Overview
The FeiyuTech AK4500 Kit is a 3-axis gimbal stabilizer that supports up to 10.4 lb / 4.6 kg 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 AK4500 also introduces the Remote Motion Control Kit, or “Magic Handle”. With the Magic Handle, the main gimbal operator can hold the crane, while a second operator controls the direction of the gimbal using the accelerometers inside. Also handy for remote applications, such as at the end of a crane. Various functions of the camera, such as Start/Stop and the Follow Focus can also be controlled via the knob.
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 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.
Multifunction “Magic Ring”
The high-precision magnetic knob can be assigned to provide 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 LCD screen during shooting, allowing for better framing and monitoring.
Manfrotto PL501 Compatible
The AK4000 is designed with a fixed mounting plate and comes with a quick release plate. The fixed mounting plate also supports the Manfrotto PL501 quick release plate for more flexible compatibility with tripods and other camera supports.
High-Precision Algorithms
The AK4500 features an M4 kernel MCU, 0.02° high-precision magnetic encoding sensor, and w5 generation control algorithm with correction speed of 2000x per second, all adding up to allow high-precision operation.
Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Dual Module Connection
The gimbal can be connected over Wi-Fi to compatible devices to control photo/video capture, focus, 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.

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 AK4000), as well as mounting it on various other supports.
