The company reports having more than 500 employees, with research and development, marketing, and manufacturing operations extending beyond Guilin to include Shenzhen and Zhongshan.[1]

2007–2012: Origins in drones and flight technology

Feiyutech originated from a background distinct from many traditional camera accessory manufacturers. Feiyu Technology was established in 2007 within the Guilin National High and New Tech Industry Park. Its early business focused on civilian drones and aeromodelling technology, including flight-control systems, balancing equipment, fixed-wing drones, and automation technology.[2] This foundation provided the company with expertise in gyroscopes, stabilization, motors, and flight-control systems, technologies that were later adapted for handheld camera stabilization.

2013: Move into camera gimbals

A significant turning point occurred in 2013 when Feiyutech recognized that stabilization technology developed for drones could be applied to handheld camera systems. The company developed the G3, a handheld gimbal designed for GoPro-type action cameras, enabling users to capture smoother footage during activities such as walking, running, and cycling.[2] This transition established the core business for which Feiyutech is known today.

2016: Action-camera gimbals

Building on the earlier G-series development, Feiyutech launched its first action-camera gimbal in 2016.[2] The company subsequently developed products compatible with cameras such as GoPro, helping to establish Feiyutech as an international brand in the action-camera stabilization market.

2017: Mirrorless and DSLR gimbals

In 2017, Feiyutech expanded beyond small action cameras into mirrorless and DSLR camera stabilization with the launch of its A-series camera gimbals.[2] This strategic move positioned the company within the broader filmmaking market rather than limiting it to the action camera niche.

2018: Smartphone and creator ecosystem

In 2018, Feiyutech introduced what it describes as the world’s first smartphone gimbal featuring an extension pole.[2] That same year, the company collaborated with Tencent WeSee on short-form music-video applications, reflecting the growing importance of smartphone video and social media content creation.[2]

2019: Vlogging

Feiyutech launched the Vlog Pocket in 2019, emphasizing portability for the expanding vlogging market. The company described it as one of the world’s smallest smartphone gimbals at the time of release.[2] This period marked a shift toward creating equipment specifically for social media creators, vloggers, and mobile filmmakers.

2020: Expansion beyond imaging

In 2020, Feiyutech completed new offices and workshops and entered the sports and personal care category through KiCA, launching its first massage gun product.[2] This diversified the company’s corporate activities beyond camera equipment.

2021: SCORP and new product categories

Feiyutech launched the SCORP series in 2021, which became a major professional camera gimbal family. The company also introduced what it describes as the world’s first detachable action-camera gimbal and expanded its KiCA product line.[2]

2022–2024: Creator-oriented product ecosystem

The company continued to expand its compact stabilization offerings, including the SCORP Mini family and additional smartphone and camera gimbals. New KiCA products were also introduced, including portable air devices and personal care items.[2]

2025–2026

According to the company’s corporate history, 2025 saw Feiyutech enter additional UAV-related areas with the TS heavy-duty transport UAV and F Series motor power system, while continuing to update its SCORP gimbal line. The KiCA Hair Dryer was also introduced.[2] For 2026, Feiyutech highlights the upcoming Feiyu Pocket 4.[2]

Camera gimbals

Camera gimbals remain central to the Feiyutech brand. These devices use motors, sensors, and control algorithms to counteract unwanted camera movement, allowing filmmakers to produce smoother footage while panning, tilting, or moving. The current professional lineup includes:

• SCORP 3
• SCORP-C2
• SCORP 2
• SCORP Mini 3 Pro
• SCORP Mini 3
• SCORP Mini 2

These are categorized primarily as gimbals for DSLR and mirrorless cameras.[1] The SCORP 3, for example, is marketed as a professional camera gimbal with a stated payload capacity of up to 7.7 lb.

Smartphone gimbals

Feiyutech maintains a long history in smartphone stabilization. Products include the Vimble family and newer compact models such as the SCORP Mini and VB4 series.[1][2] Typical features in this category include 3-axis mechanical stabilization, subject tracking, extension rods, foldable designs, Bluetooth/app control, horizontal/vertical shooting modes, and selfie/vlogging functions. Earlier models like the Vimble 2 incorporated extension rods for wider framing and additional angles.[2]

Stabilized pocket cameras

The Feiyu Pocket series combines a camera and mechanical gimbal into a single compact device, eliminating the need to attach a separate camera. Current models include:

• Feiyu Pocket 3
• Feiyu Pocket 2S
• Feiyu Pocket 2
• Feiyu Pocket
• Feiyu Pocket SE

The Pocket 3 is described as a portable gimbal camera capable of remote operation, while the Pocket 2 emphasizes a pocketable design.[2] This category places Feiyutech in competition with both conventional gimbal manufacturers and the broader pocket camera market.

Action-camera gimbals

Action cameras were historically a key product category for Feiyutech. The company developed gimbals for cameras such as GoPro, combining mechanical stabilization with the ruggedness of action cameras. Associated products include the G6, G5, and WG2/WG2X.[2] This segment reflects the company’s original drone-derived stabilization expertise.

Accessories and filmmaking equipment

Feiyutech has built an ecosystem around its gimbals. Current accessories include camera mounting systems, extension poles, carrying cases, follow-focus motors, rosette mounts, quick-release systems, magic arms, and phone-video rigs. The official online store lists dozens of products across camera, smartphone, stabilized camera, UAV, and other categories.

The core technology behind Feiyutech is electromechanical stabilization. A modern 3-axis gimbal typically operates through a chain of gyroscope and accelerometer inputs feeding into a control system, which drives brushless motors to stabilize the camera. Sensors detect unwanted rotational movement, and the control system instructs the motors to compensate. This enables smoother walking shots, controlled pans, stable tracking, low- and high-angle filming, vlogging, subject tracking, and cinematic movements.

The company’s historical connection to drones is relevant because drone flight-control systems and camera gimbals share fundamental technologies involving motion sensing, motor control, stabilization, and feedback systems. Feiyutech identifies this transition from drone technology to gimbals as a central part of its history.[2]

Feiyutech describes its philosophy using the phrases “Superior Quality” and “Creative Forever.” The broader brand philosophy centers on making sophisticated stabilization and filming technology accessible to creators. The company’s history emphasizes continuously moving beyond existing products rather than resting on past success. In practical terms, Feiyutech’s positioning focuses on technology that makes moving-camera filmmaking easier and more accessible.

Although Feiyutech is a Chinese company, it has developed a substantial international sales presence. The company states that its products are sold in more than 130 countries and that it has established an international brand presence.[1] Distribution channels include its own online store, Amazon, AliExpress, Alibaba, and regional retail partners.[2] Feiyutech also claims to have been the first gimbal brand to enter the Apple Store and highlights relationships with companies including Huawei and Tencent as part of its corporate history.[1]

Feiyutech’s corporate base is in Guilin, with additional R&D, marketing, and manufacturing capabilities in Shenzhen and Zhongshan.[2] Shenzhen serves as a major electronics and hardware development center in China, providing access to component suppliers, engineering talent, and manufacturing infrastructure. The company states that its products have obtained certifications including CE, FCC, RoHS, and UL.

SCORP

The SCORP line is Feiyutech’s professional-oriented camera gimbal family, aimed primarily at users of mirrorless and DSLR cameras. It has evolved into a major component of the current product portfolio.

Vimble

Vimble is associated with smartphone and lightweight creator products. The series helped establish Feiyutech in the smartphone vlogging market with features such as extension rods, foldability, subject tracking, and app control.[2]

Feiyu Pocket

The Feiyu Pocket family combines compact cameras with integrated mechanical stabilization for users seeking a simpler alternative to carrying a separate camera and gimbal.[2]

G Series / WG Series

The older G and WG products represent Feiyutech’s action-camera gimbal heritage and were particularly important during the company’s transition from drone technology to consumer imaging.[1][2]

KiCA

KiCA is a related business and product brand focused on personal care and sports-oriented hardware rather than camera stabilization. Products have included massage devices, air blowers, and other personal care equipment.[1][2]

Feiyutech operates in the competitive camera stabilization and creator equipment market. Competitors and alternatives include:

• DJI: A major competitor in camera gimbals, drones, and creator cameras.

Feiyutech’s identity is distinguished by its long history in motorized stabilization, its transition from drones to gimbals, and its broad coverage ranging from smartphones and action cameras to mirrorless and DSLR systems.

A notable aspect of Feiyutech is its technological evolution. The company did not begin as a conventional camera accessory manufacturer but started with drones and flight-control technology before applying that stabilization expertise to handheld cameras.[2] This progression can be summarized as: Drones → Flight control → Gyroscopic stabilization → Action-camera gimbals → Smartphone gimbals → DSLR/mirrorless gimbals → Integrated gimbal cameras → Broader creator ecosystem. This history explains why stabilization remains central to the brand.

As of 2026, Feiyutech’s official product ecosystem spans professional camera gimbals, smartphone gimbals, stabilized pocket cameras, action-camera stabilization, camera and smartphone filmmaking accessories, UAV-related products, and KiCA personal care and sports products. The current store prominently features products such as the SCORP 3, SCORP-C2, SCORP Mini 3 Pro, VB4, and Feiyu Pocket 3.[1] Corporate history indicates that the Feiyu Pocket 4 is planned for 2026, although the official site currently describes it as “coming soon.”[2]
