ATTENTION: Please note that reframing the shot with FeiyuTech is now possible as well. It is the same gesture as with Hohem... so from my tests, FeiyuTech certainly has the highest points...
Thank you so much for all you do here! I have and continue to learn so much from you! I appreciate your knowledge, kindness and willingness to share greatly! 😁👍🏻
I was just going to ask you about that....Thank you for updating us on the reframing. I just recieved my Hohem M6, I do not own a camera yet, only an iPhone Pro Max, is it worth getting the Feiyutech for $50 more? Thank you in advance!
Very good review! Thanks a lot, Zdenka. I have a Sony ZVe10 and a Samsung Galaxy S10. And I'm hesitating between Feyu Scorp mini 2 and Zhiyun Crane M2S (and not the M3S, a little expensive for me). But the design and the “double handle” of the Scorp Mini 2 appeal to me. AI tracking is a plus, but not the most important thing for me, although I would definitely use it if I had it. Over time, and after spending hours watching a lot of tests, the Scorp Mini 2 has moved into pole position... What do you think?
Happy New Year!!! Thank you so much for your reviews! I had ordered the Hohem iSteady M6 Kit which will be here Friday but after seeing the stability of the Feiyu SCORP Mini 2 and the fact that it will also work with other cameras not just my iPhone 15 Pro Max I am considering returning the M6 and ordering the Mini 2. The price point isn’t that different and the Mini 2 seems easier to operate as well. Your view and opinion would be greatly appreciated here. 😊❤ Update! I also noticed online (Amazon) that the Mini 2 has custom framing now when tracking! Firmware update maybe?😊
Happy new year! Thank you so much for pointing it out. I will do some research on that and possibly contact the company to see if they did edit the reframing feature there. It will be great if it was really working.
I have been waiting for this since you mentioned it a few months ago. I bought the Hohem MT2 but I did not know about the Scorp Mini 2. My challenge with the MT2 was balancing the tilt axis with my compact cameras Sony RX100-VII and Sony 6300. Both of them are shorter than the Sony A7, so the centre of gravity is low and the slider will no go high enough, so I bought a SmallRig adaptor that raises the 1/4 in connector.
Thank you very much for living your experience. I had to do the same thing with other gimbals. It is quite common actually. If you have a camera which needs more weight, do you have to do that
Hi Zdenka, Just ordered the SCORP Mini 2 based on this review. I was able to receive a 10% discount using your code. Thanks for sharing your insightful info.
Feiyu Scorp Mini 2 is most stable, best sensor and most User friendly app. But Unfortunately not available in my country which is Pakistan. Anyways good informative video and Nice Family.
I would go with Zhihun. They have a distribution network here in the UK; I can walk into my local camera store & buy one off the shelf, and their tech support seems good. Things like regular firmware updates is a plus, too.
Happy New Year Ma'am, this is super hard work, because of the cold in Canada!!! And so detailed !! Thank you so much ! This also tells me that I can never become a vlogger 😋😜🤪. Shall consider all the points before commenting, need to go through the video a few more times to note things down. Thanks again.
You are very welcome. You might be surprised but I prefer filming in cold weather rather then plus 35 degrees... lol... it is easier to bundle up and be warm then being way too hot...
I bought the Hohem iSteady M6 and shoot with an iPhone 14 Pro Max, but I am thinking about change it to the MT2 because using any external wireless microphone receiver makes the balance very off center, excellent comparison
Nowadays, which one do you use the most? I'm really torn between the Hohem and the Scorp. I really like the AI features you mentioned on the Hohem, but the better stabilization on the Scorp is obviously a good thing. I use a Canon R8 and a Samsung Ultra 24, if that helps to give some context. I'm really paralyzed deciding which of them is the best option.
This video is amazing! Super clear and you covered all the points! I think considering AI, both Hohem and Scorpion are the best and more or less are equivalent. Anyhow beautiful toys and beautiful technology! Thanks for the video , super well done!
great review/explanations ❤ For filming horses that are moving, using a tripod to mount the gimbal on, like in the centre of a riding arena, and primarily using a smartphone to film with (Android phone) Which gimbal has the best AI object tracking, and can go the furthest distance? Would it be Hohem, Insta360 Flow, Dji Osmo Mobile 6, Feiyu Vimble 3SE, Feiyu Vimble 3, Feiyu VB4, or perhaps some other alternative? Kind regards.
I just won the scorp mini 2 for 50$ in an auction I go pick it up tomorrow I'm super excited, I currently use the weebill s and the trigger is broken and the locks don't lock I won it from the same auction for 60$ I doubt I'll use my phone with it but I will be using my a6400 great review
Ahoi Zdenka. Thank you for this really good and informative video. After watching this I decided to give the Scorp mini 2 a chance. Can you remember if you heard any quiet high frequency sounds (like coil whine) while rotating the multifunctional knob? I am just trying to find out whether it’s a normal behavior of the gimbal or not.
I'd go for Hohem but all these gimbals look really huge in your hand. They're also pretty attention grabbing, something I'm not looking for as I vlog on my phone. But all are great looking and eye candy for me the gear bunny. Happy new year Zdenka.
And I totally agree with you. If you’re only filming with your phone, you don’t need to have three in one gimbal. Something as DJI I M6 or Hohem iSteady m6 should be enough
I make videos in outdoor dusty enviornment cutting trees, doing logging and tractor work. I am looking for a gimbal to track me, it would be on a tripod always and the range of tracking us very important, further the better. Thoughts or suggestion?
@ZdenkaDarula thank you, I watched a bunch of videos on the mt2, figured if I bought the ins/warranty on it I could replace it if it stopped working, from what I saw the range seemed to be the best. Can't say for sure as my info is all 2nd hand.
Just received my scorp mini 2. It's really great. Very intuitive and excellent ergonomics. Only complaints would be the payload is small, and the 2 apps should be combined into one. Would be great if they extended support to more camera systems and action cams. They only support go pro connectivity but I use new ace pro. Also I'm struggling to update the firmware, doesn't work on the two apps no matter what I try. Lastly the counterweight you see in all the reviews is no longer included in the kit which is a bit disappointing.
Thank you so much for sharing.. the counterweights are not included? That is a bummer for sure. I wonder what CC the issue could be with firmware update. I had to try 2x but worked after all… hopefully it will work for you soon…, best wishes
This is exactly what I was looking for! I've had my Osmo6 for a year and only just recently did I realize you cannot use the tracking with while live streaming on YT.😠
Yes unfortunately that one doesn't allow it. I am not sure when the Osmo 7 will come out.. some people are predicting any time now but who knows if it will have tracking... Hohem isteady M6 is only for smartphones and that one has that feature.
@@ZdenkaDarula I will be doing iPhone only shooting so I liked your comments about the Scorp phone clip. I am spoiled by the OSMO auto calibration but i'm willing to let that go. Keep up the great content!
Thank you for the wonderful review. I am filming with S23 ultra plus lenses. I need AI tracking. This is a must. I don’t understand how to use a mic with Hohem because there is no room for the receiver. If I position the mare in a different way, it is unusual and makes different footage. Can you recommend any gimbal with AI and the ability to use mic? Also, I need a button to quickly go vertical. Like with DJI4.
Thank you for the test, so you can decide between the 3. I have an old Hohem +. One of the things that bothered me, there was never any update. In these three that you tested, Have you had any firmware updates? . Another question is, it's worth noting that two brands sell the engines if necessary.
I'm so confused So initially i was considering buying pocket 3 but after many research thought of accompanying my s24 ultra with gimbal rather than buying pocket 3. After considering many compact gimbal that serves my purpose of carry everywhere and just vlog, I ended up with insta 360 flow, but your video of mobile gimbal convinced me for hohem m6 kit. While buying m6 kit at the store, they tried selling me Hohem MT2 kit as they don't have m6. Now I'm in dilemma on which one to go for. I am also having Nikon z6 with 28-75mm f 2.8 amd 85mm f1.8. Which one should i pick? Insta360 flow ( compact) M6 kit (best for phone) Then one of these products in the video ( if this then which one?)
If you are not happy with the Insta360 go, I need something stronger then M6 is simple. MT2 is complicated to only use it with a smart phone. If you really wants to use it also with your big cameras then it makes sense otherwise I would not get that.
After my last comment on your dedicated Scorp mini 2 review that literally 30 mins ago I ordered it from Amazon. I am awaiting the Sony zv-e10 mark ii to come out then putting my Sony Xperia 1 V on-top of the camera and using the phone as a monitor plus live streaming device for the camera. Be interesting to see how the Scorp mini 2 handles that.
Thank you for mentioning it. Yes I did check already and it is now possible. I will make a pinned comment at the top to make sure this has been cleared out... this means that for me personally Scorp scored the highest points...
Which Gimble would you suggest for using with a phone camera cage and addon lens. Most of the mobile phone ones just wont open wide enough for the cage or the weight of the phone and cage is to heavy for it.
that was what I was looking for, perfect, in another reviews the tracking mode of Scorp Mine 2 was lost end the hohem was better in this vídeo I see the difference and I am impressed whit the scorp mine
I unfortunately don’t remember right now as I review so many gimbals. I show itinerary this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J1k8GUUf9U0.htmlsi=zHdhzYI0MjIvmwnV
Not sure if I missed you mentioning the Feiyu SCORP Mini 2 can you film with the blackmagic app for the iPhone 15 pro max? And I also see people using smallrig cages with a setup because iPhone has good stability in camera is a gimble still needed? Love to hear your thoughts, and insights I have a video shoot for a company product sent and looking for ideas on best setup for 15 pro max in blackmagic app
Gimbals is needdd for long shots and controlled shots. It is hard to keep horizon perfectly straight as you walk…, you can only control shutter button in Blackmagic
Hi Zdenka, I an noob in gimbals until some months ago when take in hand the Freefly Movi Cinema robot. About the Freefly, works well only when is figured out the balancing which is an stressful issue. The Freefly is limited for smartphones, so I write you because I see the presentation video isn't long time ago and is presented Feiyu Scorp Mini 2. Well I am confused because there are other similar such as Mini 3 and other Scorp Mini. Why have you chosen for Mini 2 and not the other Scorp Mini? To end, I like to be busy with construction building rigs but the big issue of my concern is stabilization for old camcorder HDC-SD90 and iPhone SE2020. As I am just an beginner in the Gimbal or stabilization world is it emportent that the Gimbal is technical not to complicated. I was after few time able to figured out the settings of the Freefly. Thanks that you are there to share your talent with us, you are amazing. Small sideways question, Have build big video rig that is placed on an big video tripod that can hold at least 12 kg. I searched me crazy to find an gimbal with no long hand grip, meaning an short basic connection with an 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch tripod screw possibility. Found the Modular Manfrotto but the base is long. The Moza Aircross 3 seem workable in case the arm grip is setting op 90°. Pity that I am not able to share photos, it would be easier to understand what I with limited English trying to explain. Note: The Mini 2 is small, it will perhaps be place able on the selfmade rig. Reminder/ the differences between several Scorp Mini Gimbals. Luc from Belgium
Thank you very much for your comment. Your English is great. Mini 2 is newer model which has better features. This gimbal is quite simple to use so I would recommend it to a beginner. I hope this helps. Best wishes
Hi hello nice review in this 23 gimbals. I just wanna ask did you tried and have an estimate on hoheim mt2 the lens you use weight and length. I want to use this on a Sony 135 lens. I want to know if its ok. Hope to receive a reply from you. Thank you
Hi, great review, really nice to see so detailed a comparison. One thing I have never seen though is any comments on the corporate social responsibility stances of these companies. I get that the tech is the most important question for most people, but say you were undecided between Hohem and Feyutech, for me, if i thought one had a better ethical policy that would be a clear decider. I have even written to insta360 and feyutech to ask their policy.... no meaningful response. I guess we just have to assume they are all equally crap when it comes to the environment, labour practices and the minerals are probably coming from war zones. I wonder if you have any insight?
Crane M3S: Has anyone been successful with controlling aperture or ISO through the user interface on the M3S by using the usb-C cable on a camera (tried with a Canon RP) as Zhiyun states works with Crane M3S on their support website? I can’t find any how-to info or see any settings on the M3S display about this. Just being able to get the shutter (start/stop) to work…
My bad. I realize that reading the manual from time to time actually helps! 😂 I found it by just scrolling in the scroll wheel settings and can choose one of the functions. Incl. electronic focus which surprised me works! So now I have both the M3S and the SCORP Mini 2 because of you @ZdenkaDarula! Having too many gimbals thanks to you! 😂🎉
Ahoj Prosím chcel by som poprosiť o radu. Mám Feiyou tech vimble. Bohužiaľ už som ho dával 2x reklamovať na motory používam ho len s iPhone. Mal som požičaný DJI Osmo Mobile ale tam my nevyhovovalo chovanie gimbalu z hľadiska natáčania z nízkej výšky do vyššej ako sa gimbal vždy preklopil preto som sa rozhodol hľadať nový. Rozmýšľam nad Feiyoutech Scorp 2mini (ale mám obavu z predchádzajúcej skúsenosti s touto značkou) páči sa mi ergonómia držania alebo Zhiun. Plánujem natáčať stále na iPhone potrebu večšej kamery zatiaľ nemám. Dokážeš mi prosím poradiť čo by bola pre mna lepšia voľba. Ďakujem
Tak v tomto případě bych vzala Hohem isteady M6. Silný motor funguje perfektně a je to jednoduché. Tyto stabilizátory v tomto videu jsou dost složité a jsou hlavně pro větší kamery
Ahoj Zdenka, dalsie super porovnanie. Chcel by som sa opytat ohladom Hohem MT2 kit. Chcel by som natacat na mobil a planoval som kupit isteady M6 ale momentalne je MT2 kit za velmi dobru cenu. Chcel by som sa opytat ktory je z hladiska pouzivania lepsi a pre ktory by si sa rozhodla. Moja priorita je rozsah pohybov a praktickost. Pri M6 sa mi paci moznost rychlo otocit orientaciu vyska/sirka. Pri MT2 sa mi paci uzamykanie motorov a rozsah pohybu pri natacani na vysku. Vyzera ze clovek nezavadi o mobil ak prejde s ruckou prilis hore. Ani jeden som ale nemal moznost drzat v ruke. Kedze ty s nimi aktivne pracujes, ktory by bol tvoj favorit? Dakujem pekne
Ahoj… pokud budete pouze natáčet s mobilem tak M6 je mnohem jednodušší… Mt2je hlavně pro větší kamery s sestavení je složitější…. Doufám ze vám to pomůže. Přeji hezky den
Ahoj Zdenka, dakujem velmi pekne za radu a odpoved. Na toto som cakal pre finalne rozhodnutie. Idem teda vyskusat M6. Pri MT2 ma zaujala znizena cena ale na cestovanie bude asi naozaj praktickejsia M6. Prajem pekny den. Tomas
I hate when some one make me watch a video but dont give any comnclusion about with one is better🤔🤔🤔🤔, wha is the point of wahta your video, hou can i deside about something i dont have or never used before?
Oh, you are far off.. I cannot give you the best gimbal because if you have Android chances are that the gimbal is not gonna work with your phone. You have to choose gimbal according to your phone model and what do you need and what you film.., these type of comments, only spread his information
If you listen in the video, you have to find out what is compatible with your phone you have. Then you have to think if you need beginners gimbal or you are capable of handling something which is more advanced.. this is the reason I cannot tell you what gimbal is the best.., if you are brand new, go with the beginner, friendly gimbal and then check compatibility if your phone is good for this product
@ipmdigitalmediaproductions3242 Hi Zdenka, thank you and I am now on board the YPP DEC 2023. I Followed you since 2015. I will learn more again from you. Stay Blessed .from South Africa. written 04/01/2024
