Nowadays, the pixels of mobile phones, sports cameras, etc. are getting higher and higher, and the quality of photography and video recording is getting better and better. At the same time, the trend of portability and thinness of digital products is more obvious. The poor stability brought by portability and the improvement of shooting quality also become a contradiction. In this case, the handheld stabilizer came into being.

Feiyu Technology is a professional R&D and production brand of stabilized gyroscopes, and its stabilizer has always had a good reputation in the industry. At the end of last year, Feiyu launched the SPG three-axis handheld stabilizer, which provides strong support for portable digital products to shoot stable pictures. Next, let's get to know this new "unicorn arm".

hit Unpacking, Feiyu SPG is fixed in white foam and equipped with a very professional storage bag. The small volume of the stabilizer, with three-axis rotation and balance, is a relatively precise electromechanical equipment, and necessary protection is very necessary.

Open the protective cover, Feiyu SPG came into view. The metallic luster of tungsten steel reflects the professionalism of the equipment.

by More intuitive display of Feiyu Each part of SPG, I fixed it on a tripod. The tripod is an old product 30 years ago, but we see that in the field of photography, the standardization of product interfaces has been very good, and the interfaces can still be matched and connected. Feiyu SPG has a standard screw hole interface next to the horizontal axis, which can be directly fixed on the pan tilt of various tripods. Since the fixed interface of the Feiyu stabilizer uses standard screws, it is also convenient for us to fix it on bicycles, UAVs and other sports machinery equipment to meet the shooting needs of different scenes.  

Feiyu The SPG three-axis stabilizer, as its name implies, can realize the rotation of the horizontal axis, the vertical axis and the front and rear axis, so as to achieve a 360 degree camera shooting motion track without dead angle and meet the needs of different shooting creativity. The three axes are the x, y and z axes in our solid geometry. Of course, in reality, Feiyu is called the cruise axis, pitch axis and roll axis.

The above figure shows the rotation module of pitch axis, with fy Of logo , which is directly connected to the fixed device of the digital product, and its own mass is the counterweight of the camera's automatic balance, similar to the weight of a balance. This axis can two hundred and seventy Degree of rotation, but not cyclic rotation.

The horizontal axis is located behind the horizontal axis, which is mainly used for the ninety Degree (horizontal and vertical) rotation. At the same time, the shaft is also an adjustment device for automatic balance, similar to the center point of the balance. The counterweight can be balanced by moving the sliding bar. After the counterweight is balanced, the sliding rod is locked by rotating the knob. In order to improve the fixation strength, the knob adopts a grain texture to increase the friction force of the knob fixation.

The horizontal axis is connected with the control lever of the stabilizer, which is mainly responsible for three hundred and sixty No dead angle rotation.

The fixation frame of the shooting equipment is similar to many mobile phone supports. It is fixed by means of a retractable spring. The internal measurement is rubber pad, which plays a role of anti-skid and protection. Feiyu is also equipped with two rubber pads to meet the fixed needs of small volume cameras. If you use a sports camera, you can also fix it more firmly by means of screws.

For current mobile phones, the size is basically four point seven Therefore, it can be easily fixed to the stabilizer.

For horizontal balance, by adjusting the crossbar, gravity can be used to roughly level.

After opening the stabilizer, the stabilizer will automatically correct and use the motor to adjust to ensure a more accurate horizontal state.

The control of the stabilizer is also very simple, reflecting the concept of standardization. As a photography enthusiast, you can easily start. On the top is a working status indicator, and a button style joystick controls the direction keys. The bottom is the open key, and the bottom is the shutter key.

This design can be said to be the most humanized design, ensuring that the operator can complete all operations with one hand and one thumb. In the specific experience, I feel that the push rocker controller is not as good as thinkpad The little red hat on it is easy to use. It is suggested that Feiyu may change the push rocker controller to a "bump" rocker.

Like most professional equipment, Feiyu SPG It is not only very low-key and restrained, highlighting stability and durability, but also very compact, reflecting the refinement and simplicity of industrial design. On the upper part of the control lever is the screw interface perpendicular to the control lever, and the brand is marked with rubber material on the lower part logo . On one side micro USB Interface for charging. It also has a rubber plug to prevent splashing and dust.

The control lever of the stabilizer is coated with frosted material to make it more comfortable. Matte tones are more compelling.

The bottom is a standard screw hole interface in the vertical direction, which can be fixed on the PTZ or connected to other extension rods to achieve more creative photography.

The control lever is hollow in design, and the middle is just the battery compartment, which uses one twenty-two thousand six hundred and fifty Of three thousand Milliampere battery. Official publicity can reach eight It should be said that the endurance of 24 hours is quite powerful.

Feiyu SPG The three-axis stabilizer also has a built-in Bluetooth module, which supports the connection of Bluetooth and mobile phone terminal equipment to achieve control APP Realize preset and control of stabilizer parameters. get into App , after selecting PTZ and connecting with Bluetooth, the main interface will be displayed. The main interface is very intuitive. The bottom is set with six common states of stabilizer operation, while the top is a joystick control button similar to the joystick, which can control the stabilizer.

In the parameter setting, you can preset the force of motor operation, match the appropriate force according to the weight of different shooting equipment, match the following setting mainly according to the speed of the photographer's movement, and preset the pan tilt rocker according to the user's operating habits. Through this series of settings, users can get the sensitivity, control habits and stability they want, and carry out more creative shooting operations.

Next, let's try Feiyu in video mode SPG Control effect of three-axis stabilizer.

(Video one , chicken head effect of stabilizer)

Feiyu SPG The three-axis stabilizer achieves an adaptive balance effect through the coordinated movement of three axes, which we vividly call "chicken head" movement. That is, no matter how you shake the joystick, the lens always remains horizontal and stable.

(Video two , the working state of stabilizer's roll axis and pitch axis)

We can see that the flexible change of the lens can be achieved through the cooperation of the two axes. Can be realized 360° Unlimited rotation, easy to follow, fixed, cruise, axis shift and other creative shooting modes.

Next, let's show two live video effects.

(Liuxian Lake)

After a spring snow, the park is dotted with snow, wild ducks swim on the lake, arch bridges are reflected, blue waves ripple, buildings stand, and walk along the potholed revetment of the lake. The camera under the control of the stabilizer is very stable. Even when walking on the stone steps in the bushes, they are still unaffected.

(Yushi Street)

At the weekend, I took the time to come to a stone street, an ancient village with a history of hundreds of years. Streets and alleys are paved with huge stones. The shops and houses on both sides are already very depressed. The reconstruction of the surrounding old villages is in progress, gradually eroding the ancient streets and houses. In contrast, it shows the vicissitudes of history. When you walk on it, you will naturally have a deep foot and a shallow foot. But the shooting effect is still good. Borrow Feiyu SPG The three-axis stabilizer, which leaves a reflection of the old street, is also very meaningful.

Summary: Feiyu SPG The three-axis stabilizer is definitely not a toy like a selfie stick, but a very professional and reliable image auxiliary equipment, which can be widely used in professional film and television creation. With the improvement of the performance of digital products, the demand of the public for taking high-quality videos and photos is increasing. Ordinary consumers use professional Feiyu SPG The three-axis stabilizer can provide a perfect solution. Even if consumer grade digital products are used, they can also produce broadcast grade and professional grade effects, retain good times and add more happiness and excitement to life. Feiyu SPG The three-axis stabilizer can be widely used in tourism, various parties, and cultural activities. With such a powerful "unicorn arm", we can really roll up our sleeves and cheer up!
