The Feiyu G4 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal allows you to capture stabilized, free-floating shots with your GoPro HERO4, HERO3+, or HERO3 camera. It is held and operated using a single hand and features four different operating modes for increased creative possibilities. You can choose to lock the camera in place along all three axes (pan, tilt, and roll), or select modes where the camera will smoothly follow as you pan and tilt the handle. Switching between modes is done using a single LED push-button on the handle, which flashes to indicate the mode selected.

The G4 is designed for one-handed operation and features a design that hides all wires, resulting is a cleaner and sleeker look. Two sets of screws for the camera mount are provided: a shorter set for securing just the GoPro, and a longer set to accommodate a GoPro with an attached LCD Touch BacPac. The back of the camera mount maintains open access to the camera's power and video ports and lets you view the built-in LCD on the HERO4 Silver or the LCD Touch BacPac. The G4 is powered using two rechargeable 900mAh batteries, which slot into the handle. A battery indicator light on the device lets you know when it's time to recharge the batteries using the included charger.

Note: Firmware update software is only available for Windows.

question

Is the G4 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal compatible with the hero 5 ??
Asked by: Jean-Sebastien B.
From all indications we see so far, (no confirmation yet) the GoPro 5 is compatible with the GoPro 4 mounts. We would say that re-balancing the gimbal will be necessary.

question

Can this item be used with a Ribcage Air modified GoPro with a Entaniya 280 (or similarly weighted) lens?
Asked by: Jesse B.
There is zero latitude in the height as the mounting screws are touching the frame of the camera, and just a millimeter or two of give in thickness unless you get longer screws, which won't be easy to find. As far as a heavier lens, this thing is balanced beautifully for the GoPro. Adding an extended lens will probably throw the sensors off. I wouldn't recommend it. There are other units that mount to the screw hole mount on the bottom, they will probably be a better choice. For a standard GoPro, these are the best though.

question

Will this mount on the GoPro harness for dogs?
Asked by: David
The Gimbal is made for hand held and does not have the connections for the harness. Although with a little duck tape and some imagination it could be possible to attach the Gimbal in the harness
