Appreciate it if you guys can drop a Like, thanks! ***Quick note, I did test it in the rain, and it worked perfectly fine. I forgot to add it into the video 😬
Best mic for the price is gonna be the Saramonic G mic, there's a link in the description in this video. It's $30. Step up from there is the Rode VideoMicro. Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/FYOycTI2-ls/w-d-xo.html
Actually you CAN turn on the GoPro (while it's attached to the gimbal), just use the voice command ''GoPro Turn On". Note: When using the HERO6 Black camera, you can use Voice Control to turn on the camera for up to 8 hours after the camera has been turned off. Voice Control must be enabled and you must also turn on the option "Wake on Voice." When using Fusion or HERO5 cameras alone, Voice Control is not enabled while the camera is powered off. If using Remo, you can power the camera on remotely using Voice Control.
understandably the settings button on the side being covered is an inconvenience but just turn it on before hand and use the WiFi to connect with your phone if you really needed too change the settings ....it is a lot of work but just an option 4:12
I recently saw this product on different website and I've been waiting for your review. very useful, thank you so much, really appreciate the work you've put in
First video smart enough to show where the charger slot is .. thanks. NIce sound from that microphone, just searched ... not compatible with Hero 5 though. I wonder if I can run a wire from a wired lavalier (and the gopro 5 microphone adapter) and the gimbal will still work as it would without.
Thank you Jeremy, this is a great review! I was trying to figure out if this gimbal was worth buying since I have the GoPro Hero 5 (LOTS of audio issues). After watching this I ended up ordering the GoPro Hero 4 Silver, the Feiyu gimble and also the Saramonic mic haha!
i stuck with feiyu tech for a couple years but after purchasing this and trying it out, i gotta say i was highly disappointed. returned it and bought another g4s instead. this g5 was very unresponsive. motor noises very obnoxious. will try out other gimbals for hero5
Nice review but I put my Hero 4 lens first into the Feiyu, opposite to what you demonstrated. I used to do it like you but then the camera can come loose or even fall out of the gimbal as the screw does come loose when you trek or run with it. Also, you didn't mention the ability to charge the GoPro from the gimbal and the fact that you can buy extra battery(gimbal's) easily which is easy to cary around with.
pinkze he say " wow I watched a little of this video, but just watched it all and you have done a really helpful video. I have to say the best in depth review of any gimbal and the best on the Feiyu G5. I will now buy this for my RC You Tube channel. I think also footage is really good when stabilisation on Gopro as well. Big thank you and like ! "
Hey, thank you so much for letting me know it helped! All my gimbal reviews are very in depth. I'd definitely check out some of the other gimbals I've tested so make a better comparison. You're welcome :)
Hey Jeremy, another fine video review. Thanks for taking the time to bring us the information. Makes shopping for these and other items easier. Your reviews are 5 stars.
Thanks for another great gear review! You are really helping me figure out what gimbal I am going to get. Side point, not sure if those last few seconds were done like that on purpose or not, but they were hilarious!
Not sure why anyone would want to use the GoPro mic for anything requiring decent audio in the first place. Did you try the Saramonic G mic with the Hero 5 and the Feiyu? Also, does anyone pair the Hero 5 with an IPhone to monitor footage while shooting with a gimbal?
Can you adjust the tilt in follow mode? So if you were holding it like you were filming your feet but wanted the camera facing forward, not down. I know karma can do this but trying to find a different gimbal that can as well.
Would the holder also take the GoPro 4 with waterproof case on? All reviews I have seen say the gimbal is splash proof but do not show it holding the GoPro with waterproof case. Great vid many thanks.
What a helpful review ..... well done pal ... at least I have made my mind now .. just one last thing , is there no way to have such a mic for go pro 5
Great review mate. I just bought it new for USD$116, think it's a decent price for what it offers. I'd love a more expensive one but we can't have everything hey. Cheers.
I'm considering purchasing a gimble for go pro 3. Watching reviews has me somewhat indecisive now to which one is my best option for action video such as videoing at skateparks or utilizing the chesty mount while riding. Since it's an investment, i'd like to have the best option available. TIA.
Hi Jeremy, thank you for your review. May I ask you, if you have encountered that the G5 turns off when the gopro hero 4 is being charged thru the G5? If yes, may I ask if you have any advice on how to fix this problem. Thank you.
Great Video, thanks for doing it. My question is you say it's not the top of the line gimbal. Which would you say is? I'll be using the Hero 6.. Cheers.
This was so indepth! Thank you so much! I have had such trouble with motor noise on my hero5. Have you tried using an external mic plus a gimbal on the hero5? I've been avoiding paying for the adapter in the chance it won't work with the gimbal.
Where do I find the Serial number ??? Also I have a Sony FDR-X3000 You want to completely balance the camera so it's level correct???? mine leans forward??
Great review man! The shots looked a little shaky from the gimbal. I would love to see a comparison between the Gopro Karma Grip and the G5. Thanks Keep up the great work!
Jeremy, first thanks so much for your videos, they are very helpful! I have a couple questions; Do you prefer the Feiyu or the Karma gimbal? Also, Have you tested any mics with the Gopro 5?
For me it's between the REMOVU S1 and and the GoPro Karma Grip. Only mics I've tested with the HERO5 is the Rode VideoMicro. Been using it on my vlog channel.
Hey Jeremy, Thanks for the awesome review!!! Quick questions does it have the same feature i believe i has seen in the past models. Where you can charge the GoPro by cable while its being used?
No problem! So it comes with a short USB cable to charge the HERO4. I haven't been able to get it to work though. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Another thing is that the USB cable is really short, so it pulls on the gimbal tilting the GoPro on an angle. So if it did charge, your GoPro would have a crooked horizon. One work around would be to use a longer USB cable. But still, I can't get it to charge from the gimbal.
I like the video. But my question is why is it so much noise? I use go pro hero 5 and using wind only even try the stereo only but still soooo much noisy from the motor😰
Aya Cataga don’t buy G5 can’t really do anything to make the motor noise gone. I returned the G5 the next day because of the noise. And i exchange with dji osmo mobile is better you can multiple use with phone and go pro. Just buy the mount plate for go pro to use in dji osmo mobile

Jeremy Sciarappa would you recommend a Mic for a go pro. I have a growing channel and want to vlog. thanks

Jeremy Sciarappa yeah I have been watching your vids recently. Very good. thank you

You re one of the few people who actually tests the audio! Thanks! I'm so confused I don't know which gimbal is better for my GoPro for vlogs 🙈
understandably the settings button on the side being covered is an inconvenience but just turn it on before hand and use the WiFi to connect with your phone if you really needed too change the settings ....it is a lot of work but just an option 4:12
Just to say you can fit the hero5 with the mode button on the outside so you can still change modes as the hero5 has auto image rotation
whole newly improved gimbal,perfect fit with gopro cam
I recently saw this product on different website and I've been waiting for your review. very useful, thank you so much, really appreciate the work you've put in
Best Reviews for Gimbals on TH-cam! Thx for your work.
Thanks a lot Mac! Got 3 more gimbal reviews coming!
First video smart enough to show where the charger slot is .. thanks.
NIce sound from that microphone, just searched ... not compatible with Hero 5 though.
I wonder if I can run a wire from a wired lavalier (and the gopro 5 microphone adapter) and
the gimbal will still work as it would without.

this g5 was very unresponsive. motor noises very obnoxious. will try out other gimbals for hero5
FeiyuTech improves the voice-recording performance for the new WG2. They use buffering noise-reduction cotton. You can try in the way they did.
Nice review but I put my Hero 4 lens first into the Feiyu, opposite to what you demonstrated. I used to do it like you but then the camera can come loose or even fall out of the gimbal as the screw does come loose when you trek or run with it.

Hey Jeremy, another fine video review. Thanks for taking the time to bring us the information. Makes shopping for these and other items easier. Your reviews are 5 stars.
Thanks for the comprehensive review on the gimbal.
Thanks for another great gear review! You are really helping me figure out what gimbal I am going to get.
Side point, not sure if those last few seconds were done like that on purpose or not, but they were hilarious!
No problem, glad it helps! Lol not on purpose, that was one of the many takes I do 😂😂😂
Not sure why anyone would want to use the GoPro mic for anything requiring decent audio in the first place. Did you try the Saramonic G mic with the Hero 5 and the Feiyu?
Also, does anyone pair the Hero 5 with an IPhone to monitor footage while shooting with a gimbal?
You can mount the gopro into it where all the controls are accessable
Can you adjust the tilt in follow mode? So if you were holding it like you were filming your feet but wanted the camera facing forward, not down. I know karma can do this but trying to find a different gimbal that can as well.
Would the holder also take the GoPro 4 with waterproof case on? All reviews I have seen say the gimbal is splash proof but do not show it holding the GoPro with waterproof case.
Great vid many thanks.
What a helpful review ..... well done pal ... at least I have made my mind now .. just one last thing , is there no way to have such a mic for go pro 5
With the counterweight on, that part of the gimbal with the counterweight scrapes the top of the handle when rotating. Is that natural?
Great review mate. I just bought it new for USD$116, think it's a decent price for what it offers. I'd love a more expensive one but we can't have everything hey. Cheers.
I'm considering purchasing a gimble for go pro 3. Watching reviews has me somewhat indecisive now to which one is my best option for action video such as videoing at skateparks or utilizing the chesty mount while riding. Since it's an investment, i'd like to have the best option available. TIA.
REMOVU S1 or the Karma Grip are great choices. Not 100% sure if the Karma Grip is compatible with the HERO3 though.
Hi Jeremy, thank you for your review. May I ask you, if you have encountered that the G5 turns off when the gopro hero 4 is being charged thru the G5? If yes, may I ask if you have any advice on how to fix this problem. Thank you.
Great Video, thanks for doing it. My question is you say it's not the top of the line gimbal. Which would you say is? I'll be using the Hero 6.. Cheers.
Excellent review, good clear explanations .
Jeremy can you make a video on the akaso ek7000 4k action camera that would be awesome
This was so indepth! Thank you so much! I have had such trouble with motor noise on my hero5. Have you tried using an external mic plus a gimbal on the hero5? I've been avoiding paying for the adapter in the chance it won't work with the gimbal.
Jeremy whats the difference between this and v2 ps i hate my gopro 5 had to buy an adapter and rode mic
it is compatible for session, but you will need to buy a separate adapter for it, there is plenty on Ebay but there all in china :(
I watched this entire video, and It helped me a lot! Very interesting, very informative and I learned a lot
Where do I find the Serial number ??? Also I have a Sony FDR-X3000 You want to completely balance the camera so it's level correct???? mine leans forward??
Jeremy did u try external mic with hero 5? I was wondering if the gimbal can handle already heavy hero5 with extra mic adapter and mic on it. Thanks
Where to buy a holder for the GoPro session 5, in order to connect this to the Feiyu Tech G5???
Feiyu G5 vs. Removu S1 ?? which one is better.
Thats my question also, why no reply to Kenneth's question Jeremy?
I would go feiyu g5
Very thorough review thanks for taking the time
is this not the V2 version? on the Feyu website, i can't tell if they are selling the V2 or not
If you could only have one gimble, which one would you get. Btw. Loving your videos.
Great review man! The shots looked a little shaky from the gimbal. I would love to see a comparison between the Gopro Karma Grip and the G5. Thanks Keep up the great work!
Jeremy, first thanks so much for your videos, they are very helpful! I have a couple questions; Do you prefer the Feiyu or the Karma gimbal? Also, Have you tested any mics with the Gopro 5?
For me it's between the REMOVU S1 and and the GoPro Karma Grip. Only mics I've tested with the HERO5 is the Rode VideoMicro. Been using it on my vlog channel.
Did you use the gopro remote/app to begin / end recording?
But u haven't tested hero 5 with mic adapter
Lokesh Swami - you cant when it’s plugged into a gimbal...no access
you can just flip the gopro upside down and mount it that way with access to the port
Great video man!! Really good job
sad that when using the gopro 4, can't use the water proof case incase it rains or something!
Hi there Jeremy, thanks for the nice review and tests you've done!
I wonder which gimbal would you suggest instead of G5.
Either the REMOVU S1 or the Karma Grip. I'm testing a new one now. Check it out on my Instagram.
Great, I'll be anxiously waiting for your next reviews...
By the way, what's your opinion about using Osmo Mobile and GoPro5 (with the adapter)?
Which of these gimbal would you recommend, now that you have tested these?
Feiyu G5, Karma or REMOVU S1?
How does this compare to the zhiyun smooth-q, crane-m, or crane v2?
Does the gopro 3+ fit in the gimbal with the LCD touchbac attached to it?
Is there an adapter for the Feiyu G5 so that you can use a cell phone with it?
what does the single button do on the reverse of the main three. cheers
Bahhhh I just came to Bali but forgot the counterweights for my Gopro 5, so annoyed.
hey bud... can share your hero 4 setting on this vid.
Hey Jeremy, Thanks for the awesome review!!! Quick questions does it have the same feature i believe i has seen in the past models. Where you can charge the GoPro by cable while its being used?
No problem! So it comes with a short USB cable to charge the HERO4. I haven't been able to get it to work though. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

One work around would be to use a longer USB cable. But still, I can't get it to charge from the gimbal.
That's a bit odd. Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.
Yeah it is. Here's a closer look: imgur.com/a/sjNVq
Jeremy Sciarappa yes thats really short. I guess charge when not in use. appreciate it man.
Awesome in-depth review!
why is the gimbal noise almost non-existant on the hero4 but so loud on the hero5?
Any issue with the gimbal overheating and stops working?
Can the gimbal attached gopro with casing on it?
Is it wearable? I'm looking for a gimbal that I can use while riding a bike.
Thanks for sharing
Can the gimbal turn on and off camera via bluetooth?
hi there!is this compatible with sjcam 7sstar?merci.
I like the video. But my question is why is it so much noise? I use go pro hero 5 and using wind only even try the stereo only but still soooo much noisy from the motor😰
IRIS playtime is the G5 is really good? how is the sound from the motor? can't decide which one to buy. using hero 6
Aya Cataga don’t buy G5 can’t really do anything to make the motor noise gone. I returned the G5 the next day because of the noise. And i exchange with dji osmo mobile is better you can multiple use with phone and go pro. Just buy the mount plate for go pro to use in dji osmo mobile
thank you for the good advice . really appreciate it.
your welcome. enjoy your new set up :-)
"Hey, what's happening Guys?" wow! that's original
Muy buen video! Gracias.
Does the seramonic mic work with the h6 ?
Is this gimbal compatible with Gitup Git2?
thanks, i ordered it after watching this video
Great review, Thank you.
did you edit your gopro hero 4 footage ? of not, whats your settings ?
Didn't do any editing to the footage. Shot in 4K30, Protune on, with GoPro Color.
Thanks. This one or the Removu S1 or G4 from Feiyu?
REMOVU S1 all the way
Can you explain why? What about the Zhiyun?
Does it work with a waterproof housing
Nope not with this gimbal, but with the REMOVU S1. Replied to your other comment on my recent video.
Thank you! Subbed.
and Sj cam SJ7 STAR??
Bro is it compatible to sony action cam?
Could I not just use a external mic with the hero 5 ?
Not with the gimbal.
‚...again through the garbage can... „. Haha... you made my day! :-D
....now I‘m Running... oh, my neighbours... better turn around... Running back! :-D
Thx for the Review. Awesome
I order the wrong one :( I order one that’s for the hero 4 and not the 5 and I can’t cancel my purchase :(
Just out of curiosity. Will this gimbal work with a Hero 3+ with a view finder attached to the back?
Geojerry's Adventures it will work with the 3+, i dont know if it will work with a viewfinder.
Geojerry's Adventures This is what I was wondering
I just bought a feiyu tech spg gimbal and it works with my galaxy phone and hero 3+ with view finder attached.
No, the longest screws are still not long enough to fit the battery back or the screen.
Thanx....Best review ever !!!!!
great video , thanks
