Had mine for about 6 months and it paid off immediately doing different project. Got me through a lot. I agree with the cons you mentioned, although you do get used to it
actually what was "saved" me from the beggining it was a advice to let the powers, change on the app, to lower numbers like 4 or even lower, it will never shake anymore, try it ;)
I just got the Scorp with the focus motor specifically because I wanted to be able to use the zoom on a gimbal. However it’s VERY limited. The motor has plenty of power, but it doesn’t work with smaller diameter lenses that require more torque because its design makes it impossible for it to press against them hard enough to prevent it skipping gears. This means I have to use a lens that weighs 650g (Fuji 15-55 f2.8) instead of my standard 300g video lens (18-55 f2.8-4). And no matter how carefully you calibrate the zoom start and end points, it always stops a little before, so you lose a couple of mm of the lens’ range. It would probably work ok with the 18-120 f4 motor zoom lens as that requires much less force to operate the zoom ring and its weight is half way between the other two lenses.
I tried vortex mode on the battery with less than 50% and it didn't spin as intended and the battery plummeted to a single yellow light but after switching to the pan mode it reverted back to the almost 50% charge. Weird. If the battery is not that high it wouldn't do the other modes properly. My setup is a canon Eos m with Nikkor 28mm f3.5, fairly light than your setup.
Excelente video. ¿en que calidad máxima de video te deja grabar sin perder el enfoque al ojo en tu camara sony a7III? Lo pregunto porque con mi ronin s lo maximo que me permitía grabar sin perder el enfoque al ojo es en 1920x1080
No matter what lens I use on my A7 IV or how balanced it is, the motors start shacking and vibrating so that most of the time it is unusable. I think I will give it back.
hi I've bought the Scorp C gimbal, paired with my Fujifilm XS-10, but I'm having problems with the button to shot/start/stop video. I connected the gimbal via USB but the red button doesn't work for that purpose, neither fullway nor halfway pressure on it. I've already updated the firmware to the latest release on both the gimbal and the camera, but nothing seems changed! Anyone with the same or similar issue? tips to fix the problem? Thank's
Recently purchased this gimbal. Was wondering what your process was for powering off the gimbal was? How does the gimbal behave? Presume the camera just stays balanced. Thanks in advance
Hello I just purchased the Scorp C and I’m having trouble balancing. I tried two different combination. Canon 80d w/ Sigma 18-35 and Panasonic G7 w/ Sigma 18-35. Both combos are under the weight limit. Is the sigma 18-35 too front heavy to balance correctly? Any suggestions?
It’s possible the front end might be too heavy, a solution would be to buy some counter weights which can fit in the hot shoe, or move your place forward in your camera.
It might be too long. I know the Scorp mini has a maximum lenght of the lens, I'm not sure about this one. If I'm not mistaken, the Sigma is a dslr lens, so you're probably using some sort of adapter which makes it even longer.
It’s an internal battery. You can’t replace it, you can recharge it using the usb c port. Otherwise if you have battery issues you’ll have to contact Feiyutech
Hello, do you have any idea how long the batteries can last over time? Not being able to change them after a lot of use could be a real problem, don't you think? Thanks
I couldn’t give you a lifespan for batteries as it’s not my expertise, but basing it off battery banks that I own, I’ve used a branded battery bank for two years now with no issues or perceived significant depletion.
Is it not balanced correctly? It could be the motors switching off to avoid burning out. Other than that, try the app to see if there are any settings for it or contact Feiyutech for support!
Is the scorp c working with the Tracking module and the focus motor together? I couldn't find any video to it. Their website writes, that after a firmeware updated the gimbal is compatible. But is it actually working
Not compatible in what way? Controlling functions on your camera or weight? If it’s not m compatible by weight/size of your camera I wouldn’t bother wasting your money. If you end up buying it and it balances your camera but doesn’t function with the record button etc, I’d leave that decision to yourself

You should have bought it from a reputable local seller or Amazon in that case. Buying things from China comes with a large risk. Shop local, even if it is more expensive as you can resolve issues like this.
@@ChrisWilmshurst Thanks. I've been on their website and the smartphone holder they have is for G6/G6 Plus/SPG 2, so very confused. Thanks for your help anyway.
@@pentcovechronicles5271 If you buy this store.feiyu-tech.com/collections/scorp-series-accessories/products/arri-rosettes-expansion-accessory you should be able to mount any compatible arri rosette phone holder
Not quite sure why you think this is heavy, it’s one of the lightest gimbals on the market. The battery will be bad if you haven’t balanced the camera correctly as the motors will be trying to compensate the axis that are not balanced

Good Content! Keep Going!!

Ever got this problem fixed? I’m running into the same problem with my fujifilm
You're probably top heavy or you haven't used the App to give the motors the proper power.

It doesn’t work with Fuji via USB-C. You only get start/stop with the other cable that connects to the electronic remote socket on the camera.
Would this work with the canon eos rebel t5 with the regular 18-55 mm lens ? (I’m a beginner photographer)
It may do, you might need to add a small counter weight. I’d go for something like a. Dji rs gimbal to be on the safe side
Recently purchased this gimbal. Was wondering what your process was for powering off the gimbal was? How does the gimbal behave? Presume the camera just stays balanced. Thanks in advance
I read in another review that the operator holds the camera steady and powers off the gimbal. Then removes the camera.
Do you think that will work with Panasonic cameras specifically with G95 model
I think it should, it all depends on how large your lenses you’re going to be using on it are.

My d3200 body is about 1.6kg plus lens maybe another kg too heavy ?
I don't think d3200 Nikon is 1.6kg... it's about 500g only
Sir my scorp mini always shutting in power saver mode. How can i removed that? Or how can o adjust it? Help me please sir. 😢😢😢😢

Ahhh i see. Okay sir. Thank you so much sirrr.

I’ve long given this away, so I’m afraid I can’t help you
@@ChrisWilmshurst okay
Hey Chris I'm a beginner videographer honestly just started watching a few videos. Would this Gimbal work with the Sony ZV-E10
It absolutely would do it’s great for smaller cameras
Can the gimbal control the electrical Sony PZ lenses (18-105 PZ) (zoom function)?
Unfortunately no longer have the gimbal or that lens to test for you!
@@ChrisWilmshurst thanks for your answer. Greetings from Germany.
Weebill s or Scorp C?
What would you choose?
Dji ronin!
My gimbal is vibrating crazy I only have it for like one month I have tried reaching out to the company and they are not responding to my emails
Is it balanced correctly? If it’s vibrating it’s either incorrectly balanced or your load is too heavy
Would this work with a canon rebel sL1?
It should do yes, the rebel is quite a small camera if I’m thinking correctly.!
Not compatible with my camera, will it still work?
Not compatible in what way? Controlling functions on your camera or weight? If it’s not m compatible by weight/size of your camera I wouldn’t bother wasting your money. If you end up buying it and it balances your camera but doesn’t function with the record button etc, I’d leave that decision to yourself
Is it possible, and even make sense, to use Scorp C with smartphone?
Thanks and great video!! :)
You could probably do it if you add weights, but honestly it would be best to buy a phone gimbal
@@ChrisWilmshurst yeah! makes more sense. Thanks a lot ^^
Would the cannon 70D work???
It should do!

Hey Chris! Will it work on a canon r10 with ultrasonic 100mm lense
I’ll be completely honest. I haven’t a clue what camera that is 😅 but as long as it’s smaller than a mirrorless camera it should work fine
Does this come with a smartphone holder?
Mine did not unfortunately, but you could pick one up separately.
@@ChrisWilmshurst Thanks Chris. Can you please share where I can get the smartphone holder? I'm new to this. Thanks in advance
@@pentcovechronicles5271 If you check out Feiyu-Tech's website they have a lot of accessories for the gimbals there.

@@ChrisWilmshurst even after the balance,the gimbal starts turning off suddenly,long story short,I send it back and im gona get DJI Ronin SC.
@@djsinny5186did you get RSC? If so how is it? Is it a good gimbal in 2024?
hey,I didn't, but there is a difference in quality for sure. Ronin is professional, this one is cheap version@@sameerhyder14
@ChrisWilmshurst will it work for Canon Rebel T7?
