FeiyuTech AK4000 DSLR Camera Stabilizer Gimbal

Description

The Feiyu AK4000 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer offers a payload of 8.8 lb and is designed with several advanced and distinctive features. It has a handwheel on the side that allows you to control the movement of the camera in select operation modes of the gimbal, such as pan and tilt modes. The handwheel also lets you digitally control focus and zoom with compatible cameras (see below). Additionally, the handwheel controls the optional motorized follow focus accessory supported by the gimbal. The AK4000 provides 360° pan, 230° tilt, and 360° roll motion.

 

Another outstanding feature is a touchscreen LCD smart panel integrated on the handle. The display, the joystick, and the handwheel work together to let you assign and adjust all the settings of the gimbal. The AK4000 also has an angled motor arm so there’s nothing blocking your camera’s screen for framing and monitoring. The gimbal also includes the companion Feiyu ON iOS/Android app (free download) that lets you adjust settings and perform various actions remotely.

 

An extension rod supplied with the AK4000 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.
