# Stabilized Selfie Sticks The Feiyu Vimble 2 is Both a Smartphone Gimbal and a Selfie Stick By Joey Haar | Published 2018-01-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feiyu-vimble-2 References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/photography/feiyu-tech-vimble-2-ces2018/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [feiyu-tech](http://www.feiyu-tech.com/index.php/Product/detail/pr_id/83.html) It can be tough to keep selfies steady and balanced, but with the [Feiyu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feiyu-pocket-3) Vimble 2 that problem is eliminated. The versatile tool serves as both a [selfie stick and a smooth gimbal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappy-mobile), ensuring that users get perfectly level pictures regardless of the direction at which they hold it. Like most good selfie sticks, the Feiyu Vimble 2 plugs into users' smartphones, connecting the phone to the controls on the handle. These controls include a button for snapping the picture, of course, but the device also comes with a scrolling wheel for adjusting the zoom. Further, the stick can telescope out up to a distance of 5.5 inches — enough to get the wide shot that selfie sticks typically offer. What sets the Vimble 2 apart, though, is its gimbal, which uses a quiet brushless motor to ensure a steady, level image every time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smartphone Gimbal:** The popularity of stable smartphone photography is creating an opportunity for innovative gimbals like the Feiyu Vimble 2. - **Telescoping Selfie Stick:** The telescoping feature of selfie sticks is proving to be a beneficial product design innovation, allowing users to capture images from a range of distances. - **Quiet Brushless Motors:** The demand for stabilized camera equipment is creating an opportunity for development in quiet motor technology, as seen in the Feiyu Vimble 2 gimbal. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** The Feiyu Vimble 2 gimbal is part of a growing trend in innovative photography equipment, aiming to enhance the user experience through advancements in technology. - **Consumer Electronics:** The Feiyu Vimble 2 represents a disruptive product category in the consumer electronics industry, which is creating new opportunities for imaging devices and accessories. - **Social Media:** The trend towards better-quality self-portraits is creating a market for selfie sticks with gimbals as seen in the Feiyu Vimble 2 making it a product of high demand in the social media industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated AI Smartphone Stabilizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smove-pro-mobile-x.md) - [Solo Vlogger Smartphone Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gimbal-griptok.md) - [Advanced AI-Powered Smartphone Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tracking.md) - [Magsafe Selfie Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magstick.md) - [AI-Powered Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isteady-m7.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Smartphone Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-osmo-mobile-7-pro.md) - [Motion-Tracking Smartphone Tripods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-flow.md) - [AI-Powered Smartphone Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-smartphone-gimbal.md) - [Professional-Grade Gimbals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhiyun-smooth-5.md)
