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.

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.

In case you are interested to know the price, you’ll have to wait a bit longer as Yi technology is yet to reveal the pricing and availability of the new smart camera gimbal. We also can’t seem to distinguish this model with the current version as the features overlap. The difference may lie in the smart feature which we are yet to determine since the details are scanty. However, we’ll bring you further details as soon as they emerge.

I have reviewed a lot of different gimbals over the time and they were great. However, they could be only used either with the phone or with an action camera and I sometimes ended up carrying two gimbals.The Zhiyun Crane M is the most versatile gimbal I’ve ever had. You can use it with a compact mirrorless camera, smartphone or any action camera. Learn more in the full Zhiyun Crane M review.

VIDEO REVIEW

UNBOXING

What is awesome is that the gimbal comes in a high-quality travel case where all the items are packed neatly.

Besides the gimbal, you get the USB cable, a carrying strap, USB charger with 2 batteries and depending on where you buy this gimbal, you may also get a mini tripod or some other accessories.

DESIGN and FEATURES

Since the Crane M is designed for many different cameras, it is a bit larger and heavier than e.g. Zhiyun Smooth 3 or Smooth Q gimbals that I have reviewed before. However, it is still quite compact but your hand may get tired after a while since the gimbal weighs 740g.

As usual to Zhiyun’s products, the build quality is top-notch. The gimbal is made entirely of metal, there are no plastic parts except for the buttons, which are clicky and don’t seem to break anytime soon.

In order to start using the gimbal, you have to mount your camera using the 1/4 screw, which is a standard size for most of the cameras. It is very important to balance the gimbal by adjusting the extendable axis on each side. It takes less than a minute to do that and you are good to go. I used the gimbal with my Panasonic G7 with 25mm prime lens and it works just great since gimbal has the max. load capacity of 650g.

You can also use the Crane M with any smartphone with the supplied cradle or any other camera as long as you are not over the load capacity limit. Even though the minimum load is 125g, I found the stabilizer to be working fine with a super light YI 4K action camera.

The ability to use any camera is the key selling point of the Crane M, in my opinion. As I said, I love filming with my phone or action camera but I don’t want to carry different gimbals. I think that the Crane M is a perfect solution for my needs.

This stabilizer has the same control system like any other gimbal made by the company. The mode button allows you to switch from one mode to another.

The default mode is called the pan following mode and I used it most of the time. If you press the mode button once, the gimbal will enter the locking mode, which is great for smooth pan or tilt shots if you want to film a particular object.

If you press the mode button twice, you will enter the pan and pitch following mode, where the gimbal moves towards the direction you point the camera to.  This mode works pretty well too. Even if you move the gimbal quickly, you will get a smooth shot since all the axes move slowly. The last mode is the selfie mode and it is triggered by pressing the mode button 3 times.

You can also control the gimbal manually using the joystick and I found this feature to work great. However, I suggest you reducing the pan and tilt speeds in the app to get those nice slow cinematic shots. Honestly, I think that this gimbal can replace a tripod and fluid head if you are on the go and don’t want to carry all your heavy camera supports if you need to take just a few shots.

The 1/4 screw mount allows you to attach the gimbal to all sorts of accessories like tripods.

You can also control the gimbal with a remote control, which is sold separately. If you don’t want to spend the extra cash, you can control it using your phone via the Bluetooth, which is awesome if you want to avoid any shakiness in those slow pan ant tilt shots.

I love that both pan and tilt axis can rotate 360 degrees, so you can use the camera in any position you want. That’s a huge advantage over some smaller gimbals I’ve tested.

If you plan to use the Crane M with a phone, make sure to download the ZY Play app that allows you to take a full advantage of the control buttons. Obviously, you can take pictures or shoot videos, switch from the main to the front-facing camera and so on. You can also zoom in and out but I wish zooming was a bit smoother.

You can also adjust the gimbal speed settings, change the resolution, set the timer or use a manual mode. However, it is really frustrating that this app does not allow you to shoot in 4k for some reason but I was told that the application will be updated soon.

IMAGE QUALITY

Like any other Zhiyun gimbal, the Crane M does an excellent job reducing the shakiness as the footage looks stunning if you use the gimbal while walking or even running. The video looks really smooth either if I used the device with a camera or with a smartphone or with my action camera. Well, the footage may look a bit shaky under extremely windy weather conditions but that is the case with every gimbal I’ve tested.

BATTERY LIFE

The Crane M is powered by two 3600mAh replaceable batteries that allow you to use the gimbal for up to 12 hours, which is a very good result.

However, if you use the Crance M with a mirrorless camera, you should expect about 10-11 hours of battery life.

A dedicated USB charger can fully charge the batteries in just a few hours but you can also charge them directly via the gimbal’s micro USB port.

CONCLUSIONS

I was impressed by the performance and overall feature set of the Zhiyun Crane M and I think it will be the only gimbal that I will be using now since it supports my Panasonic G7 camera, any smartphones or action cameras.

Well, the gimbal could be a little lighter but I prefer sturdy all-metal build instead of the plastic one. Also, I hope the ZY Play app will have the 4k video recording feature soon.

All in all, I still find the Zhiyun Crane M to be a great gimbal for my work as I can use it with each camera or smartphone that I have. For the price of under $400, I can easily recommend it as this is my go-to gimbal for more than a month.

Action cameras are great. They are very compact, easy to use and they can produce a high-quality footage. Also, my YI 4K action camera gives me the convenience of infinite focus and wide angle lens, just like a GoPro or any other high-end sports camera.

However, the handheld footage is usually shaky and wobbly but one of the best and the most mobile solutions is a gimbal if you don’t want to carry your bulky tripod everywhere you go. I just came across the Zhiyun Rider-M, which fits most of the action cameras and it is just a fantastic little device… and it’s pretty affordable. Learn more in our full review.

Zhiyun Rider-M Gimbal Review: VIDEO REVIEW

Zhiyun Rider-M Gimbal Review: UNBOXING

The device ships with all the stuff you need to start shooting videos. Some notable accessories include a high-quality selfie stick that is made out mostly of metal. Also, there are two sets of batteries, a charger, a really nice carrying pouch, video output and charging cables for GoPro cameras and the GoPro accessory adapter, so you can attach the gimbal to almost anything you want.

Zhiyun Rider-M Gimbal Review: DESIGN, FEATURES and FUNCTIONALITY

The first thing you are going to notice is the build quality. The gimbal is made entirely of metal and it doesn’t seem to break anytime soon.

We have some standard ports as the microUSB, GoPro charging and the video output port. The 1/4 screw mount allows you to attach the gimbal to all sorts of accessories. If you attach it to the tripod like I did, you will get some very smooth shoots.

What I love about the Zhiyun Rider-M is that it is very easy to use right off the bat.  All you have to do is to put your camera into the bracket, tighten up the screws, turn it on and you are good to go. We have just two control buttons. The power and the mode button.

The default mode is called the pan follow mode and I used it most of the time.

I have to tell you that the footage looks just stunning. I was simply walking normally and didn’t try to hold my hands steadily at all but the footage looks very smooth. Also, the gimbal is very responsive and even if you move it too quickly, you will still have smooth and slow panning or tilting motion. One mistake that I made was holding the selfie stick completely vertically. That’s why one of the axis of the gimbal was caught by the wide angle lens of my YI 4k camera in a few shots. If you don’t make this mistake, you will be able to shoot some awesome-looking videos.

If you press the mode button once, the gimbal will enter the locking mode, which is great for the smooth pan or tilt shots if you want to film a particular object. This mode works great with both landscape and product shots.

If you press the mode button twice, you will enter the pan and pitch following mode, where the gimbal moves towards the direction you point the camera to.  This mode works pretty well too. Even if you move the gimbal quickly, you will get a smooth shot since all the axes move slowly. The last mode is the selfie mode and it is triggered by pressing the mode button 3 times. A cool feature is that you can simply point the gimbal to the direction you want and hold it for 1 second and the Rider M locks that angle automatically.

Another great feature is that you can control the gimbal using your phone via the Bluetooth. Obviously, you can also switch from one mode to another but you can also control the gimbal manually to get that perfect shot.

Zhiyun Rider-M Gimbal Review: BATTERY LIFE

When it comes to the battery life, it’s just fantastic. You can always track the amount of juice left using the app but I have to tell you the batteries last forever and I wasn’t able to kill them in like 5 days. If you need to recharge them, the supplied charger fully recharges the batteries in about 2 hours.

Zhiyun Rider-M Gimbal Review: CONCLUSIONS

In my opinion, the Zhiyun Rider-M is a really great gimbal that has been working absolutely fine so far.

The shots it allows you to take look very smooth even if you don’t hold the gimbal steadily and simply walk normally. Also, the device doesn’t feel cheap at all since it is made entirely of metal.

The last things I wanted to mention again is a great battery life, the ability to control the gimbal using your phone and the ease of use of this device. You just take it out of the box and start shooting.

All in all, I can definitely recommend the Zhiyun Rider-M if you want to step your action camera video game up. I will be using this gimbal in some of my future reviews and I will update the description of this video if something goes wrong with this device. For now, I love the way it works and I think it’s well worth the price of $250.
