My very first gimbal was the feiyutech ak2000c with a woodgrain handle. I'm looking to get the ak4500 next

I really like the design of the AK4500. Its load-bearing design is really great.

Thanks Graeme, that was good a review, as you well know I have the AK4000, thinking on upgrading and this review has helped me to make my mind up.

That's a lot of using solution in AK4500 I think total 4 different way,the first is the handle bar(screen+joystick),second is the multifunction knob.thirdly is APP and fourth is hte remote controller!great working solution!

This handle controller of FeiyuTech ak4500 looks great, it is really a interested design

Such a great in depth review!

awesome design, I know this FeiyuTech AK4500 can compatible with most of the DSLR cameras. Really nice gimbal I've ever seen!

Looks nice. I would like to know the advantage and feature of FEIYU TECH AK4500.

Looks AK4500 improve a lot. I love the hyperlink remote design.

The hyperlink is a great design, another handle which can control the gimbal. I'd like to know the control distance of this hyperlink?

Hi Thanks heaps for an awesome review, whats the Tripod your using on this video?

@GraemeSimpsonPhotography

This is an old Amazon Basics Tripod. They don't do it anymore. I got it as I wanted something sturdy for doing long exposures. It's great for that but it's also stupidly heavy and really cumbersome to use

nice prodcut and thank you for your introduction! How much is it and where can I get it?

Hello there I want to buy this gambals but before I do I would like to know do you have any list of cameras with fit with this Gambals I appreciate it thank you

Graeme, nice to here an 'English' voice here on KZread. Can I use with my Pan Lum SZ330? (bridge camera) I know what you mean about the focus on Panasonic my is all in and all out difficult to get a nice slow in/out. I'm considering buying a dedicated camera (low cost) video camera for the 4500 ? What do you suggest? On camera mic; Can I put a Rode 'type' mic on the separate handle or is there some better option? Great review.

@GraemeSimpsonPhotography

low cost still depends on how much that low cost is :) the 4500 is designed to carry bigger cameras/weight so to have a light camera body on there is a bit of a waste. You could get something like the G90 and buy some good lenses or the G9 is an awesome camera that you can pick up second hand really well. As I said, it all depends on the budget

Still watching, but can I ask what setting you are using in your camera recording. Looks wide open but how are you always in focus? Are you in manual or have super continuous focus on your camera?

@GraemeSimpsonPhotography

Think it would have been around f/4 and manual focus which gives me a little more wiggle room in depth of field to stay in focus easier. I also have peaking on so I can see on the monitor if I need to move.

@GraemeSimpsonPhotography

I'm afraid there's no physical way to attach the new handle. The wireless controller does work with the 2000 though which was a surprise.

Can the ak4500 be configured to have its sensitivity increased at the press and hold of a button? For example if we press and hold the front trigger button the gimbal goes into sports mode, just like the go mode button on the zhuyin crane 3.

@GraemeSimpsonPhotography

You can use the trigger button for three different options. When holding the button you can either have Fast Follow, Lock mode or Pan & tilt follow. You just configure which you want it to be in the Feiyu App

@@saffronfalcon I've used both and they're very good gimbals. Each has it's strengths so it's very hard to choose the perfect gimbal. the Crane can carry 2.6kg while the AK4500 can carry 4.6kg so if you use heavier setups this may help

@@GraemeSimpsonPhotography thanks again for the reply. I like the package of feiyutech ak4500. the implementation of the rear handle is a lot better plus the battery life is an added advantage. I liked the wireless follow focus control of moza's ifocus which the feiyutech have implemented using their remote handle. I just hope the gimble is smooth and free from the bugs of ak4000. Will be buying this in August.

Which one is better zhiyun crane 3 lab or this one?

I'm struggling to get my follow focus to work. I've tried calibrating it but there is no tutorials online for the AKFII with the ak4500. Also my camera control on the gh5 doesn't work at all. No photo or video control from the handle or remote. Any thoughts?
