FeiyuTech Official SCORP 2 Gimbal Stabilizer for Camera,3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Canon/Sony/Panasonic/Nikon/Fujifilm,5.51lb Payload,Built-in AI Tracking Module,Bluetooth/Cable Control, STD KIT

First, presentation is nice, however, I have another gimbal from Hohem that came with an actual carrying case which is way nicer than a box with a handle.Second, FeiyuTech support is very pleasant to deal with but very slow and ultimately was unable to help me with my problem. I would email them at midnight and they would reply 23 hours later which happened 3 times in a row. They were unable to offer a real solution.Third, the Scorp 2 will not stop vibrating. I have it perfectly balanced as verified by both the app and by support who I sent a video of proof. The tilt motor won't stop vibrating and it would transmit what sounds like an A/C line hum into the camera's audio.Fourth, the replacement Scorp 2 was 50x worse. When I put it on the ground, it feels like sitting in an old car with an unbalanced 4 cylinder engine, idling at too low of an RPM, with 3 broken motor mounts.Besides being completely problematic, the battery does not last all that long and also tends to heat up, probably both related to the vibration. The 2nd Scorp 2 lasted maybe 2 minutes and turned off. The 1st Scorp 2 lasted probably around 15 minutes from a full charge.Real shame, I really wanted to like the Scorp 2. I'll be sticking to my Hohem MT2. Not nearly the same weight class but at least the Hohem MT2 works.Unrelated, but the 2nd Scorp 2 had the GUI on Chinese by default. The first one was English.

I really liked the way the device was held. It was very easy to use, and the battery lasted a while, so far. I wasn't thrilled with the fact that it couldn't be easily replaced, but it looks like I won't have any issues with that for a while.

I am a multi award winner full time filmmaker since 2012. My camera I got at 12 years old (40+ years ago).I am a DJI Ronin user. I currently own the RS3 so my review is from a Ronin user perspective.This is not a run an gun gimbal. The setup and balancing are TERIBLE.If you are a solo filmmaker and you are the only one who will work with this gimbal, AND there will be no lens change or any other change, great gimbal.If you need something that is multi user and will require different configurations on set, pass on.I believe is is a higher end Consumer grade gimbal, if so, great gimbal for what it is.Bottom line the stabilization is excellent. On par with DJI. The app is actually better than DJI with a lot more features that I did not test. If you are a Vlogger and film yourself mostly, I think all the fluff in the app is great. If you work on a film set (as I do) I have NEVER used apps to control the gimbal on set, or any of the other fluffy stuff. When you are on the clock the director expects you to deliver what he/she wants on time.So depending on apps for control are completely out of the picture (pun intended). I'm sure there is someone out there that has mastered the apps, well not me.OK The bad stuff now - I think the engineers were high when they figured out that you need to puzzle together 4 parts that are NOT intuitive in order to set up the gimbal. If you are on set and need to do it quickly, not for you. If you are solo and will set up once and leave it ready FOREVER, then great gimbal.There is NO way to do micro adjustments. It is painful to balance. So this is not a gimbal for changing setup. If you will use the same camera / lens / battery, etc. for the whole shoot, great gimbal.No auto lock when turned off. But that is all for the bad stuff.The Good Stuff now - After it is balanced the operation is smooth and simple. Turn it on and go.I have not played with the multiple setups I just used PF (which is what I use 95% of the time on set).Very responsive and smooth. It does what you want it to do. It turns with you. Very good.Have not had a chance to use the camera controls but the amount of cables included are actually scary. Looks like there are 20 cables, perhaps even one for a disposable camera (JK).The app is fast and has great features. Auto Balancing is simple and fast, auto tune is simple and fast. DJI need to look at this one.From front shot to upside down - A breeze! The gimbal turned quick and no hiccups to upside down and back to normal. Way better than DJI.The joystick is responsive and a tad sensitive, just like all other gimbals. Apparently there are settings on the app to adjust that. Did not play with it.Payload is about 5lb so no big lens on this one (don't quite understand why people put a 200mm/f2.8 on a gimbal). So bare in mind camera setup for the SCOPR 2So I gave it 5 stars because it is a Prosumer gimbal and for that reason it is a great gimbal. Again, not for a film set, but for weddings or Vlogger, great device.

My new SCORP 2 will not work because it continues to say update firmware. I reached out to company and they a phone number that does not exist. Don’t buy, it’s a scam. Call customer service before you purchase save yourself the headache and not to mention how pricey it is. I decided to go to DJI so I could talk to a real person

I've recently bought a brand new DSLR and afterwards I'd found many if not most of the other stabilizers now are for mirrorless or action cameras. (all the lightweights) So when I seen this stabilizer come up for review I was thrilled and got in line. As things seem to go for me, I've been in the hospital for almost two weeks. I'm home now, so the first thing I did was get it out of the box and start setting it up .well I fell asleep with it and abruptly woke up when I heard it hit the floor. I don't know if you can call it a test. But the gimbal came out of it fine. The setup wasn't too bad no problems with that. The whole unit was on the heavy side but not bad considering it's 5.5lb payload ability. I still have a lot to learn but it performed well with the hand signing commands, but I was only able to conduct minimal testing. It's early March so I won't be able to get out and play with it until it warms up. So far it seems to track well very smoothly. I don't like to give reviews of taking out of the box. So it will be a bit until I can give my honest opinion. It seems that many feel an obligation to give a five star reviews. I was asked to give honest reviews in my contract, so that's what you'll get from my reviews or updates. I apologize I try to keep reviews short and to the point although I did ramble a bit today. This is a basic review not the best I know, I will try to update my review asap. I hope this review is somewhat helpful.My largest interest in it was the payload 5.5lbs, it is heavy especially with a DSLR on it and it seems to perform okay. Thanks
