Feiyu Pocket vs Osmo Pocket vs FiMI Palm: Best handheld gimbals

Feiyu Pocket vs Osmo Pocket vs FiMI Palm gimbals

Priced for only $249, the just rumored Feiyu Pocket could be a good alternative for the expensive Osmo Pocket. In addition to the much more friendly price tag, it features a higher bit rate at 4K@60fps recording, a larger LCD, and built WiFi connectivity. Furthermore, Feiyu Pocket has a wider gimbal range (movement freedom) than its DJI contender. Feiyu-Tech’s handheld gimbal provides 360° POV all-follow mode and two basic follow modes, all at a max follow speed of 180°/s.

Feiyu Pocket: Price and availability

While the Feiyu Pocket gimbal was announced about two months ago, only now become available at most retailers. Now, you can order it from Banggood for $US 145.90 (51% off).

Bottom line

I hope I managed to give you an overview of what’s similar and different between these 3 handheld 4K gimbals. Unfortunately, for the moment, I had the chance to review only the Osmo Pocket, but the FIMI Palm is already on its way to me, and I also contacted Feiyu-Tech regarding the possibility of testing and evaluating their Feiyu Pocket gimbal.

  1. 飛宇Pocket是否有Wifi功能,在手機上可以控制得影像嗎?
    Does Feiyu Pocket have Wifi function and can I control images on my mobile phone?

    • feiyu-tech.com says ‘Connect APP with WIFI to get real-time footage preview and remote control’ so I assume that it has wifi connectivity!

  2. I have all three, Osmo Pocket, Fimi and Feiyu, it’s very close on usability and quality wise. currently there has been 4 fimi firmware update and 2 feiyu pocket updates, so that means they are making it better. I also discovered Feiyu can be used as webcam

    If I have to choose, I would probably say Fimi or Feiyu as Osmo is a bit pricey. (Feiyu is now $249 while Fimi is $199 or $210)

    • there is no internal memory, you will need and micro SD card to capture your footage. Due to the high bit rate and 4K@60ps resolution you will need a high speed one (class 10 U3)

  3. Do you know when the Feiyu Pocket will be truly available for orders? i don’t want to pay for a product now, and received it for Christmas…

  4. ordered mine, firstly I wanted a osmo pocket, but picked a Feiyu. It offers about same for less. They on the ginbal market for a while and their stabilizers proved over the time. I will use it mainly for travelling and vlogging

  5. Feiyu Pocket Gimbal seems to be the best option. It is just a bit more expensive that the FIMI Palm but it has 4K@60FPS!!!!!
