Rank #10 in Best Gimbal Stabiliser 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Battery Claims That Don't Add Up
FeiyuTech SCORP 2 Kit Camera Gimbal, 2.5kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The FeiyuTech SCORP 2 Kit is the number 10 entry in this guide to gimbal stabilisers. It is a 3-axis gimbal for mirrorless and DSLR cameras, listed at £183.20 and rated 4.2 out of 5 from 155 ratings. The headline feature in the bullets is an integrated AI tracking module: you make an 'OK' gesture and the gimbal follows the subject, with no extra accessory to mount. The rest of the kit is a touchscreen, a new-generation L-shaped mounting plate with an anti-off quick-release slider for vertical shooting, and Bluetooth or cable control of the camera.
The number to look at here is not the payload. The bullet states a load capacity of up to 2,500 g, the product name calls it 5.51 lb, and the spec table's Maximum Weight Recommendation says 2.5 kg — three ways of writing the same limit, and they agree with each other. The figure that does not sit right is in the spec table itself, which lists a Screen Size of 10.23 inches. That is roughly 26 cm, on a device whose own bullet describes a handle shaped to fit snugly into the palm. Nothing else in the listing describes a screen of that size, so treat that field with suspicion.
Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the SCORP 2 Kit and from the reviews customers have left on it. We have not handled, tested or measured the gimbal ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“The media could not be loaded. The FeiyuTech SCORP 2 is more than just a refined version of SCORP C (Gen 1) which I had been using since 2022, the built in AI and the upgraded motors make this the perfect gimbal for solo video maker. The AI tracking is one of the best I have come across, accurate tracking means a lot less oops moments when camera is out of frame.The phone app is very easy to use and the graphic interface means you don't need to be a tech expert to use the more advance settings like time lapse and pre set A to B pan shorts. Setting up the camera on the mount is a bit fiddley but you only need to do it once, the quick mounting plate allows the camera to be off the gimbal and back on with just a click. There is also an extra bracket included for vertical mount for 9:16 phone video style for IG, FB and YT shorts videos.The motor is strong and it will handle up to 2.5kg load as long as it is well balanced, there is a list of compatible camera and lens for look up and even tho the motors are working to its limit I managed to mount my Canon EOS R with the 70-200L f4 long lens just to test out the gimbal and it works for slow action like walking and moving about which was a surprise.The carbon fiber extension is extremely light and it feels like part of the gimbal once screw into the base of the gimbal, with the included wide tripod base it is stable enough for low level shots. Battery lasted around 6-7 hours with my EOS R and moving around all the time, it can be used while plugged in for extended use. It takes less then 2 hours to charge with a PD phone charger, we always have full battery by using a PD power bank plugged in between shoots.The hand gesture is one of the function I used the most with the SCORP 2, it pick up hand signs instantly and the Double L shape gesture allows custom framing which is a massive time saving for "one man band" video maker like myself. Just make the Double L hand sign move to where you want to be in the frame and re active the AI tracking and it will track your movements but still keep you in the part of the frame you wanted. Spread Palm to start recording and then same hand gesture to stop, no more back and fort to the camera from my station hundreds of times between shots.Overall I am really happy with my purchase and I am happy with my upgrade from the SCORP C”
“Excellent quality Gimbal from FeiyuTech made from excellent materials.I am no expert when it comes to gimbals but I have used different gimbal brands in the past so I know the basics.The main feature about this gimbal is the AI tracking this is nothing new in gimbals but I will say this is the best I have personally used and the fact it is inbuilt no extra accessories is needed is a huge bonus. The AI tracking can be activated and stopped using hand gestures you do have to be in the frame and in range for the gestures to work obviously. It is very fast and smooth which is exactly what you want for you footage even when I have walked behind a tree it has detected me on the other side of the tree which is a very nice touch.Another feature I like are the markers what this means you can setup all the balancing perfect, set the markers and when done for the day pack it all away. Then the next time you use the gimbal as long as you are using the same camera & lens you can adjust the sliders to the markers and there is no need to rebalance from start this is a game changer for me why did it take so long for someone to think of this THANK YOU FeiyuTech.I also like the big wheel control on the front of the gimbal you can use this to adjust the tilt and at a press of another button you can switch this to control the panning and also rolls this makes it so muck quicker and simpler to control the gimbal.The display is a bit smaller than I would have liked it to be BUT it is bright and clear to read, FeiyuTech have made very good use of the screen size. And as you would expect these days it is touch screen.The gimbal stabilisation is very good and this is even without me doing the gimbal shuffle/walk another box ticked.My only grumble is with the battery life I am getting about six and a half hours of constant use BUT this is probably down to my skill level and balancing etc BUT currently for me personally this is more than enough time.Overall I am very happy with the gimbal and I would definitely recommend it.”

Questions people ask
What is in the box with the FeiyuTech SCORP 2 Kit?
The listing's Box Contents field says only 'Scorp 2 Kit'. The product name mentions a bag, but the box field itself lists no items.
Does the SCORP 2 Kit need a separate AI tracker module?
No. The first bullet says the AI tracking module is integrated and that intelligent shooting works 'without the need to install additional accessories'.
How much weight can the FeiyuTech SCORP 2 carry?
The bullet gives a load capacity of up to 2,500 g, the product name renders that as 5.51 lb, and the spec table's Maximum Weight Recommendation says 2.5 kg. The three figures describe the same limit.
How big is the screen on the SCORP 2?
The spec table lists Screen Size as 10.23 inches. On a handheld gimbal whose bullet describes a handle that fits snugly into the palm, that figure does not match the rest of the listing.
Can the SCORP 2 Kit be set up for vertical shooting?
Yes. The second bullet describes new-generation L-shaped mounting plates with an anti-off quick-release slider that can be installed directly on the vertical arm.
What does the listing say about battery life on the SCORP 2 Kit?
Nothing. There is no battery figure in the bullets or the spec table for this gimbal, so there is no number here to check against another.
