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.
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 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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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
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.
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!
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. :)
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.
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.
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. 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?
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...
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!
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.
Hey mate! Great video. You win another new subscriber ;) Keep doing this stuff with this quality, it's awesome!! Opinions/options on gimbal for Android? Or... Any good gimbal that can carry 1/2kg or so? I'm thinking to buy the new Ronin S for my dslr, but looking for something else for the phone and small camera like the Sony a5000.
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 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?
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 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?
Great review dude but as an android user (Huawei P20) I'm really disappointed with the lack of support and available usage of the gimbal. The camera on the P20 is amazing and I thought coupling with this product would be amazing, so far it's not to be. Like you say I hope it's just a software issue because I have great hopes of working well with both gimbal and phone. Thanks again!
Hi Jeremy! Is object tracking a feature on this gimbal/app. I have been searching high and low on this issue and cannot find any "how to's" or direction on where it would be located. You mentioned something in the video. I have heard lots about the Vertigo and PhoneGo mode but not auto tracking. Already purchased this gimbal...I'd appreciate your (or anyone's) insight!
AZIM A. MAJID there a small cross icon on the left bottom side of the screen. Press to activate tracking mode and then you swipe your finger across the object you want to track on the phone screen. A small square will be displayed around the object...
Hi Jeremy, Did you happen to find a way to film slow-mo through the ZY Play app at a better resolution than 720p? the iPhone can do 1080p at 120fps, but I couldnt seem to get the ZY play app to do the same.
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)
10:36 Still look like jelly , it was because you was not walking properly? Maybe shaking to much or that's the best stabilization it can do even walking smoothly? Then it only is useful to keep the phone horizontal ...
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!!
You are such a chill dude. It really makes you easy to watch. Thanks.
By far the BEST review of this gimble! Great work!
Never have I watched a more info producing,entertaining, concise, bias free sounding review! Never! Thanks you, Jeremy
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.
And now all together,vertigoooooo great review ,this is why after your video I have choose smooth4 you’re the man 😉
This is the best review I have seen so far on this Gimbal. Great Job!!!
Your sound is really crisp and nice. Love it!
Oh, and I just ordered the Zhiyun. Thank you!
I've got this product 2 days back and I am thankful for your review. Good job!
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!

The quality of these videos are insane and amazing honestly!! Its addicting to watch
Dope video; editing had me crying😂😂😂 best vid on this gimbal that I’ve seen. I’m now a subscriber👍🏾
Honestly i focused on your video editing skills demonstrated in this review. especially the 3:38 pause was INSANE

Love your stuff dude, you are in a class of your own.
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.
Great video and overview. I just got my Smooth 4 a couple of days ago and LOVE IT!

Good stuff, man! Thanks. I just bought the Smooth 4 to go with my LG v30. Thanks for sharing.
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.
Thanks for the review Jeremy!
It was really well done, you got another subscriber.

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.
Thanks to this video, I just bought one. Great video! Thank you!
My brother gave me his today cause he never used it and im thinking of starting a RUclips Channel!

INCREDIBLE! Love your channel brotha!
Nice one dude,looking to get my first one . Definitely helped me out here 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
I was waiting on your review on this. I'm definitely getting this.

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. :)
Hey Jeremy , great segment i will be purchasing that gimbal soon.
Best review for Zhiyun Smooth 4 so far. Thank you.
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.
This was a terrific and detailed video. Much appreciated

these reviews never fail
Great video and very informative. Subscribed and buying one today. Thanks.
How do I select wide-angle 0.5? I am able on Camera iPhone.
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! 👍🏻
After watching your video, I just ordered one. Thank you.
Love your review! Keep it roll in’!
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?
Very good idea Pro 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀
great video, you covered a lot of topics other review videos missed! Excellent video.
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 are you only at 16k subs. Dope personality, great editing and great video/audio quality. Doesn't make sense.
Thumps up! This was an over the top review.
It looks like fantastic gimbal. Great review, you went very in-depth. Cheers.
Damn love the living room set up man clean
REALLY INTERESTING COOL VIDEO. i actually laughed out loud when you corrected your own video " sweet baby Jesus". Very Cool.
Great review and love the lighting
thank you for the review, im already planning on buying this one.

I'm thinking to buy the new Ronin S for my dslr, but looking for something else for the phone and small camera like the Sony a5000.
Does the Zhiyun Smooth 4 work and support a Samsung 20+ Ultra? In terms of weight and use of app. Seems like I may need to use Filmic app.
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
Great review Jeremy! I think i'm gonna get one ;-)
U deserve more subs bro keep it up!
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. 😊

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?
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. 👍🏻
Great video! Thinking about trying this out.
Good video. Helped me finally make a decision on my next gimbal. Currently have the smooth q. Love it but of course it's not perfect.
what's the TV wallpaper you have running back there?
Nice video man. I have a question what app are you using to record?
Great review dude but as an android user (Huawei P20) I'm really disappointed with the lack of support and available usage of the gimbal. The camera on the P20 is amazing and I thought coupling with this product would be amazing, so far it's not to be. Like you say I hope it's just a software issue because I have great hopes of working well with both gimbal and phone.

How do I do portrait mode on this thing! The ZY app camera won't reorient.

i just ordered it, i get so exited to get it in my hands :)
You're pretty funny. I liked the review. Very thorough.
Was wondering is it possible to create the inception shot with smooth 4?
Hi Jeremy, Did you happen to find a way to film slow-mo through the ZY Play app at a better resolution than 720p? the iPhone can do 1080p at 120fps, but I couldnt seem to get the ZY play app to do the same.
Thanks for the review - it has helped

Thank you Jeremy...very informative video. New Subscriber. Now going to shop for a Smooth 4. Maybe updates are ready for Samsung S7!
Nicely done! Now i want to get that shheeyun ...jiyunnn..jeeyun... whatever thingy.. 😜😜
Great video, I'm sold on this now👍👍
10:36 Still look like jelly , it was because you was not walking properly? Maybe shaking to much or that's the best stabilization it can do even walking smoothly? Then it only is useful to keep the phone horizontal ...
Great review!
How is target tracking on an android phone? Is it comparable to DJI's Osmo 2?
Nice to see a video guy represent St Auggie. Grew up there now in NYC.
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.
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
Well done reviewing and being fair. keep it up.
Hello can you write the model of the lenses accesories you talked at the begining of the show please?
