    1. Read product specifications / Payload.
    2. Purchase a digital scale and record weight on video before offering review.
    3. Remove all weight over max payload especially swinging straps.
    4. Practice, practice, practice before filming.
    5. Please don't offer reviews on products unless you have completed above. 🙏

    To fix the vibration and misinformation of this video... you need to open the application on your phone and calibrate the Motor Strength after you have the camera set up on it. On heavier cameras if you don't do that it will violently shake and try to take over the world.

      Well I have the same camera with ak2000 and it has the same vibration issue. Even if I choose the motor strength properly, calibrate the gimbal and balance my camera it starts to vibrate the camera. After a firmware upgrade it got fixed but now the regular position is few degrees tilted so I wouldn't buy Feiyutech again. But calibration and motor strenght might fix the problem. I just have had enough with these gimbals.

      @@sierrarambler5780 Snap - I had it perfectly balanced on the kit lens, way under the maximum weight and after 5 mins it becomes unstable or leans over and starts to shake. You do need to balance it with the camera switched on, because the kit lens extends slightly which changes the balance. I think they just have very poor quality control, some are ok and some don't work. I will never buy from them again

    Try reading the instructions, you can calibrate the gimbal on the gimbal it self you don’t need to use the app. I have this gimbal and once calibrated properly it is awesome with any thing from aSony A6000, GoPro and iPhone 12 Pro Max . It’s NOT a bad product just a review done without proper research.

    The G6 Max is an awesome bit of kit and will easily support heavier cameras than those that you are testing. I have three gimbals and this one is far the best. But you DO need to read the instructions and there are plenty of other RUclips set up videos. Mine is brilliant, is easy to calibrate and works fine - just sayin'

    You go to the menu, motor setup and you select adapting. It change the motor power based on the weight of the devise. I don't know why they don't tell this anywhere but it's as simple at that and then it works like a charm.

    You made a great mistake by first balancing a light camera/smartphone and than put a heavy camera/lens combination without adjusting the motor strength in the app. This is so stupid, complaining a product is not good, when you make yourself the wrong settings… this will not add to the reliability of your reviews, if you don’t know what you are doing.

  • @JaidervillaTV
    @JaidervillaTV 3 года назад +10

    First read the instructions
    Check the weight of your camera to be sure it’s compatible
    Take the freaking strap off because never can be balance with it!!!
    Check the Feiyu VIDEO BALANCE!!!!
    I have one using it with a Canon M6 Mark II, sigma 16mm 1.4 very heavy lens, corner smallrig (to move it more to the back and balance) and it’s working perfect!!!

    I got mine last week works like a charm for my Panasonic gh4 as I have no stabilization on the lens and the camera has none either. The 28mm lens am using even with a viltrox lens adapter attached works. Here is some Feiyutech info. "Feiyu G6 Max compared to the G6 Plus with it now being able to support maximum camera payloads of 2.65 pounds." check the combined weight of your camera lens setup. Of course make sure none of the three locks are on and its not damaged. It's amazing to use.

    I am not saying it's a poor review but merely reviewing gear that is not properly prepared. This gimbal work for me on my XT-4 Fujifilm with 16-80 lens, GoPro Hero8, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. I like this because I have a gimbal for both my 3 gears that I can carry over during my trip. There is a good video out there on youtube on how to properly balance this gimbal. And one thing more, if you are going to balance your gear take out any unnecessary thing in your camera that adds weight like the strap. when it says 1.2 kg don't go beyond that weight. I agree with some comments here, need to know more the gear, lots of video from the manufacturer on how to balance this gimbal. chao...

  • @BigAlHarpist
    @BigAlHarpist 5 месяцев назад +1

    I think the guys that answered before me have the solution on gimbal power. As an Engineer, familiar with feedback loop stability, they make sense.
    I have operated a Panasonic Lumix FZ-80, larger and heavier than a Go-Pro or a phone by far, and it operated beautifully. So, I think the review, even before we find that servo gain can be raised to compensate, is a bit limited. Need to reconsider and revise.
    I bought mine used from someone else at a cut rate who did not understand ways to improve the installation and it was a great purchase.

    You’re asking that gimbal to do more than it was designed to. Consider the Feiyutech AK2000S for your Sony camera. I own the G6MAX, AK2000S and the AK4500. They each have their role. Heavier cameras need bigger gimbals. Feiyutech makes excellent gimbals. The right tool for the job as the saying goes.

    In my experience, it is bad. I used a sony nex 6 with 18-55 oss lens. First off, i have tried it all, rebalancing, motor calibration on the gimbal itself and app. Neither work. If the strength is too low it shakes horribly but is quiet. If i set the motor strength adequately it makes a loud, droning vibration sound which is unacceptable for good audio with video. Letting it auto adapt makes the issues 10x worse. Whats odd is that it had none of these issues on day 1 but after coming back home on day 2 and switching it on, i have all these problems occuring. Idk if the balance gets thrown off due to change in temperature but if so, its already useless to me and totally impractical. Its gotta at least be reasonably rugged for my line of work like cmon

    I have questions to all those that say it works great. Please state what camera you are using and if the software in the app is listed with that version of phone. I get that there are a bunch of wires included for you to hard wire this to models like the Sony ZV1 which does not work correctly with this gimble or the other one, Zhiyun Crane M2. Both products have affiliate programs so I think some of these guys are not completely truthful. The Sony ZV1 needs the cord and in my experience has app issues but will function and take picture via the stick. There are things the app does like slow mo and will do it by itself! I mean you can get this stick to slowly move over a two hour time span and create a time lapsed movie. Those special features are app driven and I have not got that to work yet. I can use this and it fully functions in that it cycles through between video and image. It does move and do all the other stick based functions. The stabilize
