An Underrated PRO Gimbal | FeiyuTech AK4500 Review

Ойын-сауық

There have been a lot of talk about the Best Travel Gimbal or Best Compact Gimbal of 2020, but I haven't heard much about the "Best Professional Gimbal". By "Professional", I mean a gimbal that has a heavy payload capacity, feature-rich to cover most niches, and stabilizes consistently and repeatably so you can use it for your client work without stressing the gear. Today, I want to review and talk about the FeiyuTech AK4500 and explain why I think this $650 is an underrated CHAMP when it comes to big boy gimbals in 2020... all at a pretty good price point.

    I stuttered so hard trying to say Zhiyun at 0:36 - half my brain is so used to saying "Zi-yoon", but half my brain is trying to say "Zhi Yun" in Chinese 😂

    I own one ak4500 and let me tell you i havent used stablisation on my footages since a long long time. Coupled with the ibis this gimbal renders extremely stablised footage. As you have correctly said, this is an underrated gimbal. In my opinion this is the best gimbal. I was able to balance even my smartphone on it! Have you tried pulling focus wirelessly with the hyperlink remote? Try it, this gimbal does that in real time, no lag between rotation of wheel on hyperlink remote and the rotation of the autofocus servo.

    I need one of these for all the running I say I’m gonna do and don’t! And.. Can I get the first few seconds as a separate video? it’s for a school project.

    What would you recommend is the best way to travel with this Gimbal? I was thinking of getting a pack but not sure which would work well. Since this gimbal doesn't have cases besides the cheap one it comes in.

    I personally always stick it in the tripod holder slot of my backpack (on the side). Unless I'm pulling up for a more involved shoot like a wedding, then I'd bring multiple bags/cases.

    That was a great review, liked and subbed! I have one question as I cannot get a response from feiyutech, hope you don't mind. I was told "My only issue with the ak4500 is that the acceleration seems to be a bit high to where it's difficult to get slow/smooth gimbal moves." What is your take on this?

  • @DavidZhou

    @DavidZhou

    3 жыл бұрын

    I think the acceleration/dead band zone (even when on "smooth" mode) is higher, especially compared to other gimbals. However, I think it's one of those things you get used to after several times using it. But, it's definitely faster acceleration!

    Ooh that’s a tough one, I’d say the RS-2 is better than the AK4500, but the AK4500 is slightly better than the RSC-2... one thing I like about the DJI gimbals is that their software is better and they’re generally more polished
