Feiyutech AK2000C Review | A Great Budget Gimbal For Lightweight Setups

#feiyutechak2000c #gimbal #budgetgimbal
In today's video, we review the Feiyutech AK2000C gimbal. After using it on a couple of shoots, we've found it to be an impressively performing gimbal that worked great with our Sony A7 III and lighter lenses but keep in mind this is a budget gimbal designed for lighter and smaller cameras. If you are using a heavier and bulkier camera setup, you may need to look elsewhere, but for everyone else, the AK2000C is a fantastic option with a very wallet-friendly price tag.

    We used to have the AK2000 before but realised we don’t really use gimbal that much and not producing many cinematic videos. So we sold it and now consider to buy a smaller one for our small camera (ZV1) in case we want some cinematic shots 😆 Awesome and honest review as always, love the fact this AK2000C is slightly lighter than the previous version. A really good gimbal overall!

I'm still using the original Ronin-S, was the only thing that could hold the Canon 5D MarkIV at the time, moving more to using the lighter Canon R series cameras, but my RF lens (15-35) still makes it a beefy set up :-/ But looks like it suits the M50 really well!
