Brandon Petrykowski oh that‘s cool! I‘ve got the zhiyun crane v2 and whenever i accidentally hit the camera, the gimbal is confused for like 0.5 sec, so i was kinda worried you would destroy the motors in this video^^
Philipp Erdmann Oh! Interesting! Yeah this little guy doesn’t get too upset unless you rotate something past it’s balance, then it trips out. Won’t hurt the motors, just drains the battery and looks stupid flopping around 😂
A tip for everyone using gimbals for the first time - take your time and balance the camera on gimbal really precisely. It's the key to getting smooth footage and not overheating the motors. I see that in this video the camera was not balanced correctly. You know it's balanced when you can put the camera in any position and it will stay there.
I watched this video a few months back. I liked what I seen and the price was very agreeable with me. So I bought one. Came back to say I LOVE it. It is a great piece of equipment and has taken our film work to another level. There are quite a few settings and functions so watch a few "how to" videos before you just throw it on the gimbal. Great investment and great quality. Thanks so much for introducing me to this. Also want to add, for those debating this purchase, I am using a Canon 7d mark ii with a 50mm or 18-55mm. Still having a little trouble balancing with a 24-105mm (a little heavier) but give me time. These things are a learning process. lol. But it works well with a pretty heavy camera.
your audio levels are very very very inconsistent, please try to mix it better in future videos, volume is on max when i'm listening to you, and then there's some sound fx that comes on for 2 seconds and is 3 times as loud, or a video clip that is also much louder than your voice, makes it very hard to follow. Thanks for the review
Lol the Roxant Pro is so horrible. I had zero success with that as well. The Yelang s60t is better ($60), but I'm definitely ready to step up and get some gimbal shots.
Sounds like there is a controller inside from basecamelectronics. you could hook up to a pc and use their GUI to change parameters and tweak PIDS and stuff
You have stabilization on in your camera settings? Should turn that off so applying lens distortion doesnt do wonky things with the footage and ruin and dense point clouds or motion track solves
Great video.... Wanted to put some hidden constructive criticism where hopefully noone will see. From creator to creator, you should put some sound blankets in your main room, the echoy sound is distracting. I learn from other youtubers so I am not saying I am perfect by any means. Otherwise, this was a great review and I wanted to thank you...I bought it
Marfoogle Watutu News That’s awesome man! Thanks for the feedback, the video was just for funnsies, had no idea it would get this many views. Check out my more recent video about the motorcycle. Spent a little more time on this one... less background echo 😂👍 Cheers!
Thanks for the info! Looking at something to help balance out my video shots. This may be a bit bulky for what I need, but gives me a good perspective of what to look for. Thanks again!
Wow, I gotta say I am quite impressed. It's not perfect, but it's really good for the price and I'm highly considering buying this and doing a review on it as well haha. Great Video, and I'm glad I found your channel. Keep it up! 👌🏾👌🏾
👋 Hey guys! Before you 🏃 to the comments... Just know that this was filmed awhile ago and tech/prices have changed since then. I’ve seen this Gimbal and others like it run for $100!!!! I still feel this is a BARGIN for what you get. 👍Hey just wanted to clarify! Thanks for watching!
You didn't throw it around nearly enough, try dropping it off the table end once or twice? Maybe onto hard concrete to show it who's boss? If that doesn't bust it, a few well placed drop kicks might send it on its way...
Ross Cooperstein Hey! It is a little tricky to get balanced but all gimbals are... Afi posted an instructional vid for how to set it up. ruclips.net/video/m61Osowf5WQ/видео.html
For the price I’d wait and spend a bit more. Idk if its how you're walking or what, but it doesn't seem very smooth compared to slightly higher priced dslr gimbals.
The video quality is good, but dude you need to work on audio... Granted I had my volume up a bit, but you need to not cut out the audio in quiet moments like you did in the beginning, it's extremely distracting. I think a filter for the noise would've done better. That said, content was good! Enjoyed the video and I'm trying to budget in a gimbal for myself so thank you for bringing this to my attention!
A couple of points. Firstly for production value you might want to consider speeding up the opening of your products. In this video it was painfully slow. My second point is you don't spend enough time testing the gimbal to demonstrate its strengths and weaknesses. Finally a $400 dollar gimbal is not inexpensive. I found the Zhiyun 2 for $560 and it is by far a better gimbal.
This was funny lol, and wow awesome I didn't think it would be that good of a stabilizer , do you think this compares to a drone ? ... I just tried out the steadicam, and the one I got didn't work well .. so I'm contemplating on getting this .. can you move the camera up and down as well as left and right
Obviously you are doing stuff and shouldn't let people who don't know what they are talking about judge, but a big thing is when you look at the camera, look at the lens not the screen as it makes an awkward feel when you talk to the viewer.
Hey there! Absolutely, Pros, CHEAP, Great size and weight capacity, well equipped control features and programing, smooth motors, easy to balance. Cons, CHEAP lol, A little heavy especial when using a large dslr & lens (but a light weight mirrorless solves that), control positions are funky, doesn't have a quick detach for gimbal & handles.
I posted a few pros and cons about the gimbal. If you're looking for a cheap alternative check out the IVATION PRO STEADY, I recently posted a video about it. Gimbal are expensive and take a long time to setup.. so I bought an alternative that allow me to get setup for my shots quickly
oops I thought I saw cheapest in the title Ebay has zhyiun crane gimbal. 189.00 and you can only act dumb so many times before people start to believe it to be true!
My bad...i mistakingly read cheap in the title
Cheapest :D
Yeah me too.
exactly like what
For that price you can buy the zhyiun crane gimbal.
Patrick C how is that cheap
7:35
"make your videos smooth."
:: sees super jittery footage ::
you get what you paid for.
As a gimbal owner,
watching you rotate the camera by hand while the gimbal was on hurt so much :D
Philipp Erdmann This gimbal allows you to set the camera direction by hand! 👍 awesome!
Brandon Petrykowski oh that‘s cool! I‘ve got the zhiyun crane v2 and whenever i accidentally hit the camera, the gimbal is confused for like 0.5 sec, so i was kinda worried you would destroy the motors in this video^^
Philipp Erdmann Oh! Interesting! Yeah this little guy doesn’t get too upset unless you rotate something past it’s balance, then it trips out. Won’t hurt the motors, just drains the battery and looks stupid flopping around 😂
Philipp Erdmann not to forget that he didn't even fucking balance it
brushless motors can't be destroyed by manual rotation of them, because they work with magnetism and there is nothing that touch inside them.

MidWest UnderGround Videos Awesome! Thanks for the return comments! 👍👍
Legend has it that the screwdriver will return for its revenge...
Good job
Came to find a gimbal, stayed for the personality
I'd buy it... great video man! keep em coming.
Thought you already had a few thousand subscribers lol. Had to do a double-take! You just earned another sub!
Excellent vid. Funny, dog is awesome with the consolation.
Thanks! Yeah, he’s my buddy lol
AFI for the win, ha. Also one of my favorite songs by them, good choice.
Unmasked Media Productions 😆👍
Wow it's more expensive then my camera lol.
If you're looking for a cheap alternative check out the IVATION PRO STEADY, I recently posted a video about it.
Dude why are you opening this thing so aggressive
But video is amazing keep it up
luki viji I guess I’m just an aggressive guy! 😉😂
He’s not tho calm down

Thanks for the review
For a video maker. The audio was very bad. Why use the camera for audio? Just Awful.
hahahah the AFI reference made my day!
just purchased a YELANGU S60T waiting to get it in the mail, trying that out, then definitely interested in this! Great Video
I have a review and test footage up on my channel on the s60t. Its my newest video.
its good
Holding it that way is great, we can now all see what your crutch sees!
Watching this after unsuccessfully trying to make the Roxant pro work ...
The life of Jose same
Same boat. Need to recoup some funds from some other purchases, but it's now on the list I think
Lol the Roxant Pro is so horrible. I had zero success with that as well. The Yelang s60t is better ($60), but I'm definitely ready to step up and get some gimbal shots.
BRUH!!!😂😂😂
Lmao that's crazy because same here bud
Sounds like there is a controller inside from basecamelectronics. you could hook up to a pc and use their GUI to change parameters and tweak PIDS and stuff
bro you are clutch I needed this
Why did you leave a link to a graphics card in the description 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Sehr cooles Teil und ein tolles Video!
New videographer here. Thanks for the info and for sharing. Subscribed.
You have stabilization on in your camera settings? Should turn that off so applying lens distortion doesnt do wonky things with the footage and ruin and dense point clouds or motion track solves
Gimbals are SO expensive.. I only use them when I absolutely need to. I can't wait for a gimbal that can balance itself lol
Great video....

Why'd you stop? You're a good RUclipsr. Should bring the channel back.

You make me want to give this a try
I needed this video. Thank you
Would be very interesting, which of the vintage cams is your favorite and why. And maybe a little recommendation
im your 500th subscriber!
I own an xg7 the film camera he used to demonstrate, and it's relatively light compared to a minolta xd11 or a pentax asahi
Hi great review 🙂 but whats the battery life like for it ?
Claire Devine Hey! So the longest I’ve used it continually was about 35-40 mins and it still had juice.
i dont know whats cooler, your house decoration, or your dog...
"The throttle neeeeehhhhhhaaahhhhhaaaahhhhaahhhh" LMFAO
Come on, I got a zhiyun Crane V2 for 399$ new on ebay, and that‘s a waaaaaay better Gimbal, and nowadays it‘s even cheap on amazon
It's the same price on Amazon...just looked
Awesome video man.. and great review..
👋 Hey guys! Before you 🏃 to the comments... Just know that this was filmed awhile ago and tech/prices have changed since then. I’ve seen this Gimbal and others like it run for $100!!!!

Looks like your microphone is also cheap
You mean “sounds” like? 😉
Brandon Petrykowski i promise you you will become famous
not as bad as the audio mixing
Lmao and it sounds like you're a hater. @Maamoun Garbaa
Maamoun Garbaa hater
Hey man, thanks for the video... But have you actually tested it with a DSLR and lenses? It doesn't look like it could hold the weight? cheers mate.
Gavin John AFI shows it able to hold up to a 5D. The footage I shot was with a 60D/Sigma 17-50
It is supports up to 1.7 KG/3.74 LBS camera
Nice video. I like the content. Keep it going
Defiantly good for someone who’s on a budget but needs a stabilizer
You didn't throw it around nearly enough, try dropping it off the table end once or twice? Maybe onto hard concrete to show it who's boss? If that doesn't bust it, a few well placed drop kicks might send it on its way...
Brandon, great video! i went and purchased this item but can't seem to get it in balance. Were you having problems when you first opened it?
Ross Cooperstein Hey! It is a little tricky to get balanced but all gimbals are... Afi posted an instructional vid for how to set it up. ruclips.net/video/m61Osowf5WQ/видео.html
This was pretty good
Cool vidéo ! You deserve more subs
Great review, I'll definitely subscribe!
Is your gimbal still working fine after all this months? I like it but not sure about durability
Diverso Producciones It sure is! We use it almost every week!
How do you see what your looking at
Love the video and even better that it's a fellow E90 owner lol
Josh Troche Hey! Right on!!
For the price I’d wait and spend a bit more. Idk if its how you're walking or what, but it doesn't seem very smooth compared to slightly higher priced dslr gimbals.
This fcken legend actually can go somewhere with his reviews. Amazing vibe and content produced! Keep it up brah
How does this guy only have 672 subs! Everyone subscribe cuz these vid are super high quiality and are AMAZING. Props to you man.
Thanks man! Means so much!!!
Nice review bro
Thumps up
Great video man. But how do you charge the batteries?? Just got mine yesterday
GoonCake Hey! There’s a micro USB port on the rim of the battery cell. Charge it like you do a phone 👍 green light goes away when charged.
Wow thanks for the quick reply! Thanks!
GoonCake Yeah man! Hope you enjoy it! I love mine!
wow great built quality
I'm sorry for my ignorance ... but it get balance itself when you turn it on?? (as i saw in video) or did you put it previously in balance manually??
The video quality is good, but dude you need to work on audio... Granted I had my volume up a bit, but you need to not cut out the audio in quiet moments like you did in the beginning, it's extremely distracting. I think a filter for the noise would've done better. That said, content was good! Enjoyed the video and I'm trying to budget in a gimbal for myself so thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Your adorable dog just got you a sub
how's the battery life on this? Do you have any pro's and con's now that you may be able to list bit more?
If you say past first 2 minutes your patience level is mastered
Pipe Inc MY patience level is mastered from not deleting your comment 😂
Budget is as budget does.
AFI trigger alert!
Great job
"isn't AFI the name of a rock band?" and then the song hahaha nice
Would you recommend this for music videos? Or do you think there is another motion stabilizer at a less inexpensive price?
A couple of points. Firstly for production value you might want to consider speeding up the opening of your products. In this video it was painfully slow.
My second point is you don't spend enough time testing the gimbal to demonstrate its strengths and weaknesses.
Finally a $400 dollar gimbal is not inexpensive. I found the Zhiyun 2 for $560 and it is by far a better gimbal.
That minolta takes some pretty nice footage! But im wondering how it would look color graded?
What the name of this gimbal where can I buy this one
I was going to count howmany milllion subscribers you have.............couldn't believe the number there!!!
Your videos look soo proffessional.
+1
low key roasted him
But they sound as amateur as you can be.
thats not professional? no offence to the dude, at most looks like a dude with 50k subs.(btw i didn't look correct me if I'm wrong)
I fell like these guys are just baiting for comments are subs I've been seeming comments like these on every video lol
Would it help if you put the handles on the top? For your style of shooting.
you should try the handles on an angle
Nice video. You are supposed to balance the gimbal with your camera before you turn it on and use it, or else the motors over work and will break.
Ethan Lundy Correct you are!
did not know this, thanks!
Would a set up like this work ok with a canon XA20 or would the camera be to heavy for the gimbal
fun review thanks, video doesn't seem to be that smooth though...
Can this work with a canon t5? And also, how do you balance your camera before turning I️t on?
KG Visualz It sure will! I’ve used the T6 and a 60d on it. Here’s a link to AFI’s set-up video ruclips.net/video/m61Osowf5WQ/видео.html
Thank you 💯
Very interesting!
Nice! Are you still using this? I just started looking around for a cheap gimbal.
This was funny lol, and wow awesome I didn't think it would be that good of a stabilizer , do you think this compares to a drone ? ... I just tried out the steadicam, and the one I got didn't work well .. so I'm contemplating on getting this .. can you move the camera up and down as well as left and right
Hey! Yeah not a huge fan of weighted steadicams. Yes! It does full pan/tilt. I love this little unit!
400th sub yeeee!!
Do you have to charge the battery? It almost looks like AA batteries?
Great video ! Thank you for this :)
Can you charge this overnight. I know it says 5-6 hours
Are you selling any of your vintage cameras?
Obviously you are doing stuff and shouldn't let people who don't know what they are talking about judge, but a big thing is when you look at the camera, look at the lens not the screen as it makes an awkward feel when you talk to the viewer.
Does anyone else see all the god damn cameras!! this man has at 2:55
Great vid man, culd u give me a quick pros and cons about the gimbal
Hey there! Absolutely,
Pros,
CHEAP, Great size and weight capacity, well equipped control features and programing, smooth motors, easy to balance.
Cons,
CHEAP lol, A little heavy especial when using a large dslr & lens (but a light weight mirrorless solves that), control positions are funky, doesn't have a quick detach for gimbal & handles.
I can help you with that. Pros - it is cheap. Cons - It is cheap.

Are you able to put the FeelWorld 5 inch Monitor on this with my sony a7 3?
what do you mean? the footage at the end is shaky as hell
This gut only has 1.1 % subscribers of the watch count on this video alone! INJUSTICE! I subscribed
Jesse Saranow 😂 thanks bro! Follow my Instagram too!
I think u need to PID tune your gimbale on BCG software .
Jahanzeb Khan Oh! I’ll look into it 👍
Get video but one suggestion dude maybe a boom mic for better audio it kinda takes you out of how good and informative the video is at parts.
Opinionated Nerdz Entertainment Good advice! Check out my newest vid, fixed the audio issue...
Would you be able to attach the handles to the other side when having the camera on the bottom?
"This goes on the front" Yeah when you're holding it upside down like that...
i thought this video was going to be better than it was.
oops I thought I saw cheapest in the title Ebay has zhyiun crane gimbal.
189.00 and you can only act dumb so many times before people start to believe it to be true!
Man.. those cameras!
Great video... now gotta work on that sound.
