    I had tons of success with ak2000. Switched over to weebill lab and I prefer the weebill. Either way you can't go wrong.

    • @DavidZhou
      @DavidZhou  4 года назад

      Agreed! They’re both great compact gimbals, I too prefer the Weebill Lab - but either will give you great results

  • @planetearthlive5977
    @planetearthlive5977 4 года назад +1

    For the dislike part..the allen key magnetically attachable to the handle (always with you,always😊)...you can charge the gimbals with a power bank(make sure a cable length enough when you put in your pocket)and also you can charge your camera at the same time (using a gimbals usb port)...how about that one!

    • @DavidZhou
      @DavidZhou  4 года назад

      Great tip! The magnetic attachment is sweet for sure, and I like the workaround for the powerbank, but still not ideal if that's the only way to do it and you use it often for professional shoots. But nonetheless, us creators are some of the craftiest people out there!

    Here's a list of things, short and really simple,
    That I'd love to do with FeyiuTech gimbal.
    I would be a vlogger, a regular guy,
    Recording wild nature and how to make pie,
    Watching busy streets, cafés in the rain,
    Falling golden star and a starting plane.
    I'd record a seawave, shoot a snowy mountain,
    Interesting podcast, how to find a bargain,
    Practice a new language, list new coolest browsers,
    All that's possible with AK2000!

    I just received my AK2000S and what a disappointment. The AK2000S works well when hooked to an external power source. Attempted to charge the internal battery with no luck. The AK2000S acts as if there is no battery in it at all. If I want to use it I will have to get an extra long extension cord or external battery.

    Hey David
    Nice video. Difficult to find people with experience with specific gimbals. I've got my hands on a Feiyutech AK2000S gimbal for my Sony ZV-E10 camera. I can't seem to get the camera to recognize the gimbal? In Feiyutechs official video the camera just instantly connects to the gimbal. I've tried to turn on the gimbal first before the camera, but I can't seem to get it to function. The Sony ZV-E10 is on the compatibility list on the Feiyutech AK2000S, so it should work?
    Do you have any experience with the Sony ZV-E10 or any tips on how to do the connection in the correct order, or any specific setting within they camera that might prevent this?
    I've made sure smartphone control is off, and PC remote control is on and set to USB.
    I can't seem to find much info on pepole with the AK2000S gimbal and the Sony ZV-E10 :/

    How good is the follow focus on this? I used the ak2000 and the follow focus 2... it wasn't the best I had to return the gimbal. Is this more compatible now the software and motors have been updated or is it still a bit naff? Cheers for the great review though looks impressive!

    • @DavidZhou
      @DavidZhou  4 года назад +1

      The follow focus was okay, I didn’t feel much of a difference between the one that came with the AK2000 vs the AK2000S. I tend to use AF when flying on these gimbals so I haven’t put them to as much of a test as I could have. Hope that helps!

    I like your review, thanks. Two issues: the arm is attached by a nice thumbscrew in the website photo therefore no L wrench necessary. I contacted the company so their explanation is that it was not secure with the thumbscrew therefore hex screws are provided, seems odd; and second, does the unit offer pass through charging? If so then you can charge by C-type connect to a battery pack and continue using. I believe I saw another review that stated pass through charging was supported by the unit.

    Thank you very much for the excellent and complete review! Let me ask you an opinion: I bought a short time ago the Moza AirCross 2 to use it with my Canon 6D, but I returned it as it had some problems especially with the horizon alignment (maybe my 6D was too big and heavy?). Now I have a Sony A7 III and I'm thinking of buying this AK2000S; what do you think? Is it better than Moza AirCross 2? Currently this is the best the market offers (quality/price) for my Sony A7 III?

    • @DavidZhou
      @DavidZhou  4 года назад

      Robby Fontanesi hey Robby! I think the AK2000S would be more than capable for handling an A7III with short lenses like the 24mm, 50mm, and even up to the 85mm GM! I wouldn’t try anything huge like a 70-200 but this gimbal can definitely handle a lot!
      I think for this price segment this one has a lot to offer, but just in case, two other options I’d consider looking at would be the Ronin-SC or the Zhiyun Weebill S!

    • @robbyfontanesi
      @robbyfontanesi 4 года назад +1

      @@DavidZhou I've read that the Sony A7III on the Ronin SC risks touching it with the viewfinder if you have to balance it with a somewhat heavy lens, since you have to move it far back.
      I really like the second grip handle, both to have a more stable grip (as you rightly say in the video) and to make less effort. At this point though, I've had a look at the Weebill S (thanks for the advice!) and since it's more compact and the second handle is much easier to assemble and disassemble I think I'll go for this one...

    Hi, super duper review! you are great! I wanted to respond to two of your concerns: 1. Feiyu provides an allen key/wrench, cleverly attached to the arm by a magnet so it's always there; 2. for long shoots the battery lasts 8 hours and can be charged while you are shooting. I can't imagine any video shoot of a pro level that would shoot continually for 8 hours. But even so, just bring an external charger and you are good!
