The New & Affordable Feiyutech Scorp-C Gimbal - In-Depth Review!

[@TrendingReviews]

For anyone having problems connecting the USB Cable to the Gimbal - here are some tips to help you. FIRST, Please make sure to connect via the Type C to Type C cable (C02), and you should only plugin to the camera port on the gimbal. Then: 1). After connecting the cable, be sure to power on the Feiyu SCORP before the camera. 2). On the camera, you need to set the [Ctrl w/ Smartphone] to be off: (Network) → [Ctrl w/ Smartphone] → [Off] 3).Set "USB Connecting" to be "PC Remote": (Network) → [PC Remote Function] →[PC Remote]→[On] 4). Set "Still Img. Save Dest." to be "Camera Only": (Network) → [PC Remote Function] →[Still Img. Save Dest.]→[Camera Only] 5). Please set [Auto Review] to be "Off" when shooting timelapse video.

What is the "Track Video" function on the app? Im looking to purchase this gimbal and wondering (though im doubtful) -Does this mean you can select a subject and have the gimbal automatically follow that subject?

[@denizyilmaz8553]

can we use the wheel to change the focus on the lense ( not meaning follow focus, normal lense focus)

[@dmz75]

Thank you

[@ivangutierrez3709]

how about canon m50? the connecting cable isnt working also

[@speedracer3967]

I bought one halfway through the video!. I paused you and ordered it! I can't wait. This is going to add a new dimension to my filmmaking.

Just got mine in. Took me like 3min to balance it. MUCH easier than the Ronin SC I had. Love the features too.

[@rabbi4293]

I have bought the gimbal. But I am wondering if there is any object tracking feature in this gimbal. Let me know please.

[@JohnGilbert49]

Great tutorial! I like that you show how it works after instruction. I bought this unit and plan to use it on my Olympus E-M1 MKIII. However, this camera is not compatible with some of the automated features and that is okay. I have a couple questions. 1) My camera has image stablization-5 axile. Will I need to turn off the IBIS system? 2) I video working dogs. They will move left to right, slow or fast, and over jumps. I will be hand holding the gimbal and walking along as the dog moves. Is Mode FPV (pan/tilt/roll) the best setting to use?

[@TrendingReviews]

Thanks for your comment John! 1) What I would suggest, is do a test shot with IBIS on and off and see which works better for you? 2) Yes, FPV Mode will be the best way to get those shots with moving dogs. Some factors that might decide which mode to use, is how far you stand from the dogs to take the shots, and if you have an ultrawide lens etc etc. Trial and error!

[@davewilk3868]

Nowhere in your presentation did you mention the importance of the “motor tune” button, to be used every time the camera mass is changed as it tunes the control system to suit the camera and should sort the vibration problems experienced. Although in red in the manual it is not clear which button it means. It will vibrate initially after pressing the button, it should be ok afterwards.

[@fd_ej]

I have a small Sony ZV-1 mirrorless camera, and I was just wondering if it will work with this gimbal. I will be upgrading in the future and this review really helped clear my mind on what I’m looking for in a gimbal.

Great video!Feiyu is planning to bring a scorp mini gimbal with touch.How can you compare it to Zhiyun Crane 3m with light and white?

[@TexpatOTG]

Am sure by now you've seen the mini. Which would you choose if using same camera on both? For example a6300 with 18-105mm f4 pz. Very interested in your thoughts on this. Thanks ...

[@mahbubkhan5279]

Great video and explains it all really well. One question I had is when powering off the gimbal with the camera attached, how does the gimbal behave? Is it best to remove the camera then power off? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right to avoid damaging the gimbal. Thanks in advance.

[@TrendingReviews]

Thank you! I usually turn it off with the camera still on, but I just hold the plate so the camera doesn't dramatically swing, because the lens will smash into the body of the gimbal, and then I carefully take the camera off. I think if you try take it off whilst the gimbal is still on, it could cause more damage with the motors trying to stabilize everything whilst your making movements - if that makes sense?

[@adventureawakes]

Thank you for your review. I purchased one of these gimbals a couple of months ago. Overall it has worked well, but recently the tilt axis motor has started humming. I have also noticed that if I leave the gimbal in a stationary position (like on a table or similar flat surface), the pan axis will wander to the left about 15 degrees. Any thoughts on what might cause that to happen?

[@gaborilles13]

This gimbal is working with bigger cameras, like Sony nex vg20? Is there enough space for an old-fashioned camera shape?

[@Fokusof]

Купил такой же, отбалансировал идеально, но шумит верхний мотор, после авто настройки силы моторов, тоже самое, только когда в приложении ставлю нижнее значение мотора на 1ку, тогда почти не слышно а так вообще пипец, подскажите как у вас с шумом???

[@kevinnapier8996]

Great content!! Looks like a really great unit!

[@kjetilmedfamiliekjernsmo9330]

I'm looking into buying a gimbal for my Sony A6100. This was great information, thank you! It is unclear to me with all the gimbals I'm looking into whether I can control the zoom of the lens from the gimbal. Any idea on this? From Feiyu's site, it looked like the magic wheel could be used for this too. Any idea if that's the case?

[@CatsAndMoreVideos1]

Is this better than Scorp mini?

[@drstevenhulme]

Does this gimbal take a long time to take the camera on and off (assuming you have to rebalance each time)? Do other gimbals do this easier?

[@mindartfilms5985]

quite informative . love from INDIA

[@Necrathal]

Great review. Best on YT so far. One question tough. Can u change parameters of the camera in scorp-c gimbal directly from grip?

[@TrendingReviews]

Thank you! Can you confirm which type of parameters you're referring to?

[@Necrathal]

@@TrendingReviews I mean ISO, shutter speed and aperture. By the way is there any way to attach arm with external monitor?

[@TrendingReviews]

Ah I see - then no, you can't do that from the gimbal itself, you can only do it from the app via bluetooth. And no you can't attach a monitor to this arm unfortunately

Hello sir. I liked your review of this gimbal that's why i bought one. But i'm facing a small problem of vibrating. Do u have idea what causes this and how to get rid of it. Thanks man. ❤

[@TrendingReviews]

Hi there! The vibration happens because the balancing is not 100% correct. I had it a few times too. Have a look at the Video Tutorials here: geni.us/JuJmPAN - and watch the Gimbal Balancing video, and try to follow exactly how they show it. This is how I prevented the vibrating. Hope this helps!

[@garambullolap]

Great information thanks! One question! In the A to B mode for movement. Lets say that I am doing a time lapse. Can I make sure that movement of the gimbal takes place lets say every 23 seconds while the photo exposition time is 20 seconds? so has 3 seconds between shots to move? Thanks!

[@TrendingReviews]

Hi! Thank you for your comment :) - Yes, I would say it should be able to handle it, but I'm not sure how rigged your A7III is. Can you confirm the total weight, including the rig and lens?

[@josephkajani3703]

Can the gimbal work on a Nikon d5600?

[@antOOnRus]

Thank you for the review. Would it work with larger cameras like Canon 80D? Which is together with the lense makes 1.3 kg? The weight seems ok, I'm curious mostly about the size of the camera.

[@TrendingReviews]

Hi, no worries! Yeah the 80D should be absolutely fine. As long as the max weight with camera and lens isn't more than 2kg, I think the size of your camera will not be an issue.

[@e11woods]

Yes! I have an 80d and a Sigma 18-35 which is pretty big and it works. It's pretty hefty but it's doable

[@photo-video-kalashnikov]

I have Canon 80D + Tamron 17-50. Pretty heavy setup. The gimbal was humming and vibrating. Then I learned a little balancing trick, and now it is balanced and works smoothly. I show it at my channel btw

[@shedshow1439]

I have a canon 80D and just purchased this gimbal. None of the connector cables that came with the gimbal are compatible as the 80D has the MINI USB not the MICRO USB. I’m really upset and based on reviews and the language barrier, I don’t expect to get help from the company. In some descriptions they list the 80D amongst compatible cameras but it is missing from others. I have painfully realized that it should not be in any list of compatibility with this gimbal.

[@photo-video-kalashnikov]

@@shedshow1439 I also have 80d. True there was no compatible cable with the gimbal. However you can buy required cable in any electronics store. Though I wonder what compatibility you expect to have? Recording with button on handle, adjusting aperture from handle? I still didn't buy a cable just because I don't see much use of such connection.

The balancing is driving me nuts. I’ll balance it to where it doesn’t move when I unlock it and then not touch it at all and then unlock it a second time and it flips out and around. Nothing is changing in terms of my measurement. Everything is tight and secure too

[@simon.0898]

Shit gimbal?

[@ramzichouk4080]

Take off the lens cover before balancing and also take it off before turning on the gimbal. Or it could be that the screws are not tightened very well so sometimes a millimeter off changes the weight distribution.

[@vangelaobli]

I never trust the locks of any gimbal when balancing. I put it all unlocked then I balance. That way, all the parameters are being weighed

It’s also possible that you could have received a defective product? Always reach out to the company usually they can accommodate especially if bought off Amazon
