Beside all this, the G6 Plus is an exceptional gimbal in its own right. It s like one of Feiyu s industry-leading full-size gimbals but slimmed down. It feels solid, dense, and well-made in the hands, and the mechanics, electronics, and smartphone apps are advanced. And that s the whole point of the G6 Plus—quality and freedom of movement for compact cameras. In addition to all this, it supports Feiyu s extension poles via 1 4 -20 screw attachment to the bottom. The extensions are also solid and dense, and they provide even more control, letting you use the gimbal as a motor-stabilized, lightweight, handheld jib. Handheld motorized gimbals are among the most useful and revolutionary camera supports ever made; they re used in independent films, professional video production, press conferences, and nature films among some examples. Where before one couldn t easily stabilize a handheld camera, now one can get smooth, Hollywood-style shots and even have the freedom to experiment with different camera movements, as much as perform acrobatics with the camera (the extension pole makes all the difference with this).

Another key aspect of the G6 Plus is the ability to sync up with select cameras over the companion Feiyu ON Wi-Fi app and control focus and zoom using the rotation knob on the side of the gimbal. The knob is set to control zoom by default but can be quickly switched to control focus by pressing on it. Please see the list of compatible cameras in the Features section below. Camera synchronization also enables control of record start stop and photo capture via the other gimbal buttons. A second app is also provided, the Vicool Bluetooth app for various video capture features and parameter settings. Both apps are offered as free downloads for iOS and Android.
