Feiyu SCORP C2 Camera Gimbal Stabilizer with Built-in AI Tracking

Very good quality Scorp-C2 Gimbal from Feiyutech made from very good materials.I have been using this gimbal for just over two weeks so a short time mostly with a Sony ZV-E1 with a maximum payload of 3.5kg it has easily handled the mirrorless camera and the different lens I have. Of course the better you balance the gimbal the easier it will be on the motors and give you longer battery life.The AI tracking is excellent and this seems to be improving each year if you are shooting on your own just place the gimbal on a tripod and enabled the AI tracking and it is one less thing to worry about. You can use gesture control to start recording/ take an image and framing, there is also the mobile app which you can use to control the gimbal this is another nice touch means you don’t have to keep going back and forth to the gimbal.The buttons, wheel trigger etc are very responsive and has a good feel to it, the gimbal to me personally feels reasonably lightweight but I have used heavier gimbals in the past so this might be why.The gimbal works and works extremely well I don’t really have any bad points about it, if I had to be very picky I would say it would have been nice if it came with a case to store the gimbal in when travelling or even when it is not in use but I’m sure you can get one.Overall I am happy with the gimbal, I feel it is good price for what you are getting and I would recommend it.

Excellent little gimbal, works really well. Doesn't have the removable controller of the more premium gimbals, but still works great attached. Here your camera can easily attach, and it is so simple to set up. You can be shooting in under 10 minutes from getting this at your door.using it to track moving subject, for example a skateboard, this works superbly. Holding it off a bike, tracking a skateboard worked really well. Running with it also results in super stable footage. Try as you might, you seem to always end up with rock solid stabilised footage using this.Build quality oil excellent, really feels premium. Attachments and accessories are plenty, and a 1/4 inch extension port too. Is small enough to be portable, but is not super small. For its size though, it does a great job. Motors are all powerful and it isn't easy to knock it off its balancing forcefully.Overall, very happy and very impressed with it. Will be using it a lot more going forward, and expect it to be part of my kit for a long time.

Easy to assemble, strong and sturdy. The Feiyutech SCORP-C2 is lightweight and easy to handle and is perfect for creating video content on the go. Easy to use following well detailed instructions. perfect size and more important top quality looks and feels great , for the price can’t fault it, 10 out of 10 from me very happy indeed and would purchase again

at 3.5kg the load capacity of this gimbal is class leading nearly and can take some big setups, if you can balance it, it will take it, even my 400mm 4.5 works on this, stabilisation is also very good and weight not too much so it is still very portable, this version is designed more to work with the app and is easy to use and everything is pretty much intuitive to use, overall good value and a great bit of kit.

This SCORP-C2 camera gimbal is an absolutely fantastic tool that truly revolutionises video work. The new AI tracking system is so clever and incredibly fast; it locks onto a subject instantly, delivering precise, dynamic shots even when you are working solo. This feature makes shooting vlogs and detailed movements much simpler.I am particularly impressed by the sheer ease of use. The quick-release plate with its precision scales allows for millimetre-accurate balancing, which saves a wonderful amount of time on location. Swapping between native portrait and landscape orientation happens in seconds, which is perfect for creating content across different social media platforms without fiddling with mounts. The 3.5kg payload is also excellent, handling my mirrorless camera and heavier lenses with stability. The battery life is phenomenal, lasting up to fourteen hours, and the rear integrated handle makes low-angle shots far more comfortable. The OLED screen for checking the gimbal status is another well-thought-out detail. This is a very impressive and robust piece of kit that brings high-quality, stable results to every project at a very affordable prive point.

Weighing just over 1.4kg with the tripod stand, this Feiyutech SCORP-C2 camera gimbal will hold up to an additional 3.5kg, whether that is your camera, a phone or action camera, using a standard Arca Swiss foot plate. I tried it out with a mobile phone, an action camera, an action camera in a cage, a video camera on a 15mm tube system and several cameras and found that as long as the centre of gravity isn't too high, it can cope.It has three, motorised joints, angled so that it will produce a smooth movement as you move around and this does a fairly good job although I did test it with a camera with a 250mm equivalent lens with the camera's image stabilisation turned off and it does take a fraction of a second for the gimbal to start moving - with the camera's image stabilisation on, it is easily good enough and in effect, combining the camera's stabilisation with the gimbal, you eliminate all shake and drift.On the bottom of the gimbal is a quarter BSW socket where you can mount the small tripod that is supplied with the gimbal; or a pole or the Feiyutech carbon fibre extension which isn't supplied with this but does make it handle better for shooting over crowds although the higher it gets, the less control you have over it because you can't reach it. With the legs of the tripod folded together, you have an extra 12cm of handle and with or without the extension, the tripod is big enough to put it on a level floor and it not fall over.Also on this gimbal is an AI feature on the camera mount section and if you do the diver's 'OK' gesture to it, it will follow you around so you can do single person vlogging. With the power on, the light under the lens that has the cyan-coloured metal ring around it (that you can see in the photographs) shines red. When you give it the diver's OK signal, it turns green to let you know that it is activated. When I tried this, it worked most of the time but some times not. With a bit of experimentation, I found that it worked best if I used my left hand although it would work with my right - if I had activated it with my left, it seemed to recognise the next signal better if that was also with my left. I would suggest having a play around with it to find out what works best for you.You set up the balance of the gimbal in four steps: with the camera attached and the lens extended in its working position and horizontal and with the three axes motors locked off - there is a small 'V' support that you can screw into the end of the plate as you can see in some of the photographs - unlock the top one and adjust the forward position of the top until it balances, locking it in place; then, tilt the camera up so that it is vertical and adjust the position of the elbow section with the camera attached, in the grip on the top joint so that it stays vertical (its centre should go through the centre of gravity of the camera and system); then, unlock and adjust the next joint in the same way; then finally, unlock the vertical joint at the bottom and tilt the gimbal on its side, sliding the leg and with it correctly balanced, it should not twist and swing when moved around. Then, lock that off as well. Then, turn it on. There is an alternative method on the app.There are a number of controls including a wheel and a proportional joystick, allowing you to control the gimbal such as the trigger which locks onto a particular orientation and it will stay there as you move the gimbal around - note that this locks the orientation so if the subject is fairly close, any translation in position will show as the subject going off centre or out of shot.The gimbal also has AB waypoints so, with the gimbal secured, possibly on a tripod, you can use the joystick or the wheel to move the gimbal so that it is pointing in the direction of where you want one of the waypoints then press and hold in that button until the display tells you that it is set. Then, do that with the other. With both waypoints set, you can short-press the buttons and the gimbal with go to that waypoint from wherever it was.The smartphone app lets you do what you can do without it but allows access to some extra features. For example, you can set how long it takes to travel to a waypoint; and also, to perform a number of tasks that are not easily accessible from the manual controls on the gimbal itself. One of these is motor power and it will run through a frequency range, measuring displacement so that it knows how much power to apply in a given situation - without setting up the power for a given configuration like this, you can get parasitic oscillations on some systems such as one without much angular momentum such as an action camera.Additionally, the app lets you control the PTZ using an on-screen proportional joystick but interestingly, there is an option to use the inertial system of your phone to control the gimbal orientation, in other words, you rotate your phone and the gimbal follows those changes, allowing you change direction very quickly and accurately because this directional functionality is absolute - you point your phone and the gimbal does the same.Carrying it around could be problematic but it will just about fit in a small camera back pack as you can see in the photograph. However, the cut-out foam that it comes in is the best support for it as moulding it is already done for you. You just need to get a bag that is the right size - at least 29cm wide by 30cm long by 7cm deep for the foam plus anything else you want to put in there.The build quality of the gimbal is very high with metal used where it is needed (it has a quarter BSW socket on the left side with Arri locating holes which is useful for putting a magic arm and a mobile phone holder in as you can see in the photographs) and it has a good battery life - it can be used while it is charging up if you need to. It moves freely and accurately and is strong enough to take cameras that are not particularly well balanced.

J’ai utilisé le stabilisateur SCORP-C2 pendant 3 semaines pour filmer des vidéos avec mon smartphone et mon appareil photo. Voici ce que j’ai vécu : le suivi AI est plutot bon, même en mouvement, et les 3 axes de stabilisation éliminent totalement les tremblements.Il est compatible avec les tous les appareils du marché y compris les smartphones, ce qui le rend très polyvalent. En revanche il ne sera pas compatible avec toutes les configurations, si votre ensemble objectif appareil est trop lourd ca va avoir tendance a forcer, évitez donc de dépasser la charge recommandée maximale de 3.5 Kg.La légèreté et la compacité du stabilisateur en fait un outil facile à transporter et à manier. D'ailleurs l'ergonomie de la poignée est un point fort à souligner, on peut porter la stabilisateur de deux manières ; par son axe central mais aussi par sa poignée écran pour filmer à l'horizontal ce qui est bien plus intuitif je trouve.La batterie tient environ 8 heures, et la recharge est rapide. En revanche, la configuration initiale peut être un peu complexe pour les débutants, et le prix est élevé pour un usage occasionnel, prévoyez de l'utiliser fréquemment pour le rentabiliser.Ce produit est fait pour les créateurs de contenu ou les photographes amateurs qui veulent des vidéos professionnelles sans investir dans du matériel lourd.Je recommande cette marque sans hésiter car elle arrive a faire du matériel fiable et abordable.

Je ne vais pas répéter ici toutes les capacités techniques, nécessités et possibilités de réglages. Vous trouvez ces informations en suivant les liens et pages du fabricant.Ce nouveau stabilisateur SCORP-C2, fais parti de ces appareils solides auxquels ont fait confiance. Il est compatible avec de nombreux boitiers photos, même s'ils sont lourds ou équipés d'objectifs imposants.Ce n'est pas mon premier stabilisateur lourd de FEIYUTECH que j'utilise. J'aime particulièrement sa rapidité de mise en œuvre, même si je dois encore utiliser la plaque à dégagement rapide fournie. J'aime aussi la liaison simplifiée Bluetooth couplé à l'IA. La stabilité est précise tout en restant progressive. En plus, sans liaison smartphone supplémentaire, je peux travailler seul avec des gestes de commande. Le passage de l'horizontal au format vertical est lui aussi largement simplifié, c'est un point important, surtout pour les réseaux sociaux.Dans la boite, avec le stabilisateur SCORP-C2, on trouve la plaque de dégagement rapide, le support vertical et le support horizontal de maintien avec réglages précis, un trépied de table Deux câbles USB-C et USB et une notice en plusieurs langues, dont le français.Même si les réglages sont annoncés comme simplifiés, un temps d'apprentissage est nécessaire, aussi bien pour les réglages que pour l'utilisation réelle du stabilisateur. Il faut prendre le temps d'être précis, minutieux et patient. L'IA aide à obtenir de meilleurs résultats, elle ne tient pas en main l'appareil.Avec mon objectif 24mm, 50mm ou mon 100mm, le support conserve toutes ses qualités. J'assemble entre 1,5 et 2kg de matériel photo sur ce stabilisateur et les moteurs réagissent très bien.Comprendre et exploiter toutes les possibilités de ce stabilisateur SCORP-C2, même avec l'aide de l'IA demande du temps. Tout comme le reste du matériel photo, il faut aussi l'entretenir, le nettoyer, ne pas oublier de le recharger et je conseille un léger graissage silicone des platines.Ce que j'aime le moins, c'est l'emballage. Une simple mousse dans un carton, c'est ce qui protège ce matériel de pointe. Je ne comprends pas l'absence d'une mallette zippée.

★★★★★Excellent stabilisateur, très polyvalent et agréable à utiliser.La charge jusqu’à 3,5 kg permet d’installer facilement un hybride ou un reflex avec différents accessoires.Le suivi IA est particulièrement pratique pour garder le sujet dans le cadre, tandis que la prise de vue verticale native est un plus pour les contenus destinés aux réseaux sociaux.La poignée arrière intégrée améliore également la prise en main.Une belle qualité de fabrication et beaucoup de possibilités pour réaliser des vidéos fluides et professionnelles.
