Feiyutech launches two new gimbals – the Feiyu Scorp and the modular Feiyu Scorp Pro

by Leave a Comment

Feiyutech has announced two new motorised 3-axis gimbals. These are the Scorp and the Scorp Pro. Unlike many other gimbals, though, the “Pro” model isn’t just the regular gimbal with a bunch of extras added. In this case, it’s actually a completely different gimbal. Like the regular Scorp, but modular, adding a lot of versatility and shooting options over the basic model Scorp.

The Scorp is a motorised 3-axis gimbal with a design that reminds me of the Zhiyun Weebill 2 if the handle were permanently attached – but without the cool flippy out LCD. The Scorp Pro, on the other hand, appears to be like a scaled-down version of the Crane 3S, with removable handles for both the base and rear underslung mode.

The Feiyu Pocket 2S is the world’s first detachable wearable pocket sized gimbal

Feiyutech has announced the newest pocket gimbal, the Feiyu Pocket 2S. In normal operation, it acts similarly to practically every other pocket gimbal on the market, but this one has a detachable gimbal, allowing you to mount the head pretty much anywhere you like while allowing remote operation with the handle.

Separating the two doesn’t completely disconnect them from each other – there’s still a cable between them, but it allows you to attach the gimbal to clothing, helmets, or anything you like, really, without the handle getting in the way. It’s being launched via Indiegogo with some big Super Early Bird discounts.

Feiyu goes head-to-head against DJI with their new Pocket Handheld Gimbal camera

Feiyutech has announced a new camera that looks somewhat familiar. It’s the new Feiyu Pocket Handheld Gimbal – a tiny 4K 60fps 3-axis stabilised camera that can be held easily in your hand. Yeah, it does resemble the DJI Osmo Pocket a little bit huh? Except, this one’s about 2/3rds the price of the DJI, priced at only $249

First look at the Feiyu Ricca action camera, AK4500 gimbal and Qing remote pan & tilt head

One of the products I was keen to see at NAB 2019 was the new Ricca action camera from Feiyutech. A popular name when it comes to gimbals, action cameras are a new market for Feiyutech, so I was interested to see just what it was like. We had a chat with Feiyutech about the new Ricca action camera, and also discovered a couple of other new products, too. The AK4500 3-axis motorised gimbal for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, a dual handle frame, and the Feiyu Qing, a remote control pan & tilt head.

Feiyu’s G5 is the first handheld motorised gimbal to feature weather proofing

Handheld motorised gimbals are fantastic pieces of kit. Whether it’s for an action camera, phone, DSLR or even a RED camera, they do their job extremely well. One thing that’s been an issue for a lot of people so far, though, is that they’re not really “all weather”. Even though your phone or camera might be in some kind of waterproof housing, trying to operate a gimbal in the rain isn’t exactly the best idea.

This has been a bit of an issue for me, personally, too. Living in the almost perpetually wet UK, I am at the mercy of the weather when I want to use mine outdoors. Feiyu are starting to solve this problem with the release of the new Feiyu G5 3-axis handheld gimbal for action cameras. Designed specifically for the GoPro Hero5, which also features built in weather proofing, it will also work with other action cameras, too.
