AK4500 together with dual handle girp, perfect matched.
The build quality of the gimbal is phenomenal and it feels very solid and durable.
Detachable under slam is good idea design. I can use it as I needed. The Cage design is very helpful for a long time shooting.
*BANG* This little lens holder ( the Y thingy) changes a lot. I was able to get my EOS R with a Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 working but it felt kinda weak. Now with the Y it feels much more stable. Simple but effective.
I have never heard of that item. I use a beholder DS1 and it did not come with it. Sometimes it wobbles, is that thing sold separately as a generic thing? How does it work? why does it help?
@@AndresArosemena It comes with the AK4500 and I don´t know how it exactly works. I mean it supports the lens somehow by holding it from below but anyway it works.
Came in for the gimbal. Stayed for the girl.
Thank you for the sharing. Nice video. Feiyutech AK4500 is so professional for all photographers. The touch control screen that i love most. and you can use the gimbal without using the phones. Super experience.
Easy to operate it. I can handle my D7500 very well with this gimbal. You can lock the 3 arms. The batteries work long time.
with the dual handle, it looks very professional
Never really had any big problem with this gimbal and like it a lot. I have had the 85mm rf 1.2 on it and it works which is very front heavy set up, you may need to use the top brace provided just to help it to not wobble. The base plate can flex a little causing this problem. But with a eos r with a 35mm rf works easy. The auto adaption button also helps with jitters. I really like using the underslung with the carbon extension, very easy to hold and use. If you want to do fast rotations, you need to take it out of pan mode as it response is quite slow, which i find is a good thing on lower frame rates like 24 and 30. It can sometimes be a pain and get the wobbles, but i have found it is due to the base plate is not really secure and it does this as it has a small contact area, re adjust the plate or fit the brace, then it is all good.
That’s good to hear because I struggle to balance/operate it with the r6 with the 24-105
Setup took a few minutes extra, but it was worth it. Everything you want in a gimbal, and it’ll hold a lot of weight.
This was a very cool video! Y’all are awesome!The touch screen made on gimbal was cool,and only feiyu did it!A very creative gimbal brand
I'm trying to decide on my first gimbal - it's so difficult because there's so much choice. This gimbal seems to get very good reviews tho.
Great product. By using the grip handles is convenient for working.
Thanks budy your comment and videos seen amazing always
I bought one of these and have an a7r iv with a 16-35. I've spent a ton of time trying to get it to balance perfectly. I get a lot of motor hum from the upper most motor, which should be the easiest to balance. I'm not using the lens support......I guess I better try it before I cry too much.....
Can you still rotate the camera to a 9:16 with the ring set up
Does this product come with the wheel for the follow focus inside the kit or i have to buy it separately?
any chance you think this gimbal could support the canon c70?
the ring looks good, because it looks powerful and more stable.
Hi! Just purchased the AK4500 and excited to use it but I can't get My Canon 5D Mark iv to connect tp the gimbal!! Sure the gimbal; works but I have the usb connected directly to it and I can't control the shutter. Anyone else have that problem? Can control the auto focus but that's about it. When the usb is connected the recored button does not work on the camera. In fact no functions on the camera directly work.
I've contacted her directly and no go. Any advice would be appreciated!!
So i'm having some of those similar issues on my zhiyun crane 3s (trembling and such) using the c70 and a tamron 28-75mm lens. I will try it with the lens support but do you have any other suggestions that might help?
Nice Video, I use the AK4000 an yes it's nice i love the Cage too but the Crane 2 in my opinion makes a better job and is smoother.
Did you tried it with the BMPCC 4K and the Sigma 18-35?
Wilson am waiting...
Are you able to connect the bmpcc to the gimbal software to be able to control the camera? I.e. start and stop the camera when recoding? If so how?!
Is it compatible with ak2000s?
You are absolutely correct. This Gimbal is not suitable for action. In quick pans i wont be able to keep up. For everything else, it works.
@@damiencooper this gimbal is quite smooth though. This is my first gimbal, i bought it last month. I wont be shooting anything super fast so i went with this otherwise Ronin S was the clear winner. This gimbal is modular and it comes in a damn good package. I shot my forth video yesterday and this thing is extremely versatile!
@@MysticApertureStudios nice to hear - I'm looking for my first gimbal and this gimbal seems to be a good choice.
@@markshirley01 i hope so. If one isnt shooting basketball games while standing right next to the players, i guess this gimbal will work.
What about dance videos? I need something that can do dance videos as well as sometimes cinematic ones.
Among DJI and AK4500 which one do i choose? Any other option to consider?
@@Rahulk03 i havent used a ronin so i cant tell the experience of it but i have watch a lot of videos on youtube and i concluded that no single gimbal is a perfect gimbal. DJI is a very good gimbal and the only advantage i think DJI has over AK4500 is being very responsive in sports mode. For music videos and cinematic shots any damn gimbal will work just fine as long as it doesnt suffer from micro jitters and vibrations. I have shot 6 dance videos with AK4500 and i didnt experience any micro jitters or weird shivers on this. I'm not saying that AK4500 is the perfect gimbal, it has some issues with its dead angle settings, i mailed feiyutech and they told me that their software team is already working on it and it'll be taken care of in a firmware upgrade.
Here is a link to one of the videos i shot and i use nikon d7100 for my video work. Its a quite pathetic video cam.

I would love to get this for my bmpcc but the huge differences between these youtube reviews (little to no problems) and actual buyer reviews on b&h, adorama, and amazon (tons of issues with pieces not working together, jitter, etc) makes me really nervous. I just have a hard time believing that the experiences of these people can be so different and it makes me uneasy about buying this. I would love a review that mentions one issue that isn't like 'oh, i just needed to get used to this quirk and it's all good.' This review was actually pretty balanced but I want to know: did the lens support solve the jitter and issues with the larger lenses once and for all or not?
I try not to watch these reviews because they are all sponsored...if the user has less followers I feel like its more believe-able. However...here I am.
Hey man, do you happen to knownif it can handle a 1dxmk2 with a standard zoom? Thanks
Hey there! Do u still has the dual handle? If so do u want to sell it?
Sold it long ago
Nice video. Can this gimbal be good for canon c70?
def not. Go for the DJI RS2
@@damiencooper Thanks
Does it works with a Nikon d810?
Very good video. Any idea when I lock my gimbal in LK mode it switch to Panning mode. Also in lock mode the camera 'wonders' away :( Disappointed no software control for Fuji!
@@damiencooper did you find a solution?
IMHO, it's the most feature rich gimbal among competition. However, in stability and smoothness department it's the worst, too shaky, jittery and too abrupt.
@@damiencooper I was on a verge of buying it but postponed it until more reviews comes out. And every single review reveals same jittery, shaky and not smooth footage. When panning or doing orbiting shots there is really noticeable robotic feel to it.
Coming from Crane Plus I could zoom in and out without rebalancing gimbal and it would be ok for shorter takes. However, seeing you have to use this Y thingy - lens support even for normal use, I'm not confident I could do the same thing with AK4500
@@damiencooper the panning is worst at the least motor sensitivity with dead angle set at half way.
feiyu new product ak2000 can also match this accesories.
Rethinking my dji gimbals now
Anyone with canon R6 and 24-105 struggle with this gimbal
pretty girl, feiyu AK4500 really attractive gimbal and friendly for filmmakers
Dang. Suddenly I've forgotten what I'm even doing here.
Great, video :) removed the old comment.
Arrrr 6.25 in the first time I heard this ! th-cam.com/video/hI9h17jOFpE/w-d-xo.html I find the camera just does it own thing and find it difficult to stay steady. (Fuji XT-3) Must be doing something very wrong.
