For the money it’s a very high quality gimbal with many professional features. I just got mine today and was impressed with its build quality (all metal).
I wanted to do so, but with the same cameras to exclude the fact that different cameras have different EIS capabilities. I recorded all runs with a Hero5 but they are timed differently to make it hard to compare, that's why I don't have a side-by-side video. I'll try with other cams If I can do so
Best review so far. Thank you very much! I have a question, which mode have you used on the rollercoaster? Panning Mode or Panning and Tilting Mode ? Thanks
Well, Feiyu updated the gimbal which is now called WG2X bit.ly/2XV8Wd1 Image stabilization got so much better that average users stick with that solution. Gimbals still provide a better result and I keep using it
Ich denke ich habe alle Infos verpackt, zum Lesen gibt es das Ganz auch auf meinem Blog: elproducente.com/feiyu-wg2-waterproof-gopro-gimbal-review-manual/
Why does the WG2 not keep the screen level when in corners? I am seriously considering this model except for this above “problem” and can you tell me if the battery can be charged when in use?
Does the WG2 have to perform a "detangling" spin if you over-rotate on one of the 360 degree axes (rotation or tilt)? I know some gimbals that advertise 360 degree spin, if you spin it around more than 360 degrees on usually rotation, it'll suddenly spin the camera around to untangle the internal wires.
My hero 5 picks up the noise of the WG2 gimble motor. Is this normal? And whats the solution if recording audio? I have annoying background motor noise competing with any voice audio

I have to test again in a quieter environment and will let you know in my next video. GoPro was attached to Feiyu when talked into the camera on the way up the rollercoaster, but not much movement from Feiyu required.
It does not fit too good. There'a a gap between frame and camera. Only rumors but i've seen couple photos. Nevertheless after your review and i've ordered WG2 (SICK! price), so i couple weeks i'm going to test it on my own :)
It's not a perfect fit, but the camera is mounted very tight - not moving at all. That's why I don't think it's an issue. Guess this way WG2 can accommodate several different action cameras.
According to Feiyu you can't use Hero4 or Hero3 with any backpac. You should be able to extend battery life, but I want to check with Feiyu. Haven't tested it that long to see if the batteries are charged an how long it extends.
I just bought one and I can't figure out how to turn it off. The manual explains how to power up but not how to turn it off? I feel stupid for asking but how do you turn it off???
Hi :-) Do you think i could use it with a SONY FDR3000X attached by a 3D attachement printed by me? The SONY FDR3000X weight is 114 gr.. Your advice would be much appreciated ;-) Thank you Marco
Feiyu WG2 is waterproof - but only beneficial if you are using GoPro Hero5 or 6 as they are waterproof without case. Zhiyun RiderM is better if when not using in wet environment or other cam, as you can change batteries - here's a spec comparison: elproducente.com/feiyu-wg2-waterproof-gopro-gimbal-review-manual/
Lot of thanks, I want to use it when I ride the MTBike or when I go to do Snowboard. WG2 waterproof but Zhiyun is better and more smooth.... Difficult choice haha, however, lot of thanks bro!
Teerasej Jiraphatchandej I have to check if it does. Haven’t tried as when connected it’s not waterproof. If you don’t need it to be waterproof you can go for the older and cheaper WG
Explore Horizon Feiyu states 2.5 hrs. I haven't had the chance to move the gimbal for 2.5 hrs. According to my usage it should be possible to use it for that time, but I guess it depends on the situation (wind force, motion,...)
Hello. Please let me know if Feiyu WG2 can be charged from a power bank during operation? Добридень. Підкажіть, будь ласка, чи можна Feiyu WG2 заряджати від павербанка під час роботи?
I used the adhesive attachment that comes with cameras/accessories. Clean the surface well and wipe with alcohol before mounting, then let it dry. After applying the adhesive it's best to let is sit for a while to make a better bond. Then the gopro mount clips into it. I'm not sure how you can mount that thing.
Michael Sporer you can mount it the same way as a camera. It got 2 standard photo threads, you just need the adapter. Not sure if the standard adhesive can hold the weight of cam and gimbal. I think there are larger ones available.
ah, you'd have spent more on the timelapse features...it works like a camera motion controllers....these things are as expensive (at least) as the gimbal itself....
They state 2.5 hrs. It's difficult to do a real test, as it depends on how much the gimbal has to stabilize. I get around the same runtime in normal conditions.

Brilliant review, the best one i've seen so far. Great job!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Best comment I got so far!
Wonderfully informative. Love the comparison clips too. Thank you.
I’m off to buy one to film my next adventure! 😃
Thanks, Glad it was helpful!
For the money it’s a very high quality gimbal with many professional features. I just got mine today and was impressed with its build quality (all metal).
I still like it a lot and it's definitely durable. No complaints so far
A very good review. I'm saving up to buy one of these and your review has helped greatly. Thanks again and a big thumbs up.
Hi, Thank you very much for your feedback and kind words!
check out last videos on my channel, testing new XG1 gimbal, no motor noise on Gopro Hero 5/6, finally!
A side by side comparison of rollercoaster descent would be great : with WG2 without and with only EIS
I wanted to do so, but with the same cameras to exclude the fact that different cameras have different EIS capabilities. I recorded all runs with a Hero5 but they are timed differently to make it hard to compare, that's why I don't have a side-by-side video. I'll try with other cams If I can do so
Thanks for the video! I hope to see Yi 4k+ test in 4k60 on the gimbal!
Yes, have to do that soon!
Best review so far. Thank you very much! I have a question, which mode have you used on the rollercoaster? Panning Mode or
Panning and Tilting Mode ? Thanks
Only panning mode
Hello. Thanks for this video.
Some time passed, maybe there is another waterproof gimbal, that is better than WG2 on the market?
Well, Feiyu updated the gimbal which is now called WG2X
bit.ly/2XV8Wd1
Image stabilization got so much better that average users stick with that solution.
Gimbals still provide a better result and I keep using it
@@elProducente thanks
There are 6 screws at the bottom of the unit, I bet it has the same batteries as the WG1 and can be easily replaced when needed.
replaced yes, but I meant removable in terms of easy switching batteries on the go
Great review. Does GoPRO hero 5 pick up Motor noise from the WG2? Thanks
I have to test in a more quiet environment again. I'll do it soon
Excellent review, thanks!
Thank you
der sieht interessant aus, werd mich mal n bissl einlesen. vielen dank für die vorstellung! 👌

Interesting question. I haven't experienced that so far. Need to try
Can you use a power bank to charge the wg2 while riding a mountain bike. Is it chargeable on ?
My hero 5 picks up the noise of the WG2 gimble motor. Is this normal? And whats the solution if recording audio? I have annoying background motor noise competing with any voice audio
Quality stuff!
Thanks for the review! Will it fit other cams (like Garmin Virb Ultra 30, which I have)?
If it is smaller than GoPro Hero5 is should work. But I haven't tested it or seen it.
Hey, Thanks for the review! Do you think that it will work great with Gorpo 5 Session as well?
Tal Leron definitely...even my frnd is using this gimbal with session5
Wonder if can compare against Sybrillo in future... Thanks!
Not sure about Sybrillo, I have SLICK on order.
Interesting: both campaigns were launched in 2015, hence WG2 is the first on the market.
Hatte auch Slick damals Vorbestellt. Aber bis heute hat sich da ja nicht viel getan, verfolge die Facebook Gruppe von Slick, in der auch der Gründer ist.
Außer Infos, dass seine tolle Tasche (die man nicht dazu bekommt) endlich fertig sei und bereits GANZE! 50 Slick dieses Jahr noch versandt werden, sind die Infos über Slick sehr rar gesät.
Außerdem konnte er kein Versprechen halten.
Akku ist nun Fest, statt Wechselbar und das Ding ist nur Spritzwassergeschützt. Nicht aber Wasserfest.
Werde mir vermutlich den WG2 hier holen!
Aber, mein Einsatzgebiet ist das Motorrad und CROSS.
Werden die Motoren das schaffen um es stabil zu halten?
Great review thanks. Did you hear gimbal motor noise on the hero 5 black during recording? people had serious issues with this using the WG version 1
I have to test again in a quieter environment and will let you know in my next video. GoPro was attached to Feiyu when talked into the camera on the way up the rollercoaster, but not much movement from Feiyu required.
el Producente please do. I'm interested in this also. Thank you.
Simon Crowther was there an answer to the noise of motor issue? I am also interested to know
I linked the Smart remote but now cant connect using the app. Is there a way to put it back in app mode?
Great review and great price on TomTop! Keep it up!
About review - I've seen that there are some issues with gimbal frame on Hero5? Is that true?
What do you mean, haven't noticed issues so far.
It does not fit too good. There'a a gap between frame and camera. Only rumors but i've seen couple photos.
Nevertheless after your review and i've ordered WG2 (SICK! price), so i couple weeks i'm going to test it on my own :)
It's not a perfect fit, but the camera is mounted very tight - not moving at all. That's why I don't think it's an issue. Guess this way WG2 can accommodate several different action cameras.
great feature wearable gimbal
you can use Feiyu WG2 with USB Chargher attached so you can use for more than 2.5 hr ?
is possible mount go pro 3 with BATTERY BACPAC?
thankyou
According to Feiyu you can't use Hero4 or Hero3 with any backpac.
You should be able to extend battery life, but I want to check with Feiyu. Haven't tested it that long to see if the batteries are charged an how long it extends.
Thank you very much for the video
I just bought one and I can't figure out how to turn it off. The manual explains how to power up but not how to turn it off? I feel stupid for asking but how do you turn it off???
Did you ever figure out how to power down? I'm having the same problem.
Hi :-)
Do you think i could use it with a SONY FDR3000X attached by a 3D attachement printed by me? The SONY FDR3000X weight is 114 gr..
Your advice would be much appreciated ;-) Thank you
Marco
Marco de Bigontina I doubt that you can get a tough construction. Feiyu already did some gimbals for x3000; maybe there will be a version of WG2 soon.
I hope, thank you :-) I think FDR3000X is much better than GOPRO5 ;-) I often use it for ski and climb
Marco de Bigontina both have pros and cons, hopefully Feiyu does a versio. For Sony
Hi i just bought it, is it ok that after turn on still vibration?thank you for answer
I never experienced vibration - is the camera mounted tight?
Is there a version compatible with GoPro HERO Session? (the little cube)
WG2 is compatible with Session, you get the adapterin the package
@@elProducente Thanks!
Nice!
Hi,
Zhiyun Rider M or this WG2?????
I see in a Reviews zhiyun is more smooth than WG2.
Whick you pref????
Feiyu WG2 is waterproof - but only beneficial if you are using GoPro Hero5 or 6 as they are waterproof without case.

WG2 waterproof but Zhiyun is better and more smooth.... Difficult choice haha, however, lot of thanks bro!
You can also check out Slick, just got mine - review will follow
so you mean we can’t charge WG2 while using it, right?
Teerasej Jiraphatchandej I have to check if it does. Haven’t tried as when connected it’s not waterproof. If you don’t need it to be waterproof you can go for the older and cheaper WG
el Producente Thank you, My plan is to use it shoot for a long time, no need to all time waterproof. Just need to use continues filming
How do you tell when it's fully charged?
LED light goes off
hello,
how long the battery last? thnx
Explore Horizon Feiyu states 2.5 hrs. I haven't had the chance to move the gimbal for 2.5 hrs. According to my usage it should be possible to use it for that time, but I guess it depends on the situation (wind force, motion,...)
So the only way to control the autopan time is with the use of a smart phone?
You need the app to change timeframe,
You can set start/end point and initiate the pan without app.
My device keeps moving when I turn it on. Do you know how to reset the device?
Maybe the timelapse mode is on? Or is it turning fast, like out of control?
Where can I buy the remote control?
You can find it e.g. here:
s.click.aliexpress.com/e/NjQFMJi
does it come with a camera in box?
Unfortunately no
Hello. Please let me know if Feiyu WG2 can be charged from a power bank during operation?
Добридень. Підкажіть, будь ласка, чи можна Feiyu WG2 заряджати від павербанка під час роботи?
Yes, it’s possible. Built in battery lasts quite long
@@elProducente thank you.
can you simulate surfing conditions?
I hope I can test it during windsurfing or kitesurfing soon.
Do you have a tip how to mount it best on a surfboard, how do you mount your cam?
I used the adhesive attachment that comes with cameras/accessories. Clean the surface well and wipe with alcohol before mounting, then let it dry. After applying the adhesive it's best to let is sit for a while to make a better bond. Then the gopro mount clips into it. I'm not sure how you can mount that thing.

ah, you'd have spent more on the timelapse features...it works like a camera motion controllers....these things are as expensive (at least) as the gimbal itself....
smitthone it's really a great feature, although it would be great to set a time to do the motion instead of motor speed.
muss man etwas besonderes machen damit der dreh knopf zum einstellen sich bewegt
meinst du den zum Balancieren? Einfach lösen, arm bewegen und wieder fest ziehen.
el Producente danke der Knopf hat bei mir geklemmt jetzt geht es aber wieder
How long is the battery life?
They state 2.5 hrs. It's difficult to do a real test, as it depends on how much the gimbal has to stabilize. I get around the same runtime in normal conditions.
Its not meant to be used on salt waters!!!
I wouldn’t recommend it, but I tried and cleaned it with fresh water afterwards.
