Sorry guys!! That first shot running in the park was actually with the ZV-E10 and the Sigma 16mm 1.4 with the Scorp Mini. The kit lens would not give that much blur. The REST of the labels in the video are accurate though 🤪

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@sfisogwamanda2975 fixed it

[@Werdanm]

How was your experience with Sigma 16mm 1.4 lens on this gimbal? Were is a few comments from FeiyuTech representatives on Kickstarter saying Sigma 16mm 1.4 is not supported at all due to size (especially length) of that lens...

[@levelupwithmikenewman]

that was going to be my question! I was hoping the sigma would work this well while moving quickly for the social media commercials I shoot! I'm sold!

[@Sehyo]

This project on kickstarter is a fraud! You should delete the link from your description.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@Sehyo Yes - I deleted the kickstarter link. They sell it on Amazon now. I have been very disappointed with the Feiyutech Kickstarter campaign. I have not accepted any more Feiyutech products for review because of it. Too bad - because their gimbals are good.

[@peicyrc1241]

Scorp-Mini is super compact and lightweight, I think it is a perfect travel companion. I like the multi-function knob, it allows me to control movement from the gimbal to tilt up and down as well as pan left to right manually.

[@RussellVineyard]

I just got this gimbal and truth be told, it's my first gimbal that is motorized. Since it's my first gimbal, I had to learn to balance it. Maybe many other gimbals are easier to balance, but I had it done within a five minute window my first go. The more I do it, the better I'll get. I was super shocked at how fast I did it. I'm still learning in the ins and outs of it (not too sure I like the app very much yet). But all in all, this was a great first gimbal purchase.

[@LittleMountainLife]

Great review as always. Especially appreciate your thoughts comparing it to the competition. Its a awesome early price but I can't convince myself to pick up a gimbal for my a7c. Just an extra thing to setup when I already complain about hitting record on my sony compared to quickly pulling out my iphone. Thats just for vlogging though so I can see how a gimbal would totally be worth it if I had more dedicated 'shoots' to setup for.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - do not get a gimbal unless you definitely need one. They take time to setup and use (and get good at using). For a lot of people they end up collecting dust.

[@gavinmaloney6773]

Great video & awesome product. Perhaps I’m ahead of the game, but I’m still surprised that these very smart gimbal/tech companies haven’t brought out auto camera balancing? Simply scroll through a menu-select camera body & lens & gimbal instantly balances. Lens change? No problem! Scroll-select lens or load up a ton of your lenses and simply select it in your custom menu. Just like that gimbal rebalances.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I’m waiting for that day!!

Watched a few reviews of this gimbal and yours is by far the best Mark. Regarding the panorama mode in the app, I see there's a customize option. Can you tell me what options are available? I'm guessing it enables users to change the amount of rows and columns. Can the amount of overlap be adjusted? Does it support the burst/consecutive mode on the Sony cameras? I shoot astrophotography and use the feature that takes 5 consecutive long exposure shots. Would be handy if this gimbal supported those functions

Mark i had scorp-c and it was the worst gimbal that i ever used,it was very difficult to balance.I see the balancing points on this gimbal is very diffarent and thats why a better gimbal i think. The scorp-c was going to all sides while walking very smooth.All the reviews from real buyers that i read on amazon germany is writing about the same problem now.I bought it 5 months ago and afther 1 month send it back.Its looking very nice but the scorp-c have realy problems and maybe of that they now bring this one out.i like the shape of scorp,it looks very cool

[@TexpatOTG]

Another device with "built-in batteries" -- the only reason I can see for that is that it guarantees the sale of a new gimbal when the batteries fail or slowly deteriorate. Lithium batts do this -- not speculation. I like this little gimbal, and at the price would probably buy it but just consider that it would be a throw-away or could suffer from my technical ignorance from changing out the batteries myself. I have successfully changed built-ins but not a success on all devices. I wiaI will sh more people would complain about built-in batteries. Good review, I will be watching for them to show up in my area. Cheers.

I finally got the Scorp Mini, and was able to balance both my Tamron 20-40 and the Sigma 28-70 contemporary. My question is about camera connections. What port on the A7c do you use to connect to the gimbal? The cables with the TRS and TRRS attachments will not click into the ports on the camera. The only one that fits is the USBC and that gives me an error message "Check the connected device". I'm confused to say the least. The documentation is not the best.

Thanks for the reply Mark. I did manage to get most everything working. The trigger still won't start/stop recording when in video mode, but the record button on the handle does.

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.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I certainly hope this is not true. I see it's on amazon right now for $259 USD which is more expensive than the Kickstarter price of $199. But all these delays to backers is definitely not good.

[@primetime3d]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you for the comment. I love your channel. The Kickstarter project was charged in $HK. The exchange rate pushed the cost to $263 plus $7.17 for the foreign transaction fee for some backers. I have reached out to Kickstarter and Feiyu-Tech and have received canned responses that do not address the delay nor the fact that the gimbal is available for shipping by Thursday for one vendor and will be available 11/12 with one-day shipping on the Feiyu-Tech store. I think the frustration is that backers will receive their product long after it is available to the rest of the world due to the fact that FT is shipping via ship vs air. Pledges were obtained by FT in August and shipping was to start in September but current information states that a small number of units were received at Guangdong province 10/30 with estimations of 4-6 weeks for arrival in the US. Although I appreciate your review. I do not think people should back FT Kickstarter projects as you will most likely receive your product faster if you wait for arrival on Amazon. I am now suspicious of all Kickstarter projects that have been sent to influencers for review. Thanks again for the comment.

I mean the ability to for the lens and camera to balance on the gimbal. I doubt it would work with the Tamron 17-70- it’ll be too front heavy. But Arthur R seemed to use it with all ones of heavy lenses - but I couldn’t do that with my longer lenses on the ZV-E10

To anyone thinking of buying this gimbal, because they have a ZV-E10: This camera (unfortunately) is compatible only for video record and photo with the gimbal (they just answered me the email I sent). NO digital focus/zoom with any lens. And after checking other Scorp models, Dji and Zhiyun, NO gimbal is compatible with our beloved ZV-E10 to control digital focus/zoom 😓😓

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - also, if you connect a gimbal to the zv-e10, you lose eye and face autofocus. But I very rarely use gimbals connected to cameras when all I’m looking for is smooth footage. You can get the external follow focus which will allow you to control manual focus with I think is the best way to control focus on a gimbals. But good job on reading ahead of time and doing the research to make sure it has what you’re looking for. 👍

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis whaaaaat?!! No eyes and face autofocus? Do you know if that the case with all Sony cameras or just lil dougie?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

as far as I know - all of them except the ones with the new menus - a7iv and a7siii fx3.

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis well I had to write DJI and ask them, and here’s their reply in case you are interested:) “we confirmed with our senior engineer team the preliminary test results are as follows. When DJI RSC 2 uses the USB-C camera control cable, it can support the following functions. 1) Capture photo: support (please switch your camera to photo mode). 2) Start/stop recording video: support. 3) Pull focus electronically: support. 4) Trigger autofocus: support. (5) Electronically Zoom control(digital or optical): not supported. (6) aperture, shutter, ISO: support. (7) Raveneye image transmission: not supported. 2, Since the ZE-V10 camera does have not a MULTI port, so it does not support the control zoom function.” And they suggest to test out the compatibility results myself on a local dealer (which we don’t have in Greece 😅)

I have a zv-e10 with 18-105 mm lens so the lens is big and what do you think witt this setub work with this gimbal?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

no, I don’t think it would. you definitely won’t be able to balance it, and I don’t know if the motors are strong enough to pull it up - but I wouldn’t use that setup in this gimbal even if it could.

When and where to buy? Just got a ZVE10

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

there’s a link in my description- I’m not sure if it’s shipping yet

[@intrinsicimagery]

Who doesn’t love Kasey?

[@theminiphotog524]

I'm curious as to how this compares to the weebill S. If it would be good to upgrade

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

if the Weebill S is working for you - I wouldn’t switch. I’m a big fan of Zhiyun gimbals, Most of my gimbals are Zhiyun.

Can this be screwed on Ulanzi & Coman Zero Y Carbon Fiber Tripod?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it can be yes. there’s a quarter thread at the bottom
