Very thorough. Unlike other tutorials, you cover even the smallest detail. Good teachers avoid too many assumptions. This is good teaching. Thank you!
I'm a second year film student at Queens Uni in Belfast, our lecturer added your video link to our equipment notes as an example of how to set up this equipment.
THIS WAS 110%, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST TUTORIAL FOR THIS PIECE OF KIT. SUPERB.
Thanks for the video and explaination. I looked at a couple of other videos but yours explained the setup the best and,thanks to you, I was able to get my a2000 setup for work.
Thanks for that! was wondering if putting the camera without any pre-balancing setup could damage those little motors. I'm so glad you made this video.
*Very good man, this is the best video of setup and balance for gimbal. respect bro*
Thanks for this, it helped a lot and I got it perfectly balanced on first try.
Jyrki Sorjonen no problem! Glad I could help
Awesome video! Does anyone know if the A2000 is compatible with a Canon EOS R50 camera?
Thank you so much! This tutorial was so well explained!
Marc
Hello I've done everything well until the 17:05 minute of your video. It doesn't stay vertical... I can't understand why,everything is well balanced. Do you have any idea why it doesn't work?
Thanks anyway for your tutorial.
What an excellent tuturial young man. I leaned a lot. Thank you very much :-)
Thank you man love you
Thanks, guy wanted 750 cash. After checking other comments I noticeed 500new and 350 used. Guy was ripping me off because I told him I'm new to shooting. He works at small local shop. Told me $750 is awsome deal, if i pay cash he will do for 700 even. Wow, that put the red flag straight up. I come here only to find our instinct can be good to listen to. Thanks all, now I'M getting open box one for $349.00.
Amazing video and helpful♥️
Where to buy it?i'm in républic democratic of congo
I have a canon 5D mark 4 but because of my lenses I can't balance my camera so that it is hanging straight. I'm always filming with my 24-105mm or 16-35, but they both are really big. What can i do?
When all set up, it won't go fit back in the FeiyuTech case. What do other people use to store it?
is this moss from it crowd
Hello. Is this compatible with SONY A6500 WITH Sony SEL E PZ 18-105mm also..????
MaxOreo Gaming it should be yes, this gimbal can take any mirror less or dslr camera under a certain weight ( I’m not exactly sure what the maximum weight is, but I know it’s quite high ) and since your Sony is mirrorless that means it’s light so it should be fine. Hope this helps
I thought the camera plate was supposed to make set-up easier not harder. What a clart on.
5:35 shouldn’t the ridges face the hole? There are grooves that allow the ridges to lock in place if you do it that way & I skimmed through the video and saw no reason why to do it your way
I agree. It works much better with ridges inward. Seems to be meant that way.
fucking legend thanks for this
Oatway Productions no problem!
I perfectly balanced the gimbal and when i turn it on roll axis keeps vibrating.... just got it today and it’s really frustrating
i have the GH5 on this and i cant get my role axis balanced. when i adjust the height of the camera that fixes the rolling axis but then the camera is TOP heavy. I need help PLEASE.
"Plus goes to plus, minus goes to minus...Put this in the plug and the plug in the socket" 😂
Wow I'm so glad I clicked on this video so I could learn the intricacies of using a battery charger 🤷♂️🤦♂️😆
1 Tip: If you position the camera on the plate, make sure that there is no gap between the side (tilt) motor and the camera. It will vibrate if you hold the gimbal in certain angles.
correct me if I misunderstood something.
after putting the camera on, should I approach it to the tilt axis motor?
I have a problem with vibrations.
And one more thing with the lock button pressed, the gimbal turns itself to the left and after returning it returns to the center. Is this a matter of balance?
Peter the Videot.
Thanks Ling. I didn't move the camera because it was nicely balanced but to test your theory I placed a small empty cardboard carton between the camera and the tilt motor. Solved the vibration problem completely. When the carton is removed after a short while (20 seconds), the vibration begins again. Replace the carton and it doesn't. Yipee! I'm so relieved.
You beautiful human being! You fixed all my issues!
Man... You rock. I was actually on here trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with it my a2000. I have a slightly heavier payload but well under the recommended amount and it was really bugging me when it vibrated for no apparent reason. Super simple but this did the trick.
Lifesaver, my a2000 was constantly vibrating when turned on. Really shows the importance of properly balancing the gimbal. Thanks heaps!
I have it perfectly balanced so i can point it whichever way i want. But when I turn the device on my camera is not level. Its slightly tilted to the right.
Can anyone help me understand why this is?
Ive tried adjusting what seems like every knob & slide.
The gimbal is not starting.. wen i balance the camera.. and turn on.. every time.. green light comes. And red light blinks... And then its go off... Charged full batteries... But im not getting wts d problem is this... Please help.. 🙏
shouldn't you balance it to where the camera is pointing stright and not down? so the motor doesnt have to use so much power to bring it up 90 degrees?
I'm having trouble of putting that camera mount plate on the gimbal and it looks like it wont fit in I need help
Hey I'm still ha ingenuity lots of trouble with my one handed gimbal can you help?
for those of you who struggle with balancing the camera when the lens is bigger than the body: take as refrence point the arms of the gimbal, not the lens. What I mean is: at 12:12 you can see the thing you move so that the lense is vertical, is horizontally aligned with the arm which holds the camera. If the lense you use is bigger and you try to align it vertically that "thing" (the one I mentioned) is not aligned with the arm, so, your camera is not acutally aligned and everything you do next won't work. Maybe this will help you, or maybe I was the only idiot not to notice that. Anyway, if you have the same problem, hope this saves you some time, because it took me 3 hours and a mental break down to figure this out.
So yeah, this is the most detailed balancing vid out there, but having followed every step and achieving what seems like perfect balance, when I try to tilt it left or right like you do at 17:05 it goes back to center (horizontal) position, even though I balanced the cross arm with the roll axis screw. Why is my roll axis not doing this, any idea?
Marq Riley hi, not really sure what’s going wrong. If it’s balanced in the normal position then I’m sure it’s fine. But if you have time I would recommend just starting all over again ( messing up the balance and restarting ) and just see if it works this time. Let me know how it goes
I have the same problem as Marq. Just set it up and can't get it to stay where I put it when when moving the horizontal axis? The tilt stays where I put it but the horizontal one just keeps rocking back so it's straight. Not worried about it though as I doubt I'll ever need to use it like that, just thought I'd let you know. Great video though!
Tried it again with a different camera, but same problem. Thinking it might be a manufacturing issue on the gimbal. Might return it for a different one.
I've sent mine back to CVP.com. They're going to open up a new one and test it out for the issues I had with it before sending out the replacement. And they also said they'd refund me the £27 it cost to send the first one back. I also asked them to lower the price of the gimbal when I initially purchased it which they did - very good customer service! Definitely recommend them! Hopefully the new one will work fine, if not I guess I'll have to pay extra and get the Crane 2, which only has single handle :-(
I'm having the same problem. I have an idea what might be causing it. When my camera sits lower on the tilt, with the screw very close to the end of the arm, I get the same thing with front and back tilt - goes right back to upright position when you tilt up or down. When I bring the camera up a bit on that arm, and compensate by moving the camera plate, it is balanced and will stay up or down when tilted. I wonder if things get messed up when the screw is tightened toward the end of the motor arm. Unfortunately, I can't avoid this on the horizontal arm because I am using a Canon 7D, and the way the weight is distributed doesn't give me another option - the up/down tilt motor blocks the camera from moving any more to the right.
This is excellent. Tried setting up using the Feiyutech video, got it completely wrong. This video shows you exactly what to do to get it set up properly.
Great video, very clear all I have to do now is do it myself.!
can i use this gimbal with my canon 6D? if not then its useless to me.
Hey man, I have followed all the steps from your video and also many other videos. It is perfectly balanced up and down, but side to side, it just goes back to horizontal. It just doesnt want to stay left or right... What am i doing wrong?
Really good setup :P Simpel and clean, just as we noobs needs it! Thanks man!
I think I'll watch it a few times. Still no real clue on balancing and want to see if it's possible to take photo and video through the gimbal. I hope so-- for this price! And, I got it on sale; $200 off.
WEX Photo Video told me to look at this tutorial - it was really helpful, thanks for making it!
One thing to note: I set the balance up on the single handle setup. I turned it on and it wouldn't stop shaking! Latest firmware, camera (77D, 10-18mm lens) balanced perfectly... it just wouldn't stop shaking. I put the gimbal and camera onto the dual-arm setup as you've used in this video, no shaking at all! It has me wondering if there's something within the electronics in the single handle that isn't quite right? I'm perplexed. So, if anything, buy this gimbal for the dual-handle setup, it's really comfortable too! Holding the button on the back of the right handle, so the camera locks into one place, is one of the most useful features of the a2000. At this point in time, I'm happy I went with this gimbal!
My gimbal is perfect balance but i have a propblem when i turn ON start to spin chaotic from rolling axis it was so close to break the lcd sceen from my canon 200d please if you know why is doing tell me ......
Alex Came hi, I have no idea, I would try resetting the gimbal, not 100% sure how you do it but it’s in the instructions
Great tutorial my feiyu tech a2000 is coming today I'll definitely be using this for my set up can't wait
Thank you SO MUCH for your thoughtful video tutorial. I have been searching for AGES to find a set up tutorial that does exactly what the title says. Once again THANK YOU.
GRTV glad I could help!
Great vid! Thanks for sharing
Is this dual grip also suitable for the Feiyutech AK2000?
suitable = compatible
i have a question !! as i know these are delivered by China....did you have any further fee to pay once you received it ? thanks !
Nomad By Fate I got this to test for free but no I didn’t have to pay anything when it arrived
Just a question: Can you use the Olympus 45mm 1.2 lens to shoot videos on GH5? Rather more specifically can you mount it on a Gh5 with a gimbal taking to account that the Olympus lens is manual and the native one for the gh5 is auto? I'm confused. I'm a newbie to the world of photography and cinematography but would like to take dive into it. I want to buy these three gadgets: a GH5 camera, a Olympus 45mm f1.2 lens, and fiayu a2000 gimbal. Please advise. Be kind with your comments.

Nice instructional video. I've been using this gimbal since 2017 but stumbled across your video while looking for help with Feiyu-Tech's firmware update application.
This may have already been addressed, but I noticed that you have the lens support piece backwards at 5:25. You correctly designated which side was front and which was the back, but you attached it to the camera mounting plate backwards. The ridges on the back side fit into the slots on the front of the camera mounting plate, thus preventing the lens support from wanting to shift/rotate around the screw.
In regards to your comment about a microphone at 10:30, my typical setup with this gimbal uses a GH5 and a Rode VideoMicro mounted off center of the shoe using an adjustable shoe mounted rail. This allows for 90 degrees horizontal tilt (gimbal handle horizontal and camera facing forward) withough the roll motor hitting the mic. It makes the camera top heavy and you have to spend a few more minutes balancing things out but it still works very well.
This man dose not know what he’s doing, there are a whole bunch of mounting points on the dual grip and the single grip, for accessory, like a mic. And the balancing is wrong too.
hi.. do you recommend leaving the gimball permanently with a camera on after setting it up ? will this damage the gimball's motor ?
Complicated LOOL You have to try making a DIY 3 axis gimbal, and nothing more will be "complicated" lol.
hello at 5.50 are you sure the piece is on good side ? cause if you turn it it fit perfectly ? the smooth side did not fit as well ?
Any good for a canon g7xmark II
Is this not the 3 axis model?
thank you for honesty , i was 15 minutes away from selling mine as i couldnt get it to work even after reading offical instructions and watching 2 other tutorials ,hence i have now subscribed to you
So how did you slide it in I've done everything that it's supposed to do and I'm having trouble putting my camera on the gimbal and it looks like it cant fit on to the gimbal
At 5:47 shows the lens support bracket pushed up against the focus ring on the lens. Doesn't that prevent autofocus when you're actually using the camera?
I really struggle with the last bit (moving the camera from face down to level). I get to the point where I move the camera forward by one notch or backwards by one notch and it goes from looking straight at the ground to straight at the sky. Any advice anyone?
Thank you very much friend. very nice. Best tutorial of setup & balance.
Can you use this with an action cam? A Sony fdr x1000? Thanks
Almost complete, but this tutorial is missing one thing, how to recalibrate... because this gimbal will not stay level forever
Sorry from my experience it is very simple to balance, just got mine and did it less than a minute.
You can use mic on dual handle. There is mounting places. Just need to mount. There is like 3 or 4 places where you can add even extra monitor to handle.
thank you brothermane
For the feiyu A2000, the stabilizer's operating panel is logical: four-direction remote sensing, functional keys and shutter keys from top to bottom, and a light on the direction rocker. And on the opposite side of the operating panel, Fei Yu also set up a trigger key and a stick.
Good video. Even tho I do know most things about balancing gimbals, there are always little extra bits of knowledge you pick from guys like you. Thanks for your time and keep up the great tutorials.
Really helpful thank you
Just got this gimbal for my 5D IV and this video was spot on for balancing! Thanks. :)
great job. I just picked up this gimbal and I plan on using it for my Sony and my Fuji
ARTISTIC STANDARD TV awesome! Have fun!
do you think a compact camera (canon g7x mark ii) is compatible?
best balancing video on feiyutech a2000... even better than the official balancing video by feiyutech !!!
Can you put some comments to the setting in the app, and why you chose those or you leave it all at default settings?
MrMilanina hi, I just left it in default except the panning and tilting speed which I made a bit faster
Excellent
NO THIS VIDEO IS TO SHORT
Love it! Im going to buy this gimbal in a few months! Or maybe the next year, but im going to need this video too so i added to my favorites list and i suscribe too you show how to do it really well!!!
Best wishes from Argentina man!
Keep doing videos like this! The quality is awesome! :D
Great video man! gonna use it for my channel
great tutorial and not long at all. Thanks for your time to explain. I am ordering one from Amazon today.
Fantastic work. I followed your tutorial step by step and it was perfect. Cheers
Best one buddy, I thought to buy another Gimble since i had some issue with my one with Canon 80D . But after proper balance no issue at all. thank you very much for the video
Very nice and clear tutorial, great to follow along to.
Thanks for this tutorial! very simple! Good job!
Thanks so much !!!
Thank you! Because of this video it took me 15 minutes to set it up. Really appreciate it! 🙏🏻
Damn.. so you have to go through the whole set up every time you switch a lens?
Aaron Forte yup! But it gets a lot quicker as you get better
thanks bruv!
THANK YOU !
Awesome!! thanks for putting the effort in, I was totally confused before watching your video
Hello I have just purchased a Feiyu a2000 gimbal. I have set it all up with the double handles like you but the blue light keeps flashing. The batteries are fully charged. I know (from the booklet) that this means that there is a malfunction. What should I do to correct this problem?
Thank you for your help in advance
Nicolas Rombaut Officiel how often do they flash? I think they are meant to flash every 10 seconds ish as standard.
Frediculous Thank you for replying quickly. It flashes every two seconds.
Nicolas Rombaut Officiel that’s weird, maybe try resetting the gimbal? It says how to in the manual.
Hi Nicolas, I have the same exact problem. Have you been able to find a solution to this?
Mahina Khanum Hi Mahina. I had to send a video of my gimbal to show them the problem I thought I was having and they answered back: Your gimbal functions properly based on the video. When the indicator flashes a blue light in circle, that means gimbal works in default mode (panning mode).
Don’t worry about the long video ! Thank you so much you made this easy !
Great stuff
oh shit how can i balance a a6300 and Sigma 18-35 xD
Thank you
Great video, but like so many here when I have everything balanced the camera stays in the "straight ahead" position where I balanced it. Moving the camera down or up -- the camera does not stay there but always always goes back to the original position. I hope my rig is still balanced. It seems like it is. But there is just no way that manually it will ever stay in whatever position I put it in. Right now the camera is looking straight ahead where I want it and it seems to work fine, so I guess I will go with that.
Christopher Thorkon if you Gimbal is turned on it might be in mode 2 ( double tap trigger button to reset ). If it’s turned off and when you move it it moves that is natural I think.
Thank you, now I have understand how it is working... ;-)
How do you get batteries in the dual handle
Lucky Green Digital the side where there is no buttons. Unscrew that, they go in there.
As you can see, this explained everything quite well.
This finally solved my balance issues. Thanks. I feel like I'm going to watch this a few more times so that I don't forget anything.
Thank you so much, saved a lot of time and is really easy to understand!
Bloody awesome tutorial mate - extremely detailed and helpful. Thank you!
