The Feiyu AK4500 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer Essentials Kit is a compact 3-axis gimbal stabilizer kit that improves on its predecessor, the AK4000, by supporting up to 10.1 lb loads. It's designed with an angled motor arm so there's nothing blocking your camera screen, and it provides 360° pan, 230° tilt, and 360° roll motion.
The gimbal features a multifunction handwheel on the side and a touchscreen LCD smart panel integrated into the handle. The handwheel allows you to control the movement of the camera in select operational modes, including pan and tilt modes, and it also lets you digitally control focus and zoom with compatible cameras. Additionally, the handwheel provides external follow focus control if you add an optional, dedicated follow focus motor. Please visit the Feiyu website for a list of compatible cameras for standard operation as well as Wi-Fi focus/zoom control.
The touchscreen LCD, the joystick, and the handwheel work together to let you assign and adjust all the settings of the gimbal. The gimbal also includes the companion Feiyu ON iOS/Android app (free download) that lets you adjust settings and perform various actions remotely.
The gimbal's camera baseplate is compatible with Manfrotto or Arca-Swiss style plates for a variety of mounting options. A detachable handle supplied with the AK4500 can be attached to the gimbal handle so you can comfortably hold the gimbal with both hands for select types of shots such as low-angle. Or, you can use the included mini tripod to set the gimbal down on a flat surface.

Compatibility
Please see the Feiyu website for a full list of compatible cameras.
Multifunction Handwheel
High-precision magnetic induction knob allows control of focus, zoom, and camera movement in select operation modes of the gimbal, including pan and tilt modes.
Touchscreen LCD Smart Panel
Low-power LCD touch panel, in combination with the joystick and handwheel, allows for easy adjustment of all the gimbal's settings. It slides left/right to display different setting options.
Angled Motor Arm
A beveled angle design prevents obstruction of the camera screen during shooting, allowing for better framing and monitoring.
Manfrotto PL501 and Arca-Swiss Compatible
The AK4500 is designed with a fixed mounting plate and comes with a quick release plate. The fixed mounting plate also supports the Manfrotto or an Arca-Swiss style quick release plate for more flexible compatibility with tripods and other camera supports.

The gimbal can be connected over Wi-Fi to compatible devices to control photo/video capture, focus (with separately available follow focus motor), zoom, sensitivity adjustment, white balance, and exposure value, as well as to switch modes. At the same time, the included Feiyu ON iOS/Android app can connect to your camera via Bluetooth to set up various other parameters.
12-Hour Battery Life
Four included 18650 lithium-polymer batteries (2200mAh each) install into the handle to provide up to 12 hours of battery life.
Pan Mode

Autorotation Mode

1/4"-20 Mounting Holes
A 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole on the bottom of the handle allows extending the length of the gimbal with an extension rod (included with the AK4500), as well as mounting it on various other supports. The gimbal also offers 1/4"-20 threaded holes in the following locations for attaching accessories: on the top of the sliding arm of the tilt axis, behind the tilt motor, at the front of the fixed plate, and on the pan motor.

What’s the difference between this one and the other listing for approximately 150 more.? Is it the upper arm control?
The AK4500 Standard kit (SKU: FEAK4500STD) comes with everything the AK4500 Essentials kit provides (SKU: FEFYAK4500ES), plus the AK4500 Standard Kit also comes with a follow focus motor (for manual focus lenses or lenses not compatible with electronic focus), and a secondary remote controller, the Feiyu Hyperlink Remote Control (SKU: FEA062), which can control the gimbal from a secondary handle or even wirelessly!

What lenses are compatible with this system?
This system has a 10.1 lb load capacity. That will allow you to use a large assortment of lenses. The only issues may be with very long telephoto or cinema lenses which may be too long to properly balance.

The Feiyu AK4500 will balance the Lumix G9 II so it can be used with the Feiyu AK4500. The gimble should also control your camera via Wi-Fi, as well. However, Only the Panasonic Lumix G9 is listed though, and the G9II has not been tested by Feiyu.

Yes, the Canon R7 will balance and could be used with the Feiyu AK4500 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer Essentials Kit. However, the R7 has not been tested for control by Feiyu. We recommend the DJI RS3 Gimbal which will support the the Canon R7 with camera control.

Can a Sony FS5 be balanced and operated on this gimbal with the camera’s top handle still attached? How about also with the side grip?
This gimbal is geared more towards DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras. However it does have a 10 pound load capacity. It should be able to balance the FS5 on it, however you will more than likely need to have the top handle and side handle off and you will be limited to the range of motion with the gimbal. Single handed gimbals like this can work with a camera like the FS5, but you will not get the full performance from the gimbal.
