Do you have an interested in taking vlogs? A growing number of people are interested in vlogs. The most important accessory for taking vlog is the camera gimbal, which can hold the camera more stable. And the Feiyu is one of the most famous brands in the industry. We have got the Feiyu G6 Plus gimbal several days ago, let’s take a look.
Unboxing:
There is a Feiyu G6 Plus Gimbal, a rechargeable battery, an USB cable, an adapter for action camera, a carrying bag and an user manual in the package.
Design:
The Feiyu G6 Plus is a 3-axis hand-held gimbal that compatible with GoPro, smartphones, pocket video camera and Micro single lens reflex camera, which maximum payload is 800g in the center of gravity balance. With the 663g empty weight, the G6 Plus gimbal is smaller than most of the camera gimbals, and just a bit bigger than phone gimbals. This portable camera gimbal is made from premium metal material coming with the rubber handle cover, so it has the incredible handheld feeling and comfortable experience.
You can notice that some buttons and a small screen at the grip, and you can do all the controls through the grip, which is convenient and handy. It is easy to start your filming. Install the battery and have a full charged at first. And then install your device in the place with screw. After adjusting the balance, you can press and hold the power button until the Feiyu logo appears. And then you can choose a shooting mode you like through the joystick.
Let’s look at the grip. There are three buttons below the small display, from the top to the bottom, they are a joystick, a function button and a shutter button. On the left side, there is a multifunction knob, which can control the zoom and follow focus of camera.
On the right side, you will notice the setting button and a micro USB port.
Move your eyes to the rear side, an adjustment function button directing camera, and a trigger button is set on here.
Performance:
The Feiyu G6 Plus Gimbal supports 5 shooting modes including a panning mode, a lock mode, a follow mode, selfie switch and an auto-rotation mode. The switch way for these modes is pretty easy: switch between the panning mode and the lock mode with single tap, double tap for the follow mode, triple tap for the selfie switch, quadruple tap for the auto-rotation mode.
Feiyu does a good job on stabilization, the gimbal shows the amazingly smooth and stabilized movements in all modes. I think that the panning mode is not easy to handle, but the Feiyu G6 Plus surprised me. The images and videos keep stabilized with the panning mode.
If you want to take a selfie vlog, the selfie switch is suitable for you. Just click the function button three times in a row, the camera will rotate 180 degree in horizontal. Double tap trigger button can reset to default position. The rotation is fast, smooth and stable that will not affect the quality of shooting.
Battery:
The Feiyu G6 Plus gimbal is fueled by 5000mAh battery, which can be charged by Micro USB port. And the battery can last around 9 to 12 hours. It definitely can support outdoor shooting for a long time.
By the way, the Feiyu brand has their application called Feiyu ON. You can switch the shooting mode, adjust the focus, control the camera direction and edit the images or videos and so on.
Price:
The Feiyu G6 Plus is priced at $269 on their official website. You can click here to get the camera gimbal.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Feiyu G6 Plus is an incredible gimbal. I like its light weight, easy operation, and stabilization. But I have to say that my arm feels fatigued when I hold the gimbal for a long time. I will more appreciate if the Feiyu brand can launch a lighter camera gimbal.
