Maybe this is your enlightenment tool to shoot a large piece - Feiyu SPG-C phone stabilizer out of the box evaluation

Some time ago I purchased a photographic slide, and for some reason I took the phone and shot a video.

The shooting effect is very good. This time I had a reason to pick up the mobile phone stabilizer. When Dajiang just launched Osmo, it was really amazing, but the price was relatively big, and it was used as a tool for shooting. Steady work will be handed over to Yuntai, the mobile phone is responsible for shooting more practical.

Looked at all commercially available mobile phone stabilizers, smooth Q cost-effective, but the material is plastic, the function is shrinking, just ready to order, found Feiyu new SPG-C listed, made of aluminum alloy metal, More in line with my intention, then place an order.

This period of time is estimated to have caught up with the peak period of major new technology companies launching new products. Dajiang has also launched in the shadow of the 2nd generation. After touching on DJI, it has been very impressed with its stability and carrying capacity. Some time.

For example, a generation of professionals can use it. If there is a shooting plan for the eight children in the future, Panasonic's video micro-single series will be a better choice.

Out of the box

Packaging is square, using extraction design, white color is the style of mainstream technology products.

Rigid sponges have good wrapping and cushioning and can protect the body.

The handle, battery, charging cable, weight module, and main body of the PTZ are not difficult to combine. The weight module is adjusted according to the specific weight of the mobile phone, providing a light weight, two weights, most of the current mobile phones are more than 5 inches, in fact, these two weights are used, my iPhone 6S with shell, You need to reconfigure separate modules to adjust the balance.

A 3000MAH 22650 lithium battery provides all the power of mobile phone PTZ, life is considerable.

After the fit, this is long.

From top to bottom are the four-way rocker, switch/function button, and Bluetooth shooting button. The LED light is on the top to provide the current status.

The four-way joystick controls the pan tilt and rotation functions, and the switch/function buttons realize various operations such as following and resetting of the pan-tilt through different combinations.

The Bluetooth capture button requires a connection to the phone for the first time, and no connection to the phone is required after that.

Support USB direct charge, this seems to be the standard mobile phone PTZ, after all, in case of no electricity, mobile power is more convenient, but to point out that the USB interface does not seem to support 2A high current direct charge, Recommended 1-1.5A is appropriate.

The button on the back is a digital push-pull zoom for a mobile phone with a four-way joystick. This allows you to easily achieve a professional lens.

The grip handle is covered with soft rubber and feels good, but it is easily contaminated with fingerprints. At the bottom there is a universal threaded connection that allows easy access to extensions and tripods for special applications.

The SPG-C side also has a universal thread interface. The specific use depends on your imagination.

Of course, the fixed mode of mobile phones still belongs to the traditional category. Whether it is Dajiang or other brands, it is fixed by fixtures and soft rubber. The disadvantage is that it is slightly inconvenient to take adjustments.

Control:

First of all, we must first balance the head, compared with the Feiyu SPG stepless weight model, SPG-C need to manually adjust the position, try to maintain a balanced position of the phone and the counterweight, so that the burden on the motor is relatively small, life will be greatly enhanced.

After the trim is open, it is enabled.

There are four main modes of function keys:

1. Click. At this time, turning on the heading following mode can be understood as that the PTZ will only follow your initial direction and will not follow your movements. It is suitable for shooting single-direction sports scenes.

Heading following mode video scene:

It can be seen that no matter how the PTZ is moved, the camera lens will always maintain a fixed angle without change.

2. Double-click to turn on the heading and pitching following mode. At this moment, the PTZ will follow your body's steering direction, which is suitable for various directions.

Heading and pitching following mode video scenes:

It can be seen that the gimbal will adjust its direction with the direction of your body's steering and the angle of the handheld gimbal.

3, three strikes, at this moment the head will rotate 180 degrees quickly, suitable for use under specific circumstances.

4, four hits, at this moment the head will reset, return to the initial state.

Tilt to less than 30 degrees, click the function key, the head will adjust to the vertical angle.

Leaning left and tilting right will produce two different vertical angles:

The right hand phone is inverted.

Left is normal posture.

Turn on Bluetooth to connect to the phone, you can enable the camera button, this button in the phone comes with the camera can also achieve Bluetooth camera function.

How about stability, I edited two corresponding videos, which include various common scenes such as walking, running, and climbing stairs.

APP articles

Feiyu SPG-C PTZ settings, many interesting features are implemented through the Feiyu ON this APP, such as delay and panorama, face tracking, push-pull function is also required to cooperate with Feiyu ON, and the other under the APP to shoot photos Sharpening and increasing the contrast saturation process, the color is more pleasing.

PTZ settings:

Open the APP and select the corresponding model to connect to the PTZ.

After selecting the corresponding device, APP will automatically read the parameters.

In the PTZ setup, you can set the motor speed, following settings, and joysticks.

The default motor strength is medium, and it is not recommended to set the force to maximum.

The following setting is mainly the dead angle and the following speed. The default following axis is at a relatively low value and the speed can be adjusted properly.

The camera settings are mainly simple resolution and frame rate, the exposure and white balance can be adjusted in the shooting interface.

panoramic:

The principle of this function is simple, but the hand-held platform is much more stable than the handheld, and the effect is naturally stronger.

Press the Bluetooth camera button, push the four-way joystick to the left or right according to the prompt, and press the camera button every time you reach a point. The APP will calculate and generate the panorama.

Digital zoom zoom:

I think this can be done under commercial conditions. First, the speed of advancement is relatively fast. Professional push-pull lenses are generally slowly advancing. If the post-application is improved, the rate of adding digital zooming and zooming should be better, and the second is the cooperation of the buttons. Rocker, use other slightly inconvenient.

Delay

The principle of time-lapse photography is very simple, iPhone's own camera can shoot time-lapse photography.

It is recommended to find a reliance when holding a hand, such as a railing, shooting time is more than 3 minutes, a video delay of more than 10 seconds will amplify the jitter offset, the first video is not so powerful because of relying on the railing, the second is purely floating. Shooting for 3 minutes, it's great to hold this delayed video.

Face tracking

Switch to the front camera, click on the face button, you can display a red box, and automatically adjust the pan-tilt head to keep track of people's faces, here I suggest to hit the next four function keys, switch to the initial state, mode 2 and mode 1 Does not apply to the current state.

Tracking accuracy is fine, except that occasional deviations will occur, but will soon return to normal. Evaluation summary

The year 2017 should be the year when the three-axis mobile phone heads and clouds broke out. From photos to videos, the grassroots' interests are always shifting. The SPG-C is an entry-level mobile phone platform with less than a few digits and a thousand-dollar entry price. It can fully satisfy conventional gameplay, such as delay, panorama, and face tracking, and can be used with various types of video clips. For short films, like this:

From the point of view of video shooting, stability can be evaluated as a good one, but for the first time contacted consumers, it will take time to adapt to the control mode.

The endurance depends on your balance of the mobile phone. After the trim I play for a whole day and still have electricity. The official data is 7 hours, and there is no virtual target. You can use the charging treasure to charge this point is very practical.

Intelligent recognition status, manual switching is more suitable for self-portraits and live broadcast, net red should quite like this feature.

The use of metal materials means that the weight has also increased. From this point of view, plastics and metals have their advantages. I prefer the feel and durability of the metal. I was trained to have a pair of iron hands. This weight can't help me.

Fixing fixtures is very troublesome. This is a common problem for all current three-axis mobile phones. Dajiang is no exception. It is temporarily unsolvable.

Manual trimming is a little troublesome, after all the price is set here, and the requirements cannot be too much.

Occasionally, APP will flash back, but it does not matter.

At the end of the evaluation, I was Ruslan, a senior photography enthusiast focusing on still life shooting and evaluating players.
