FeiyuTech AK2000 DSLR Camera Gimbal 3-Axis Handheld Stabilizer Gimbal for Sony Canon 5D Panasonic GH5 Nikon 2.8 KG Payload with Touch Panel

The media could not be loaded.  I've been using gimbals since 2015 with the DJI Ronin M and sought to upgrade to a smaller system in 2016 with the Zhiyun Crane. Since it was 2019, I felt like my Zhiyun Crane was lacking in features compared to these newer gimbals.The FeiyuTech AK2000 offers everything I need in a gimbal. It is able to hold my Canon 5D Mark IV and easily handle my new Fuji X-T3. What I love about this gimbal is that it has a touch screen which completely removes the need of a smartphone app. Navigating through the menu is simple and allows me to do quick adjustments on the fly. Switching through modes is easy and not finicky as other gimbals. The motors are much more beefy allowing it to hold 2.8kg which is very nice if my setup ever gets more intense. I use this gimbal for weddings, events, real estate, and music videos. It served me extremely well and many people on YouTube pointed out that the battery life isn't as good as other gimbals, well I can say that it lasts me throughout a whole 12 hour wedding shoot. I would recommend buying more 18650 batteries if you feel like you need extra battery life.The construction is high quality for the price, the 'magic' wheel is placed logically and allows for ways to control the movement of the gimbal. The joystick is flat which is in my opinion pretty nice. Turning the gimbal on has a startup sound which is a great way to indicate that the gimbal is ready for use. This gimbal features an off axis arm so that viewing the screen is easy. Locking the arms is really reassuring with the knobs not being round like the Zhiyun Crane. The arms allows for smooth adjustments which makes balancing much easier.At first, this gimbal would vibrate but that is due to the "Auto Adjustments" I recommend switching to the 2nd preset. Updating the firmware is helpful too.Overall this gimbal is a great alternative for someone looking into the Zhiyun Crane Weebil Lab, Ronin S, and other gimbals. This gimbal is a lot lighter compared to the Ronin S and much more stable than the Weebil Lab. Also the accessories for this gimbal is awesome, the follow focus is cheap $50 and the dual handle is $180 which actually makes it look like a legit Ronin 2 for 1/10 the overall price.Forgot to mention that it comes with a nice foam case and a sturdy metal tripod which makes the price extremely competitive.I would recommend this to anyone looking for not an overkill gimbal that has all the latest features plus more.

Pro's and Con's are below, but overall, this product is GREAT. It works quite well, and I'm very, very pleased with it for the purpose I purchased it. (Not to mention the price!)The gimbal handles my D850 with a Sigma Art 50mm mounted, as well as when it has a 24-70mm Tamron zoom... both are heavy lenses, and as you probably know, the D850 is a fairly heavy body, too. It handles having a Rode shotgun mike mounted on the camera as well... and also works with a Saramonic Lavalier receiver mounted on the camera as well.All very good stuff. :)Adding a battery-powered LED light (with nothing else) unfortunately didn't work. I suspect it brought the weight over the 2.8 KG payload max.The controls are excellent, including the swipe screen and built-in buttons. I can tell you right up front that you should buy the carbon fiber extension pole (which fits in the case provided for the gimbal), because without it, you'll find this heavy to hold after a while - even using two hands. The pole gives you much better leverage, and makes walking around with it a lot less strenuous.Pros====1) Multiple modes, all of which work as advertised, and extremely well2) Very responsive to movement, even when tasked with close to the maximum weight allowed3) Excellent battery life4) Well-placed controls5) Pretty well documented "How to balance", but the YouTube videos are easier to follow than the text.6) Easy to link to your wireless network, and VERY easy to get firmware updatesCons=====1) Although the Amazon descriptions shows that the Nikon D500 and D7500 is supported, the FeiyuTech website claims that the D850 is ALSO supported - which is misleading. Yes, the camera can be mounted and used as described - but the firmware does NOT SUPPORT CONTROL OF THE D850. (Or any Nikon at this time, for that matter, from what I was told by Customer Service.) Basically, you are only left with the fundamental gimbal controls, although customer support informed me that their engineers are considering adding Nikon support.2) Buying additional batteries is a PAIN. They're hard to find. More to the point, you have to specifically find (and use) the EXACT SAME BATTERIES - INCLUDING CHEMISTRY DESIGNATIONS. Don't bother looking on Amazon - Google the batteries. I found a couple of sellers online that sold the correct ones.Having said all that?For $300 (as compared to a DJI Ronin of similar ability for $450/550 depending on model), this stabilizer is WELL worth the money, even with the drawback of the firmware not being compatible with Nikon. And if you're a Canon user, you're right in the perfect target zone, because Canon's are fully supported.If FeiyuTech engineering updates their firmware to support Nikon, then I believe - hands down - that this will be the absolutely best gimbal stabilizer in the market.3)

So far I am loving this stabilizer and gimbal. I took it out on the trails and got some great tracking shots while out hiking with my dog. I am excited to see how it holds up to the elements and travel. For productions that are less Guerilla this gimbal would be fantastic. Love the wifi capabilities and the ability to remotely control from my smart device as well.

I was looking for a gamble that would help my transition from still photos to video that would handle the payload of my larger DSLR body an this one fit the bill. Seems to be a sturdy build and it has an average learning curve. All around a pretty good value.

Great. Gimbal. Definitely feels well made and top quality.

Absolutely love this Gimbal. I do professional work all over the world and this is one of my favourite tools. Don't mess around. Buy this it's just great and the customer service is the best you will find if needed.

Hay que pensar sl peso de este aparato más la cámara, realizamos su devolución el mismo día por este motivo, pesa muchísimo, no nos era cómodo, el envio y todo fue genial, pero también tuvo el fabricante un error y nos envió el que tiene maletín, que por otra parte esta genial, pero no era el que pedimo que traia artículos de regalo.
