Feiyu Tech, one of the most famous gimbal manufacturers, will release their latest camera gimbal, called G6 Max 3-Axis Stabilized Handheld Camera Gimbal. We got the G6 Max and use it for a few days. Let’s take a look.
Design:
It seems that Feiyu Tech is passionate about releasing camera gimbal with light weight. The Feiyu G6 Max gimbal has 665g net weight and small size, and it is as big as the Feiyu G6 Plus gimbal. Although it has the light weight and small size, the G6 Max also has good metal construction, which makes it firm and stable.
The G6 Max is a 3-axis camera gimbal. From top to bottom, there are three axis position locks, which make important roles on balancing.
Coming in oval shape design, the touch of the handle is good. There are two pieces of silicone rubber embedded in the handle, which makes you have comfortable holding experience.
Take a look at the stick. On the front side, there is a display, a joystick, a shutter button and a function button. The display of G6 Max is bigger than G6 Plus. And the rotary which is beside them is the multifunction knob.
On the other side, you will notice the power button, camera mode button, Type-C port and trigger button.
It is a portable gimbal, and it can be perfectly fit in your bag. But it is hard to put the G6 Max gimbal into the pocket on your clothes.
Performance:
From my own experience, it is simple to balance the G6 Max. However, when turning on the gimbal after balancing, the G6 Max will vibrate occasionally.
The G6 Max has five modes, which are pan mode, follow mode, all follow mode, fast follow mode and selfie mode. It is easy to switch mode. All you need to do is tap the function button or trigger button. What’s more, the switching movement between these modes is smooth and stabilized.
Most of operations, like focusing and panning, can be finished by the buttons, joystick and knob. After updating, I think the knob can support more functions expect tilting, like zooming.
The G6 Max supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to directly operate the camera or smartphone, which provide more stable connection. Also, you can download the Feiyu ON App to control the gimbal and camera.
The Feiyu G6 Max does a good job on stability, which is above the average. It performs well when walking, while the frame will have a small vibration when running or other intensive movements. But the vibration can be accepted.
Although the net weight of G6 Max (665g) is heavier than the G6 Plus (663g), I think the G6 Max feels lighter than most of the camera gimbal selling on the market when you use it.
Battery:
The Feiyu G6 Max gimbal can last around 9 hours, which can support outdoor shooting for a long time. By the way, the G6 Max is fueled by built-in battery, which is more convenient than external battery.
Conclusion:
The Feiyu G6 Max is a portable and stable gimbal. I like its size, design, modes and smooth movements. If you want to record your life by video, I do recommend the Feiyu G6 Max camera gimbal to you.
