Just a heads-up! Huion is having a sale from March 12th to April 12th for a lot of their tablets which is really exciting! You could snag a great deal on something like the KAMVAS 13 or models like it. I'd appreciate it if you used this link to purchase: store.huion.com?af_code=P4OD0H
I just bought it so I'm watching reviews to hold me over until it arrives. I didn't see this review when I was considering my purchase but it's so calming and chill while still being comprehensive
same lol, it gets here tomorrow
Can I buy it now hello please reply
Hey! Just as a heads-up, I just recently reviewed the Huion KAMVAS Pro 24 - a much more powerful version of the KAMVAS 13 here: th-cam.com/video/CwXigEmLuTk/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgznUFyyNz9gZbRprwd4AaABAg
Let me know your thoughts over there!
i've been looking to purchase this tablet but was waiting for some reviews! Thanks for making this, it'll help me to make my final decision!
i order mine 3 days ago. You can check Aliexpress and get som discount coupons !
Glad it was helpful! It's worth a try, for sure!
I just ordered mine tonight and I'm so excited for it! I had a drawing tablet before, but it's super old! This will be my first pen display and I can't wait till it comes in, ahhh!
update us when you get it!!
So I got it a few weeks ago or less and it works like a dream! I couldn't have asked for anything better!
There is something I noticed today though that bugs me a bit. Like the fact that I don't press anywhere near harsh on it, and the screen got a bit scuffed up. You can't see the scratches unless you use a light at a certain angle and that the tablet is off, but still. Nothing is indestructible though and with friction there are bound to be marks, so key of advice is to GET A SCREEN PROTECTOR lmao!
@@xtoritwilightx so... Is this tablet still good to buy?
@@wolffwoo27 Yes definitely!! Just make sure you get a screen protector for it if you want to be extra safe and keep it in great condition!
It's also very good for it's price especially if you are just starting out!
@@xtoritwilightx where should i buy that screen protector... btw... I already placed an order a week ago... But it didn't arrive yet... I really2 cant wait to see it before my eyes... Aaaaa... I hope I will love this as u said...🥺🥺
Dude your glamour shots of the tablet with the plants *french chef kiss* so fancy. all your shots look great actually.
I'm here for the review since I ordered a green version of the tablet, but im subscribing for your
* Q U A L I T Y C O N T E N T *
Do you think having light on your desk will improve or hinder the brightness of the tablet?
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed the content and most importantly, I hope you enjoy the KAMVAS 13!
I love this review! Smooth transitions and nicely done shots. Also, respect for 1440p resolution
Thank you! Thanks for stopping by!
been wanting something like this since before I bought my very first tablet. As soon as i finish my workstation/gaming PC upgrade i'm picking up one of these to replace my tiny intuos tablet that i've been itching to upgrade for the last 2-3 years now. Problem for me has been price and features, for a while it felt like the newest tablets were full on PC tablets which while nice was over the top for my needs. Normal Display tablets i'd look into felt like the features offered were a little dated compared to how much they were asking for. I'm glad a entry level display tablet likes this with modern features exists.
Its tempting to wait until their new pro tablets come out, with this much in the basic they must have extra features coming in the pro, maybe even something like touch, or a higher resolution screen (though it wouldn't really matter much at 13in would it?).
It came out the pro 16 4k it’s $900.
Stand and usb c to usb c cable are separate add on's fyi
Might be wrong on stand, however cable is separate
nah stand is separate too
stand is separate, but you can find a version on amazon that has the stand for like 10 dollars more, so if you plan on buying the stand too do it from there
@@violetsb7000 if you buy direct from Huions website there is an accessories configurator
Looking to buy this! Is there coupons you can add to get this for cheaper?
I ordered it 2 days ago! I went from the kamvas gt191 to this one. Mostly because i need the portability and shortcut keys. Im excited to get it!
Great! I think you'll be happy with it.
hello! I need help. did you pay some prepaid custom tax on yours? I'm from the US and I'm uncertain if I need to include that. Thanks for the help.
@@elijahantor i didnt, i live in the US too
Have you received yours yet? I ordered mine a week ago and still don't have it yet :(
@@emouthic556 no not yet :/ i emailed them and they said that they just did a restock on the 20th.
Wow. I just discovered your channel and I'm in love with how smooth and pretty your video editation is.

Congrats for the good work and great review.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Im getting one and well im excited lmao but i got a question , Does the tablet gets the glow included? Im buying mines in amazon and it shows the glow there im not sure.
The glove should be included in the packaging, so I wouldn't worry!
@@TechSummitTV Hello! , Today i just got the tablet and it has everything included but i had lots of problems (Mostly with the driver) , In the morning i would be trying it on CSP to see if it works.
@@gabycs_ What kind of problems? I have had the kamvas 13 for like a week, but it works fine
I've tried to set up mine but it won't connect to my laptop at all, any ides why?
If it has a USB C port, then just use the single USB C cable. If doesn't have one or if it doesn't work, then use the breakout cable. Make sure your computer has at least 2 USB ports and an HDMI port available. It should be able to display. If not, try downloading the drivers first.
You solve the problem?
@@TechSummitTV the usb-c to usb-c isn't included
Can you make a video how to set it up? I am having trouble finding a way for my laptop screen to be displayed exactly on my Kamvas 13 screen
Huion has a video on that
What's exactly the downsides between this and the Kamvas Pro 13? I've found them at exactly the same price and it feels weird having to decide between the pro and the standard newer version
(Late reply) The biggest difference is that the pro has a glass screen. Thats pretty much it.
@@swizzy1878 (later reply) Also the pen is better on this one
The kamvas 13 pro is matte. The kamvas 13 is glossy but with a matte screenprotector
I saw this tablet on google and i really wanted to see if it was a good tablet. You helped me immensly with choosing what tablet i should buy. Thanks a lot!
I'm very happy to have helped!
So.. did u buy it?
wolffwoo 27 No not yet because I don’t have enough money but I think I’m going to buy it after my birthday.
@@noutzanders3428 aaa i see... Hope u will get it as yours after that...
Is it possible to use a pc with this instead of a laptop or do i need a laptop for this
does the USB-C cable work well with USB 2.0?
Hey man ! Awesome review. I actually really want to buy that tablet !
Is it possible to also use the tablet as a second monitor ? So I will have my laptop on one side and a second monitor on the other side for other works (video editing)
Thanks a lot !
Of course! I also use it as a secondary monitor on one computer.
@@TechSummitTV Well... gonna purchase it right away haha
Thanks for the super quick reply ;)
omg, thank you so much for reviewing this tablet! i finally know which tablet im definitely going to buy. one question, so all of that extra stuff like the stand, pen stand ect. is included when you buy the tablet? thank you so much again this is such a big help!
The pen, pen stand, cable and glove are included, but the stand for ur tablet costs around 20 dollars
Tell me if I'm going crazy, but is this a technoblade animation? 2:45
No, but only Sketchbook Pro.
I'm stuck between the Kamvas 13 creator kit (comes with stand and usb-c) and the xp-pen artist13.3 Pro... Would you recommend one over the other?
Hey man Nice review!! You have got really nice way of shooting the review, and I like your Voice tone and texture a lot too (it matters more than people think). One suggestion, plan out your sentences, so you won't have to jump cut so many times in middle of sentences. Apart from that top-notch. Keep going :)
thank you for the review. i think i will buy it now
Hope you like it!
How is it working for you so far?
Hey great review! Do you know if this comes with a stand or do you have to buy that separately? Thanks!
Hi! Thank you. This doesn't come with the stand, it's a seperate purchase.
(Late reply) On amazon they sell the same product with the stand, glove, and replacement tips for $260. So if you havent bought it, id recommend getting it through that.
I want to ask, is needed to put some kind of screen protector on the display? I dont want to see scratchs on the display
And thanks for the review!
No, Huion gives you an anti-glare screen protector! Just peel off the one with the orange stickers, and you'll see the anti-glare one.
@@inkywinki2254 thank you so much!
@@sapphiriss You're very welcome!
I am between this and Xp-pen artist 12 pro (same price, more or less, on aliexpress). I read that the wobbly line issue that Huion had has been fixed with a firmware update. Is is true or will I end up with a tablet that can't create good quality lines?
I'm planning to buy this tablet but I'm kinda newbie for this stuff so I need help. On the side you can choose which cable. The classic or usb one. But what is USB C cable? I've heard it in couple of reviews and I'm confused. Is it something that I ned to buy extra or does it come with the tablet?
The USB C port/cable is the most common form of USB connection used by most smartphones and tablets as of today. The cable is included in the box, a long with a breakout cable. Essentially, if your computer doesn't have a USB C port, then the breakout cable will convert that USB C connection into 2 regular USB cables and an HDMI cable so that you can connect it to pretty much anything.
I recently purchased the Kamvas 13 Pro. I have it hooked up to my MacBook Pro. I’m having a problem with no pen pressure in Photoshop. The pen pressure works great in the driver test window but barely works at all in Photoshop. I press as hard as I can and the brush size barely changes at all. I’ve tried reinstalling the driver. I’ve tried 2 versions of photoshop, 18 and 20. I’ve tried using different USB C ports on my laptop. I’ve restarted both the tablet and laptop multiple times. I’ve made sure the app is accepted in my security preferences. I’ve tried changing the pen nib. I’ve made sure pen pressure is enabled in the photoshop brushes. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Please help! I love the accuracy and feel of the tablet but if pen pressure doesn’t work in Photoshop I will have to return it. I want to keep it, please help me!
Turn off the stabilizer
Can you print directly off of this?
Is it normal that the green light keeps blinking ?
Just want to know if anyone that bought it recently, how long did it take? I ordered mine Saturday says it would take 10 business days, but due to corona not sure if it would come any time this month
I was searching for this info to... I wanna buy it... But im scared if it took some or longer... 😭
wolffwoo 27 still hasn’t arrived 😔
@@heehoo480 seriously?? It is already 2 months.... Where did u place ur order?? And... I wanna know if u purchase it with that type c usb cable or not...
wolffwoo 27 i placed it on their website and i did purchase it with the cable and a stand, still didn’t arrive :/
wolffwoo 27 i will keep you updated
I connect the tablet to my macbook air, and it says "no signal", it is frustrating since there is no way I can see both screens :(
did you put the hdmi and the black cable in?
My huion kamvas 13 heating at top right corner immediately on use, is it normal?
It is normal.
@@TechSummitTV I see, thanks for the confirmation
The area you draw on looks much smaller than the screen. I’m looking for something I can use for online tutoring. Is it possible to increase the canvas part? Thanks
That’s program dependant
Can you plug to a smartphone instead of computer?
Only certain android phones
can 2020 Huion Kamvas 13 do the same to make animation?what are the deffirence between this 2020 Huion kamvas13 and Huion Kamvas13?
So how was the 3 in 1 cable now.. is that still working.. 😅
Mine is 😁
Have you tried the Huion KAMVAS Pro 13? I was comparing this with the Huion KAMVAS 13 (2020) edition and I haven't found any videos or comparisons between them. Their prices are pretty close on amazon but I don't know what I should get. I do like the 3 in 1 usb-c cable in the NON pro version but I think I saw somewhere that the Pro 13 has a new updated 3 in 1 usb-c cable too? (I don't know for sure). I also think the Pro 13 has an anti-glare glass finish vs. the NON pro 13's matte finish. I'm a beginner and I want something to draw on for fun and for school work.
Biggest difference is that the pro has a glass screen. Everything else to my knowledge is the same.
Thanks for your review. If I may, what software do you use for your animations?
I heard the pen that comes with it tends to scratch the screen?
It does once it starts to wear down.
How do I start animation on huion 13 is there a special application or does it come on huion?
No, you have to download/purchase the programs yourself 😁
whats better this or xp pen?
I wanted a pro 16 but huion raised the price to $420 on Amazon, is the upgrade still worth it considering the 13 (2020) is still it's base price?
I use it with my Samsung Phone and it's still amazing♡
wait so does it come with a stand or not? like on the website it says the stand is optional and not in the box but you said it came with the stand. I also can't seem to find the stand on their website separately… I've been thinking on buying it because I want to switch from a non display tablet to a display tablet but my funds are limited, so I thought this might be a good one to start with.
It is an optional accessory. On the website, when you're on the page with KAMVAS 13, there should be an option there that adds the stand. They sell them together.
Hope that helps!
Tech Summit ah, yeah on my local website from Huion it doesn’t have that option😕 I’ll send them an email and see if I can add it somehow because I think it would be better with the stand
@@anoukgeelen6259 store.huion.com/products/kamvas-13 I'm looking at it says with stand without stand I ordered with the stand and setting it up now
Does the tablet come with the programs already or did u have to pay?
You have to purchase the programs. Sketchbook Pro is free, though, and it's amazing.
Wait so I'm a bit confused, wasn't the Kamvas 13 a thing before and the Kamvas pro 13 was the better one? So why is there a new one also called the Kamvas 13, and is it better than the Kamvas pro 13? Thanks
The kamvas 13 is glossy with a matte screen protector without a touch bar, the kamvas 13 pro is matte with a touchbar
What art apps do you use to draw and animate?
the best review!!
Can you decide what drawing app you can use or does it come preinstalled
@Jacklyn Brown I should have deleted that comment. I bought one awile ago. I feel stupid
@Jacklyn Brown Yes sir. I love it. I posted some of my drawings on Instagram. It's one of those things you buy and you know it's the best investment you've made. I've been using it every day. It does take a bit of learning. I used Autodesk Sketchbook
@Jacklyn Brown You can enable anti-aliacing. Or make you canvass bigger
@Jacklyn Brown it's good. It provides more grip. Like drawing with a pencil. And kinda prevents glare
I got the Kamvas 13 and allthough I like the pen and matte resistance, I do not really like the display. The strokes look pixelated and dull on the display.
Use a bigger canvas?
did your tablet comes with a Stand? cause i bought one and it didn't come with it :/
Huion sent it to him, so they included the stand.
I used all my discounts to buy this on Amazon prime day for $160 I hope she likes it.
Can the 2020 Huion Kamvas function with a USB-C to HDMI cable? Or does the connection need to be USB-C to USB-C?
It's either the usb-c to usb-c or the 3 in 1 cable.
Isn’t it kinda annoying to use a laptop for drawing digitally? Bc ur laptop has to go on a chargers at some point, or do u just draw on the laptop while charging?
It definitely is for me. But if I have to work outside of my home, then sometimes it just has to be done. But yes, I always leave it plugged in.
Tech Summit I thought keeping it plugged in would damage people’s laptop. Thanks for ur reply
@@saxenart keeping it plugged will damage the battery. This is the same for all devices.
Good tablet, I just wish they included the USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, instead of a separate purchase.
Hey I got one question. Anyone know what Mac books are good for the huion kanvas 13. I’m looking forward to getting the tablet to do animations and I’m wondering what Mac books can I use for this?
All of them, just make sure you have a hdmi-port and 2 usb ports.
wait so you only plug it in the computer?
Anybody please help me... My tablet is just safely arrived today... But i have a problem... My tablets shows no signal... And my laptop seems like didn't even recognize the tablet when the cables connected to it... What should i do... I cant use it now... Im so sad
I would strongly urge you to contact Huion's customer support. They have very good support and should be able to help you here. Good luck!
@@TechSummitTV thankss... I will try it then
Hey Man! Great video :) I am considering this tablet for editing videos on davinci resolve! Do you or would you edit videos on a tablet like this? Would love to see how it fits into your workflow if you do!
Thank you! I personally wouldn't use a drawing display, especially a. 13" one for video editing. I also use Resolve to edit, but I edit on a 27" monitor.
@@TechSummitTV thanks for your input :)
If you have brush smoothing activated in Photoshop the tablet works good? The lines are ok?
@Knightchell Thx
Can this plug into a phone...?
yes
If you have a usb-c to usb-c cable yed
Well, I just got this. It had a dead pixel right out of the box. Trying to get it sorted with Huion's customer service took me nearly a week and they wanted all sorts of videos and confirmations until the result was that they offered a $40 refund. I guess I should be happy about that, but I can't help but feel crap about the whole thing. The dead pixel is situated annoyingly right where I'm working, right under my nose, visible at all times. It's just one (or a small cluster) annoying soft dot, but the location just sucks. I wish it had been somewhere closer to the edges and it would've been easier to live with. Trying to refresh it with software did nothing, so I guess I'm stuck with it. Anyway. Just a word of warning that this stuff happens and the whole process of dealing with their customer service and receiving compensation (if you receive any) may not leave you particularly satisfied.
PS. What makes this feel worse is that I ordered during the preordering period and waited patiently to get it. I know they had a rough time getting those orders filled etc in the current situation. I just wish they'd had higher standards when checking for dead pixels so after all this time I didn't end up with a frustrating disappointment. I'd rather they'd taken more time to get me a fully functioning product instead of rushing it and sending what had a defect (albeit a small one).
There's like an audio buxz, right?
There is. It comes from the lights I use to film. I will be replacing them soon.
how is this different from Kamvas pro 13? im confused
there's no touch bar and it works on Android phones. it's cheaper because it's made out of plastic on the back.
@@nenidetic how about kamvas pro??
@@wolffwoo27 they literally just explained
I always wondered who made the stuff on newgrounds
How is your experiance with tablet after a few months of using? I'm considering buying it. Would you say it's durable? Thank you for in depth review :)
KAMVAS 13 vs iPad Pro?
That sounds like fun. Maybe 🤔
Tech Summit yess please!!
Obviously the iPad is better and has more functions but Kamvas wins because of its price hehehe
Have you connected it to android or ipad?
Yes. On Android, you can actually use it as a regular drawing tablet if you download Huion's app. But on the iPad, it just duplicates the screen. That's it.
13 looks like it would've been big enough... but I got the 16" because the price was ridiculous.
Awesome animation!
What is that buzzing sound when you talk bro? Please fix it.
Does anyone else think this guy looks like a Dr. Seuss character lol
This is the first video i saw on your channel.
Thank you for sticking around!!
@@TechSummitTV No thank YOU for making amazing content.
i bought itll be here in a few weeks
Please note this product was sent to the artist, and no matter if "it's my honest review" as any person who receives a gift, it won't be honest towards the gift, so he will try to be as respectful and soft as possible to mantaning good relations with the brand.
Take any review with a grain of salt unless the artist itself has bought the tablet.
For anyone in the US purchasing this tablet, DO NOT USE HUION'S WEBSITE, theres like $100 shipping. Just buy the tablet and cable separately on Amazon or Ebay
I sending it back its too small
I bought this for my 11 year old she is into digital art this would be her first time using something like this. She does works with Microsoft paint 3d on her tablet do you think she can handle this?
Sorry! Are you asking if she can handle using that software or if the drawing screen can?
Yes I was wondering if she will be able to use it, as in figuring it out easily or should I find her a class? I ordered it for her birthday.
Just a bit of constructive criticism: you can't have such a varying degree of soft speaking AND consistent/obnoxious music playing if you want people to be able to catch everything you're saying
Hi! on the website says it is possible to use with android phone.
can you tell if it's true?
Yes! That is true. There's an app that you would download for your Android phone instead of downloading drivers directly.
@@TechSummitTV cool
can you make a video showing this?
Thanks bro
I have that exact same knife that I carry every day. Lol
Didn't you play in a movie
Haha, I wish.
Hii
How do you afford to make these videos?
hes so fucking cute
Your hair makes me nervous.
31st veiwer
Haha, thanks for stopping by!
Can you get us a discount code for this tablet? I am trying to get one, but I still need a lot of money to save 😕
