If you’re thinking about a gimbal for your action camera, the Feiyu WG2X is worth a good, hard look. It’s a super-steady 3-axis gimbal that you can actually wear, thanks to its compact, low-profile design. Put it on your helmet, strap it to your shoulder or chest. However you wear it, it means your hands will be free to drive, ride, or help keep your balance. With 2.5 hours of battery life, you’ll have plenty of recording time. Compatible with various GoPro HERO models and other similarly shaped action cams, you’ll be ready to go in no time. And yes, you can mount it to a tripod, grip handle, or selfie stick to use it like a normal gimbal too.

Wearable 3-Axis Gimbal

FeiyuTech’s WG2X is a super-steady 3-axis gimbal that you can wear, keeping your hands free for the important stuff like steering your bike, car, stand-up paddleboard and more. It offers 360° pan and tilt movements, along with 70° of roll action so you can capture more of every adventure or just everyday fun.

GoPro HERO Action Camera Compatible

If you already have a GoPro HERO action camera, you’re in luck. The WG2X is compatible with a wide range of them; including the 4/5/6/7 editions and the Hero Session using an included mount. It also accommodates other similarly shaped action cams. Sony RX0 owners can grab a separately available mount adapter and join the fun too.

Newly Refined Design

The WG2X has been redesigned to offer some marked improvements over its predecessor. Most notably, you’ll notice the angled motor arm. This helps keep your camera’s LCD screen visible, while also giving the gimbal more room to do its thing. There’s also a new base and stabilisation algorithm to go along with the gimbal’s brushless motors, maintaining high-torque and steady control.

Advanced Movement and Modes

Feiyu’s WG2X of course has a range of different modes available to help you create your ideal video clips and scenes.

Panning Mode: Roll and tilt are fixed and the camera only moves left to right according to your own movements.

Follow Mode: Roll direction is fixed, but the camera follows your left, right, up, or down movements.

Lock Mode: Camera orientation is locked, like shooting with a grip handle.

Auto-Rotation Mode: Moves your camera at a constant rate of speed defined by you using the FeiyuON app. This mode can be used for regular video or time-lapse photos. It’s best used along with a tripod, though.

Manual Lock: Position the camera manually in Pan, Follow, or Lock modes. Pan and tilt axis can be manually set and saved for consistent shooting down the line.

Dual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connection Control

Dual connectivity gives you intuitive control over the WG2X gimbal and your camera. Using the WiFi connection lets you control your camera. Adjust focus, switch from photo to video mode, and more. With Bluetooth, you can control the gimbal modes and settings using the FeiyuON App. It’s easy to use and free to download, available for both Android and iOS smartphones.

Impressive Battery Life

With an impressive battery life of 2.5 hours, you’ll have plenty of time to capture adventures and outings of any kind. The battery is built into the slim gimbal and recharges via USB port in about 2 hours as well, so you can be ready to go again in no time.

Splash Resistant, Durable Design

Finishing off the Feiyu WG2X V2 gimbal is its durable, conveniently splash resistant design. This means you can use it rain or shine, but don’t go for a swim or you might not be happy… A standard 1/4-inch tripod thread on the base lets you attach a range of different support options, body mounts, and more. Finally, a gimbal that’s as versatile as you are.
