I'm getting my AK2000 brand new for a little over half the price from Hong Kong (import duties paid in the price) delivered today (UK). So while I am waiting been watching videos on the AK2000. I found your video and the advice within the best video out there! Happy to say already with the MFT camera system and looking forward to the freedom this setup will give me! Thankyou Barry once again Subscribed!
One of my favorite features is how in auto rotation you can actually set multiple different points by just moving then stopping the camera for about 1 second for each point between step 1 and step 2 on the gimbal.
Thank you. Your the only video I could find with a Nikon I’ve heard they released an update that allows the gimbal to work with WiFi on most of the new Nikon cameras with WiFi and they say the focus even works on the D500 and maybe others have you tried it since the update?
Greetings from Edinburgh! I was going to bin buying a gimbal (specifically this gimbal) but your review completely changed my mind. Stellar review, subscribed and keep up the great work! :)
I think the best features is the controllable and touch screen!!!And the price really good with the great gimbal.Thanks for your review!I would like to buy one.
I just bought one as well, and trying to master it. I am overall happy with it, but am slightly disaponted that I can't connect it to my Lumix FZ2000 to control the camera.
Travel, Ride and Fly it’s a great gimbal to be honest though not rally a bad gimbal on the market these days, I actually don’t use any of the camera function ever doesn’t really bother me thought it would but it doesn’t.
Liked and subscribed! Great video. Quick one, pan axis is being a nightmare for me. Cant level it up for some reason. Only slides along as far as 4 on the gauge and it goes up to 5 where I think I need to be? Any help much appreciated!
Hey man thanks! Yes that axis was the one that took me a good while to get level first time around it was literally micro adjustments to get it balanced but I first had to make sure the tilt was correctly balanced first for it to balance well, hope that helps.
@@BarryMountford great! I'm going to have another go this evening. It's a nightmare! I'm pretty sure all else is level? I'll strip it down and start from the beginning. Haha thanks for the reply! Appreciated :)
Hi Barry quick question what is the best sensitivity settings for this gimbal. I found the best setting for the gimbal is default but not sure what level to set my sensitivity for best results not sure if I should hi or low sensitivity or be about halfway.
Hi Barry! I want to buy this Ak2000 for my Nikon D750. I see on 5:22 that you too use D750, but it don't supported in FeiyuTech application many functions (Control iso, aperture and etc). What do you say about it? What operations supported in the application?
Hey Barry, Great review! I just received my Ak2000 today and I am super excited! I will be using my Sony a6000 with a Sony e mount to a mount adapter and a sigma 10-20. I attempted to balance it today and it worked pretty well. I seem to be having an issue where the gimbal does not keep the camera level to the ground. ( it rotates with the gimbal) Can’t seem to figure it out. Any tips?
MrCbike hey man that’s awesome! I always finish balancing it holding it waist level horizontal to the ground with the lcd facing up and adjust the pivot arm so the camera won’t fall either way,hope that helps and enjoy man!
stef Rossi thanks for watching, I use the AF function that way I can level it better in flash position which allows for a nice smooth roll. Hope that helps.
Hey man the gimbal doesn’t support the d750 so you are unable to connect it, to be honest it’s no big deal as the camera controls from the gimbal are limited anyways.
Manic KM it does take up to 2.8kg payload no mention of minimum weight, I did read somewhere someone mention at least 200g but I haven’t anything that small to try. One thing I would do if I needed to use something that small would be to add a little extra weight to the camera when mounting it to the gimbal.
Hey, I do believe this is new to the ak2000/4000 not 100% as I have never used the a2000 but there are comparison videos out to check out, hope that helps.
Stefano Intintoli Photo Video ah ok I believe it’s for the focus although I never use it, even controlling the camera from the gimbal is a little limited in function so I tend not to use that either.
Yesterday I bought AK2000. It can handle the weight of Canon 600d but I can't use their parameters. Because Canon 600d don't have WiFi. 😅. Overall it is good product
Barry I have a question that I'm wondering if you could help me with. I was looking to get another camera mount plate for my AK2000 so I could easily switch between two different cameras on the gimbal. Didn't find one on Amazon nor FeiyuTech's website. I got an email reply from their support staff and they will sell me one for $10 usd plus $14 in shipping. $24 seems high for just a plate. Also it would take close to a month to arrive (I assume it's coming from China). There has to be a better solution! Any ideas?
Never tried it but I do believe the follow focus should work on most cameras as it attaches to the lens and is controlled from the magic wheel on the gimbal. I didn’t purchase the follow focus as I don’t use them. Hope that helps
Yes if it’s not balanced correctly, I found if the bracket supporting the lenses isn’t firmly against the lens it will bounce, also having it on the correct weight setting stops this to, not had any problems what so ever since realising that. Hope this helps.
Barry Mountford if it only works with the cameras in the menu, how did you get your Nikon D750 connected to the Gimbal? I only see Canon, Sony and Panasonic in the FEIYU ON app.
If the Gimbal does not support Nikon WiFi, why do you consider FEIYU WiFi to be one of the best Features, especially when you are using a Nikon product?
Barry Le Blanc that’s because I use it with my canon camera on the gimbal and the canon camera was filming the video so I attached the Nikon for the purpose of the video. Nikon’s WiFi has always been terrible but the canon camera connects flawlessly best I have used to date.
Barry Mountford But what about that Nikon Z6 you bought? Does it work with the AK2000? FEIYU says that there are only the D500 and D7500 that are compatible. In the AK2000 that are returned, the FEIYU On application did not have a Nikon related software to ensure communication between the gimbal and the camera. And I did not see a Nikon type cable in the box that would help make the connection. So how do Nikon cameras communicate with the Gimbal?
Barry Le Blanc I haven’t actually tried connecting the WiFi with the z6, something I should try out and maybe make an update video, but if I am honest I have used the camera function only a hand full of times as I am so used to adjusting everything on camera touch screens on both the canon and Nikon.
Spencer Humphrey thanks for watching, the settings I used for this was to simply put the gimbal in AF ( all follow mode). Use the magic wheel to point the camera straight up and then use the joystick to rotate, hope that helps thanks.
Yes that is a ok feature but for me it needs updated so you can have your phone face you so it can track you say when your working in something as at the moment the gimbal gets confused with the orientation of the smart phone and just dosnt work
Nice video. Just bought one of these myself, and that tip about going from point A to point B is invaluable.
It’s a great tool!
All the primary functions work superbly and it is steadier than any other gimbals I have used for larger cams.
Niking Wong yeah totally agree and at a great price point.
This is absolutely one of the best DSLR gimbals, mine works great and I love it! It helps a lot for my job!
Couldn’t agree more and at a great price point to.
I have used Z-Crane and got a lot of jitter in my image. This was easy to set up and smooth shooting.
how is the follow focus motor performs? is it turns smoothly and quietly?

UK Night Hunting Vision awesome! MFT is a great system that’s going to make a great light weight setup, enjoy man!
@@BarryMountford Thankyou m8 it has just arrived and I'm charging the batteries, they threw in the follow me focus as well, so very happy

Greetings from Edinburgh! I was going to bin buying a gimbal (specifically this gimbal) but your review completely changed my mind. Stellar review, subscribed and keep up the great work! :)
Thanks man very much appreciated!
I just bought this gimbal as well. So far, I'm liking it.
CODER QN great tool! I was surprised at how light it is.
That’s an excellent bit of kit ! Nice features, Just bought one myself , now waiting for the mailman :)
Awesome I had loads of fun with it so far! Fab for the price.
I have the AK2000 too. Amazing Gimbal. Recommend!
Данил Янов yes isn’t it! Great bit of kit!
Very informative video! FeiyuTech AK2000 is really a great gimbal for filmmaker.
Thanks man!
That’s an excellent bit of kit ! Great stuff !
High quality content and informative! Thank you.Looks great mate I like that 360 spin.
Thanks man! Yeah it’s a great feature to have.
I think the best features is the controllable and touch screen!!!And the price really good with the great gimbal.Thanks for your review!I would like to buy one.
Thanks for watching yes some really great features I could probably do a top ten
Hi. Great points. Does the WiFi work with Panasonic Lumix S1?
Thanks < I believe it works with Panasonic cameras, not sure of all the models though.
Thank you :) Just bought one myself , now waiting for the mailman :)
Enjoy man lots of fun ahead!

Me again. Still struggling. Which one is the tilt axis? I've started again and again and struggling bad. Haha
Hi Barry quick question what is the best sensitivity settings for this gimbal. I found the best setting for the gimbal is default but not sure what level to set my sensitivity for best results not sure if I should hi or low sensitivity or be about halfway.
I don’t have a specific setting I just adjust to suit the camera I am using at the time and what I am shooting.

Hi thanks for that video.can you tell me in which mode you put your gimbal for the 360°. Thanks
stef Rossi thanks for watching, I use the AF function that way I can level it better in flash position which allows for a nice smooth roll. Hope that helps.
How do i connect the nikon d7500 camera to the gimbal to be able to play from it?
I can not do it. Thank you.
Hi Jose at this moment you can only use Nikon manually no way of connecting it to the gimbal.
Is it possible to power the camera through the gimbal with an additonal cable, like the Moza Air 2 can?
Hy, can you teach us to connect the camera to the gimball.
please
Hello, how you connect your d750 to app? I have the same camera, but I don't have idea, how work with it, thx
Hey man the gimbal doesn’t support the d750 so you are unable to connect it, to be honest it’s no big deal as the camera controls from the gimbal are limited anyways.
Hey do you think a canon M100 will work with this
Manic KM it does take up to 2.8kg payload no mention of minimum weight, I did read somewhere someone mention at least 200g but I haven’t anything that small to try. One thing I would do if I needed to use something that small would be to add a little extra weight to the camera when mounting it to the gimbal.
Barry Mountford thank you for the quick reply
Yorkshire!!!!! Above all.
thank you for your video.I am going to buy a gimbal for my camera.i like auto rotation .I will search more information about AK2000
Thanks for watching, it’s a great gimbal but most are these days good luck with your choice.
Can you adjust the speed of the 360 rotation????
On the gimbal there is a option to adjust the speed of all the axis you can also adjust them through the app to, hope that helps
Thank you
BULL BAJA thanks for the support!
Everybody knows if also the A2000 model do the 360 degrees rotation (= infinite roll)? Thanks!
Hey, I do believe this is new to the ak2000/4000 not 100% as I have never used the a2000 but there are comparison videos out to check out, hope that helps.
@@BarryMountford I found nobody trying this on the A2000, just on AK series. Thanks anyway!
Hey Feiyutech ak2000 can work with nikonD5200?
GAJDI yes but not WiFi
@@BarryMountfordThere are disadvantages
GAJDI if you use the WiFi I don’t really use it to be honest
@@BarryMountford So I need to buy the MC-DC2 N3, to use the Feiyutech AK2000, right?
GAJDI the gimbal dose not support Nikon WiFi
can you help me? I'm trying to connect by the cable my canon 77d but the video and photo options on the gimbal don't work. thanks
Hey man have you checked it’s compatible? I not 💯 % sure on that camera.
@@BarryMountford I suppose yes 'cause
it works by app canon and Feiyu but I don't understand how the cable works.
Stefano Intintoli Photo Video ah ok I believe it’s for the focus although I never use it, even controlling the camera from the gimbal is a little limited in function so I tend not to use that either.
Its possible turn 360º the handle axis like A1000/2000?
Fabio Bertini Paes I believe so in AF mode I haven’t tried this though, I think There are a couple of other RUclips videos showing this
Feiyu AK2000 can work with Canon 600d?
Vanden Michael It can take a payload of upto 2.8kg and the 600d only weighs around 600g so it can handle that weight no problem.hope that helps.
Yesterday I bought AK2000. It can handle the weight of Canon 600d but I can't use their parameters. Because Canon 600d don't have WiFi. 😅. Overall it is good product
Vanden Michael cool! to be fair you can only change a few settings, and I don’t use it either even though I can.
Sir does canon 80d connect ?
I am not 100% sure
Great video! These are most of my favorite features too! 500th subscriber btw! Literally it was at 499 and i just subbed!
Thanks man! That’s awesome my 500th subscriber!! Thanks for subscribing man!
What mode do i use when i want to auto rotate? My gimbal locked from initial and end point
Rhoy Labog I set it to af mode then use the joystick to set the position

Help me please, what time did you put in Auto rotation. Pan, Axis.....
Данил Янов for the panning shot in this video I set the pan and tilt to 2 seconds hope that helps.
I heard this gimbal has problems with tiny jitters even with the lighter cameras. Any comments or suggestions?
Yes if it’s not balanced correctly, I found if the bracket supporting the lenses isn’t firmly against the lens it will bounce, also having it on the correct weight setting stops this to, not had any problems what so ever since realising that. Hope this helps.
@@BarryMountford thinking about buying this and I was just worried about the jitter prob. I guess I would just have to practice with it!
Miko Jacildo I had the same concerns when I first bought it , yes practice is the best way I have no issues now.
@@BarryMountford just ordered it. Thanks man!
Miko Jacildo awesome mate it’s a great bit of kit.
Does this gimbal's wifi work with Nikon? I can't find Nikon in the Feiyutech app.
Only works with the cameras in the menu.
Barry Mountford if it only works with the cameras in the menu, how did you get your Nikon D750 connected to the Gimbal? I only see Canon, Sony and Panasonic in the FEIYU ON app.
Thanks for the video - what accent is this? Not Scottish is it?
ishootyou.com thanks for watching! No It isn’t Scottish, it’s a Geordie accent North East of England 😀
i have the ak2000 too but ich have another wheel on the side... why? :D

Hidden feature.. object tracking with smartphone.
Yes that is a ok feature but for me it needs updated so you can have your phone face you so it can track you say when your working in something as at the moment the gimbal gets confused with the orientation of the smart phone and just dosnt work
Thanks again for great insights, mate.
