    the instructions with the falcon plus are dismal, as you noted. but even after one day's shooting (without reading much of the manual in its teeny type) i found it to be a hell of a tool. your vid is heads above any other instructional material i found and it immediately helped expand my use of this gimbal with my gopro 12. one thing i will do immediately is get a set of allan key screwdrivers to work with this device and i recommend anyone using it to get some of the extended length gopro attachment screws. happy shooting.

    Thanks for the video. I took delivery of my Flacon Plus today (bought through Amazon) but wonder if it is faulty. I went through the balancing procedure as you describe. I fully charged the unit first then having balanced, switched on. It too several goes to get the green light for the bluetooth but once I had that I switched on the GoPro and started to go through the Connection process but before I could really get into this the Falcon switched itself off. I have now tried this several times and each time I get the same result, it just won't stay switched on. Any thoughts? Thanks

    Great video! I have a few questions about the Inkee Falcon Plus. As I am watching through KZread about some reviews regarding the Falcon Plus, they’ve mentioned that the gimbal can lift at least 200g of action camera. I am worrying about buying one because I am using a Gopro hero 9 + Ulanzi Case + Gopro Microphone Adapter, having a total weight of 210g. While the others are using Media Mod + other accessories. Can the Inkee Falcon plus lift a 210g go pro (including the said accessories) without having any complications?

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    Thank you! I would recommend sticking with 200g and below for the weight. Otherwise I expect this will cause premature failure of the motors on the gimbals or this could result in footage that is not adequately stabilized.

    Thanks for the great tutorial. I received my Inkee Falcon Pro yesterday and very happy with it. Much easier to set up than the other gimbals I have tried. My only complaint is that I have to use the Allen key screw to mount the GoPro when using the Media Mod rather than a GoPro style thumbscrew. If you are only going to use the GoPro on the Falcon Plus, it is no problem but I also use the GoPro with the Media Mod on my motorcycle helmet. Having to used the Allen key screw is very inconvenient for switching from one to the other.

    Thank you so much for making this! I was getting so frustrated trying to set it up but your video walked me through it & I was able to get my gopro10 w/ media mod balanced 🙌🏻. Quick question - I saw someone was able to balance it with the media mod display but nothing I try is balancing. The other person did say it’s over the weight limit but they were still able to get it to balance/work. Have you tried that & if so, any tricks/tips for getting it to balance?

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    2 жыл бұрын

    This is a great question and I have a tip to offer for this. So the GoPro Hero 10 weighs 153 grams and the Media Mod weighs 54 grams. Combined these weigh 207 grams which is technically just slightly over the 200 gram limit of the Inkee Falcon Plus. It’s close enough that this can still be balanced successfully but it can be challenging to do so. The Hero 10 battery weighs 33 grams. If you remove this from the Hero 10 and power the Hero 10 via the USB-C cable that connects to the Inkee Falcon built-in battery you then get the Hero 10 down to a weight of 174 grams. At 174 grams it is much easier to balance. I do recommend having the USB pass through door if doing this though so the GoPro battery door isn’t open. Hope this helps!

    There is a way using the Inkee app to adjust some of these parameters manually. That may be worth a try. Also, if you film footage using this gimbal and still notice it has a bit of jitter or lack of smoothness you can use a free tool like Gyroflow to fix and get it really smooth.

    Can you charge the GoPro while using the gimbal? If it can, then this seems to be a better bundle than GoPro own Creator Edition where the Volta is included. The gimbal will have less battery capacity but for the added gimbal movement, this is more attractive than pure long battery hours.

    Unfortunately you cannot charge the GoPro while using this gimbal from this gimbal. There is a way you could charge the GoPro using an external battery pack attached to the gimbal handle but that can get a bit cumbersome. If the GoPro could be charged from the gimbal then yes, this would be a great alternative to Volta due to the stabilization properties.

Between the confusing Quick Start card and the fold-out microscopic full instructions, I was lost. After a half hour of frustration, I just searched KZread for "inkee falcon plus" and yours was the first one that came up. I had watched several of your videos when I first got my Hero 11, so I was confident that you would make it simple for the setup, and you did. Got it working fine now, thanks to this video!!!

    So I got this gimbal and am using my gopro hero 10 on it. I've noticed that when I started using it with the stabilization turned off so I can also use ND filters, my footage is crazy shaky. Even though everything looks good externally with the gimbal... I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing. These are very jerky shakes that I'm not making which makes no sense to me... it completely ruined a weekend worth of footage 🥺 I'm very confused lol

  • @GreatDayForAHike

    @GreatDayForAHike

    2 жыл бұрын

    Does it seem like the motor is creating the shakiness? If so then you will likely want to use the Inkee Falcon app and run the calibration process. I had to do that on mine once when I had this issue. Also, if you’ve got the media mod attached as well, try removing the battery and connecting directly with the USB-C cable to the port on the gimbal to power it. This reduces the weight of the GoPro and Media mod combo to about 180 grams with the battery removed which may be significant enough to help the motors perform much better (I gave this tip to someone yesterday and it seemed to help). Also, your footage can still be salvageable if you use stabilization tools found in Adobe Premiere Pro (warp stabilizer) or in a free software tool such as VideoProc Vlogger. Hope these tips are helpful!

You can connect them and all is fully functional - however after I turn the Hero 11 and Gimbal off and then turn the gimbal back on, the Hero 11 needs to paired again - will not remember connection and will not turn on by the gimbal . Happens every single time. You have to endlessly pair the gimbal to the Hero 11 - however half the time the gimbal can't / won't connect to the camera, can take many, many goes. Really annoying. Haven't tried just the Hero 11 on its on (without the media mod attached).

    Getting this gimbal balanced is one of the biggest flaws with it in my opinion. If you’re not using the Media Mod I recommend the Hohem iSteady Pro 4. If you are using it and need this one then try getting it as close as you can to balanced and then test it out. If you feel/see vibration of the motors while using it means the balancing needs further fine tuning. If no vibrations then you should be good. I’m going to release a quick tip on something I figured out/rigged up on this gimbal: a way to power it with the battery removed using an external battery pack. Without the battery weight it’s easier to balance and use this.
