Pretty awesome price and definitely the lowest around… after comparing Ebay, Aliexpress, etc.
This price is with a $5 coupon I found, plus cashrewards 0.7%.
I saw the recent deal for the Zhiyun Crane M for $300 at Ted's Camera but I cancelled my order after comparing the two devices.
FYI last year I bought and sold a Zhiyun Crane v1 so I know a bit about these. The first bullet point below is a big deal for me.
Feiyu A1000 benefits:
- The 45-degree elevation design at rolling axis of A1000 ensure the viewfinder screen will not be covered by rolling axis.
- Comes with the Sony camera control cable worth $30 that didn't come with my Crane.
- Firmware has been updated so it can handle a 1.7kg load - also huge when compared to Crane M which as far as I can tell is still just 650 grams. Really no need for the larger Crane or A2000 anymore unless you are using massive lenses.
- It may or may not come with a small tripod, however it's not good enough, if you want a more stable desktop tripod that can hold the gimbal and camera, I just bought this one and did a heap of research: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Andoer-MT-01-Portable-Alumin…
Control cable let's you do Hyperlapse like this awesome work: https://www.matjoez.com/2017/11/29/gimbal-hyperlapse-tutoria…
First time shopping with eGlobal for me, so fingers crossed.
These guys just start a 5% off sitewide 30 minutes after I order this thing. FML!
