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.

Amazing deal on a gimbal. Just a few short years ago a gimbal of this quality would’ve had a comma in the price tag. This Feiyu “entry” level gimbal has AI tracking which is essential if you want to use it for filming yourself. The motors are super strong and can handle full frame bodies with some beefy glass on the end. I’ve used this with a Sony A7IV and a heavy Sigma 24-70 and it kept up just fine. The smoothing is great and the footage comes out incredibly stable. Setup takes a few minutes but once you get the hang of it you’re good. Included tripod offers lots of stability for your gimbal when filming solo.

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.

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。

Pros Strong for heavier DSLR setups Built‑in AI face tracking actually works quite well Integrated sling handle makes low‑angle shots super easy Smooth stabilization (once properly balanced) Display for quick mode and status checks Cons Balancing is tedious with frequent lens changes Any lens change forces a full rebalance Some plastic components feel budget Controls take time to learn Usage & Performance This gimbal has great stabilization and features. The AI tracking works really well (surprised me), the capacity is excellent, and the sling‑style handle makes creative angles much easier, feel like I'm a pro. Once everything is balanced, the footage is smooth and professional looking. The trade off is setup, balancing is touchy, and you’ll be rebalancing often if you swap lenses. It’s powerful, but it definitely rewards patience and experience. Would I Order Again? For sure. It’s a great gimbal that does impressive shots, even if the setup process and weight keep it from being perfect.

Its assembly requires precise axis balancing before powering on—underscored by a terse instruction kit—and uses an Allen-key-secured mounting plate that must be rebalanced with every lens swap. Once tuned, it delivers generally good stabilization, though coarse control inputs and some plastic drivetrain parts hint at durability concerns over long-term use. ✅ Pros: - Motorized stabilization: Smooths out handheld shake across three axes once properly balanced - Secure camera mount: Holds DSLRs firmly in place without slippage or accidental release - Adjustable to lens changes: Can accommodate a range of lens sizes (with rebalance) for versatile shooting - Solid core framing: Main arms and motors feel robust and well-built for everyday field use ❌ Cons: - Poor beginner documentation: Sparse instructions led to early “crunching” noises and risk of motor strain - Mandatory pre-power balancing: Failing to perfectly level all three axes before activation can stress components - Tool-dependent mounting: Allen-key plate installation isn’t as quick or convenient as tool-free systems - Coarse control responsiveness: Small joystick presses translate into large, imprecise camera movements - Plastic drivetrain parts: Rack-and-pinion cog and some hinges are plastic, raising premature wear concerns - Rebalancing hassle: Every lens swap requires repeating the full balance ritual to maintain performance
