Nowadays, most of the cameras have similar functions such as anti-shake, but you will undoubtedly know that if you want to shoot stable and efficient videos, in addition to taking careful photos of daily catwalks, you still need to use external hardware devices such as stabilizers. Through software combination and the unique soul of the photographer, you will have no pressure to shoot stable videos.
For most users, we do not need too professional stabilizer products. After all, most of our video shooting devices are mobile phones, but I want to choose a cost-effective product just like choosing a mobile phone or laptop, such as a stabilizer with appropriate prices, many functions and strong compatibility. Then maybe this stabilizer of Feiyu Scorpion Mini is your choice; it's National Day soon, I recently bought a Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer and give it a try.
Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer is a lightweight stability product that can be used in mobile phones, cameras, micro-single and sports cameras. Users who are familiar with Feiyu know that the previous Feiyu G6 MAX was also a stabilizer supported by multiple devices. This time, the Feiyu Scorpion Mini is an upgraded version of this product. It remains portable while also upgrading some functions.
One of the major features of Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer is that it comes with an integrated hanging lifting pot design, which is also rare among products of thousands of yuan level products. Who knows this function? Compared with vertical grip, horizontal grip is quite labor-saving and easy to match. With only 787 grams of weight, even if a girl shoots with handheld, she doesn’t have much weight bearing feeling for a long time.
Since it is compatible with multiple devices, you will find that the packaging contains many accessories, including micro-single, SLR, camera quick-loading board for card machines, tripods, fixed board sliders, lens brackets, various screws, mobile phone fixtures for mobile phones and adapters for GoPro. Even the hexagonal screws for fixing are prepared, which is very rich. There are also various control cables, including Sony , Panasonic and other control cables, which are compatible with most brands of cameras. In this way, the camera and the stabilizer can be connected through the control cable, and the camera operation can be controlled through the stabilizer. The reason why
Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer is mainly due to the choice of material. In addition to aviation aluminum, there is also a polymer synthetic resin combined to ensure stability while reducing the total amount. In addition, the overall black color scheme is quite professional.
In terms of details, I think the Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer is very in place. The vertical handle and the lifting pot are wrapped in anti-slip rubber. The actual experience is very comfortable and fulfilling. Slip does not exist. The stability can be maintained and improved during the shooting of the mirror.
Perhaps, you have noticed that there are some scales on the axis adjustment rod of the heading axis, pitch axis, and horizontal roll axis of the Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer, which is very useful. We know that the stabilizer needs to be adjusted balanced before starting and using it, and this scale is used to mark the camera position. In this way, if it is the same camera and the same lens, just remember to install the scale directly after the first leveling. For example, when we take photos outside, if there is no flat ground around and you cannot place the stabilizer in a horizontal position, then installing the camera in the corresponding scale range at this time can start working, which is very efficient.
Other details, like the threads of the sliding arm fixing knob, the material and feel are very good, and even the surface of the bracket is matte, with rich texture.
Someone is worried about the design of Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer, scorpion-like, is it easy to carry? In fact, its heading shaft, pitch shaft, and roll shaft can be fixed. Each motor has a separate shaft motor lock. When stored, the lock can keep the three axes in a horizontal position, which is very flat, and you can just put the bag directly.Of course, you need to open the three-axis motor lock before each use, so what if you forget it? It doesn't matter. If you don't unlock all of them, you will enter a dormant state and there will be a sound prompt, which is very friendly to novices.
Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer has a 1.3-inch touch screen. The touch screen is still very sensitive. We can change the strength, follow speed, usage scenario and heading follow mode of the three-axis motor in the touch screen. With this touch screen, we do not need to connect to the phone, and can complete daily video shooting directly on the touch screen. It is very intuitive. This greatly facilitates players' daily creations. We do not need to turn on the phone frequently for setting operations, so that you have more time to concentrate on creating.
Take a look at the various buttons of Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer, the UART communication interface and the TYPEC interface in front of the pitch axis bracket. This TYPEC interface can be connected to the TYPEC-TYPEC cable provided by the attached TYPEC interface of some cameras in Canon . For example, my EOSRP can be connected to the CC cable to control shooting.
FPV can quickly enter and exit the full-domain follow mode. The knob at the FY LOGO position is a multi-function knob that can control the angle of roll, pitch, heading, and also control the following focus and other functions. The key in the middle of these two keys is the knob function switching key, which supports clicking and long pressing, and the functions are also different.
There are two buttons F1 and F2 on the left and right sides of the screen position of the pot handle. F1 is the fast entry/exit vertical shooting mode. F2 is the unlock/lock screen.
The three control buttons on the screen, the largest on the left is the rocker button, which controls the pitch axis and heading axis position.
M is the mode key. Click to switch heading follow/full lock, double-click to follow with double-axis, and triple-click to follow with full domain. Even if there is no screen, you can quickly switch through keys, which is very convenient. Another one is the camera button, which supports half-pressing the shutter, full-pressing shooting or recording. Of course, this requires connecting to a mobile phone or camera.
Vertical handle Index finger position This key is the trigger key. Double-click it to reset. Three-click it to enter selfie mode. Press and hold it to enter dual-axis follow mode. Although it feels that the functions of these keys are very rich, you can basically remember it if you experience it a few more times.
From the appearance, Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer is very attentive in terms of details design and functions. It is a quasi-professional multi-device adapter stabilizer. In addition, in terms of battery life, it has a built-in 2500mAh battery, supports 18W fast charging, and the theoretical battery life is about 13 hours. It is stress-free for a day to shoot.
The biggest advantage of Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer is that it takes all SLR, microsingle, mobile phone, and sports cameras. Of course, it needs to be within its load-bearing range. The official theory is that this stabilizer supports 1.2Kg load-bearing, and there is no problem meeting the equipment needs of most consumers.
My camera is a Canon EOSRP+RF50 lens, with a total weight of less than 700g, and even with 24-105, it does not exceed its theoretical load of 1.2Kg. Let’s see the effect on the previous few gifs. The location I chose was not flat, but with potholes and not flat Park grass to check the stable performance of the stabilizer.
Let’s compare two first. The first one has a stabilizer and the second one directly holds the camera and walks the cat step. The difference in the same location is very obvious. It’s not better to know. No matter how stable your handheld moves, the jitter is very obvious.
From the above small shooting, it can be seen that for video shooting, the role of the stabilizer is quite large, especially when shooting sports portraits of this type, which has higher requirements. If you often shoot for your children and record the wonderful moments of your children, the Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer is suitable for you; if you are a pet lover, then shooting the cats, dogs, and Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer at home are also suitable for you, mobile phone cameras, and one stabilizer is all done.
Through the Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer, you can also play with some time-lapse videos, track shooting, etc. The gameplay is still very rich and worth your actual experience. Of course, these functions need to be connected to the camera or mobile phone. Feiyu provides 2 APPs. If you use your mobile phone to shoot on your daily basis, then download and install Feiyu On. If you use more cameras on a daily basis, then download and install Feiyu Scorp APP, divide and conquer them, and perform their own duties!
As a three-axis stabilizer, Feiyu Scorpion Mini stabilizer takes into account the use of SLR, microsingle, mobile phone, and sports camera. It can be adapted to these devices in one machine. Whether you are a professional video creator, a daily vlog video sharing user, or a daily user who only uses a mobile phone to record your life, it is suitable for you. In addition, the integrated pot lifting design is indeed very considerate for the photographer; for players like wedding shooting, who are productivity tools and long-lasting creations, they don’t have to worry about their hands being sore; in addition, autumn is coming soon, shooting low-angle shots such as fallen leaves that are almost close to the ground, the pot lifting design also brings very good camera operation.
