FeiyuTech Vlog Pocket Smartphone Gimbal 3-Axis Foldable Gimbal Stabiliser for iPhone 12 Mini and Android Smartphones (Vlog Pocket) (new)

The media could not be loaded.  I’ve been waiting for a product like this to be released. I’ve used different gimbals in the past which have been designed for phones, and whilst the technology is usually great, their design lets them down. I have found due to their size; my past purchases rarely ever left the house and were too bulky to take up precious room in a bag whilst travelling! Having this folding design is a massive plus.I own the larger AK2000 gimbal that I use with a mirrorless DSLR and it’s been great. I was equally impressed when I was unpacking this gimbal, it feels strong without being too heavy and it’s tiny when it’s folded up! The battery is advertised to last about 14 hours in standby mode, whilst I haven’t used it for this long, I have got a full day using it without having to recharge.It has a simplified button control on the front and rear trigger. Unlike many other gimbals you won’t find a joystick control or any kind of screen and there is good reason for this. The compact design means it has sacrificed some buttons but once you have learnt the correct combination of button presses, it’s easy to navigate.Something else which I’m pleased to see with this gimbal is the fact you don’t need to balance and calibrate it. Just mount your phone roughly in the centre of the grip and the motors will automatically balance it! A single button allows you to change the orientation of the phone quickly without remounting and a shutter release will let you change shooting modes.It works with the phone’s native camera app with the usual modes of lock, panning and follow. If you want to use the additional features, you must download the FeiyuOn app. I found this process very easy and once you’ve installed the app you can access features such as panoramas, object tracking and dolly zooming. The package it great, my only complaint is that is uses micro USB, where it would be nice to have seen USB C, however this is a minor issue and one which probably won’t bother most buyers. Finally, I think I’ve found a gimbal that’s small enough to carry with me and therefore actually use!

Remember To Live In The Real World! So I have been using this for the past week and I wasn’t sure what to expect! It exceeded my expectations, it was very easy to use and intuitive! This gimbal is designed for shooting vlog and it's perfect for travel because it folds up to fit in your pocket (admittedly I was wearing a big coat)!It comes with an app that is super smooth and has many different styles that allow you to program it to move in different directions and different movements! I can’t comment on the battery life but I’ve used it for a intensively for a week and it hasn’t ran out😊! It has a light body with the newest super motor and a payload capacity up to 240g which can be compatible with popular smart phones!This is a must for beginners and anyone that wants to try a smartphone gimbal!I have a had a very enjoyable time taking photos with the gimbal and it’s nice to try something new and this gimbal is one you should try!Plus it gets you out the house to experience the real world - which I kind of forget about sometimes!

Every time I fitted the phone and switched on the gimbal, all I got was "gimbal overload" and "bluetooth disconnect". Returned for refund. Also the app doesn't load from the QR code in the instruction book, so use the app store to load it if you do buy one. It's a generous one star from me.

If you are looking for a smartphone gimbal then look no further! I’ve used this for a week and can’t really fault it. Having previously used the Zhiyun smooth 4, I’m fairly knowledgeable when it comes to smartphone gimbals and this one is on par with that in terms of stability. As a run and gun videographer portability is paramount and this certainly puts a big tick in that box.If you are looking for a smartphone gimbal then this is a serious contender.

AmazingSimply brilliant- I am a gimbal operator and have never used something like this but it’s great on both a prosumer and consumer levelFits in your pocketIt’ll never leave my camera back now or my handBrilliant footage

Honestly this gimble is absolutely amazing! The gimble is small and compactable. Easy to hold and roam around with especially for a film maker. It comes with a tripod which can also be used as a extender. The gimble does everything which it says it does, it has the stability of gimbles worth £1000 and this gimble is only £99! I highly recommend this to all the vloggers out there, its good for professional use and personal use.
