under 200€ and im extremely happy.

[@SpearChuckUngawa]

I just bought a Cintiq 22". The deciding factor was Huion's unwillingness to correspond to the question of 'Disconnected"

[@richardbutte2518]

...I've had one of these for about a year, and never knew about the three-seconds-power-menu

[@Daniel_Vital]

When is the new zbrush tutorial coming out? And what would be the cost?

[@iddeegee]

so I believe does not support multitouch to use for rotations? it there any air gap? Touch support is essential to me.

[@thisGuy481]

I bought a Huoin Kamvas as well (I know, a year late) coming from a non-screen drawing tablet. My zbrush workflow just hasn't been the same, I feel like I'm a lot slow with the screen tablet.

[@raf5916]

Thanks for the video! I have a problem with HUION Kamvas 22 in Zbrush. At times the zoom in or out in the viewport works poorly, when I zoom in or out zbrush frames the subtool in another place. Something similar happens when I move the model. It's really annoying to work like this.

[@ltj6108]

My issue has been finding a good notebook for zbrush, with a good screen ratio and power enough to not be laggy, whats your model of note, pav ?

[@JorgeMorenoCGArtist]

Hi, can be set to use by a left handed person???

[@abhishekpro1]

does huion have on screen commands... like the wacom drop down and radial menus?

[@pun.watercolor]

This thing have any heat problem? I mean when you painting screen get hot?

[@pablov3d]

when photoshop is open uses windows ink, and Zbrush goes all Funky with pressure makin bumps in the stroke, when both software are open at the same time. i contacted support, they are aware of the issue, it happens to all Huions, is in the drivers. and is an old issuie they never fix it. That why i returned my huion.

[@HappyKatze]

Is it possible to turn off the display completely and just use it as drawing tablet?

[@KaneFamily1976]

I purchased this for my grandson and we are not able to get it up and running. Are you for hire with a one on one online tutorial? Thank you.

[@KrazyRobot]

what chair do you use?

[@CryptoFeeders]

is there any lag?

[@acidicbloom]

Bought a Kamvas Pro 16 (4K) not too long ago, and was very disappointed. In fact, the tablet is very good, although the resolution for such a screen is too excessive, but a strong ghosting effect, very striking. In my daily work I use 32' monitor with 5ms response time and 164Hz bit rate. Huion has 25ms and 60Hz respectively. I've tried to get used to the Kamvas matrix, but to me it seems incredibly slow. Maybe for 2D work it is not critical because it is almost invisible against the light background and you can draw in Photoshop without any problems, but for sculpting in Zbrush I would not recommend it.

[@yugi9710]

Thanks very interesting ; what would you say about durability ?

[@acidicbloom]

In general, the materials are not bad, and the responsiveness of the pen is not much worse than the Wacom. The pen is great, without batteries. Judging from the reviews and my month of using the tablet, the screen is still as good as new. I just read purely positive comments about the tablet and watched the reviews. But almost all were from 2D artists. And I don't know if it's a problem with my model specifically, because they have a 24' with 14ms response time, or if it's a matter of habit, because I use a much more responsive monitor. In general, my advice, before buying, pay attention not only to the positive reviews, but also read the specs and compare with your everyday equipment. If you google "kamvas ghosting", there are few reviews where they complain about the same problem in other models. But if you are a 2D artist, this is a much more affordable tablet than the Wacom models and the overall quality is not much inferior to the Japanese company's tablets.

[@yugi9710]

@@acidicbloom thanks a lot for the elaborate answer. Yeah there's an overall positive vibe around this product. For less 400 bucks it's awesome.

[@boozebeard9501]

I bought a huion years ago when they first started becoming popular and the ghosting was SOOO bad. Sent it straight back. I was really hoping that would be a problem of the past... My 16" cintiq has no such problem and I was really hoping to upgrade soon but the big wacoms are sooo expensive x_x

[@bendover-bz4bc]

I'm looking for a tablet to work in zbrush. What tablet would be great to work in zbrush according to you? Any specific features to look for before buying tablet specifically for 3d sculpting?

[@Aqari_]

Hi, anyone can help? I have a strange problem. My huion makes a high-pitched noise when the screen is turn on. When I touch the screen with pen the noise changes to a buzzy sound. A similar high-pitched noise comes from the power brick. Its quiet noise but its give me a headache. Is it normal noises? This model is my first display tablet...and i'm afraid about my pc too. Display tablets, which my friends use, do not produce those sounds.

[@Rebecca-qg8pb]

Can I use it for video editing and hit film pro for special effects. And can I transfer those videos to my macbook seamlessly?

[@cheveyo2403]

it is not a stand alone. its basically just like a monitor with pen control. refresh rate is a bit slow too at 14ms it would probably be no good for fast moving images

[@Rebecca-qg8pb]

@@cheveyo2403 what I meant was 1--can it have softwares that are not on my pc or must it be on my pc to be on the display tablet? 2-- can I use it when my pc is off or does it only function with a pc that is on? Thanks for the info by the way 👍

[@3dguy839]

Just heard on Joe Rogan's podcast that Bob Lazar was using the tablet at S4 to work on the 👽 👾 👽 spaceships All the way back in 80s 90s no Wacom 3s

[@radoman1234]

You must do more 2D :)

[@pixbstudios]

Is 16" enough? or do you prefer a 24".?

[@DeathDealer-DD]

i have the same tablet....the resolution is big and enough that if you prefer much bigger size...but resolution is what matters

[@yugi9710]

That's what she said.

[@pixbstudios]

@walid walidos Thank you for the info mate. 🙂 What do you use it for?. I draw on a 24" monitor using an intuos (not a pen display). I think going from a 24" to a 16" is kind of a bummer for me. But im just collecting some info from people who have used it to better decide whether to buy a 16" or a 24".

[@yugi9710]

@@pixbstudios it's not a downgrade cuz you will be drawing at 1:1 scale just like paper. Try 16" piece of paper. It's perfectly fine. Now if your intuos is large and you are used to big strokes ( shoulder movement) then it'd matter.

[@bitmatoes]

Theres good lag, is that your computer?

[@bitmatoes]

After watching the zbrush, I think its cause adobe stinks,.

[@TomaZxxZas]

tbh untill they start making monitors at 144hz refresh rate or whatever else needs to be done to eliminate cursor lag (not brush lag) I won't really care about the new releases, iPad has spoiled me with it's zero latency

[@acidicbloom]

Feel you there. Been using Pro 16 (4K) for a month and ghosting effect is killing me. I think my HP monitor with its high refresh rate and 5 ms response time also spoiled the Kamvas experience for me. Considering that the only 120Hz tablet display is from Wacom and costs an insane $4.5K, it is really worth waiting for Huion to respond with its model.

[@BeardedPete]

That´s some horrible lag/delay when you are drawing..

[@yugi9710]

The problem with Huion seems to be durability so Idk if Mike is gonna use it long enough but it'd be cool if he gives us an update after extensive use. I know people with working wacom 3's or earlier can't say the same with Huion owners.

[@crazylegsmurphy]

In my opinion there are only three things that matter in a tablet review. Nothing else matters unless these are solid. 1. Is there a fan and what is the noise? 2. What is the delay when using the pen? 3. How bad is the parallax?

[@JJMotionStudio]

Did you just say "Hawaiian"

[@3dguy839]

Thats not you transitioning Looked like you a bit in drag Nice work

[@Fraktalismus]

you look so tired....

[@buffwarriors]

Nope. Do not buy. I did last year and I can clearly say that this thing is far from being pro hardware. I am saving money for cintiq. I use cintiq in the office and kamvas at home. The difeerence is like day and night. Do not believe these paid videos.

[@IspyrGameDev]

Would be helpful if you stated what's set them so far apart. I've been using Huion for almost 3yrs now in my professional career using sizes from small ("12")medium (20") to pro (24" QHD) and never once had issues creating.

[@buffwarriors]

@@IspyrGameDev I am a professional artist and using Kamvas 20" pro at home. The pen's pressure sensitivity is just so poor that there is virtually no difference between pressure opacity on and off with photoshop's airbrush. It is a pain in the butt to use pen while color picking from the color wheel, you can't make precise selections. I simlpy have to switch to mouse whenever I want to pick a color few pixel away. The input response time is bad as well compared to wacom. If you wanna make very detailed, high-end illustraion assets Kamvas is just not efficient enough and therefore not for pros (at least to a certain degree) imho. At my office, I use Cintiq and it provides much smoother experience and it simply works with me. At home, with Kamvas I feel like it works against me. At the first chance I will sell my Kamvas and buy a Cintiq.

[@iochimura]

@@buffwarriors Are you by any chance using them on the same computer which might cause driver conflicts?

[@buffwarriors]

@@iochimura no

[@iochimura]

@@buffwarriors ugh, sounds awful then... I bought one with their black Friday offers and received on that was missing most of the accessories, it was obviously used and was super dirty, so I and had to return it... Sounds like a dodged a bullet....

[@kozmobotgames]

It's NOT portable! I wasted my money on this thing and I cannot get it to work on my laptop. I used a USB-C to USB-C cable and my laptop does NOT recognize it, I still have black screen on the tablet. It can only work on my laptop if I plug it into the wall socket, which is a thing I don't like in display tablets. Because I hate sitting in my room and working all day long at one place, I decided to sell that Huion tablet I wasted my money and buy an iPad instead.

Слава Україні!🇺🇦

[@unnf9971]

Let us see a long term unbuyest review after maybe 6 months.

[@coffeediction]

I was not able to find the price on their site, sounds fishy to me when they are hiding it so hard. Store button doesnt work too. I had bad experience with Huion in the past, it seems like nothing changed after 2-3 years to be honest. XPPen is not better (offset pen to display = really bad, it seem like you have the same issue with the Huion when looked at properly, but you dont mention it.) Also nothing is perfect. Not even a tablet. Barely any negatives, I just cannot believe that.
