Best Gimbal for Beginners | Feiyu AK2000 Setup and Review

[@TLDR_filmmaker]

That opening b-roll though! Epic!! Thanks for the shoutout!

[@christophersmith-zn2kn]

One of the best explained videos I've seen on this gimbal. I have the ak2000 it's a great gimbal but the only problem I find is now and again I get camera drift and I have to recenter the camera or keep it on lock mode.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

After 2-3 years of active use I’ve had similar issues. Can tell if the joy stick gets sticky or not. I always try to calibrate with every setup. Hope this helps!

[@christophersmith-zn2kn]

@@NatesFilmTutorials hi Nate when it comes to gimbal settings I'm not sure on a couple of things and could do with some help. My gimbal is set to default as someone recommended on youtube but not sure what the gimbal sensitivity should be wether it's high low or sort of midway and the motor strength maybe you could throw some light on this and maybe that's why my camera drifts from time to time. Cheers.

Appreciate it Lars!

[@tammysypniewski1891]

Awesome. Thanks Nate!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Thanks Happy New Year!

[@DeeBrownLTD]

Do some not come with batteries? Mine is wood on the side with 4 screws. No battery pack.

[@GearFocus]

Nice review. Keep up the good work!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Thanks man! Happy 2020

[@Worthfishing]

Thanks.I might get one soon.

[@rickadus31]

Damn me too

[@TheK9Shepherd]

Question. Have you looked at any harnesses' for this or other gimbals? I am looking at wanting to get a gimbal (at this price point) but I'd like to see if there was some add-on harness I could use to help with having to hold it for long periods of time. Even if it was a strap of some sort that had a shoulder straps. Thanks

[@Foto-fi9gz]

How do you recharge battery and what type of battery comes with it ?

[@ash2014lie]

I got mine for $170 brand new from B&H a few weeks ago... 2 hours after I bought it, it was back to full price #score 😂

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Swiping those deals! Epic

[@EdgarFreytes]

can you mount a compact camera? like a panasonic lumix?

[@MrPhilbautista]

Edgar Freytes In the list of compatible cameras, it lists the Sony RX100 line among them, so I assume it should handle yours as well, though I would think this gimbal would be overkill for your camera. But if you have several cameras with different weight classes, then no need to worry about switching them. You will have to rebalance each and every setup though, as even just zooming in and out is enough to mess up the balance and overwork the motors.

[@SHaxInNo]

What’s the name of the quick release plate you’re using? I can’t fine the one that fits the gimbal.

[@MedTHCOntario]

Wow! I can afford a gimbal now! Thanks for the great video!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Sweet! Happy 2020!

[@sgwillsphoto1]

Can you use this gimbal with a Nikon d750?

[@gurungfamilyau]

Hi thanks for the gr8 review but is it AK2000s?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Essentially it is the same gimbal in terms of operation

[@TheOneMonk]

Excellent presentation!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Thank you!

[@AJNAL777]

Love your tutorial! Easy to follow

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Thank you!

[@duasatudes2705]

Is this compatible for nikon d5500??

[@nicolasblanchet2049]

Can you use bluetooth to manually control it or program it to move a certain way?

[@Hecreoquesoypancho]

hello! great video! i want to buy this gimbal but ive seen in many videos that ppl comment their gimbal cannot handle the wight of theirs camera and lense.. i have my sony A 6500 with my sigma 16mm, you think this gimbal can handle it?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Oh yeah, I’ve put my Sony A7Siii and 24-70mm on their, which isn’t a light setup, and it works well

[@Hecreoquesoypancho]

@@NatesFilmTutorials thank you for your fast answer bro!

[@byaherongmanok]

Hi Nate, is this possible with Canon M100? Your response is highly appreciated.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

It may be a little light for this gimbal. What lens are you using?

[@despudelskern6651]

Is it possible to put the camera in vertical on the gimble?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

You could mount it if you have a cage on your camera, however there is no dedicated vertical mount for it

[@atticocrew]

can you tell me the size of the quick release plate used??

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

The gimbal takes Manfrotto 501 plates. But I attach this quick release, so I don’t have to rebalance it. geni.us/y7UGx

[@jeanettesphotographyptyltd3856]

Hi man great video. I need assistance. I am shooting with the Canon 200D. How do i set it up via gimbal to camera to to operate camera from gimbal. I have installed the app on phone. Phone sees the gimbal but nowhere do i seem to get my camera to see the gimbal for me to rec, change iso etc directly from gimbal. Can you maybe assist me.

[@bans27]

Would this work with a Canon Rebel T3i?

[@TheGreecerose]

Thanks very much for the presentation. Please tell me the mondel of manfroto plate.

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

I use these ones! geni.us/vIiU

[@TheGreecerose]

@@NatesFilmTutorials Thank again!!!

[@BambooScar]

How do you lock focus while recording with the gimbal?

[@avfc666s]

Is this compatible with a canon sx70.

[@reyn.n]

why didn't you balance the pan axis? or the last axis?

[@UncraftedLIVE]

Amazing tutorial!

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Appreciate it!!!

[@rahalati]

I did like you did @7:44 (up side down) and when held it back normal my gimbal kind of forgot which way to point ... it pointed like selfie mode and even if I double click the front bouton it stays at selfie position. As a matter of fact my gimble goes crazy whenever I hold it up side down. I do not think this gimbal deserves all the positive feedback at all

[@manchemram]

Does this gimbal works on lumix s1h with sigma 24-70mm f2.8 lens

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

I think it would. I was able to mount the 24-105mm. Although I have to slide the camera the opposite way otherwise the gimbal will hit the strap loop holes

[@manchemram]

@@NatesFilmTutorials i will give a try thank you 😊

[@LiYuanChea]

Hey man, Nice video! I have a question: I bought the AK2000 a few days ago (January 30th, 2020). I saw that other people have other modes in this same gimbal, the "rolling follow modes (HF-R, TF-R, LK-R)" but I can't have access to those modes. I have the same ones as you. Even in the full manual, you can read about these modes. Basically, you need to press one time in the power button when you are in HF, TF or LK mode and it will appear on the screen the mode with the "-R". Do you know what is going on with those modes? Thank you!

[@TheTroy0990]

When you are in HF mode, click the power button once and you have the HF-R mode.

Boa noite, irmão, espero que esteja bem de saúde! perde o adaptador que entra, a régua pode encontrá-lo, onde a câmera fica

[@larryFWD]

I watched another review of this unit and the guy gave his honest opinion which wasn't great. He highlighted the fact that the gimbal has questionable performance. Seeing your positive review, I'm a tad confused now ... could it be that he had a defective one?

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

I've used mine for nearly every shoot I've been on and its held up great! I like that it's simple and easy to use. I would recommend making sure its properly balanced and do a calibration at the start of the day. I've not really had any problems with it except the tripod feet came loose after a couple years of use. So I bought a replacement. Hope this helps!

[@larryFWD]

@@NatesFilmTutorials Thanks man

[@johnramirez4217]

Does anyone have a video showing how to make a 360 pano with it?

[@ruhdilly]

Hey man, I have an important question. I purchased the gimbal and it was great, but after using it for a bit, even when the camera is balanced correctly, and the camera is well below the weight limit, it slowly starts to lose the horizontal horizon and tilt. I have to turn the gimbal off, then back on, and keep doing so every time it does it. I am not sure if its software, or if there is another issue with it that can be solved

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

Hey there! A couple things that come to mind, here are some settings you can try out. First, you can adjust the payload settings, so the camera can more accurately balance your camera. Secondly I'd recommend calibrating your gimbal to your setup before you start filming. On an off note, I had the gimbal pan slowly and drifting off, this sometimes happens when the joy stick is slightly stuck, so I have to pull back on the joystick. Hope one of these solutions helps!

[@BambooScar]

I realized my lighter camera struggled with this and no issues with my heavier 5D mark II or iii cameras

[@Sr_iRL]

@@BambooScar would you recommend this for a 6D Mark ii?

[@Bossse]

mine seems to start moving by itself as soon as I start moving the gimble

[@NatesFilmTutorials]

This happens to me when the joystick slightly sticks and pans the gimbal. You can also try calibrating the gimbal before shooting.

[@Bossse]

@@NatesFilmTutorials thaxs ill check that out thaxs again

[@antoniotabacu3643]

@@Bossse did you keep using this gimbal? do you recommend it?
