SCORP-C2 AI Tracking Gimbal for Cameras,3-Axis Stabilizer for DSLR/Mirrorless Camera Sony/Canon/Panasonic/Nikon/Fujifilm,Native Vertical Shooting,Intelligent Tracking,Max 7.72lbs Payload

The whole thing is not very heavy without a camera. I have an S5IIX and it seems to handle it well. There's not a lot of handle to hold onto without the tripod screwed in. But I found that with a lighter set-up like just my body and a F1.8 28mm, it's not too bad to hold with one hand. What I really appreciate is that the briefcase handle is built-in. That makes it a lot easier to use when the shot is low to the ground. I find that the motion is very smooth in the standard mode. Everything seems to be put together well and is virtually silent. Even giving it a good shake is quiet. So this gives me confidence that it will be durable. And a lot of the life of the motors has to do with how well the camera is balanced. The AI follow feature is interesting. I played around with it but I don't really have a regular use case for that feature. I really just need a steady walking or running shot setup. There are features on the gimbal that I don't think I'll ever use, but I feel that they do add to the value for the money. The screen is small but it tells you the essentials about your mode. It just takes a little getting used to to remember the mode acronyms. I think my favorite feature is the wheel. It's just nice to have such a tactile control.

I haven't used a gimbal with a mounted camera before, but I have used a personal camera that had a built-in gimbal, so I was somewhat familiar with it (although that one didn't have as many controlled axes as this one does). The only part I had trouble with was the gimbal balancing. Following the diagram on the included mini-manual didn't really work out, partly because I didn't initially realize that some of the gimbals had multiple lock positions. I found a short video online, and this made it much easier. Still though, adjust the various sliders to be in just the right position was a little tricky because most of the sliders don't move smoothly enough to do tiny adjustments. Only one of them is on a geared track. Be aware that the balancing has to be redone if you change anything - if you're using a zoom lens, you can't change the zoom, you can't forget and leave your lens cap on, you have to decide if you need the hood or not, and you definitely can't change lenses. Once it was properly set up though, it worked well. The gimbals can control from 2 to 4 degrees of freedom, and they do a good job of it, keeping everything smooth. There's a built-in AI tracking feature where you can make hand motions to turn the tracking on and off and start/stop recording. It tracks you with face recognition, and it seemed to do a pretty good job of it for any normal movement. While I don't have any immediate use for this feature, it is neat and I could see it being really helpful for some people. The rig is a bit bulky, but it does fold down into the box very nicely. However, you have to detach two parts to do this (plus there's a part you might need to take off your camera), so it's not quick and of course you undo all the balancing. The biggest downside for me during the operation was the weight of it. It starts to get heavy after just a few minutes. It would really help to have some kind of supportive harness. The other problem I had was with the controls. There's a lot of overloading of the controls - press to do this, press twice to do that, or three times to do something else. Press vs press and hold, etc. And the labelling is very sparse. Overtall though, it was easy to use for the basic functions, and it worked well.

I've used the FeiyuTech gimbals before and really thought they were excellent. Comparing this to my DJI RS4 Mini, I think this is built better and feels more premium compared to the creaky plastics on the RS4 Mini. I also find this model easier to balance and generally prefer using this to the RS4M but really, they're both solid stabilizers that can deliver cinematic footage. They're both pretty similar in design for the most part, but some nice features here are a more standard mounting plate and having the AI tracking functions built-in whereas DJI charges extra for the module. In my testing the tracking was very accurate with faces and really made using the gimbal solo for recording a bit easier. Battery life is solid, easily lasting a day of use so I didn't find anything to complain about there either. Panning and tilt are great, it's very smooth with slow sweeps that really add a cinematic look to movements and everything is adjustable to dial in speeds. The large knob is just plain fun to use and on the whole the controls are laid out well and are reasonably intuitive. The companion app could use some more work but I don't think DJI's is particularly great either and a lot of settings and functions are buried in menus. There's a definitely a learning curve with these gimbals, but they really nail the basics with incredible stabilization and cinematic movements and I think this unit is an incredible value for everything it offers out of the box and is a worthy alternative to the seemingly more popular Ronin series.

The motors of the camera performed pretty well. They were capable of supporting the weight of my DSLR camera and lens without any difficulty whatsoever. In addition, the rear handle integrated into my camera allowed me to create different views while capturing images. When capturing images from both the height of my eyes and a lower angle, I did not have to attach any additional accessories (such as a lens hood) to my camera. The grip was steady throughout the day, and the stabilizer on my camera kept the horizon line perfectly straight as I moved around. The tracking module did an EXCELLENT job of keeping the face centered while the subject turned their head from side to side. Amazing gimbal, I am very satisfied.

The FeiyuTech SCORP-C2 delivers excellent stabilization, keeping footage smooth even during fast movement or tricky angles. Its AI face-tracking works impressively well, making it easy to follow subjects without constant manual adjustment. With strong payload support and native vertical shooting, it’s a versatile gimbal for creators using DSLR or mirrorless cameras.

The FeiyuTech SCORP-C2 AI Face Tracker Gimbal is an absolute powerhouse for creators who want smooth, cinematic footage without the hassle. The 3 axis stabilisation is incredibly responsive and buttery smooth , whether I’m walking, panning or filming dynamic movement, the footage looks professional straight out of the camera. It handles my DSLR/mirrorless setup with ease (up to 7.72 lbs), and balancing is straightforward and secure. The AI face tracking is seriously impressive. It locks onto subjects quickly and keeps them perfectly framed, which is a huge advantage for solo creators, interviews, vlogging and event coverage. The native vertical shooting mode is a brilliant feature for social content, no awkward adjustments needed. Switching modes is quick and intuitive, and the build quality feels premium and ergonomic for longer shoots. Overall, this is a five star, pro grade gimbal that delivers stability, smart tracking and creative flexibility in one beautifully designed package. If you’re serious about video quality, the SCORP-C2 is an outstanding investment!

本体重量は1,320gと一般的な同サイズ感のジンバルと遜色なく扱いやすい重量感かなと思います。 FeiyuTechというメーカーは今回のきっかけがあるまで正直存じ上げなかったのですが、ジンバルの性能は優秀に思います。 ジンバル自体にAIトラッキング機能が内蔵されており、思っていたよりもこのAIが優秀でした。 操作周りのボタン配置もよくシンプルで使いやすいです。 バランスをとる際の微調整がやや動きが渋い部分がありこの点は要改善かなと思いますが、それ以外は特に大きな不満のないジンバルでした。

At around $297, the FeiyuTech SCORP-C2 offers a massive payload capacity and built-in AI tracking that rivals gimbals twice its price and more. However, let's get one thing straight right out of the gate - this is definitely a heavy-duty DSLR and large mirrorless camera rig. It is on the heavier side, and it is not a good choice for lighter cameras, action cams, or smartphones. If you run a heavy, professional camera setup and want a budget-friendly stabilizer, this is a beast. Just be prepared for a steep learning curve, but that’s fairly standard for professional gimbals. The "Scorp" Design and Build Quality - The integrated, one-piece rear suspension handle (the "Scorp" design) is really nice to use, especially for lower shots. Having the controls on the rear handle arm rather than a traditional vertical stick makes low-angle shots incredibly comfortable, and once you use this style, you won't want to go back to a standard stick gimbal. However, on the downside, the build quality is a bit of a mixed bag. The core framing and aluminum arms are solid and easily support the massive 7.72 lb payload. But the finish leaves a bit to be desired with some plastic drivetrain parts feel a bit cheap, and the rubber grips that don’t seat perfectly. That said, the multi-function wheel is actually very good—it's aluminum and feels solid; maybe not quite super premium, but definitely very good. It's also a heavy rig too, and you’ll definatly feel the arm fatigue after a few minutes of shooting without a support harness, but that’s to be expected for rigs with this type of payload capacity. Performance and AI Tracking - once dialed in, the 3-axis stabilization is pro-level handling heavy lenses smoothly and taking the micro-jitters out of your smooth walking shots really well. The built-in AI Face Tracker is also a great feature for solo shooters. You use hand gestures to start/stop tracking and recording without needing to mess with a phone and buggy Bluetooth apps. It works really well when you are facing the camera. The AI relies heavily on seeing your eyes, so if you turn around and it can only see the back of your head, the tracking becomes noticeably more jittery and hit and miss. Setup & Balancing - where the Patience's come in - This is not a plug-and-play device and the balancing process is tedious. The included manual is sparse, so you’ll need to watch YouTube tutorials to figure it out, unless you’re really familiar with gimbals. Worse still, the mounting plate requires an allen/hex key and the slider adjustments are coarse making micro-adjustments difficult. Because it is so sensitive, you have to completely rebalance the rig if you change anything—including zooming your lens in or even taking a large lens cap off - definatly where the budget elements of this gimbal show through. Pros & Cons: PROS: Massive 7.72 lbs Payload that easily handles full-frame DSLRs and heavy zoom lenses. App-Free AI Tracking with a built-in sensor tracks your face via hand gestures perfectly for solo vlogging/shooting. The integrated rear handle makes low angle/underslung shooting a breeze. Value - unbeatable lifting power and features for under $300. CONS: Tedious balancing procedures that require an Allen key, and any changes (lens or zoom adjustment) requiring you to reblance. Heavy - this is a hefty piece of gear so expect some arm fatigue on long shoots. Fit & Finish Isn’t premium - some plastic components and rubber grips feel budget-tier. Controls arn’t intuitive with a lot of "double press" and "press and hold" button combos to memorize. Overkill for lighter cameras, and too heavy and bulky for phones and action cameras. Specs at a Glance: Max Payload 7.72 lbs (3.5 kg) Integrated rear suspension handle Built-in AI Face Tracking Sensor (Gesture controlled) Handles DSLR & Heavy Mirrorless cameras(Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Nikon, etc.) Extras - OLED Display, Native Vertical Shooting support Final Thoughts - if capacity and stabilization are your primary concerns, the SCORP-C2 delivers professional results at a hobbyist price that’s difficult to beat. It's definitely not for casual smartphone vloggers, and the setup will test your patience with every change requiring a readjustment but if you are willing to learn how to balance it, this rig punches way above its weight class.

3.5kgのペイロードがあるのでそれなりに重さ、大きさともにありますが 同クラスのペイロードのジンバルでは軽い方ですね。 グリップ周りに必要なスイッチが揃っており、とても操作しやすいです。 拡張性はほぼありませんが、個人クリエイターでしたらコスパもよく問題ないと思います。 気になる点が多々あるため列挙 ・持ち運びケースは別売り。マイナー機種のため検索しても専用ケースは見当たらず。 ・素材表面がザラザラしており、アームの微調整が引っかかる。 ・バッテリーは取り外しできず、充電スペースに大きな本体ごと置かなければいけない。 ・カメラを取付時、左右のスペース調整がほんの少ししか出来ない（プレートをカメラ中心からズラさないといけないのも気分的にイマイチ） などなど細かな不満点が多く出てきます。 ほかのジンバルを使用して比べた結果、正直に本商品をオススメは出来ないです。

Stabilization is the standout. Footage comes out smooth and controlled even while walking or filming movement, and it handles heavier DSLR/mirrorless setups without issue. Once properly balanced (we'll come back to that), it delivers very polished, professional-looking results. AI face tracking works surprisingly well. It locks onto subjects quickly and keeps them framed, which is especially useful for solo shooting, interviews, or vlogging. The built-in vertical shooting mode is also a nice touch for social content. Build quality is VERY solid overall. It has some weight to it, but the grip is comfortable and secure for longer sessions. Controls are generally easy to access, though not always very precise. Setup is where it gets tricky. Balancing takes time and patience, especially for beginners, and you’ll need to redo it every time you change lenses. The included instructions aren’t great, so expect to rely on videos to figure things out. However, if you're a hobbyist or a pro, you already know how to balance cameras on gimbals. There are a few smaller downsides too - some plastic components, slightly clunky fine adjustments, and a control system that can feel a bit oversensitive. Those plastic components are generally so solid that at first you may think they are metal, though, so that's barely a con at all. Overall, a very capable, feature-packed gimbal with excellent stabilization and tracking, but best suited for pros, or for users willing to spend time learning and setting it up properly. It really feels like a true pro tool.
