GoPro - Fluid Pro AI - Multi-Device Gimbal Stabilizer with AI Tracking

Awesome addition to the hero black 13 muat have . Love it !

Nice equipment for the Go Pro and the cellphone!! Love how the GoPro can have a gimbal to make other types of movement.

I was drinking my morning coffee, going through emails when I saw the message from GoPro announcing the upcoming release of the Fluid Pro AI. I was immediately drawn to it mainly due to the built in camera that allows for tracking movement. I’m slowly building up my little home studio and I thought this gimbal might fit the bill as an AI powered cameraman. I’m happy to report that it does! I already have a GoPro Hero 13 so I mounted that to the included bracket and spent a few minutes balancing the camera per the included directions. Not too difficult but important to reduce strain on the gimbal’s motors. Using a few simple hand gestures I’m able to have it track my movements around the shop or hold in position, start and stop video recording or take a photo depending on what mode the camera is in, or a really handy feature is that you can reframe a shot all with gestures. It’s pretty cool! I don’t do much in the way of vlogging but there are features that might make this a “must have” if you do. Tapping the trigger twice will recenter the gimbal but tapping it three times will flip the camera 180 so it’s facing you so it switches easily from selfie mode to show your POV. Tapping four times will move the roll motor and arm back behind the camera if you are making a wide angle shot so it doesn’t show in frame. Pressing and holding the trigger will put the Fluid in Sport Mode which increases the speed of the gimbal on all axis to track faster moving people. I did try to track objects or pets with the GoPro camera mounted and was unsuccessful, but if you use the Fluid app and mount your phone in the provided phone adapter you can draw a box around an object and it will track that. So it appears that without the Fluid app the gimbal only tracks people. We were able to fool it by showing it a picture of a person on a phone and it tracked the picture so I assume it’s looking for either a human or a human shaped object at least unless you’re using the Fluid app on a mobile device. Tracking worked well for me in standard mode as long as the person wasn’t moving too quickly, Sport mode worked on faster moving people but since you need to hold the trigger down to stay in Sport mode it’s not something can use with it hands free on the included tripod. There are several modes to pick from which changes how each axis responds to the Fluid Pro’s handle movement. In Lock mode for instance, the Fluid Pro will keep the camera pointing at the same target as you move about. Other modes allow for panning only, or allow you to control pan and tilt only while it powers the roll axis to keep the camera level. It does have a small built in fill light and a scroll wheel to vary the brightness and you can adjust the color temperature from 2700K to 6500K to suit your subject’s skin tone or help compose your shot. The light and AI camera assembly is reversible, if you have the AI camera reversed it disables POV mode as an option I noticed. I couldn’t think of a reason why I would want the AI camera facing me and the film camera facing away though? The base of the device has a 1/4-20 threaded mounting hole for the included tripod or it will fit on a standard camera tripod. You could attach a 1/4-20 threaded lanyard there also (not included with the device). There’s a second 1/4-20 hole on the right side of the Fluid for accessory mounting. The grip on the Fluid is textured and slightly grippy but not squishy. Feels good in the hand. Also note that if you are left handed, the large scroll wheel might be pressing on your index finger and affect how well you can reach the trigger. Not as comfortable when I’m using it with my left hand. Probably should try it in the store and see how it is for you if you’re a lefty. I use my right hand so I have no complaint with it. The controls are easy to reach and really everything can be operated with just my thumb and index finger except for the button on the scroll wheel. It comes with a small coiled usb-c cable to power the camera and extend its run time. The included phone adapter can be used in portrait or landscape mode, if your phone/case combo is over about 3 1/2” wide it might need the case removed to make it fit. It’s tight on my iPhone 11 in a Defender case. There’s a cold shoe on the phone adapter if you need to clip on something like a RX for your wireless microphone. With a maximum capacity of 400 grams the Fluid could possibly handle a small point and shoot camera if it’s physically small and light enough but it does work wonderfully with my Hero 13 so I can recommend that. The Fluid Pro AI can also connect to your GoPro camera and your mobile device via the Fluid app at the same time! This allows you to use your mobile device as a remote control for the gimbal, adjust settings, set up motion time lapse shots up to three hours long, control the camera and you can even control the Fluid’s motion using the accelerometers in your phone. It’s a neat device and I’m looking forward to putting it to work in the shop!

The latest Gimbal from GoPro, Fluid Pro AI, is quite alike a robotic arm that complement the GoPro Camera or a mobile phone. It provides a powerful sensors that can adapt dynamically to the movement and action. The package includes: 1. Gimbal, 2. AI Tracker, 3. Tripod 4. Camera Bracket 5. Phone Clamp, 6. Finger Adapter, 7. Thumb Screw 8. USB-C Gimbal Charging Cable 9. USB-C Device Charging Cable 10. Carrying Case The gimbal once assembled, in total provides 29 functionalities, from which includes 3 motors (Tilt Motor, Pan Motor, Roll Motor). It also includes a Fill Light which can be controlled with Control Wheel for the grade of brightness. It also includes a tinny screen for indicator of Mode based selection made with the dedicated button. Now, the actual physical actionable buttons are: 1. Mode Button (M) 2. Joystick 3. Trigger Button 4. Zoom Lever / Shutter Button 5. Control Wheel 5.1. For Focus Control+ Roll Rotation 5.2 Fill Light Control mentioned above. 6. A-B Botton, has effect on how Joystick behaves for Start and Position of the camera. On AI tracking, this is fascinating on how it works. By default it recognizes 4 hand signs for: 1. Start AI Tracking 2. Stop AI Tracking 3. Start/stop Recording, Take Photo, 4. Customized Composition. These works nicely as long as it is within the specified distance, which is 0.5m to 5m (1.64ft to 16.40 ft) away. For the case of waling around with the auto mode, as walk the gimbal adjust automatically as the angle is low or high. The adjustment ion the position allows s the camera focus still on the object. The gimbal has full of features to explore but above is mostly the most that comes to impress after first usage. On the other hand, understanding it how to use at first is not counterintuitive, I had to tryout multiple times until understood the functionality. One of issue I had was placing the camera or the phone in bracket and positioning aligned with the Fill Light as it move around and desert have fixed position. Other issues I had was randomly appearing error message and overheat messages and not being able to solve perse as when it is restarted it is not longer showing. What I wish it worked better: 1. To place the GoPro Camera, in my usage Hero 13, it need to use Finger Adapter and Thumb Screw. It is not just click and use. Although it could have used with Phone Clamp, and the puporse of using Finger Adapter is more secure, still it is multiple steps. 2. Less buttons. It has 7 buttons including the joystick. The buttons on the side are a bit odd to use unless get used to after a while. 3. The app Fluid doesn’t have option to switch to Front Camera without changing the direction of the arm of the gimbals. I am guessing it doesn’t as the AI sensor is pointing only one direction hence it limit the AI functionality. But while being the middle of recording can’t switch to front camera then back to the rear camera. As for ending the review, the Gimbal is an excitement to use, it is flexible and dynamic and works as intended. There are little details to tune still for better user experience and some training in advance, but as Hardware and it Application in overall deliver a nicely made one.
