I Replaced My DJI Ronin S With THIS Gimbal [2020 Gimbal Footage]

[@SamBischof]

Which gimbal are you guys using or considering for this year?? Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe out there!

[@AlexTML]

What camera and lens did you use to record the cinematic? :)

[@SamBischof]

@@AlexTML Canon 5D Mark IV with a 24-70 2.8 Canon lens. Not sure if I said that and you are trolling or if I forgot to say haha!

[@africanhistory]

ak2000

[@HalesN9]

did you see some Jitters , jump or bad vibraion .. thank you

[@SamBischof]

No not at all. I use this gimbal all the time. There’s example footage in this video as well. Thanks for watching!

[@africanhistory]

i saw it, should have edited it out

[@michaelscottbogdonoff4539]

Any ideas on hard-shelled cases for travel. Feiyutech seems to not provide an accessory case like the Ronin. I have the dual handgrip, gimbal essential kit that I would all like placed within the same case instead of having them separate.

[@SamBischof]

One of my least favorite things about that gimbal for sure! The case is a pain and I haven’t been able to find a 3rd party case that’s any good. I end up just breaking it down and packing it in a bag with cushioning around it. Thanks for watching! I just released a new video on the Zhiyun Crane 2s as well n

[@corsiniRicardo]

Very nice video, it made me take a decision.

[@SamBischof]

Glad I could help my friend! Thank you for watching!

[@TheAngryMarmot]

Does the ak4500 have the active track function for motion control? Thank you

[@StudioSage]

I wish they made another ring shaped gimbal that actually made sense ergonomically. Shoulder width, displaces weight evenly, tilt, flip, and pan without the very oddly heavy and uncomfortably shaped single handle.

[@SamBischof]

I agree! The single handle is awkward to use over long periods of time. Thanks for watching!

[@iz5442]

hey sam, there is something about feiyutech gimbals that makes the video feels super smooth. i often warp my vids on my zhiyun but on the feiyutech its always stable pre warp. i love it, i wonder if im doing it wrong or feiyutech is on another level.

[@SamBischof]

I agree with you! It has been a fantastic gimbal to use. I’ll be releasing a review of the Zhiyun Crane 2S soon. Stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching!

[@iz5442]

@@SamBischof cant wait! if you were to get your hands on the new ronin RS/RSC line able to make a comparison? i’ll be eager to watch, the supersmooth feature looks cool.

[@SamBischof]

@@iz5442 Ill probably pick up the Ronin RS this year sometime. The new review of the Zhiyun Crane 2S is live now :)

[@TishawnFahie]

Great video-be careful purchased this gimbal brand new- works great but the included focus motor died while on a shoot. Apparently it’s a thing..

[@SamBischof]

Interesting! Haven’t run into that issue yet. Thanks for watching!

[@TishawnFahie]

Sam Bischof not a problem seriously your Video is good keep up the great work!

[@valkyrievic]

I’m more to performance too. But is this beast ak4500 can work to Nikon d7100?

[@SamBischof]

It would work no problem with the d7100. The motors are super powerful. I like it way better than my Ronin.

[@valkyrievic]

@@SamBischof Thank you!

[@SvenVee]

Great comparison review dude. I use the Zhiyun crane 2 myself, but defo interesting stuff to hear!

[@SamBischof]

Thanks for watching! I used to own the Zhiyun Crane 2 as well. Also a good gimbal.

[@TheFilmmakingChannel]

I also used to own the Crane 2. Sold it to get the AK4500.

[@usernamehandle]

Hey I'm about to purchase one of these TODAY for a Sony a6600. Love that you made this video. But can I ask some questions about the Feiyu app? I've seen a lot of comparisons between Zhiyun and Dji apps. Zhiyuns are not only confusing, but issues with the tracing and force follow are terrible comparatively. lol this is a huge ask but would you mind comparing them and getting back to me? Seems like I should do Feiyu tech, but the app scares me. Thoughts?

[@usernamehandle]

Also totally subbing dude! So difficult to find good camera channels you can trust, actually try to be informative. AND are entertaining? Nice

[@SamBischof]

Hey man! Really appreciate the sub and the support. Glad you found this video useful. To be totally honest, I've used the Feiyutech gimbal on so many shoots and never once opened the app. You can change all the settings from the menu on board the actual gimbal. The app is totally usable, it's just not amazing. But I've honestly found no reason to use it. I've also owned the Zhiyun gimbals and this is much better. Hope that helps. Thanks!

[@usernamehandle]

Sam Bischof Ahh alright! Thought I'd ask but realistically... hard to admit to myself but, I probably won't use the app much either. Hopefully it's very gucci

[@TexpatOTG]

The app doesn't work for shooting in 24 fps with my gimbals only 30 fps. But honestly I hardly ever use the app because everything is available on the handles. I have old models, but you would even have more on-gimbal controls on the newer AK series gimbals.

[@usernamehandle]

The TexPat in Saigon Thanks for the info. Damn that sucks. I'm sort of obsessed with 24p. Maybe unhealthily. Good to know

[@kellykirschenman8853]

Hay, I use the AK4500 and it's amazing. I did get a Pelican case for traveling. Another thing I pickup is another set of batteries, just reload and go. As you said DJI ripoffs other companies that has better products. One other thought is that DJI to seems comes out with new products to saturate the market. As the next ¿¿¿(BEST)??? thing that can't live without. Or can you? Keep up the great work. Cheers

[@SamBischof]

Hey thanks for watching and for the thoughtful comment! I agree the AK4500 is far superior to the Ronin S. Pelican case sounds like a great idea as well as the extra batteries.

[@zoltanbereczki3273]

Hi, Does it work with an EM1 mk II? Is it any flaw with Olympus cameras? I would like to use it with my EM1 II for filmmaking but before investing into it I would like to be sure that I am not throwing out my money :) There is no Olympus camera on the compatibility list. You did not have any issue with you EM1X? Thank you in advance!

[@mattmulvihill]

Great video! What do you use to edit your videos?

[@SamBischof]

Hey Matt, sorry for the late reply. Your comment went to spam for some reason. I do all my editing in Premiere Pro. Thanks for watching man, I appreciate the support!

[@mattmulvihill]

Sam Bischof ah man I hope YT doesn’t consider me spam lol. Thanks for the response!

[@TexpatOTG]

I have 2 Feiyu gimbals. Feiyu SPG for smartphone that died this month, and an a2000 with handle kit. The a2000 hasn't had a problem. I don't use their app, it is awful. I probably would look for alternatives to Feiyu Tech before I bought another one. The SPG was a real disappointment. I think both are probably pretty good ... as was your comparison.

[@SamBischof]

Thanks for watching! Outside of the app, I have actually been really happy with the AK4500. It works great. But I can't speak for the smaller gimbal options as I have not tested them.

[@TexpatOTG]

@@SamBischof I will take a serious look at it when I upgrade from my a2000. Thanks

[@daf5162]

Thought it was going to take off drone style lol

[@SamBischof]

Haha the part where it started spinning all wack?

[@TimGalloVids]

How many puppies are there.... there are even pupped puppies, popped puppies? the stabilized pupped puppies... and scoobie doobies...

[@SamBischof]

So many puppies. This is one of the best.

[@MrsCap2]

But Feiyu app is so bad !! 😩

[@SamBischof]

I can’t argue with you there! But to be totally honest and you don’t need it and I literally never use it. You can do everything you need from the gimbal menu itself.

[@MrsCap2]

@@SamBischof I am agreeing ! I usually don't use the app or very rarely as it was not a good experience. When you shoot on the go, I don't think you need to use the app. I have the weebill lab as well but I am thinking to get something stronger as this ak4500 or ak4000 or crane 3S. I also used for a shooting last week the dji ronin S it was catastrophic for me, I switched back to weebill.

[@SamBischof]

I have a DJI ronin S as well and I am starting to actually hate it. It craps out all the time with the weight of my camera and isn’t as steady as the AK4500

[@corsiniRicardo]

@@SamBischof I'm looking for something steady!
