I had to comment twice, your video and audio and editing quality and personality Is on point. 100% awesome. I can see this channel growing into the multi million subscription category.
Just found your channel today and I have to say I I completely enjoy your style of review on this. You made me want to buy this. As I plan to start my own channel in 2020. Keep the videos coming.
Thinking about picking this gimbal up next month. Want to FINALLY improve a little bit the visual aspect of my videos. I very much enjoying the whimsy in your review. Very useful video sir!
Just finding this channel. This was a fabulous review - I’ve pretty much watched every review of this gimbal out there and imo yours has been the most comprehensive and informative in a really valuable way. Really awesome - Thanks so much!! Also I love the way you have your big camera set up - the film looks particularly gorgeous. I’m going to work my way through your uploaded videos - You’ve probably already done videos on your set up and gear etc, but if you haven’t I’d love to see what you do to get your footage to look as amazing as it does :)
Very cool looking gimbal. Yes, "it made sense in my head"… It made sense in my head hearing it also. Sounds like a lot of features I think I might want to use some! Thanks for your time, and I'm happy they sent you a unit!
I just got my smooth 4 also! Can’t wait to do a review of it. It is truly an epic smartphone gimbal! Loved your review and footage yoi captured with it! Awesome video man!
Thanks brother! Yeah, I’m a pretty big fan of this gimbal as well. Really pretty crazy to have that much in a phone gimbal! Nice for when you have to pack light!!
Thanks for the video! I've had my Smooth 4 for about a week, but it spent several days in the box while I mulled returning it. Every last feature works flawlessly, except for one: Video from the main camera. Zhiyun does not want to fix the app crashing, and suggested I downgrade my phone. I'll probably keep the gimbal because the pano features are very useful for me, and just use the phone's camera app for video on the main camera since the ZY Play app does not support 4k@60FPS anyway. The functions of the Smooth 4 work great though, and I'm impressed with the engineering. Only thing I would change is that they have the back of the phone holder in line with the center of rotation, so any phone placed in the holder is going to have it's weight forward of the axis. Moving this back 2mm would make a significant improvement in battery life, as the motor would not have to resist a front-heavy payload.
Big Thanks and Grats! Love this review. Just settled in snug and let the info flow. Just purchased Zhiyun and looking forward to using it once I've sorted out connection issues with Filmic Pro first!
The very best of all the videos on this model I have seen. Great information and a brilliant delivery. When is the new model coming out with all the updates...you have an inside on the knowledge? Thanks for keeping it real.
Glad I got this gimbal. I bought it without much research the price was right is why I got it. I enjoy taking pictures and videos on trips so I wanted something to up my game.
Just discovered your channel today and do like your review. Looking forward to checking out other vids and reviews from you. Great quality and content. Thank you.. I have been on the fence on getting a gimbal and I think I will be getting this model.
Had to sub and comment. Glad I found you. Thinking about a Zhiyun 2 (for my big stuff) or the Smooth and move into more mobile film making now the iPhone has come of age. Excellent review thanks.
Subbed...I thought I subscribed back when you introduced the office setup but I am certainly a part of it now. Your video's have exceptional quality and this channel has so much potential. I look forward to seeing where you take this. Great stuff man, kees it up.
Great video and overview. I just got my Smooth 4 a couple of days ago and LOVE IT! RE: Counterweight issue. I think they either haven't developed a strong enough motor yet for this, or it would put the costs too high for where they want to be with their price point. Perhaps we will see this in a future version. Moment is releasing a universal gimbal counterweight soon that I ordered along with kickstarting their new anamorphic lens. Excited to put that all together with the Smooth 4!
My brother gave me his today cause he never used it and im thinking of starting a RUclips Channel! Im Super excited to use it but im having to learn via web and google because he didn't save the instructions... These vids are a life savor! I heard you mention there isn't a selfie mode. Im not sure if there was an update or something to the app since this video, but if you tap the left side of the thumb wheel it flips the camera around to selfie mode. tap it again it flips it back. That also is kinda buggy because on occasion I tapped it and nothing happened, so I just sat staring at my face for an uncomfortable amount of time... I just call it my camera stick.. LOL!
I was bouncing back and forth for the past 2 weeks on what to choose over Smooth 4, Osmo 2, and the Vimble 2. Your content made me realized the obvious choice. Thanks. :)
Great review, cinematics, transitions and sound, we needed a stabiliser for our automotive reviews and show coverage, it was this or the DJI and after watching your review and reading various feedback, we opted for this, thank you
Hi. I am having trouble connecting to the app. I just get the blue and pink balls sliding side to side in the white square. Do you perhaps know how to solve this?
Hi Jeremy. I desperately look for an answer to this question: How can I select my iPhone 11 pro ultra wide lens in the ZY Play app? It can be done in Filmic Pro but I didn't find how to do this in the ZY app. Thanks!
Jeremy, first off I want to say WOW amazing video you have. I subscribed! Is there any way you can show us how the charging works? Like a close up of how the phone charges via external battery through the gimbal and a look of exactly how and where it plugs in ON the gimbal? I manage live streamers who are wanting to stream IRL instead of behind a computer and we are building a set up for them using a gimbal. Unfortunately there is no video out there that I can find ANYWHERE. I know this is a specific request, but think it would be good content for you since there is no one out there showing how to use charging & external mics with the new iphones (since the 1/8th inch jack is now gone)
Seems like I’m late to the channel, I truly enjoyed your video going over past content now. New to this whole world but super excited. Have the gimbal now & from your description list I’m gonna order that ND filter today & the counterweights. Consider me part of the fan club now. I do have a couple of questions what do you edit in? I have the Filmic pro app now, gonna look into the Zhiyun app now as well, what’s the general opinion from people here on the two. Thank you all in advance.
I have many questions I hope you answer them (iPhone X): 1. How take a photo while recording the video? 2. How to save settings like flash, camera mode & HDR which no need readjust every time use ZY play App? 3. Why the recording video duration only 30 seconds? 4. How take a portrait photo?
i am currently using 1.74 firmware and zhiyun has launched 1.76 .... soo should i update it to 1.76 .....coz i have heard that there update is quiet disappointing.....pls help me out
I got this gimbal the other day and have been working it. One thing you forgot to mention is that the cable needed to charge the iPhone (or other phone) is not included. You used a iPhone X, have you had to use anything to charge it off of the gimbal? If so, which cable did u use and where did you purchase it?
Hello! Thanks for the review! I’ve just bought it and I am wondering if there are counter weights already on the market. I use Moment lenses and I really want to use them in my videos. Thank you again!
I just got this and I have an iPhone XS Max + Moment add on lenses.. my concern is that I will be maxing out the weight payload, even with counterweights... which some people use but I think that might cause strain on the motors. Thoughts?
Hi Jeremy, your video has convinced me to order a Smooth 4 and i can't wait to get my hands on it. Just a quick question here. at 10:17 the Vertigo Shot which you grab the scene from JAWS. You mention 'Zoom out while you pan in' or vice versa, i would like to clarify that. So for that JAWS shot, whereby the focus is on the subject while the background gets larger. Do i 'zoom in while i pan out' or 'zoom out while i pan in' ? When you say 'pan in', are you referring to walking nearer to the subject? Sorry for my long question! but your review is gold to me!
Well a realistic review and truth one too. Nice equipment and house too. I ordered one and cant wait to come. Subscribed and will follow you. Regards from Bosnia and Hercegovina
I want to add video to my architectural photography to go along with the still and drone work I'm doing. For shooting interiors on video, do you think the Smooth 4 or Smooth Q would work best?
hello. found your video informative and thank you for it. Quick questions. One how is this gimbal with Android phones? Two did you test the counter weights with the lenses and what was thee out come? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Great review! You covered a lot more than other reviewers. However, it would’ve been nice to see more examples of the filming using the gimbal. Thank you though.
Wow, great video mate well done. Have you got any advise/links on learning video editing, being a newbie, feeling bewilder but I’m very impressed with your skills. Thanks
Hello, nice video... i wanna ask object traking mode; hows work with iphone 8 plus? I mean when u walk is it lock the object and video is it smooth when the lock? Thank you...
I have the Smooth Q Gimble and absolutely love it. The only complaint I have is that the Zhiyun App drains my Iphone battery unbelievably fast. I can go from 80% to 10% in 10 minutes while using the app.
By far the BEST review of this gimble! Great work!
You are such a chill dude. It really makes you easy to watch. Thanks.
I had to comment twice, your video and audio and editing quality and personality Is on point. 100% awesome. I can see this channel growing into the multi million subscription category.
Thanks!!! 👍🏻 Appreciate the encouragement!!
Never have I watched a more info producing,entertaining, concise, bias free sounding review! Never! Thanks you, Jeremy
Just found your channel today and I have to say I I completely enjoy your style of review on this. You made me want to buy this. As I plan to start my own channel in 2020. Keep the videos coming.
I've got this product 2 days back and I am thankful for your review. Good job!
Thanks so much for this review. I’ve been considering this brand and haven’t pulled the trigger. The Smooth 4 looks like just what I need.
Thinking about picking this gimbal up next month. Want to FINALLY improve a little bit the visual aspect of my videos. I very much enjoying the whimsy in your review. Very useful video sir!

Your sound is really crisp and nice. Love it!
Oh, and I just ordered the Zhiyun. Thank you!

Yes, "it made sense in my head"… It made sense in my head hearing it also.
Sounds like a lot of features I think I might want to use some! Thanks for your time, and I'm happy they sent you a unit!
Honestly i focused on your video editing skills demonstrated in this review. especially the 3:38 pause was INSANE
As always, detailed and thorough review!! Thanks, Jeremy!!
I just got my smooth 4 also! Can’t wait to do a review of it. It is truly an epic smartphone gimbal! Loved your review and footage yoi captured with it! Awesome video man!
Thanks brother! Yeah, I’m a pretty big fan of this gimbal as well. Really pretty crazy to have that much in a phone gimbal! Nice for when you have to pack light!!
Just found your channel and it's great. Lots of really nice content. Great review and because of this, I just bought the Zhiyun Smooth 4.

Jeremy, nice video. I would love to see a follow up video on use of this gimbal with its native app and also Filmic Pro. Thanks.
Super useful video! I am new to the vlogging game and just got the Smooth 4 from Amazon for $74 and I a super stoked to put it into practice.
Thanks for the review Jeremy!
It was really well done, you got another subscriber.
The very best of all the videos on this model I have seen. Great information and a brilliant delivery. When is the new model coming out with all the updates...you have an inside on the knowledge?

Hey!! Great review! Again!! Your editing is incredible!!! Great quality!!!
Hey Jeremy , great segment i will be purchasing that gimbal soon.
I was waiting on your review on this. I'm definitely getting this.
Great video and overview. I just got my Smooth 4 a couple of days ago and LOVE IT!

After watching your video, I just ordered one. Thank you.
Best review for Zhiyun Smooth 4 so far. Thank you.
My brother gave me his today cause he never used it and im thinking of starting a RUclips Channel! Im Super excited to use it but im having to learn via web and google because he didn't save the instructions... These vids are a life savor! I heard you mention there isn't a selfie mode. Im not sure if there was an update or something to the app since this video, but if you tap the left side of the thumb wheel it flips the camera around to selfie mode. tap it again it flips it back. That also is kinda buggy because on occasion I tapped it and nothing happened, so I just sat staring at my face for an uncomfortable amount of time...
I just call it my camera stick.. LOL!
I was bouncing back and forth for the past 2 weeks on what to choose over Smooth 4, Osmo 2, and the Vimble 2. Your content made me realized the obvious choice. Thanks. :)
these reviews never fail
This was a terrific and detailed video. Much appreciated
Great review, cinematics, transitions and sound, we needed a stabiliser for our automotive reviews and show coverage, it was this or the DJI and after watching your review and reading various feedback, we opted for this, thank you
Great video and very informative. Subscribed and buying one today. Thanks.
Hi.
I am having trouble connecting to the app. I just get the blue and pink balls sliding side to side in the white square.
Do you perhaps know how to solve this?
thank you for the review, im already planning on buying this one.

Love your review! Keep it roll in’!
Awesome and clear video. Which software you have used for make the video in the beginning? Thank you!
Thumps up! This was an over the top review.
great video, you covered a lot of topics other review videos missed! Excellent video.
Nice to see a video guy represent St Auggie. Grew up there now in NYC.
Jeremy, first off I want to say WOW amazing video you have. I subscribed!

REALLY INTERESTING COOL VIDEO. i actually laughed out loud when you corrected your own video " sweet baby Jesus". Very Cool.
I have many questions I hope you answer them (iPhone X):
1. How take a photo while recording the video?
2. How to save settings like flash, camera mode & HDR which no need readjust every time use ZY play App?
3. Why the recording video duration only 30 seconds?
4. How take a portrait photo?
i am currently using 1.74 firmware and zhiyun has launched 1.76 .... soo should i update it to 1.76 .....coz i have heard that there update is quiet disappointing.....pls help me out
I will try this to my zy smooth 4. Thanks for informative tips. 😊
i just ordered it, i get so exited to get it in my hands :)
Great review and love the lighting
U deserve more subs bro keep it up!
Great review! It would he nice to know if I can use a gopro with this.
I got this gimbal the other day and have been working it. One thing you forgot to mention is that the cable needed to charge the iPhone (or other phone) is not included. You used a iPhone X, have you had to use anything to charge it off of the gimbal? If so, which cable did u use and where did you purchase it?
Hello! Thanks for the review! I’ve just bought it and I am wondering if there are counter weights already on the market. I use Moment lenses and I really want to use them in my videos. Thank you again!
Very good idea Pro 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀
Great video! Thinking about trying this out.
I just got this and I have an iPhone XS Max + Moment add on lenses.. my concern is that I will be maxing out the weight payload, even with counterweights... which some people use but I think that might cause strain on the motors. Thoughts?
great video but you didn't cover using an external mic with it. I'm thinking of this gimbal combined with a Boya BY-MM1
How do I select wide-angle 0.5? I am able on Camera iPhone.
Hi Jeremy, your video has convinced me to order a Smooth 4 and i can't wait to get my hands on it. Just a quick question here. at 10:17 the Vertigo Shot which you grab the scene from JAWS.

Great review. 👍👍. I had some trouble with the motion time lapse too. But, I heard an update fixed it.
Yeah, it’s for sure a little buggy. They will work out I’m sure. Works great on the Crane 2.
Well a realistic review and truth one too. Nice equipment and house too. I ordered one and cant wait to come.
Subscribed and will follow you.
Regards from Bosnia and Hercegovina
Nicely done! Now i want to get that shheeyun ...jiyunnn..jeeyun... whatever thingy.. 😜😜
Super rad footage! I ordered an Osmo Mobile 2 back I February and am still waiting on it. Zhiyun seems to be killing it though...
Thanks!!! Yeah, I love DJI!! They have such awesome stuff!! But Zhiyun is killing the gimbal game for sure! 👍🏻
The zhiyun stabilizer has a lot of electrical noise during recording. And it affects my radio performance on the video. Do you have that problem?
what's the TV wallpaper you have running back there?
Thank you Jeremy...very informative video. New Subscriber. Now going to shop for a Smooth 4. Maybe updates are ready for Samsung S7!
Well done reviewing and being fair. keep it up.
How are you only at 16k subs. Dope personality, great editing and great video/audio quality. Doesn't make sense.
Damn love the living room set up man clean
Have you compared zhiyun with feiyu vimble 2? Ty
Haven’t used the vimble. I did recently get sent a Movi Freefly. Really like it so far. Might be my favorite. Review coming on that one. 👍🏻
I have a galaxy s9 plus.. would my phone be to heavy for this gimbal? Because the smooth q did not work out for me...
My s9 plus works only without a case on it. My otterbox case makes it too heavy.
Nice video man. I have a question what app are you using to record?
Hi Jeremy. Great video. Question: Have Zhiyun fixed the problem with Object motion tracking yet?
Great review Jeremy! I think i'm gonna get one ;-)
I want to add video to my architectural photography to go along with the still and drone work I'm doing. For shooting interiors on video, do you think the Smooth 4 or Smooth Q would work best?
hello. found your video informative and thank you for it. Quick questions. One how is this gimbal with Android phones? Two did you test the counter weights with the lenses and what was thee out come? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Great review, thanks. Is there an attachment on the grip so you can fix a rode microphone? I can't see one.
Unfortunately no. That is my biggest complaint about the Smooth 4, the input is blocked, so no way to plug anything in.
Great review! You covered a lot more than other reviewers. However, it would’ve been nice to see more examples of the filming using the gimbal. Thank you though.
How is target tracking on an android phone? Is it comparable to DJI's Osmo 2?
Wow, great video mate well done. Have you got any advise/links on learning video editing, being a newbie, feeling bewilder but I’m very impressed with your skills. Thanks
Hello can you write the model of the lenses accesories you talked at the begining of the show please?
Hello, nice video... i wanna ask object traking mode; hows work with iphone 8 plus? I mean when u walk is it lock the object and video is it smooth when the lock? Thank you...
How do I do portrait mode on this thing! The ZY app camera won't reorient.
I just got this gimbal any improvement using moment lens?
I have the Smooth Q Gimble and absolutely love it. The only complaint I have is that the Zhiyun App drains my Iphone battery unbelievably fast. I can go from 80% to 10% in 10 minutes while using the app.
Awesome vid and review, thanks man
