In the past two years, mobile phone camera technology has developed by leaps and bounds. Ten million level pixel cameras have become the standard configuration of smart phones. Mobile phones have also added professional sensors, including gravity sensors, gyroscopes, and so on. To a certain extent, mobile phones have replaced digital cameras and become the most frequently used shooting equipment in people's daily life. However, it is undeniable that although a variety of sensors have been added and various manufacturers have constantly improved their shooting algorithms, the level of mobile phones in shooting video is much weaker than that of excellent photography functions. The most difficult thing to overcome is that the shaking of hands during the shooting process makes it impossible to capture stable images, especially for shooting moving objects, The shaking video screen greatly reduces the interest in shooting.

However, users can't stop their pursuit of video shooting. Whether it's releasing children's play video through social media or shooting a beautiful video for outing, or even a live video broadcast from outside at any time, professional cameras are expensive and generally large, which is obviously not suitable for ordinary people, But why should we give up the pursuit of good things? The answer is obviously no, the handheld stabilizer has always played an important role, but due to the high price of professional equipment, most people are far away from it. With the continuous improvement of industrial manufacturing and design level, the handheld stabilizer has also become grounded. The product that the author takes you to experience this time is the SPG three-axis stabilizer from Feiyu, which costs less than 2000 yuan.

The product is packaged with environment-friendly paper, the overall color of the package is white, the design is very simple, and the appearance style of the product is on the right side of the package. On the left is the product introduction in full English. Although the word "for iPhone" on the outer package is very conspicuous, it is found in the later experience that the Android version has more functions, so Android users do not have to worry about the usability. On the back, the three-axis state of SPG is clearly described with a diagram.

It should be said that the most surprising thing for the author is that the product provides a storage bag for the stabilizer, which is convenient for users to carry out while playing a good role in protection.

Compared with mobile phones and other commonly used digital devices, the SPG stabilizer needs to read the operating instructions carefully before starting to avoid scratches or damage to the stabilizer.

SPG uses 22650 lithium battery for power supply, with a capacity of up to 3000mAh and a life time of up to eight hours, which can fully meet the needs of users to shoot videos when they go out to play.

When I first contacted Feiyu SPG, my first impression was that this stabilizer was very small and delicate, and I even had the first impression that it was like an upgraded version of Bluetooth self timer, because of its small size, light weight, and more convenient to carry and use in daily life.

The SPG design is mainly divided into two parts, the upper part is the three-axis of the stabilizer and the phone clamping part.

The SPG logo is screen printed on the upper side of the top mobile phone clamp, and the design of anti-skid rubber pad is adopted on the inner side of the clamp, which can protect the mobile phone shell and shock absorption in addition to effective anti-skid.

The mobile phone clamp adopts a double side stretching design, which makes it very easy to install mobile phones of different sizes. Its force is quite strong, and it can only be opened with a slight force, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the mobile phone clamping.

Although SPG is designed as a mobile phone stabilizer, it can clamp the sports camera through the two complimentary sponge pads. Although it is only a small accessory, it increases the use range of SPG. Feiyu is indeed a professional stabilizer manufacturer, and it should be said that it is very considerate.

The key part of the stabilizer is designed in the middle, which is just the part that can be easily controlled after being held by the hand. SPG is designed with two buttons. The part marked in red is the Bluetooth control button, which acts as a Bluetooth shutter, similar to the ordinary Bluetooth self timer. The four-dimensional direction key designed like a rocker is used at the top, which is very sensitive to control, while the key in the middle is the power and function reuse key, which realizes different functions by long press, short press, and click. Above the arrow keys are LED status indicators, which indicate different working states by observing the color and flashing frequency of the indicators.

On the back of the button is the manufacturer logo of Feiyu. A 1/4-inch standard screw hole is provided on the upper back side for users to access tripod and other accessories.

The SPG adopts the built-in charging mode, and the charging interface is the most commonly used MicroUSB mode at present. The design of built-in charging makes the SPG charging more simple, so that you can go out to play, and even take the power bank to achieve the SPG's endurance.

The lower side of Feiyu SPG is a handle. In order to grip comfortably, a silicone sleeve is added, which can effectively increase the friction, and you won't feel tired after using it for a long time.

The power supply part of the product is also designed here, which can be disassembled and put into the supporting battery.

In order to facilitate the daily use of users, the bottom position of Feiyu SPG provides the same standard 1/4 inch threaded hole as the back position. Users can match tripod or other accessories as required.

The SPG itself is fixed with hexagonal socket screws, which is more secure and beautiful.

The three axes of Feiyu SPG are roll axis, pitch axis and heading axis from top to bottom to achieve three-axis stability.

The rear of the roll axis and pitch axis are carved inside the logo of Feiyu. Feiyu SPG has excellent manufacturing technology, and the whole body is free of any burrs.

For the stabilizer, the most common accessory is the counterweight. For different shooting equipment, the counterweight is often needed to achieve balance. The biggest feature of Feiyu SPG is that it adopts the stepless counterweight mode, and realizes the adjustment of balance state by adjusting the sliding rail of the horizontal roller shaft and adjusting the horizontal arm.

Feiyu SPG stabilizer has four modes for users to choose. Switch between different working modes by clicking and double clicking the reuse key in the middle.

Heading follow mode, pitch and roll locking, and the direction of the axis rotates smoothly with the handheld direction. With this mode, videos can be fixed in the same direction for shooting, which should be the most widely used method in daily use.

Heading and pitching follow mode, roll locking, and heading and pitching rotate smoothly with the handheld rotation direction. This mode really needs practice, and is difficult for novices to control. If you want to get the best picture in this mode, you need more practice, but once you are proficient, you can get a very smooth and stable picture.

Vertical shot mode, which is very simple to operate, only needs to move the stabilizer left and right, and when the included angle between the pitch motor and the heading axis is less than 30 degrees, click the function key to switch. This mode is very suitable for walking or outdoor live broadcast.

In addition, it has the function of accurately rotating 180 degrees in the horizontal direction, which is more suitable for taking a round of people gathering or taking a panoramic shot.

After the Feiyu SPG stabilizer is added to the mobile phone, the video can be shot without any other means. The above two small videos are shot by using the capture function of the mobile phone after the Feiyu SPG stabilizer is used. Both are short videos of about 20s. The first few seconds of the two videos are shot by daily walking, while the middle part is shot by jogging, and the last part is shot by walking, From the overall shooting situation, after joining the Feiyu SPG, the anti shake effect is very good, especially when shooting during running. The camera does not use a stabilizer and uses a mobile phone to directly shoot. The shaking is basically unbearable. After using the Feiyu SPG, the shooting picture is stable. More shooting effects need further exploration by the author. After all, this is a product with high playability.

Feiyu SPG installs the mobile phone, and it is relatively easy to adjust the balance control. Through the key control of the SPG and the shooting function of the mobile phone, it can be used normally and complete the video shooting. But for more convenience, Feiyu provides an APP for users to use. Through the APP, it is very convenient to set Feiyu SPG and complete the setting of the SPG mode Follow mode and rocker control can realize relevant setting functions through APP. At the same time, functions such as face following can be set here.

This app is even more powerful in terms of camera settings, even surpassing the level of the original camera, so it is very powerful in both photographing and video shooting. However, due to the relatively large number of setting menus, if you are not particularly familiar with them, it is recommended to use the default mode. Of course, you can also try all kinds of scenes and color effects after you are familiar with them.

Summary

The camera pixels of mobile phones are getting higher and higher, which brings a lot of convenience for daily shooting. This can be seen from the fact that many women like to hold their mobile phones for live broadcast. However, the support of mobile phones for video shooting is obviously not strong, and the shaking of mobile phone videos is often unacceptable, The appearance of Feiyu SPG mobile phone PTZ stabilizer should be said to fulfill everyone's professional video dream. With this product, professional video effects can be shot even with mobile phones. The price of this product is less than 2000 yuan, which is a breeze for the expensive stabilizer market. Users who like to play live broadcast and video shooting can't miss it.
