Nowadays, the camera quality of smart phones is very high, and many people will also take motion pictures in addition to taking pictures. Different from still shooting, the shake caused by hand-held is unavoidable, and the shake will greatly affect the picture quality. The emergence of handheld PTZ has greatly changed this phenomenon. If you also love life, like taking selfies, and like recording all the good things in life, then you will like this Feiyu SPG three-axis mobile phone stabilizer below.

As an old brand manufacturer of handheld PTZ, Feiyu Technology has always been a strong player that can not be underestimated. Before the launch of Feiyu SPG, there were G4, WG, MGLite and other handheld PTZ, and Feiyu Technology is still one of the few Chinese brands to enter Apple Store.

NO.1 Simple unpacking

Simple white packaging, obvious international style, and high popularity of Feiyu Technology in foreign countries, this design also helps to enhance the brand image.

Different from other products compatible with WeChat, Feiyu SPG handheld PTZ is only suitable for iPhone 7 Plus/7/6s Plus/6s/6 Plus/6 SE/5c/5s/5 or other smart phones of similar size. Although the nominal iPhone series is compatible with most mobile phones in the market, there is no problem.

In addition to the battery and charging line, Feiyu SPG also provided a soft carrying bag, so that users would not have to worry about bumping and carrying problems on the way. Although the main use of mobile phones, considering that some users may use sports cameras, Feiyu SPG also provided two pieces of soft support cotton, so that sports cameras can also be used on Feiyu SPG.

NO.2 Appearance appreciation

The appearance of Feiyu SPG is simple and capable. The main material is metal, including the mobile phone fixing clip, the rotating arm and the three rotating steering gears are all metal. The sanded surface also ensures a good feel. The all metal handle is covered with soft rubber, so it will not be cold in winter.

In terms of control, Feiyu SPG has only three keys, namely, direction rocker, function key and Bluetooth shutter key. The simple key design is consistent with the overall style.

The mobile phone fixing fixture of Feiyu SPG is also all metal, which can be pulled apart at both ends, and the upper and lower ends are equipped with soft rubber anti-skid pads to protect the mobile phone. The clamping force of the fixture is large, which can firmly fix the mobile phone. It is a little pity that only two ends are equipped with rubber pads, but the other end is not, When installing, it is better to fix the phone and move it to the innermost position close to the pitch motor, so that it can be installed perfectly. This needs attention.

In addition to the keys on the handle, there is a Micro USB interface for charging. The Feiyu SPG battery is a 22650 rechargeable battery with a capacity of 3000mAh. The official data is the theoretical use of 8 hours, which is enough for an ordinary use day. There is also a 1/4-inch connector on one side of the charging interface, which is used for external tripod photography.

Since the stepless counterweight is used, it needs to be adjusted and balanced according to the weight of the mobile phone. The unlocking and unlocking marks of the stepless adjustment knob can be seen in the figure. The adjustment in this way is the most simple and fast, and is also suitable for most users who first contact the handheld PTZ.

The clamp of sister paper can be opened for demonstration, and the strength can be easily handled by sister paper.

The flat cable at the sliding cross arm position is exposed, which obviously strengthens the design of durability from the perspective of wire material, and there is no interference of pinch and pull in the actual use. After all, it is exposed flat cable. I'm still worried about the harsh outdoor environment, and I hope this design can be improved in the future.

No. 3 Use

When I add 3 to my mobile phone, the screen size is 5.5 inches. I actually feel that there is no pressure to install it, and there is still some margin. It is OK to visually inspect a larger mobile phone.

Feiyu SPG will not keep balance without power on. Before power on, you need to adjust the position of the sliding cross arm according to different mobile phones. The adjustment knob is very large, and the surface is also provided with anti slip treatment of knurled pattern, which can be basically applied with light force.

After installing the battery and mobile phone, Feiyu SPG still has some weight. Thanks to its simple design, it doesn't feel awkward on the whole, which is much more clever than Dajiang's OSMO.

The design of the keys is very ergonomic. When holding, the fingers will naturally rest on the keys. Feiyu SPG supports horizontal, vertical and follow shooting from various angles. Basically, you can meet all your needs. The unique course following and locking mode has face recognition function, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of task follow shooting. The Bluetooth shutter button allows you to take photos without leaving the lever. You just need to focus on the screen, and other Feiyu SPGs do it.

Feiyu SPG has four built-in shortcut operation modes, such as clicking the function key - heading follow/lock mode; Double click the function key - heading and pitch follow mode; Triple click function key - turn the lens 180 ° horizontally (as shown in the above figure); Restore the PTZ to its original position by four consecutive clicks on the function key - Reset mode. Once you are familiar with these modes, it will make your shooting more efficient.

The overall center of gravity of Feiyu SPG is well controlled, and even can stand alone without relying as shown in the figure. Of course, the author does not recommend this. After all, it is easy to damage the mobile phone and PTZ in case of a fall.

Here is a short video for simple demonstration:

Feiyu SPG also supports Feiyu's Feiyu ON APP. The author strongly recommends downloading it. This APP can not only adjust the camera shot, but also adjust the motor strength, following settings, pan tilt and horizontal calibration according to your own preferences. It also supports shooting modes, including flash mode, focus mode and color temperature, With its own scene recognition mode and color filter effect, it will also help to complete the shooting, which is generally very playable

NO.4 Shooting with a tripod

The Feiyu SPG body has two 1/4 inch screw ports, which can be connected to a standard tripod. It is suitable for those shooting occasions that require long exposure or long camera time. Especially when used in combination with face recognition, you will find that the mobile phone revolves around you like a long eye. It's a wonderful feeling.

The three keys of Feiyu SPG are designed to be convenient, comfortable to operate, and almost easy to use. There are LED indicators above the direction rocker to distinguish the working modes. Another feeling is that the heat control is very good. When Feiyu SPG is powered on, the servo motors of these three axes have been working all the time. They should always be adjusted according to the user's state, so the heating is inevitable. The body feeling is warm, not hot.

This is the 1/4 inch external screw port at the bottom, and there are threads on the inner wall of the handle, which means that you can even DIY a micro rocker arm with an extension rod.

Does Feiyu SPG feel cute when standing? The author strongly recommends taking this portable tripod out of travel, which is convenient for self recording or panoramic shooting.

The author likes to shoot night scenes at night. Everyone knows the importance of tripod when shooting night scenes, especially the slow shutter. Feiyu SPG can guarantee to hold the slow shutter for about 2 seconds, which can replace the tripod to some extent. It is difficult to hold it for a long time.

Compared with the daytime, night photography requires more stability. Like the slow shutter mentioned above, night video recording also needs to be very stable. Forget about the so-called electronic anti shake, and handheld stabilizing PTZ is the king.

The three-axis rotation speed of Feiyu SPG PTZ is considered as an agile player in the handheld PTZ. The action is simple and the response is fast. It is also competent for some high speed sports capture, and will also test the photographer's technology.

A comparison between a live show and mobile video recording:

From the above video, we can see that the quality of the video shot by Feiyu PTZ is very good, there is almost no jitter, and the capture of the characters is also very accurate. Look at the video shot by ordinary mobile phones, the picture shakes back and forth with the movement of the photographer, which is in sharp contrast with the video shot by Feiyu PTZ. There is no doubt about the role and performance of the handheld PTZ. The Feiyu SPG handheld PTZ is not only very stable in shooting, but also quick in motor movement, and also excellent in standby. Although there is only one battery, the 3000mAh battery is enough to meet the demand of a day, which is far better than the standby of the mobile phone. It is better to worry about the endurance of the mobile phone than worry about the PTZ. Therefore, the author has reason to believe that Feiyu SPG handheld PTZ will become an indispensable shooting artifact for self timer masters.
