This is the best review ever, i was looking for a details in good review and i found it, thank you.. ❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for this review!! Getting mine on the black Friday sale right now!!! 🤩😍🤩
How is it? Are you having fun? :)
I love how you did the review looking forward for more videos more power to your channel very interesting
Very good and honest review. Just subscribed. I really wish that you could maintain the level of review and honesty in your future videos. Great job 👍
I will do that! Thank you for watching :)
great review and painting! and your left hand drawing is very good too 👍
I've just placed my order for this! ;w; I'm like 6 months late to this video but I'm really excited! It's my first tablet EVER, and I'm transitioning from traditional pen and paper to digital! I'm really nervous bc I'm not familiar with anything digital at all since I've stuck to pencils :( but ur video is very informative and fun to watch! :DD I hope I'll learn quickly and enjoy digital art like everyone else! ^^ thank you for this video!
Kerisa, that's awesome! It's going to be quite a journey, but you got this 🔥 Have fun! 😊
Hi! can you say how it ur experience with the tablet? I am considering buying it :D
The people need to know
Are you still using it?
everyone says these budget brands are for "if you are new to digital art" but I don't get a clear idea why you'd want the Wacom if you are experienced or take your art seriously. Can you explain that difference? Is it drawing texture? How the pen feels? Accuracy of gesture and stroke weight?
Of course you can use a Huion tablet professionally. Only thing is some of them might be a bit less reliable. Wacom is pretty much the cornerstone of graphics tablets and you're basically guaranteed to get something good when you buy from them, for example I don't think the calibration thing would be an issue on any wacom tablet, and you're probably guaranteed good color feedback on all of them. The brand reputation and reliability is what you're mainly buying it for, because you can't go wrong with a wacom. The reason huion is for "new digital artists" is because they're cheaper and if you don't end up liking it you will have spent less of a fortune on something you're not interested in. Huion is definetly good for professional work, though
@@AndrewT34pot because people like you think more expensive better product, and still have the impression that the Wacom drivers are the best we they actualy start to slack really hard, at the same time their so call better prodict for money value is bullshit!!! give me a break besides the drivers issue with huion! their hardwere advanced really neat compare to the way to overpriced crap Wacom sell! they think themself the Apple of pen tablets insted they aren’t! at least when I buy an Iphone I know very well how good they are!
Wacom is starting to loos their value once you realize they won’t lower the price of the wacom cintique 16 inch while huion offers tablets with 1440p rezolution compare to overpriced 1080p cintiq 16! not even a good stand inside not even some gloves that they sell really expensive separatly
ALSO there ARE profesional artists using Huion when ofc the drivers don’t get in the way, the only caviat for Huion but compare to what you get is way over the expensive crap Wacom thinks their driver stability is worth! vs Huion!
@@RavenL1337 perhaps I didn't make my point clear, because you're saying "people like me" and then naming a group of people that aren't like me. I've never owned a wacom tablet. My first tablet was a huion tablet, and now I bought my first pen display which is also a huion (the kamvas 16 2.5k, really happy with it). The thing with wacom though for a very long time it has been the case that people would buy it for the same reason people but apple products, since they were top of their game for a really long time
Frankly, it’s mainly the build/pen quality and pressure sensitivity that you get better with a Wacom. And some people might prefer the display? HOWEVER, they are JUST as susceptible to hardware issues as huion and Xp Pen are. I know people that I’ve gotten Wacoms then within a year they have dead pixels or back light bleeding. Quite frankly all display tablets at the current moment are not the most reliable of products. Some people they work fine for years, others they break within a few months. It’s one of the most crapshoot products on the market. The only truly reliable one is the iPad with the Apple Pencil, and even though I love my iPad I still wanna display tablet that I can plug into my computer… It’s all a game of Russian roulette with these products
@@AndrewT34pot sadly it’s hard to say that Wacom is a reliable product because they are just susceptible to hardware issues as its competitors are. They might have a good build quality in terms of the peripherals in the drawing tablet, but I know people that I’ve had dead pixels and backlight bleeding after just under a year. Every single display tablet on the market is essentially an expensive game of Russian roulette.
Thanks for the review mine is coming tomorrow 🙌🏾
Exciting 😍😍🥳🥳
Great review. I tried the Kamvas 13 and liked everything but the size. Felt so small I like how this, at least as advertised, can be a display tablet and with the screen off, act as a regular graphics tablet.
AMAZING VIDEO, you helped me make my decision, I am new to digital art and I want something that will help through my digital art journey and I think that this will do perfectly. Again, thank you so much for this
Fantastic! Glad this helped, and hope you have loads of fun on this new art journey! 😊
Thank you for your review! I really want to draw again, been 6 years since I stopped drawing digitally and I sold my tablet (..I still regret it 😭)
I'll save up fro this ✨❤️
Ria, don't give up!! And welcome back 😊
Meeee toooo. Its such an amazing thing when things hit us and all of a sudden we want to draw again after years of not. This girl can draw. I am excited to start from the lower level of tablet and work my way up with animations and game design 👍
Amazing and honest Huion kamvas 16 review.
Thank you for making the best review!
Thank you for watching it!! :))
Hi Anna, which is the best option The Kamvas pro 16 or Kamvas 16 2021? And what is the difference. Thanks in advance
I've been using pen tablets for about 8 years now and I'm more than ready to see what a display tablet is like. I'm so excited tbh because sometimes I find myself preferring traditional to digital as the hand eye coordination of pen tablets can be tiring at times, especially when I haven't done art for a while 😅
I spent so long researching from Veikk to Gaomon, XP pen, Wacom and huion. I think I'm going to settle on the Huion though since I've been using Huion pen tablets for most of my journey (currently have the Inspiroy and I love it).
Watched a bunch of review videos and I'm about to take the jump and buy this. The size looks great and I think that I can deal with the negatives people have mentioned.
Thanks for your review! Let's see how this goes!!
Interested in how you like it?
I have a question ! So do you think between huion 16(2021) and xp pen innovator who is better ??????
dont know how i finished here but i like your review, you explain all
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you Anna, very insightful!
You're so welcome, Els! 😊
Did you ever get the pen calibrated properly with the screen? That would be a show stopper for me if the pointer was always below the nib
i have mac mini M1, can this tablet use as main display (without using another display)
i just bought this yesterday need help , how do i make the pen work?..
Did you get any parallax when you hover the pen near the edges of the screen?
Can you please tell me between the huion LCD kamvas 16 series (RDS-160) vs the XP-Pen Artist 12 gen 2 x3 chip line, which is better? The kamvas 16 series is 15.6in and the XP-Pen is only 12in, but the pen with x3 chip is ok 🥰
Hello...im thinking to buy this tablet...but Im still confuse about the USB C... My laptop isnt USB C type...so do I need to buy USB adaptor??
could we use this display tablet to android without the power adaptor?
My pen calibration was perfect straight out of the box.
But I m glad u bright this issue of calibration as it can frustrate many people who don't know that it's normal to have off calibration and that it needs to be adjusted. I have had horrible calibration experience with surface pro wasted lot of money one them.
But this one was real smooth for me. It's the best tablet at this price there is no doubt about it. And yes it has a little more technical glitches than wacom but that's why u pay less.
I totally agree! And most of them can have a workaround if thought about in creative ways. Glad to hear you had a good time with this one! 😊
13:50 Yeah, the offset is driving me crazy. It's not consistent either (both calibrated and default calibration), as each time I pick my pen up, it can range from 2 pixels off to 15 pixels off 😕, even on the same spot. Everything *else* I like about it, including the color, resolution, size, pen feel...
has it been fixed?
@@wongedanbagos Gave up for now. 😒
Hey man I had the same issue until I went in the driver "about menu" selected "default config" and tried all the calibrarions, also try to uncheck windows ink
I literally just ordered this tablet as my first screen tablet. I’ve got a non screen tablet but I’m so used to drawing on paper that i have a hard time with the non screen one
How do you like it. I'm thinking about getting it and jumping into so much
@@inbedduringcovid3005 Hey! dont have this specific model yet, my first was a Huion Kamvas Pro 12, but i will say, regarding the pen they give you, handle it with care! Mine dropped a few times and it seems to have messed up how the pen operates!
Update lol I've had this tablet for just about a month, it runs pretty nice! lots of space to work on :DD
@@pastlepink131 I'm glad to hear that because I ordered it a couple of days ago and I've been checking the updates in the tracking number every single minute
Your left handed drawing looks like Mona Lisa compared to my right handed drawing 😂
Ps. Kids in middle school draw better than me
lmao 😂 I'm sure with a bit of practice it will look really good ;)
Hello Anna! can i know if the table experience any increase in temperature during prolong use? like does the screen get any hot or warm? I've heard that this is one of the common problem happen during using pen display tablet, and I also head it a lot from previous model of huion product, I just want to know did It also happen with these newer version? has that been improvement?
I haven't noticed any heating up after 3 hours of use :)
@@AnnaSok_Art thanks that seal the deal a lot for me! now all that left is to bought one, thanks!
Love ur review.
Thank you! 🙏 ☺️
Huion Kamvas 16 (2021) or XP-pen Innovator 16? Thanks
How to charge it?
Did you have any problems with Mac OS big sur and connection using usb c?
Those to comments above my comment are bots, they have 2 accounts and write that same thing, whatever you do DO NOT RESPOND to those comments.
And I have windows not Mac and I didn’t have any problems, but I hope yours sets up fine :)
Should I buy this or Wacom One 13?
good video! glad u actually just calibrated by putting the pen lower, :D which makes it into a none issues :) im sure huion would replace the pen though if you told them about it :) great video!
I have an XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 and a Kamvas 16 and I LOVE the Kamvas. And I don't have weird issues with the calibration. I put the pen at the dot and it's dead-on, unlike the Artist Pro.
Though I'm guessing your issue is the same as mine, which is that the Huion software is pretty flaky. It crashes out constantly, especially when coming to of sleep, which makes the buttons unresponsive. But if I search the Huion software and run it (it "opens'n'closes"), everything goes back to how it should be.
Wish they would fix their software. Though I still love it more than the Artist Pro, which I could never get dialed in.
How the Kamvas holding up? any updates?
@@penholder7765 Updates from Huion? Yes.
Fixed the issue? No.
Still, I love the thing. And I even tried out the 2.5k version and found that it wasn't worth the extra cost. I work, though, in vector, so resolution's not an issue with me.
It's the right size and the right feel (with the felt nobs, which you can get off of Amazon). I've drawn over 1,000 comic strip images using the thing.
Oh, look! There's a new driver update. I'll give that a try.
@@skm6777 What about the xppen? do you sell it out?
@@penholder7765 I gave it away. Too big, pen not accurate enough.
@@skm6777 how about color accuracy? that's apparently one of the main issues with this tablet.
Im a lefty. i was happy to hear it can rotate
What program?
Thank you very much ❤
which case do you recomend for it or you keep it in the org box? I hardly can find sth stiff and in size...
Are you planning to travel with it? If not, then it should be fine without anything on your desk :)
thank you!!
Can anyone help me with my Kamvas 17 (2021) tablet please. I used the 3 in 1 plug in method but my tablet never turned on, it just said no display found and went into power saving mode. My computer recognized my tablet as a keyboard and not as a second monitor. Please help!!!
9:48 it happened to her too but she just exited it, and if u don’t already have a keyboard connected to your computer and you have one then I would connect the keyboard before the tablet. but if it keeps happening then I would contact the huion support (it’s on theyre website)
Hope this helps :)
Btw did u mean the 16? Because the 17 doesn’t exist 😂
Hey! It took a while but I finally figured it out. I’m new to pc and I plugged the tablet in to the motherboard, which you’re not supposed to do and that was why it wasn’t getting any power lol. And yea I did mean the 16, I’m pretty sure I was thinking about DaVinci Resolve 17 at the time lol
@@faridsawaqed7196 dude i dont know what u meant by connected to the motherboard? isn't technically all USB socket/hole supposed to be connected to the motherboard one way or another? or am I wrong? i am gonna use laptop, so I don't see how does the USB socket not suppose to be connected to the motherboard? please let me know before I did the same mistake as yours, before mine arrived.
@@Nasiputut I’m not really good with technology but there is a socket on the back of the pc that connects straight to the motherboard. If you use that plug, you won’t get any power on the device you plugged it into
What´s diference between kamvas 16 and kamvas 16 pro?
the pro is 4k, the normal is 1080
Hi! I'm so confused now. Every review of every tablet I see is just positive, and I don't know what to buy. I've kinda set my eyes on the xp pen innovator 16, but is this one better or worse?
There is also a new Huion 16 4k as well. I personally think XP Pen is a better choice if specs are the same because I hear Huion support is very bad.
@@77dris Yeah, I've heard that too. But if you buy from Amazon, you might get support from them instead of Huion?
buy xp pen 15.6, its pretty decent
how to the pen pressure! to change effect in Adobe PS
I use the same Bluetooth keyboard as you, but mine is light-up (unless yours is, too)!
Mine lights up as well! 😊🙌🏻
I loved the video.😊 Sonia
I've seen your review for XP-Pen innovator 16 and I would like to ask you which of them are better ? ( which of them would you recommend ?) I 've understood this Huion has surface a little textured filling like paper . It's true ? Thank you .
XP PEN has horrible parallax every experience ive had with them has been a nightmare wouldnt recommend them until they fix the parallax
oh and not only that huion in the past paid out allot of people reviewing these tablets so thats good this "isnt paid" id watch this www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwit2avArvfuAhVcIDQIHclbClkQwqsBMAB6BAgBEAg&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVH1WEYF8rlA&usg=AOvVaw0lAAiSDR5EArw121Q5PNKu very important when it comes to tablet reviews
@@moraeza I understood the innovator 16 hasn't parallax ( I've seen many reviews of them ) but when I've seen about this huion I am not very sure which of them to chose
@@sabinapopovicihantu1119 my problem with all this talk about xp pen and how great they are is really concerning because I had the 22 pro they made and it was horrible and the parallax was abysmal, so I hear people saying it’s great for the price and no parallax etc etc. and I get it and it’s a nightmare makes me really hesitant to suggest it or really anything xp pen, not only that allot of programs didn’t work with it or the pen just would get worse with the parallax situation depending on the program I used and or the cursor would randomly disappear and go to my other monitor if I tried to have it running as a separate display
@@moraeza oops, thank you so much, so in your opinion huion is better ? ( honest I have a xp-pen deco pro( it's a pen tablet) and it seems to be ok but.... the problem is me .. I can't coordinate very well my hand with the eyes on computer)
I have a question! im thinking of getting this tablet for the summer to replace an old XP Pen 15.6 tablet I have, and I’m loving your review so much and so relieved that there is a way to fix the calibration issue! I was wondering is there any settings to adjust the color displayed on the tablet?
.
Yes! There are multiple settings, super detailed! Lot's of playing around for sure.
hey mate,
i am about to buy a tablet but still cant decide between Huion kamvas 16 2021 and the XP Pen artist 15.6 pro.
what ur recommendation?
@@killuazoldyck7216 i have the same question!
I'm buying this! yes thank you
awesome! have fun 🤩
is it good
@@sin-qw1uh I wish I got the bigger to be honest but yes it’s very nice
Hi, loved the video🤗 is this tablet better than the huion kamvas 16 pro or is there a difference at all when you're drawing?
I haven’t tried the pro version :)
@@AnnaSok_Art thank you anyways. I will give this one a try :3
@@xxdudexx20 awesome 🙌🏻
My huion just arrived today, i did not calibrate it..straight out of the box. it was accurate...
Awesome!! 🤩
Can I use it with my desktop computer? Can I make a moving picture with this device? Or does it make still pictures only?
Tony, it's like a second monitor for your computer. So, if you have a software for moving pictures - then yes! Wanna watch Netflix on it? Go for it! Wanna draw - best choice ever. (you get the point). It's NOT a standalone tablet.
@@AnnaSok_Art Thank you so much! There's one more thing I need to ask, do you know of the name of any software I can use for moving pictures?
@@AnnaSok_Art Thank you so much! Yes, I will go for it. Wish me luck.
hi! thanks for the video! I have a question about something that I did not understand... Can I use it connected to my notebook without connecting it to the wall? or does it need to be connected to the wall to work?
friends, I want to buy a new tablet, it would be my first with a screen, which one I buy, huion kamvas pro 16 or huion kamvas 16 2021.
Hello! I have a huion kamvas pro 16 and I'm currently reselling it to buy this version! What I know is that there are only a few little changes between the pro one and the 2021 model! The new model's pen is supposed to be a bit better than the pro version. In my case, the pro one felt wobbly and it was a bit uncomfortable to draw with. The screen was also too smooth for my taste and according to the reviews i have seen, this one seems to be a bit more rough compared to the older model? I'm really hoping it is. Either way, both are practically the same, but if you want something with a bit more texture and less wobble in the pen tip, then the 2021 version is the one you should go for! 😊
Oh and also, the pro version comes with an anti glare glass. While the 16 2021 comes with an anti glare matte film instead, which explains why it has a bit more texture than the older model.
woah, I couldn't have answered better myself. Great input! Thank you 😊🙏🏻
@@AnnaSok_Art I'm glad i was able to help somehow!! 😊😊
Kamvas pro 16
Kamvas pro 13..both are too good.
If you want to buy can send me message at - rashid.saifi09@gmail.com
IPad pro 12.9...!!!
I think why it was lower was because you didn't uninstall the previous driver
could be! :)
Hello! how does this one compare to the innovator 16? i personally think this one looks great but i thought i saw you more excited in the Innovator16 video hahah
Jorge 😂 I was unsure when I started filming it I guess, but then I was really impressed :)) I actually went LIVE 3 times with this tablet and had so much fun!! :) I really like how this one feels. But tbh they are both really good choices 😊
@@AnnaSok_Art I went for the Huion. It is still on its way but i'm already happy with my choice. After all it is my first pen display ever and i'm excited hahaha. Thank you so much
@@jorgealvarez3431 congrats 🥳🥳
@@AnnaSok_Art Don't you have any preference ? I hesitate between both
Could you figure out the calibration issue? Any fix?
Hi :) So, the way I fixed it works for me for now. I think it has to do with the latest driver? Maybe the older one works better. It has nothing to do with the tablet, so I'm sure they will release a fix soon.
Maybe you have to remove the wacom drivers to get good calibration ?
@@moonpawooe7134 I don’t have Wacom drivers installed, but I do have XP-Pen drivers. You could be right though :) I’m sure it has something to do with the drivers in one way or another
@@AnnaSok_Art they reckon the drivers conflict with each other it's worth looking into
I wish I had realized they kidna remade this tablet in 2021 with a new pen but I bought the older model. Oh well, I hope I still like it either way I know the differences aren’t huge just the pen
You are my sweet and best teacher
So does it come with photoshop or do you need to purchase that too/drawing application?
Nice video!
Do you know when it will be available in Europe?
Aww it’s not?? 🥺 I’m sorry, I had no idea. Hopefully soon 🤞🏻
@@AnnaSok_Art no and I've been waiting for it since November 😭
I hope too❤️🤞🏼
I really need help. Which one would you recommend? Camvas pro 16 or Camvas 16 (2021)? Thank you 🙏🏼
I like your art's
And now there is a new Huion Kamvas 16 4k! Ack.
nice video. thanks. hello from Turkey :)
Hello from Canada! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
@@AnnaSok_Art 😊
I like the feeling of peeling off the covering on the screen.
John, me too haha :))
how dare you cut the scene where you remove the protection?
I think you can't calibrate it with the tablet inclined. Lower it to be flush to the table
What is the name of the program where you draw
its photoshop u can clearly see the name of the app in the top left
@@HiHi-zj7lk Thank you ❤️
Cześć. Jak wygląda sprawa rysowania się folii? Huion 16 Pro miał szkło matowe, ten ma film.
Hey 👋🏻 I'm not sure about the scratching. But it kinda looks like a screen protector, so maybe with time you could replace it?
Sorry Anna. I thought you are a polish girl 🙂
No problem, you are not the only one! I’m actually Ukrainian 😊
Yyoooo
yoooo
It’s pen need to get charged?
nope :)
How many hz does the display have?
60hz. Bought it two days ago and played with the settings extensively.
honestly this one is true wacom killer
that's right! Competition is great for us artists, as it gets the companies to come up with better and better products 🔥
yea the pen calibration issues will be the reason i stick to ipads
haha it's not so bad though! But fair enough, I love my iPad too :)
Please, could you add Polish subtitles 🙏
I would, but I don’t speak Polish 😭
Oh my god you are so cute!
Default calibration is the best. Don't manually calibrate, just use default.
Sure, if it works for you :) In my case, you saw how it was off, and so I calibrated it to fit my needs. Aaaaaand I was happy with how it worked at the end. That's what matters! 😊
@@AnnaSok_Art Does it stay calibrated or do you have repeat this process.

Products here just work for a month. Then customer service will not help you until warranty period is over. then the product cannot be fixed (disposable). The customer service will advise you to buy a new one. Lols such a waste...
