hi, anyone here using a Feiyu Summon? Thinking of getting one but like to hear some opinions first

Nobody using one? Okay, so I ran out and bought one. If I place the box on my car, it looks as though I have been issued with a Parking Summons! What a name! Those sold in Malaysia should be renamed "Saman".

Where did you buy it? Price? A short review will be good.

wow u purposely buy it for review?
it isnt waterproof, is it?

if the camera spoilt, u need to throw the gimbal together...

hi guys, I will try to write something about the Feiyu Summon but it will be in bits and pieces. I am impressed by the overall build quality of the camera. It provides a solid feel and the weight is okay but could be just a bit lighter. I don't think this camera is meant to be waterproof because the dust cover to the Micro SD/HDMI/USB ports is a flimsy piece of plastic and not attached to the camera. In time, this piece of plastic will probably get lost. On the other hand, the cover to the other USB port (the one for charging the camera) is made of rubber and is attached to the camera! Some real inconsistency in product design here! I don't think the rubber cover is watertight though but at least it is attached to the camera and won't get lost.

Setting up the camera is easy and the menu (which is accessible through 3 clicks of the function button) is very user friendly. The gimbal works very smoothly and well ..... in fact it performed some sexy moves

I got the Summon last Friday late afternoon and I haven't had time to try out the various features. I have tried the "Panorama Shooting" function where it shoots a 360 degree .mov video which you can later (using your own software) convert to a 360 degree pano pic. Here is one of the pano pics converted from the camera's 360 degree video.

hi catsper, I bought the Feiyu Summon from Cameralah.com. Price was RM1660.

I will try to post a sample video at YouTube later.

The Summon shoots 360 degree 4k videos. You can then upload the .mov file to YouTube after running the file through Spatial Media. Check this out:-
