Feiyu, known for its comprehensive lineup of gimbals and stabilizers built for portable camera systems, was showing off its latest wares at this year's NAB Show, including the consumer-minded Vimble handheld unit for smartphones. With onboard zoom control, 3-axis gimbal, estimated 4 to 5 hour battery life and expected street price of $139, Vimble is poised to bring handheld stabilization technology to the masses. 

The company also had their SPG Live 3-axis smartphone gimbal with vertical mode on display. A step up from the forthcoming Vimble, the SPG Live features an internal battery good for 8 hours of recording, as well as push button controls for iPhone camera and gimbal motor actuation. 

Moving up to a two-handed setup, the SPG Plus features 360-degree panning, 320-degree tilting and 100-degree rolling controlled via a joystick mounted in its grip. The two-handle configuration offers space for five, one-quarter inch screw jacks to mount lights, microphones and other filmmaking equipment. 

Feiyu also showcased the S1000, a prototype gimbal that supports smartphones and small cameras up to 1.4 pounds. With a slightly larger handle, the S1000 boasts battery life of 8 to 10 hours per charge. The device is expected to ship within the next two to three months.
