amazon FeiyuTech G6 Max reviews
FeiyuTech G6 Max is a versatile compact anti-shake gimbal that can be used for cameras, GoPro and phones, but still has extremely convenient 3-axis stabilization.
With many small cameras specialized for video recording, such as Sony ZV-1, Panasonic G100, Feiyu recently launched a versatile compact gimbal with good 3-axis anti-shake support, a better choice for semi-professional video users. These users can skip buying a camera gimbal and a phone gimbal separately, but instead, FeiyuTech G6 Max will meet the needs of both. Even all three if you also have an additional GoPro action camera.
The box of FeiyuTech G6 Max is quite simple, with only a few product images. Inside the box is another shockproof foam box to protect the gimbal, and inside is the product. It is quite unfortunate that this shockproof box does not have a good handle or locking mount. You will still need to have a handbag or hold this box more firmly, or things may fall out.
Inside the box is the FeiyuTech G6 Max gimbal with its full accessories. You will have a tripod for the gimbal, a plate to attach the camera to the gimbal, a phone clip, which will also be attached to the plate.
Because it supports a lot of camera devices, action cameras, and phones, in the black box are common connection wires such as DC2.5mm to USB-C, TRS2.5 to USB-C, USB- C to USB-C,…. You can choose these cables to connect and use or use a wireless connection. There is also a universal mount for GoPro, which is thoughtful of FeiyuTech. Unfortunately, there is still no Lightning cable for iPhone; now, you will need another external port.
Thanks to the sliding mechanism, our gimbal is very simple to install, slide in, and you’re done. But at the same time, unlocking the spindles is quite simple, with the design of levers and swivels to unlock the rails easily.
You will have a colorless OLED screen at the control button area that uses less power to display gimbal information such as the mode in use, battery life, Bluetooth connection, etc… This screen brightness is also pretty good. You can easily see in outdoor conditions.
Below the screens are two mode switches and a shutter button; the switch between the recording and charging port and the power button is right. The Magic Focus Ring 2.0 multi-function rotary button with very smooth and precise rotation joints is a special feature on the left edge. This dial can also be pressed to toggle functions such as zoom, tri-axis rotation, and useful parameters such as ISO, WB, and EV.
According to the manufacturer, inside the gimbal is a 2200mAh battery that is quite comfortable to use with 9 hours of operation and can be fully charged in just 3 hours. However, in the information that FeiyuTech provides, fast chargers should not be used; only 5V/2A should be used.
Finally, despite being a versatile compact gimbal, it can be said that the quality of finishing that FeiyuTech brings very good. However, users should note:
– The weight announced by the manufacturer is 1.2kg, including the camera lens, but in fact, the camera is not enough for this load to be usable. This gimbal is aimed at cameras with a more compact design that is more compact, and at the same time, the lens will have to meet the balance to be usable, according to the manufacturer; the device can fit the X-T30, X-T200, and even the A6300/A6400/A6500 with a 28-70mm lens or the A7s II with a 55mm F1.8 lens.
– I tried to mount the gimbal on the body of the Fujifilm X-T3, but the result is that it cannot be weighed due to its large size.
Remember to unlock all the shaft locks and adjust the swing bar before opening the gimbal, turning on the device, and using it.
To open and use the gimbal, follow these steps:
Attach the device to the Plate accessory; if it is a phone, clip the phone to the clamp attachment and attach it to the plate.
Conduct three-axis are unlocking with a convenient lever design; you only need to push in the direction printed on the gimbal forcefully.
Slide your device into the holder when sliding. You need to pay attention to hold the latch button, and the lock lever must be pushed back.
Remember to turn the plate’s locking.
Finally, you unscrew and adjust the distance of the rails and then try to move the gimbal to see if the gimbal is stuck or not. If stuck, adjust the rails; otherwise, proceed to lock the rails and then open the gimbal to use.
