ATTENTION: Please note that reframing the shot with FeiyuTech is now possible as well. It is the same gesture as with Hohem... so from my tests, FeiyuTech certainly has the highest points...
Thank you so much for all you do here! I have and continue to learn so much from you! I appreciate your knowledge, kindness and willingness to share greatly! ðððŧ
You are very welcomeâĶ iâm glad that the videos are helping. Best wishes
I was just going to ask you about that....Thank you for updating us on the reframing. I just recieved my Hohem M6, I do not own a camera yet, only an iPhone Pro Max, is it worth getting the Feiyutech for $50 more? Thank you in advance!
You look so nice and interesting

Happy new year to you as well
Happy New Year Ma'am, this is super hard work, because of the cold in Canada!!! And so detailed !! Thank you so much ! This also tells me that I can never become a vlogger ðððĪŠ. Shall consider all the points before commenting, need to go through the video a few more times to note things down. Thanks again.
You are very welcome. You might be surprised but I prefer filming in cold weather rather then plus 35 degrees... lol... it is easier to bundle up and be warm then being way too hot...
Wishing you a very happy new year Zdenka. :)
Happy new year! Tons of health and happiness
Your review was exceptional! Thank you for sharing your experience
You are very welcome
Thank you for the comparison review
You are very welcome
Happy new yearð I have the Hohem m6 I donât like the look of the scorp, great content canât wait to see what great videos await 2024
Happy new year and thank you for sharing your thoughts
I also agree on the looks, the M6 is gorgeousâĶbut Iâm still returning my M6 for the Scorp.
Tak ja mÃĄm Scorp mini 2 a som spokojnÃ―, vÄaka aj za zÄūavu ð
I have been waiting for this since you mentioned it a few months ago. I bought the Hohem MT2 but I did not know about the Scorp Mini 2. My challenge with the MT2 was balancing the tilt axis with my compact cameras Sony RX100-VII and Sony 6300. Both of them are shorter than the Sony A7, so the centre of gravity is low and the slider will no go high enough, so I bought a SmallRig adaptor that raises the 1/4 in connector.
Thank you very much for living your experience. I had to do the same thing with other gimbals. It is quite common actually. If you have a camera which needs more weight, do you have to do that
Great comparison video. always good to have your assistants help out when needed. Your daughter makes me laugh !
ð
yeap.... Frenky-doo... she is trouble... next time I'll give her clear instructions.. lol

Your video helped in shortlisting a good all round gimbal
I am glad it was helpful
Happy New Year! Love the AI sensor, so either Scorp or MT2 for me. Hard choice!
Happy new year! Thank you for sharing your choice
Wonderful video! I ordered a Scorp MIni 2 three days ago and this video showed me that I made the right choice! Thanks!
You are very welcome. I think you will be quite happy

Thank you for this information, good job Zdenka ðĐðŋ
You are very welcome
I am going with the Zhiyun Crane M3S. Thank you!
You are very welcome best wishes
Happy New Year!!! Thank you so much for your reviews! I had ordered the Hohem iSteady M6 Kit which will be here Friday but after seeing the stability of the Feiyu SCORP Mini 2 and the fact that it will also work with other cameras not just my iPhone 15 Pro Max I am considering returning the M6 and ordering the Mini 2. The price point isnât that different and the Mini 2 seems easier to operate as well. Your view and opinion would be greatly appreciated here. ðâĪ
Update! I also noticed online (Amazon) that the Mini 2 has custom framing now when tracking! Firmware update maybe?ð
Happy new year! Thank you so much for pointing it out. I will do some research on that and possibly contact the company to see if they did edit the reframing feature there. It will be great if it was really working.
Excellent Video!! Thank you! ð
You are very welcome
Just received my scorp mini 2. It's really great. Very intuitive and excellent ergonomics. Only complaints would be the payload is small, and the 2 apps should be combined into one. Would be great if they extended support to more camera systems and action cams. They only support go pro connectivity but I use new ace pro.
Also I'm struggling to update the firmware, doesn't work on the two apps no matter what I try.
Lastly the counterweight you see in all the reviews is no longer included in the kit which is a bit disappointing.
Thank you so much for sharing.. the counterweights are not included? That is a bummer for sure. I wonder what CC the issue could be with firmware update. I had to try 2x but worked after allâĶ hopefully it will work for you soonâĶ, best wishes
@@ZdenkaDarula yes feiyutech confirmed in email they aren't included when I questioned it the other day
I'd go for Hohem but all these gimbals look really huge in your hand. They're also pretty attention grabbing, something I'm not looking for as I vlog on my phone. But all are great looking and eye candy for me the gear bunny. Happy new year Zdenka.
And I totally agree with you. If youâre only filming with your phone, you donât need to have three in one gimbal. Something as DJI I M6 or Hohem iSteady m6 should be enough
I would go with Zhihun. They have a distribution network here in the UK; I can walk into my local camera store & buy one off the shelf, and their tech support seems good. Things like regular firmware updates is a plus, too.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtsâĶ yes local store helps
@@ZdenkaDarula âĪïļ
Ahoi Zdenka. Thank you for this really good and informative video. After watching this I decided to give the Scorp mini 2 a chance. Can you remember if you heard any quiet high frequency sounds (like coil whine) while rotating the multifunctional knob? I am just trying to find out whether itâs a normal behavior of the gimbal or not.
HmâĶ you should not be hearing those sounds. I would check if there is no issue with the gimbal âĶ contact the seller
Thank you for the response. I contacted the manufacturer and they replied to me that it is a normal behavior. ð
Have a nice day.
Thanks for another great video , Scorp lookâs ok , âðŧ
You are very welcome.. yes Scorp is great.
Isteady would be for me useful...
May the coming year be filled with laughter, love, and light.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtsâĶ and all the best to the new year
Love the helpful vid!
I have the scorp mini 2, do you think I can balance a Beastgrip iPhone 15pro max cage on it comfortably ?ð
Thank you very much for your support. As I donât have that cage, I cannot say, but I think it should work. Again, I would have to test it.
Understood , thank you again ððð
excellent video, very enlighteningð
Thank you so much for your supportâĶ I am glad you liked it
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I've had my Osmo6 for a year and only just recently did I realize you cannot use the tracking with while live streaming on YT.ð
Yes unfortunately that one doesn't allow it. I am not sure when the Osmo 7 will come out.. some people are predicting any time now but who knows if it will have tracking... Hohem isteady M6 is only for smartphones and that one has that feature.
@@ZdenkaDarula I will be doing iPhone only shooting so I liked your comments about the Scorp phone clip. I am spoiled by the OSMO auto calibration but i'm willing to let that go. Keep up the great content!
I just got the FeiyuTech Scorp Mini 2 to use with my Samsung Galaxy S23+ Phone, and my DJI OSMO Action 3 Camera, Thanks for a good review...
You are very welcome. Enjoy the set up. I am sure you will be quite happy.
that was what I was looking for, perfect, in another reviews the tracking mode of Scorp Mine 2 was lost end the hohem was better in this vÃdeo I see the difference and I am impressed whit the scorp mine
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts
Thank you for the wonderful review.
I am filming with S23 ultra plus lenses.
I need AI tracking. This is a must.
I donât understand how to use a mic with Hohem because there is no room for the receiver. If I position the mare in a different way, it is unusual and makes different footage.
Can you recommend any gimbal with AI and the ability to use mic? Also, I need a button to quickly go vertical. Like with DJI4.
You are very welcome. Unfortunately, there is not really another gimbal with AI tracking like that.
Surprised with feiyu scorp mini 2 stabilisation it was damn steady than the other two
Me tooâĶ the stabilization is best for sure.. I will be using this one for a while âĶ.
that was also my impression, far best stabilisation
@@TripleU-E yeah it control the small shaky bumos very smoothly
Thank you for the test, so you can decide between the 3. I have an old Hohem +. One of the things that bothered me, there was never any update. In these three that you tested, Have you had any firmware updates? .
Another question is, it's worth noting that two brands sell the engines if necessary.
You are very welcome., yes, all those three gimbals get frequent updates. Unfortunately I am not sure if they sell parts separately.
Planning to buy scorp 2 ,need Ur advice ,using XT4 ,VILTROX 75mm 1.2
I wish I could answer but I am not familiar with that cameraâĶ look at their website, there should be a compatibility list
Happy New Year! ðâïļ
Happy new year!
ðð
Thank you, how do you switch on the light on the M3s gimbal, and the AI tracking sensor?
I unfortunately donât remember right now as I review so many gimbals. I show itinerary this video th-cam.com/video/J1k8GUUf9U0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zHdhzYI0MjIvmwnV
about tracking , can they track anything else with drawing in screen around a subject?
If you are using their app yes
Not sure if I missed you mentioning the Feiyu SCORP Mini 2 can you film with the blackmagic app for the iPhone 15 pro max? And I also see people using smallrig cages with a setup because iPhone has good stability in camera is a gimble still needed? Love to hear your thoughts, and insights I have a video shoot for a company product sent and looking for ideas on best setup for 15 pro max in blackmagic app
Gimbals is needdd for long shots and controlled shots. It is hard to keep horizon perfectly straight as you walkâĶ, you can only control shutter button in Blackmagic
Hello, ð
Out from curiosity, even if itâs not one of these gimbals, which one do you have for your personal use?
It is Hohem iSteady m6 at this moment
Which Gimble would you suggest for using with a phone camera cage and addon lens. Most of the mobile phone ones just wont open wide enough for the cage or the weight of the phone and cage is to heavy for it.
All 3 can handle that no problem.. there is no difference
You can reframe your shot on Feiyu Scorp Mini 2 as stated on their website. Same gesture as Hohem.
Thank you for mentioning it. Yes I did check already and it is now possible. I will make a pinned comment at the top to make sure this has been cleared out... this means that for me personally Scorp scored the highest points...

I'm currently looking for this kind of 4-in-1 stabilizer. Thank you for your insightful analysis, it helps me a lot!
You are very welcome. Best wishes.
I bought the Hohem iSteady M6 and shoot with an iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I am thinking about change it to the MT2 because using any external wireless microphone receiver makes the balance very off center, excellent comparison
Hm.. I wonder if you can stretch counter weightsâĶ they sell them.., the port there allows you to screw anything into it
Which external mic do you have? I just got my iStrady M6 today but after watching this video I ordered the Scorp mini 2.
@@robertquinonez_ I had the Fulaim X5 Wireless but just change it with a DJI Mic 2 that has Bluetooth capability
Feiyu Scorp Mini 2 is most stable, best sensor and most User friendly app. But Unfortunately not available in my country which is Pakistan. Anyways good informative video and Nice Family.
Thank you for sharing.. sorry to hear it is not available in your country
Hi Zdenka, I an noob in gimbals until some months ago when take in hand the Freefly Movi Cinema robot. About the Freefly, works well only when is figured out the balancing which is an stressful issue. The Freefly is limited for smartphones, so I write you because I see the presentation video isn't long time ago and is presented Feiyu Scorp Mini 2. Well I am confused because there are other similar such as Mini 3 and other Scorp Mini. Why have you chosen for Mini 2 and not the other Scorp Mini?
To end, I like to be busy with construction building rigs but the big issue of my concern is stabilization for old camcorder HDC-SD90 and iPhone SE2020.
As I am just an beginner in the Gimbal or stabilization world is it emportent that the Gimbal is technical not to complicated. I was after few time able to figured out the settings of the Freefly.
Thanks that you are there to share your talent with us, you are amazing.
Small sideways question, Have build big video rig that is placed on an big video tripod that can hold at least 12 kg. I searched me crazy to find an gimbal with no long hand grip, meaning an short basic connection with an 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch tripod screw possibility. Found the Modular Manfrotto but the base is long. The Moza Aircross 3 seem workable in case the arm grip is setting op 90°. Pity that I am not able to share photos, it would be easier to understand what I with limited English trying to explain.
Note: The Mini 2 is small, it will perhaps be place able on the selfmade rig.
Reminder/ the differences between several Scorp Mini Gimbals.
Luc from Belgium
Thank you very much for your comment. Your English is great. Mini 2 is newer model which has better features. This gimbal is quite simple to use so I would recommend it to a beginner. I hope this helps. Best wishes
Lady Zdenka, Your answer was an refreshment. I will searching for an best prices. Thanks to have given clarity and hope. Luc from Belgium
Hi hello nice review in this 23 gimbals. I just wanna ask did you tried and have an estimate on hoheim mt2 the lens you use weight and length. I want to use this on a Sony 135 lens. I want to know if its ok. Hope to receive a reply from you. Thank you
I unfortunately donât know that. I would have to test it to know for sure.
Thank you. Im planning to buy the mt2 but still not sure if i can use it in my sony 135 lens its kinda big and heavy.

Happy new year!!!!!
Question, can you use any camera app and still use AI tracking on the Feiyu Scorp?
Yes that is correct
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you ð
Which of these gimbal can withstand with the payload of DSLRs such as D7000 with Lenses
You have to weigh that set up and compare it with the maximum payload
Great comparison but moza air cross s should be included
Thank you but sadly it doesnât work for me as it is for right handed people and I am leftie
@@ZdenkaDarula ohh really....i am also lefty...ð
Really it's a,sad thing but that gimbal has great payload and stronger stabilisation Machineries
Hi, great review, really nice to see so detailed a comparison. One thing I have never seen though is any comments on the corporate social responsibility stances of these companies. I get that the tech is the most important question for most people, but say you were undecided between Hohem and Feyutech, for me, if i thought one had a better ethical policy that would be a clear decider. I have even written to insta360 and feyutech to ask their policy.... no meaningful response. I guess we just have to assume they are all equally crap when it comes to the environment, labour practices and the minerals are probably coming from war zones. I wonder if you have any insight?
Unfortunately I donât study companies and their work ethics so I am not able to helpâĶ sorryâĶ I am searching for good and helpful products
I am from India, your video os beutiful âĪâĪâĪðð
Thank you so much, lots of greetings to India
Crane M3S: Has anyone been successful with controlling aperture or ISO through the user interface on the M3S by using the usb-C cable on a camera (tried with a Canon RP) as Zhiyun states works with Crane M3S on their support website? I canât find any how-to info or see any settings on the M3S display about this. Just being able to get the shutter (start/stop) to workâĶ
As I cannot answer it as hopefully somebody else will..
My bad. I realize that reading the manual from time to time actually helps! ð
I found it by just scrolling in the scroll wheel settings and can choose one of the functions. Incl. electronic focus which surprised me works!
So now I have both the M3S and the SCORP Mini 2 because of you @ZdenkaDarula! Having too many gimbals thanks to you! ðð

Ahoj Zdenka, dalsie super porovnanie. Chcel by som sa opytat ohladom Hohem MT2 kit. Chcel by som natacat na mobil a planoval som kupit isteady M6 ale momentalne je MT2 kit za velmi dobru cenu. Chcel by som sa opytat ktory je z hladiska pouzivania lepsi a pre ktory by si sa rozhodla. Moja priorita je rozsah pohybov a praktickost. Pri M6 sa mi paci moznost rychlo otocit orientaciu vyska/sirka. Pri MT2 sa mi paci uzamykanie motorov a rozsah pohybu pri natacani na vysku. Vyzera ze clovek nezavadi o mobil ak prejde s ruckou prilis hore. Ani jeden som ale nemal moznost drzat v ruke. Kedze ty s nimi aktivne pracujes, ktory by bol tvoj favorit? Dakujem pekne
AhojâĶ pokud budete pouze natÃĄÄet s mobilem tak M6 je mnohem jednoduÅĄÅĄÃâĶ Mt2je hlavnÄ pro vÄtÅĄÃ kamery s sestavenà je sloÅūitÄjÅĄÃâĶ. DoufÃĄm ze vÃĄm to pomÅŊÅūe. PÅeji hezky den
Ahoj Zdenka, dakujem velmi pekne za radu a odpoved. Na toto som cakal pre finalne rozhodnutie. Idem teda vyskusat M6. Pri MT2 ma zaujala znizena cena ale na cestovanie bude asi naozaj praktickejsia M6. Prajem pekny den. Tomas

@@lauriephilp hahahahah facts
Oh, you are far off.. I cannot give you the best gimbal because if you have Android chances are that the gimbal is not gonna work with your phone. You have to choose gimbal according to your phone model and what do you need and what you film.., these type of comments, only spread his information
Please guys use your brains
If you listen in the video, you have to find out what is compatible with your phone you have. Then you have to think if you need beginners gimbal or you are capable of handling something which is more advanced.. this is the reason I cannot tell you what gimbal is the best.., if you are brand new, go with the beginner, friendly gimbal and then check compatibility if your phone is good for this product
