Here is the review of Feiyutech Vimble 2, this is a 3 axis handheld gimbal, comes with a really good price tag (Cheapest Gimbal) and key advantage is that it can be extended plus comes with a tripod stand. Check this review to know more and also check the sample shots in the video review.
The box packing is quite unique, inside you will find a case that is specially made for this gimbal. This is a carry / storage case. Inside the case you will get mini tripod attachment, strap, user manual in Chinese and English, data cable and the Feiyutech Vimble 2.
I had already done the review of Feiyutech Vimble C and this one is an upgraded one, much better. The Feiyutech Vimble 2 looks great, got a premium look, made of plastic and aluminum. This gimbal however is a bit heavy (weight around 428 grams).
The Feiyutech Vimble 2 comes with 2 buttons, a joystick button for movement and a trigger button for quick lock. The innovative smart phone mount allows you to set the phone in landscape or portrait mode for selfie videos.
There are two USB ports one near the button on the Gimbal handle and the other near the smartphone mount. The one on the handle is to charge the built in battery whereas the one near the mount is to charge the smartphone (if need be – for that you will need a special cable).
You will need to use the Vicool app to be able to use the buttons and other modes. There is a 360 degree mode that automatically rotates the camera 360 degree, slowly, this is perfect for 360 degree panoramic shots. This Vicool app also comes with face follow and object follow mode that tracks the object / face (check video review to see it in action).
As per your requirement you can attach the tripod and keep the gimbal on a surface this is perfect for 360 degree shots / for selfie / self shot videos. But the best thing I liked about the Feiyutech Vimble 2 is the 18cm extension rod. You can extend the rod as you do on a selfie stick. This really helps for some shots and specially for selfie videos with wide frame.
Feiyutech Vimble 2 houses a 2200 mAh battery that takes about 2 to 3 hours for a full charge and on a full charge you will get about up to 5 hours of non-stop usage. This Gimbal can hold smartphones with weight of max 210 grams, but when using portrait mode max weight it can handle is 200 grams. This is a 3 axis gimbal, smartphone stabilizer and does a really fantastic job.
Verdict
An excellent buy if you shoot a lot of videos using your smartphone. With this Feiyutech Vimble 2 you will be taking the video quality to the next level, cinematic style, smooth. The price is really good so go ahead, buy the Feiyutech Vimble 2 and start shooting professional videos.
