3-Axis Action Camera Gimbal Stabilizer for GoPro Hero 8/7/6/5, WiFi Connection, Handheld Gimbal Selfie Stick for SJCAM YI-CAM, 18cm Extendable Pole…

 I’m not a professional photographer by any means so taking steady videos without losing focus and staying on point was a challenge. I’ve seen slot of people use gimbals to help so that’s what I did as well.

The coolest feature about this gimbal is that it automatically changed its orientation to keep the video right side up and in a viewable orientation. You’ll see in my video that at one point it looks like I moved the camera quickly but in truth it was the gimbal keeping the video camera on point.

The telescoping feature is useful as it allows me to get down low and up close without having to bend down for shoots like up close shots of shoes.

It also comes with a stand that is also very useful if you use the app to control the camera via the bluetooth connection to the gimbal. I was able to take multiple shots of myself without having to go over to the camera and change the orientation manually and was able to do it with my iPhone.

The panning and tilting is very smooth and wasn’t glitchy. The handle is comfortable in my hand and the buttons feel well made-clearly it was well engineered.

Powering it on Is also ingenious as it won’t accidentally get turned on. I had to hold the power button until it flashes blue. The gimbal feature also doesn’t automatically turn on with the powering up of the device. You have to click the middle black button. Turning off the gimbal feature is simple all you have to do is click the same button 5 times.

I am able to lock the Pan or tilt or both if I so choose. Make sure to unlock both to use the gimbal. I thought my device was spazzing out but it turned out to be that I forgot to unlock the tilt and pan feature.

I really appreciate that their are decorated buttons to control each axis and it isn’t adjusted from a screen like most modern HVAC in cars. It allows quicker and smoother changes.

The battery life was about 7-8 hours but that was with me using the motors intermittently and not constantly. If you plan on a lot of action and altering of the camera I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a little less than 7-8 hours.

 If you have a GoPro 8 and want to get shots that are comparable to 360 this will do the job, if course you want have the option to control the angle in post, but this gimbal will give you the extension and stabilization needed to do smooth longboarding shots or bike shots or any active shots that you need while holding the gimbal.

The gimbal is fairly small and it has a soft case which is great to throw in the backpack, in fact I prefer over the hard case that other gimbals come with.

The gimbal its self has all the features you would expect with the larger gimbals, such as POV, F, GO, L and the other modes, it does extend to give low angles or high angles when needed, which comes handy when shooting on a boat.

The battery life is enough to run with your gopro over 6 batteries, I use 6 batteries with my go pro and I charge it after draining all my batteries.

The app lets you connect the gopro to the gimbal so you can use the record button, the side slider will help you role the camera which I barely use. If you have a gopro 8 like me make sure to follow the instruction to make it easy.

Overall, this is a gimbal that is good to have if you plan to shoot with your gopro handheld instead of mounting it on an object, it gives you stable shoots and ability to extend,

This has been a great addition to my hero 7 black recording equipment setup.
I received a long rectangle zippered pouch that is a grey durable 400D polyester with the blue and white Feiju logo across the upper section. This is slightly padded and allows me to quickly place the gimbal with my Hero 7 Black attached quickly from the pouch.
The quick start guides are very easy to follow and always tell you to UNLOCK the two gimbal axis before pressing the power button.
I used my smartphone and scan the QR code in camera app to watch the video tutorial for connecting my Hero 7 to the gimbal. the video walks through the menu screens on my go pro, then launching the Feiju Go app to connect to the gimbal and then completing the installation. Now I just turn on the go pro and vimble 2A the two devices are ready for controlling from the handle. The most used function of my handle is the pop out four feet that prop and hold the vimble 2a upright so I can stand and record myself with subjects or scenery.
I appreciate the length of the extending post between the handle and go pro so I can get more of me or my subject and not have the camera recording so close to my face. The joystick controls are very intuitive and pan left to right or up and down. Moving the tilt adjustment away from the joystick is what I always wanted in my previous phone gimble from another manufacturer.
The video and manuals from Feiju are not ambiguous and have been written for novices and experts to be up and recording quickly!

I have a GoPro hero 7 and I have to say that the stabilization in it is pretty great, but when you are holding the camera far out, or low or high, that’s when you can have some problems. So I had previously bought the Vimble 2S which I use for my smartphone and really like it. So I figured that id give the Vimble 2a a try. Nice thing is that with the GoPro you can connect the gimble to the GoPro and start and stop recording directly from the gimble which is a really nice feature. The second and most important is that it works. I was very pleased with the results, especially when trying to get some low shots or trying to mimic a crane movement! Very cool!. Also, I tried it on one of my Akaso cameras and even though you can’t control the Akaso camera from the gimbal it does fit and thus can help stabilize that camera as well. Which is really good since the Akaso has OK stabilization, and help though is appreciated. So am I happy with the purchase? For sure. It does what I wanted it to do, it comes in a nice little carry case, seems well built and helps stabilize my footage. Pretty sure I can’t ask for much more. It did though take me a minute to figure out how to mount the camera, but that was all me as I really don’t like reading instructions. haha.
