The Feiyu AK4500 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer Kitis a compact 3-axis gimbal stabilizer that improves on its predecessor, the AK4000, by supporting up to 10.1 lb loads. It's designed with an angled motor arm so there's nothing blocking your camera screen, and it provides 360° pan, 230° tilt, and 360° roll motion.

The gimbal features a multifunction handwheel on the side and a touchscreen LCD smart panel integrated into the handle. The handwheel allows you to control the movement of the camera in select operational modes, including pan and tilt modes, and also lets you digitally control focus and zoom with compatible cameras. Additionally, an external focus motor is included and the handwheel is capable of controlling it as well. Please visit the Feiyu website for a list of compatible cameras for standard operation as well as Wi-Fi focus/zoom control.

The touchscreen LCD, the joystick, and the handwheel work together to let you assign and adjust all the settings of the gimbal. The gimbal also includes the companion Feiyu ON iOS/Android app (free download) that lets you adjust settings and perform various actions remotely. The Hyperlink remote controller is also included so you can perform all the above gimbal control actions up to 49' away from the gimbal via Bluetooth.

The gimbal's camera baseplate is compatible with Manfrotto or Arca-Swiss style plates for a variety of mounting options. An extension rod supplied with the AK4500 can be attached to the bottom of the gimbal handle so you can comfortably hold the gimbal with both hands for select types of shots. Or, you can use the included mini tripod to set the gimbal down on a flat surface.

The gimbal can be connected over Wi-Fi to compatible devices to control photo/video capture, focus, zoom, sensitivity adjustment, white balance, and exposure value, as well as to switch modes. At the same time, the included Feiyu ON iOS/Android app can connect to your camera via Bluetooth to set up various other parameters.

Four included 18650 lithium-polymer batteries (2200mAh each) install into the handle to provide up to 12 hours of battery life.

Q: 8. Does it support Canon R5 or Sony A7R4?

A: According to Feiyu's website, software compatibility (meaning functionality when the camera is plugged into the gimbal via usb cable) between the AK4500 and the EOS R5/A7RIV hasn't been tested nor confirmed. As far as balancing goes, I don't see any problem with the AK4500 balancing either camera with a medium-sized lens. My advice would be to keep an eye out on Feiyu's website for an update to their firmware and compatibility list if you're keen on software support for either camera, but it should come eventually.

Q: 10. Does this gimbal have longer arms for adjustment compared to something like the ronin s? I have been able to run the c200 on a ronin s however I’m having issues with clearance (due to the EVF). I’m considering contacting canon in order to have the c200 evf removed but would rather find a gimbal with more clearance that I can use with counterbalance weights to position properly.

A: There is no single handed gimbal that will be able to properly handle the C200. You may be able to balance it, but you will never have full range of motion with the gimbal. You will need to look at dual handed options such as the Letus 35 Helix Jr with Standard Camera Plate. Helix Jr - https://bhpho.to/2MlMJAN Standard Camera Plate - https://bhpho.to/2rnsDyY
