If you bought a AK2000S in Chinese language, here is the instruction for changing it back to English:
1. Start the gimbal
2. Swipe left on the display two times
3, The screen should have 4 vertical menu items. Press the bottom one
4. The screen should now have 2 menu items, press the bottom one again
5. You should now see the English option at the top. Selects it and that's it!
Love your voice at x5 speed.
I am an ak2000s user. Mine always vibrates after I click the auto payload? I balanced it well. What happened?
Thank you very much for this great video. I was having some problems using mine but had no idea about the payload calibration feature that you explained so well. Take care.
Glad to hear this video helped :) Thanks for watching!
bonjour, super tuto . la traduction et part fois bizarre. mais dans l'ensemble compréhensible , (français) . tout est très clairement expliquer ,bravo pour avoir pris le temps . je n'ai pas ce gimbal. mais aime voir les nouveauté, cdlt Papy :)
Thank you very much Papy!
Solid and helpful review. Thank you.
Thank you Paul!
Good review. So one time balance? and does de Panasonic LUMIX S1 work on this?
Thank you! Unfortunately I didn't get to try it with the S1 and don't have one with me right now to check :( But I will be reviewing the Lumix S Pro 70-200 2.8 very soon so will give it a try then!
@@TheRealRichardWong yes keen to know that too.
@@tonyhafaka3524 Will check!
Hi, hola, tengo Gimbal AK2000s and Cámara Sony a7iii, si nos enseñas como sincronizar por cable usb, o señol bluetoorh, he tratado de sincronizar y no logro conexión, muchas gracias por tu tiempo y ayuda...
Hola Lukschile9795, hoy vi tu consulta porque a mi me pasa lo mismo, tengo la Sony a6300 y no puedo conectar por usb la cámara con el timbal ak2000s...lo solucionaste?
Hi Dear,
I have feiyutech with Canon rp so I do great balancing but when I push feiyutech camera button doesn't work with camera
Thank you. Very good review
Glad you liked it
Is there any feature or new changes that you really like about the FeiyuTech AK2000S? Or is there anything you think should be there but still missing?
I want it as light as possible, self floating maybe haha!
That was a joke of course!
@@kennethsmith3103 I want one too!!! A 1kg gimbal + camera still gets really heavy after a while.
Hi Richard, my ak2000s came with chinese as default and i can't find where to change it, re-watched your video just now looking if you talked about. Also i can't seem to use the inception mode with the gimbal horizontally, only with the camera facing up, wondering if i'm doing something wrong.
@@Matheus562 Did you manage to change the lanugage? If not i could do a little video to show you how as you are not the first one that asks this question. Will check the inception mode, but from memory you should be able to do it in any orientation.
The touch screen on the gimbal was so nice!I don't need to remember a lot of operation steps,it is very easy when you are working!AK2000S looks beautiful,I want one AK2000S even I have the AK2000~~Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the balance tips! Is this better than the Ronin-S?
Thanks! Ronin-S is quite a bit bigger gimbal with larger maximum payload than the AK2000S.
Another review! Wow you're busy. Epic stuff
haha thanks! I've scheduled (promised) total of 8 review/videos this month! So this is the 3rd. Now whether I can really get them all done is another question LOL
@@TheRealRichardWong hahah. 20 days to go! Youll get it done! ;D ... might be no sleep tho
@@KwasnikPictures haha Seriously I told myself I have to limit myself to do less reviews every month in 2020. I will probably kill myself sooner or later if I keep it like that :/
@@TheRealRichardWong yeah take it easy next year. If you need help filming let us know! 😁🎥
@@KwasnikPictures sure will do!!! :D
Hola buenas ,tengo un problema :cada vez que conecto el gimbal a través del cable para Canon ,usb a cámara 2 y luego al mini usb de Canon 80d me arroja error 70 ,si la desconecto funciona Perfecto ,alguna idea o solución ???quizás usar cámara 1 del feyutech puerto c al mini usb ??
Great review! Does anyone know where I could possibly find/purchase the longer quick release plate? My original plate was lost and I've been searching for a replacement with no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Stay safe.
How's it compare to the Weebill S? I'm trying to decide which one to get. Weebill S is on sale and close in price.
Sorry I haven't try Weebill S enough to comment on the difference
Thank you for sharing. I like Feiyu product too. Every detail really inceases the using experience. the quick release saves a lot of time to install the camera..The wooden handle reduced the weight and looks cool. I will install the lens holder before installing the camera. The service is the first think i will consider for all CE products.Feiyu is popular for its service
I love the LCD touch panel design, it is easy for adjustment. The 2 detachable ways is easier to use. The handle adopts detachable design to save storage space and make it more convenient to carry. Good Job!
please kindly help me my AK2000C language has changed to chinses and its giving me headache
Many functions and low price. AK2000S is the best choice.
All cables are not work. It keeps activating and deactivating automatically
hi richard!
.. there is a hole with magnets to hold the hex key in the grip! something must be wrong with battery specs; "manual" states 2200 mAh, but i charged in 3500 from half full. anyway, it should last for ~ 4 hours permanent use. balancing is not completely possible for the GH5 with the smallrig cage and the lens support useless. base plate NOT manfrotto compatible.
Please how can i connect with my lumix g85?
@richard wong. is it customizable? change the deadzone angle, and speed horizontally, and vertically? I know at the ak4500, it doesn't allow vertical customization.
You can choose from one of the three presets. Or you can adjust "follow speed" and "dead zone" yourself . But no individual vertical/horizontal customisation
@@TheRealRichardWong , so the software is the same as ak4500 :-( That is a big problem for me
@@HyperspeedMedia Oh that's too bad then :(
I had the same issue with the AK4000 and I can confirm it's the same on here. You can make you pan smooth as butter but your tilt and roll are still WAY too responsive. I wrote to FeiyuTech about it already with the AK4000 but it seems they only included deadzone but not tilt and roll smoothing.
I do highly recommend you guys all write to feiyutech and ask them for this if this is something you really needed. The more people request a feature the more chance you will see it in the future. :)
Easy setting, and the touchscreen is a really awesome feature
Hi, Richard. Do you think i can balance a Z6 + 24-70mm 2.8 and FTZ adaptador? Thank you!!
Hi Claudio, sorry about the late reply. Only just saw your message for some reason :( I would guess yes you can, but without a 24-70 to test myself i can't be 100% sure
I have a Sony fdr ax-53 camera with a Multi socket and I would like to control the camera from the gimbal level (recording on / off, zoom). Will it be possible with the Sony USB control cable: Type C to Multi, which is included?
I've seen that this is compatible with a D7500, will it also work with a D7200?
it should as they are very similar size and weight
Hey, could anyone tell me please how to set start and end point for motion timelapse mode? I just found videos for the AK2000, and there it's apparently done by moving the axis by hand. With my AK2000S, this is not possible due to the motors being blocked. Thank you!
Ive been wanting to buy zhyiyun weebil lab but heard so much bad stuff from build quality to the x screen of death when you turn it on and it no longer works. Ive allways used feiyutech i have the ak2000 and the g6 max which iam returning becuse its not compatible with all my lenses but a awsome little gimbal . Iam definitely getting this gimbal because of the smaller compact size and awsome build quality that feiyutech is known for. Thanks for the video.
The best tutorial of this Gimbal Richard
Thanks Alex!
Great review and advice! One question: what part of the rebalancing exercise to you have to redo when changing the focal lenght of a zoom lens.
Hi Torsten Villnow, I don't have the gimbal with me but I believe you only need to adjust the quick release plate forward/backward locking position. Having said that, the gimbal has a pretty strong motor so in most cases, you could get away without having to re-balance it , especially if you balance the gimbal with the lens in mid position to start with.
@@TheRealRichardWong I now got my gimbal :-). I mounted the Lumix G9 with the 12-60 mm lens and balanced it at 12mm focal length. The gimbal's motor is able to balance the camera also with the lens extended to 60mm. So I will follow your advice and belance it at the mid position of the lens extension, which is about 40mm.
Hola, es compatible con Canon 6D Mark II 24-105 mm??? no hay problemas con el peso???
Hi. With this Ak2000S is it possible to control AF/M or just hold focus on a Sony A7III or A6500?
oh,look at that feature,wood handld,touch screen,love it ~
I love the wood handle too. Looks and feels very nice
nice review as usual Richard thanks!
Thanks Ken!
Great review - Thank you!
My pleasure!
Got to love free products
Just came across your channel from RUclips recommendation and subb'd immediately! Thanks!
Thank you Ryan!
Thanks for the video !!! I got this gimbal to use with my Nikon Z6 but I am having trouble balancing it. I am using the Z6 with the ftz and Sigma 24mm f1.4 art lens. Do you think the setup is too much weight for this gimbal?
It should be ok. That's not really a heavy setup at all
@@TheRealRichardWongI just can't get the camera to face straight up without the eyepiece hitting the back motor and stopping it
How do you set up the follow focus motor
Hey there, basically put the belt on the lens, remove the lens holder if you have it installed, install the front bracket with the hex screw, mount the follow focus device onto the bracket using the metal stick provided, Make sure everything is tight and the belt and the gear are sticking together closely. Then install the USB cable onto the quick release plate and the follow focus. THen pretty much it. Just make sure the close focus and travel are aligned But the instruction that comes with the box has a bit more explanation about it. Then go to the 2nd menu screen and select the "+/focus" mode.
what microphone are you using in this video?
hey there, it's the RODE NT-USB USB mic. What do you think about the audio quality?
@@TheRealRichardWong sounds very clean and clear, it also sounds like you put a very small amount of reverb on the voice as well heheh
