Review on FeiyuTech G6 Plus Electric Stabilizer by Abhey Dancer ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

I use it in tandem with Sony A6300 with a whale. Weight about 500g. There is no need to think about any more serious lens, since this is already close to the limit of the stub. A7M3 one carcass weighs 600g, so when upgrading to FF, you will also have to change the stub.

Pros
  • In general, the device copes with its task, but there are nuances in the process of use.
Cons
  • Alas, it is impossible to calibrate once and for all and leave it like that. When returning to the native case, the stub has to be untwisted again in order to fit. And then, taking it out, twist all the nodes back to put the camera. It is not always possible to quickly return everything to the desired position, and there is no time to meticulously calibrate. As a result, the camera does not stand quite straight, you have to correct the horizon manually. Although this is not the biggest problem. With a long operation, the stub heats up and the motors begin to lose their grip (especially if the calibration was done hastily and not very clearly). This is expressed in the trembling of the platform, rhythmic swaying to the left and right during the spans, and even in a smooth departure in one direction. A lot of footage turns out to be screwed up and not all of this can be straightened out on post. This also happens when the battery runs out. Apparently, the output voltage becomes insufficient, and the stub starts acting weird. Resolved by replacing the battery. By the way, also a minus: the kit comes with only one battery and no memory for it. Additional batteries had to be ordered from Ali. Other stubs come with 2-3 batteries included.
