Feiyu SPG Plus Stabilizer Unboxing & Hands-on Review

Feiyu SPG Plus, is a 3-axis mobile phone stabilizer, which is designemaking it look more professional. Occasionally, I saw a GoPro video, of which the photographer used for shooting is just the Feiyu SPG Plus handheld gimbal device. It should be used to enhance the shooting stability. Well, here I'll show the SPG Plus unboing and hands-on review for you.

Feiyu SPG Plus Unboxing：Live for Professional Control 
Feiyu SPG Plus is bigger than I imagined. It is featured with a simple white carton packaging with international design style. Perhaps because of the shelves of the Apple Store, the front of package prominently marked it a product "for iPhone" , in fact, the size of the appropriate Android mobile phones are also fully available.

The back of the package provides a brief introduction for the functional characteristics of the components in English.

Open the package, this SPG Plus is surrounded by thick sponge sandwich, which can fully guarantee the safety of transport.

Except for the instructions, there is a warranty card, and optional accessory box including a micro-usb charging cable, cold boot and 1/4 screws and a 3000mAh 22650 lithium battery.

This Feiyu FY SPG Plus uses a two-handed grip, which can minimize the impact of the body's shaking when shooting. The main body uses metal materials, which feels a little heavy when holding on hand. Silicone grip makes it very comfortable to hold together, even if with sweat hands, it will not slip off.

The 3-axis motors are the core components of the stabilizer, with built-in algorithm to achieve a balanced and stable effect. The SPG Pluspanning angle supports 360 ° rotation, and titling angle supports 320 ° rotation. The gold ring of this three-axis motors also adds a trace of smart for the dull black metal.

SPG Plus does not use the traditional counterweight components, instead of a balance fixed knob at the rolling axis, to adjust the position of the cross arm with the slide, to achieve gravity adjustment of the horizontal direction, so that it can adapt for a variety of sizes, different weights of mobile phones and sports cameras.

Fixture part adopts a different layer design, both built in spring at the upper and lower parts, which can be stretched, and can fit the width between 55mm to 83mm, the as well as 110-200g weight mobile phones. Once matched with some other third-party fixture, it is also suitable for GoPro Action camera.

Feiyu SPG Plus control area is set at the right hand of grip, buttons and four-way joystick layout is reasonable, you can complete the control operation through the thumb. The upper indicator is used to indicate various status information.

Right hand grip silicone part can be unscrewed, which is the SPG Plus battery compartment, which is claimed a 22650 lithium battery, to achieve 8 hours of battery life.

The inside of the control area is equipped with a micro-usb charging port with a dust plug, which can be easily powered by a mobile power supply when you are out.

Except for the dual hands holding, one highlight of the SPG Plus is there are 5pcs 1/4 screw holes at the top beams and the bottom of the handle, making it a wealth of accessories expansion capabilities. For example, the bottom of the two screw holes can be used to place the mini-tripod, and the top of the screw hole at both ends with the cold boot can be inserted LED lights to fill the light, the middle of the screw hole can be placed to enhance the effect of radio and so on.

That's all for the Feiyu SPG Plus unboxing introductionis. In fact, there are two single-handedly holding products for the SPG series -- Feiyu SPG and Feiyu SPG Live, and the SPG Plus is a high-end professional position, although there is a certain degree of sacrifice for the portability, it has a higher stability and greater scalability, and more suitable for those who have professional demands.

Feiyu SPG Plus Hands-on review: An immediate change
Before start the stabilizer, we need to place the phone well and adjust the balance of its weight. I use a iPhone7 Plus for review, SPG Plusfixture spring strength is great, it spends some effort to open, which is to ensure the firmness of the clip, after the iPhone 7+ put up, it jsut fits well, feeling as if it were designed specifically for it.

After placing well the phone, we will push the SPG Plus upside down, manually release the balance button, slide the weight to find a stabilizing position that the phone can be stable. This process is very simple, and very easy to find the most suitable point, but some slightly thin of the bare outside cable.

Well, now we can hold with both hands, pick up SPG Plus, right thumb long press the function key until the indicator light turns green, SPG Plus will officially boot. At this time we open the phone camera APP, shaking your hands, and you will find the direction of the phone will always maintain a stable state, the shooting screen does not caused excessive jitter because of the shaking, instead of being in a smooth state of displacement.

If you are accustomed to using the mobile phone system pre-installed shooting APP, then we will recommend you to use the HID connection mode. After SPG Plus is turned on, turn on your phone and search for SPG Plus, and follow the prompts to complete the connection. The shutter button on the SPG Plus grip control area can perform the same control operation by keeping the phone's "volume" key to execute the shutter operation in the APP.

If you want to get a more professional control experience, you can choose the APP connection mode, you can download Feiyu official shooting APP "Feiyu ON". Open the phone Bluetooth running APP, the system will automatically search SPG Plus and complete the match, you can remove the manual pairing cumbersome.

"Feiyu ON" APP integrated the pictures and video functions in a body, click the SPG Plus shutter button to take pictures, and long press for video capture. In this APP, you can manually adjust the exposure, white balance, focus and other ment, and the model also adds the night mode, self-timer mode, panoramic mode, intelligent follow mode and so on.

In some scenes that require a fixed position, if you do not have a mini tripod, you can put the SPG Plus back, the top beam will play a stable stent role, but then the grip control area is not easy to use. Thanks to the Feiyu's another APP "FY Settings", we can still also remote control the SPG Plus stabilizer.

I believe that you have a very clear understanding of this Feiyu Tech stabilizer now. Whether for daily shooting or recording some life clips, if you want to quickly improve the quality of your shooting, using a stabilizer will be the most simple and efficient way, after all, a stable sense of the screen is a good film base.

For the new-entry or the main consideration of portability friends, I would recommend the one-hand holding of the the SPG and SPG Live stabilizers. But for those who have the professional equipment using experience and seek for a better sense of control, you must try this Feiyu SPG Plus 3-Axis dual handheld gimbal stabilizer!
