Thank you for speak english very clear, slowly and without expressions, contractions, phrasal verbs and slang words. This is VERY important for everybody like me who isn't native english speaker. I got a Smooth 5 and will arrive tomorrow... I'm excited.
It's those little things in the OM6 that takes the cake for me! Say the OM6's quick vertical to horizontal orientation switch. It may look like just a simple feature but it's pretty convenient and basically a most used function.
Oh please, I own the dji 5 and purchased the dji6 but returned it the following day. To rotate the phone 90° is done very quick and very easy just by grasping the phone and give a 90° twist. Dji fails every damned time, what is so damned hard about letting the gimbal rotate for infiniti from any three points. One can't add any accessories to any of the 6 model year dji gimbals. Not to mention the dji gimbal are fragile and very easy to break down. The kid in this video said the accessories and packaging are equal to one another, I beg the difference! Dji only give you a cheap flimsy crappy pouch and for $160 I expect much better product and accessories and they could have made the pouch out of high-end soft leather. The ziyun smooth you get a case, you can mount accessories and it can take a ding or 2 or 5.
@@Av8rThor I agree with you the last thing you want while filming is changing the orientation of the phone, it's going to be one or the other on each video!
@@williamfitch1408 the course of action in my comment above works. Just keep in mind that it’s not a full continuous 360 degree shot. There are upper and lower limits in which spin travel stops. If I had to do it over again, I might consider getting a DJI gimbal with its own proprietary camera, so you don’t have to use a smartphone. But I’m pretty happy with the OM6 with an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
You are all round creator who understand the need of each and every smartphone filmmaker. You really deserve a big round applause. You test, compare and tell us in detail about each of gear essential for smartphone film making. Thank you very much. Always create such quality content.
@@lp037 yeah I should of mentioned that, thank you.! But still good for vlogs I guess. 🤷🏻♂️ I’m still going with the smooth 5 or the crane M3 I think. DJI’s just can’t do the payload.
Unless Zhiyun does magnets too or does something better than DJI's magnetic clamp, then that's probably the time I'd consider getting a Smooth. That balancing stuff is such a hassle. Something has to be done with that!
@@samdottori I see more people complain about the DJI because of the range of motion. I definitely don't think it's crap, Zhiyun cranes have ALWAYS been like that, it's no different balancing than any other. You should have looked into the balancing before you bought it my guy lol. DJI is better for on-the-go bloggers, Zhiyun is more for filmmakers due to its versatility. You should trade it in for a DJI
@@samdottori Yeah they can definitely be a hassle, some people def prefer the simple stuff. I hate learning new things for hours, I just want to shoot or I'll lose motivation lol so I've had a love hate with them myself. My fault not putting in the time lol, I get they're great if you take that time. Everyone makes it look easy online 😂
Do you keep the exact same settings configuration on the Zhiyun Crane M3 ? As in since it takes a long time to balance the gimbal with a smart phone... and too much hassled to get it sorted out. Do you keep the same settings by not putting the gimbal back in the white zhiyun bag ? Because putting the gimbal back in the bag means you have to make the gimbal smaller which is then take out all the balance settings you had in the first place. Do you just keep the same balance settings and keep the gimbal stand on the table somewhere for next time you use the gimbal so that you dont have to re-balance the gimbal again with the same smart phone ? Just curious about this... Thank you
I like that I can use the Smooth 5 with both my phone and my GoPro, whereas there are videos on RUclips of people using knockoff accessories or rubber bands to keep GoPros on the DJI Osmo 6. I like the flexibility.
Two categories to consider adding. 1. Filmic Pro integration. 2. DJI ecosystem. Being an avid aerial photographer/videographer, it helps a bit that the file names and numbering with Osmo merge with my drone media, though it can take it too far, when you have to check the EXIF data to see what device captured the media. Other than one is @ground level, of course!
Very few of these comparison talks abt the max pan n tilt angle of both. That why I sold mine OM5. Very very limited angle. OM5 great for those who want to walk around to record what they are doing. If want to do more creative shots, really gotta work around the limitations of OM5 or 6. Do go figure out if the pan n tilt limited before u commit to the om6
Check to see if Filmic Pro works with your phone. Filmic pro has native compatibility with zhiyun 5 on Android. I use it with my S21 ultra with no issues.
Hi !!! I can see a Xiaomi mounted on the Smooth 5s, right? I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s and don't figure on the list of accepted mobiles, can you tell me if my phone does it work on it? Thank you so much!
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro I have no clue I was thinking for stability what advice can you give me for taking macro pics on an Iphone 14 pro max. Thank you
Hello, it is really admirable that you are responding to all comments. I had a small question, I will place the order according to your answer. Out of boredom I bought Gopro hero 9, my phone model is 14 pro max. I'm thinking of getting the 15 pro max when the iphone 15 comes out. Do you think it would be more logical to buy for a gimbal that I can use both Gopro and my phone? I think the powerbank feature in Smooth 5 will be very useful for Gopro. Because Gopros charge in 1 hour :(
Good TOYS. In real life I use smartphones with thick shockproof cases or ring/magnet cases. Overviewed gimbals has low depth clamps designed for smartphones without cases or smartphones with slim cases. So best gimbal is Hohem iSteady Multi which has quick release plate, so you can buy and attach proper for thick cases smartphone holder.
Can't make a good push/pull movement filming horizontally with the OM6. Every second of the review the OM6 was in vertical mode when shown and the Zhiyun Smooth 5 was always in horizontal mode. Have seen other reviews of the OM6 when you're filming horizontally and make an up and down movement the phone flaps while the smooth 5 does not, will definitely go for the smooth 5
Would you ever get a pro max size in the future or the battery life and screen size is not worth it for your use cases? I’m curious why only pro size 😅
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro wow you’re the first film making person that has ever mentioned it, cause all the other courses I watch they say bigger screen and bigger battery is better but I actually prefer smaller phones because I have the se2020 and I’m wondering what is a good upgrade thank you!
Do you still use the Zhiyun crane m3 for your smart phone ? i would love to know the percentage how many times you use it compare to other gimbals. You seem to have a big collections. Not sure what you do with all of them :) good work. I wonder if there be a Zhiyun crane m4 ? this year ?
I use it when i am using heavier setups with a case, sometimes I then also use the moza aircross s.. about 50% to 50% I would say. There might be a new one, this one is already 1,5 years old, but I don't know
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro If a new model arrives after Crane M3... it wouldnt be big difference. Only because the Zhiyun Crane M3 still cost quite a lot so the price has not drop down there for the next model might only just be nothing more then just improvement on thhe hardware or the joystick been more better design. But i don't think there be any diferences from the whole body of the gimbal itself. Please wait another 5 years time perhaps there be something more better. Who knows. Its the same with phones... Last years iphone vs this year iphone still looks identical. its all to do with hardware instead..
Overall good review, thank you. My only concern is that you've used iPhone 14Pro which as a pretty decent stabilizer already built in. Using a Xiaomi or something like that, which is unusable without an external stabliler, would have been more illustrative in terms of the actual balancing
Brother, I have a doubt, the phone I am using is an Android phone, can I zoom to the Android phone when I connect the Android phone to gimbal? Zoom out and in options??
How about a category for stereo sound recording? I still have an older Osmo Mobile. The main reason I want to upgrade is because one of the gimbal motors blocks the lightning port so I can’t plug in my mv88 stereo mic, or even a cable to remotely mount the mic to the handle. I couldn’t get a clear enough steady look at the Smooth to see if the lightning port would be blocked. That would be a deal breaker for me. In my opinion video must have stereo audio. If it isn’t possible to record stereo on the phone then I record it with a Zoom H4N Pro. Does the Smooth also have a companion app that adds other functions? There’s another category.
There will be a video coming soon where I go more in depth into recording sound with gimbals.. not that easy unfortunately. You can use filmic pro with the Smooth 5
@SMARTPHONE FILMMAKING PRO that's about the dumbest misuse of a word to sound technical in any industry. Yall could say "weight limit" but some douchenozzle had to make it sound more fancy for marketing. The word "payload" would imply an output of material. For example the "payload" of an assay of ore is the pure metal recovered from the ore in a percentage. "This galina has a silver payload of 3%." Vs "This gimbal has a payload of 300 grams." 300 grams of what, you pretentious twat?! Thanks for the vid. You should really mention the Chinese Spyware issues with the DJI products, it's pretty serious.
Battery life is important, also included software. You seemed to have forgotten them, but overall, very informative. I intend foreign travel so the OM6 wins for it's compactness, and I will like the built in selfie stick.
Both batteries last basically forever.. I never managed to run through a battery in one day with either of them - and I don‘t like/use either of their apps. That‘s why I didn‘t mention these
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro thanks for the reply! Leaning towards the Q4 because of its ability to tilt further compared to OM6. If both were the same price, which would you recommend? Are you aware if the Q4 allows for 60fps filming on the Huawei P30 Pro, I can't seem to find the right answer. Also, would the Q4 be able to support the P30 Pro with a phone case (no other add-ons)?
Nice video, You didn’t bring up range of motion (tilt) DJI can not go from low to high unless you do it from its side. Example walking forward (push) taking phone from just off the floor to above you. Dji can’t do it. As to the spin.. how often do we actually use that? Portability doesn’t really matter they are both portable. The case is nicer than the bag. Smooth five easily wins in my book.
true - i forgot this in that comparison vid - In the new one where i compare the smooth 5s to the om6 i have covered this. Smooth 5 is the winner for me too
Hello! I am new to gimbals and have the Osmo 6. I can’t seem to find the link for your free webinar, there is nowhere that I can click. Could you please post the link? Thank you so much! Love your videos, have watched 3 so far.
Hello, Which one would you recommend between zhiyun smooth q4 vs dji osmo 6 for Samsung Galaxy ultra S22. In terms of modes and stability? Love your videos!! 😊
@@chefundercover smooth 5 seems a little heavy for me. Compared to the more compact ones like smooth q4 or osmo 6. Which is why I wanted a comparison between these 2. Unfortunately there are no videos comparing these 2 online.
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Tks Julian, however, they do not mention if we are able to use IPHONE PRO MAX with case in the Q4 mount or not.. Should we to get off the case in order be able to use Q4??
Since the Zhiyun crane M3 i think only runs 8 hours to funtion.. i will only be using a smart phone and nothing else with it. If i want more power during a long live stream out there.. Can i charge the gimbal using a power-bank with a cable attatch to the gimbal and to the power-bank charger while im on the move out there ? So lets say im live streaming but i want constant power on the gimbal and also on the phone. I could attatch a cable to the phone to the gimbal to charge the phone battery while same time charge to gimbal with a power-bank.... So if i want hours of power between the smart phone and the gimbal. Both needs to have enough power... so can i charge both items at the same time while the phone is attatch to the gimbal? thanks
So there is no “L” locked mode on the om6? I need a smaller gimbal for traveling as the zhiyun smooth 5 is pretty big and I hardly ever use a iPhone lens.. but I do use the Locked mode 9 times out of 10. Is there a way to lock the om6? Maybe hold the back trigger etc?
is the dji om 6 compatible with the iPhone 13 mini? if you google it, it tells you: It is recommended to use smartphones with a width of 67-84 mm. The iPhone 13mini is 64.2 mm wide. But you find the same recommended width for the dji om 5 even though the om 5 and the iPhone 13 mini are compatible...
I noticed that you are using DJI only for vertical shoot and zhiyun for horizontal shoot. Can you pls let me know whether zhiyun can be used for vertical shoots for insta reels??
Since the Osmo 6 payload is 290g, is it still usable for my setup which is around 310g (iPhone14 Pro, glass protector, case and magnet car mount)? Like does this gimbal has any tolerance for the extra weight? I’ve never used a gimbal before.
I honestly think, they look like they work like previous versions, it's the in phone stabilization that has improved so much over the years. What if you put a budget phone phone without stabilization on it and see the result.
@@smartphonefilmmakingproMany thanks for your suggestion! But I bought a OM6 considering portability and availability in India. It's working fine with Note 20 as well as my Pixel

hows the experience going with it :)
How the gimbal is going on @ZenyWorld?
I am in the process of buying a gimbal (for the first time) and this video has definitely helped me to narrow down my choice. Thank you very much.
As a traveler who likes to try and travel light/minimal, the pack down size of the OM6 alone makes it the winner for me.
makes a lot of sense!
DJI has lights on a clamp, also DJI has a counter weight to assist when using lens and filters
But still has a weight factor and batter life gets worse the heavier load it has to balance
It's those little things in the OM6 that takes the cake for me! Say the OM6's quick vertical to horizontal orientation switch. It may look like just a simple feature but it's pretty convenient and basically a most used function.
Great! I think it‘s different things for everyone.
I disagree most people will either be filming in one the other. Tik tok or you tube, rarely going back and forth in production, well me anyway.

Can I use the om 6 with my 14 pro max
theoretically yes
Is OM6 good for iphone14 pro max?
I wouldn't pick that! Zhiyun has just announced the Smooth 5S check that out!
Does the zoom wheel work when doing a Facebook live video?
Nice video, You didn’t bring up range of motion (tilt) DJI can not go from low to high unless you do it from its side. Example walking forward (push) taking phone from just off the floor to above you. Dji can’t do it. As to the spin.. how often do we actually use that? Portability doesn’t really matter they are both portable. The case is nicer than the bag. Smooth five easily wins in my book.
true - i forgot this in that comparison vid - In the new one where i compare the smooth 5s to the om6 i have covered this. Smooth 5 is the winner for me too
I really hesitate... dji om 6 or smooth 5 or q4!! Help... for (rc crawler vidéo... and some fun with my kid...)
Will the Zhiyum 5 take a note 8 with a case?
Pretty sure it will, but see if it‘s below 300 grams
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro ok thanks
What about a recommendation for a wireless mic for the smooth like the OM 6 has?
Hello! I am new to gimbals and have the Osmo 6. I can’t seem to find the link for your free webinar, there is nowhere that I can click. Could you please post the link? Thank you so much! Love your videos, have watched 3 so far.
sure! www.smartphonefilmmakingpro.com/register-webinar-oryt
Does the dji fit iPhone 13 Pro max
with no add ons it should work
That was really informative review!
Super glad it helped!
Was hoping for om6 vs q4 - no video on that one
Do either of these work with ProCam 8 or be able to work without pairing with another app?
Filmic Pro for example works with both
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro does it? Haven't seen any filmic pro support for the OM6
Obviously DJI 😍😍
Hi, do you know if Zhiyun works for Samsung S22 Ultra?
Sure why wouldn't it? When it comes to the native app support I don't know, but the gimbal will definitely work with any phone
Hello,
Which one would you recommend between zhiyun smooth q4 vs dji osmo 6 for Samsung Galaxy ultra S22. In terms of modes and stability?
Love your videos!! 😊
What about smooth 5 and osmo 6. Which would be better?
@@chefundercover smooth 5 seems a little heavy for me. Compared to the more compact ones like smooth q4 or osmo 6. Which is why I wanted a comparison between these 2. Unfortunately there are no videos comparing these 2 online.
Can you get either to work their tracking with zoom on your computer?
i would not know how this works sorry
Julian, what about the Q4? It does very similar or closer job compared to SMOOTH 5 and OM6???
I have a bunch of videos on the q4 here on the channel
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Tks Julian, however, they do not mention if we are able to use IPHONE PRO MAX with case in the Q4 mount or not.. Should we to get off the case in order be able to use Q4??
Since the Zhiyun crane M3 i think only runs 8 hours to funtion.. i will only be using a smart phone and nothing else with it. If i want more power during a long live stream out there.. Can i charge the gimbal using a power-bank with a cable attatch to the gimbal and to the power-bank charger while im on the move out there ? So lets say im live streaming but i want constant power on the gimbal and also on the phone. I could attatch a cable to the phone to the gimbal to charge the phone battery while same time charge to gimbal with a power-bank.... So if i want hours of power between the smart phone and the gimbal. Both needs to have enough power... so can i charge both items at the same time while the phone is attatch to the gimbal? thanks
If the phone with cable to charge, there maybe hard to balance it on the gimbal. I am not sure.
So there is no “L” locked mode on the om6? I need a smaller gimbal for traveling as the zhiyun smooth 5 is pretty big and I hardly ever use a iPhone lens.. but I do use the Locked mode 9 times out of 10. Is there a way to lock the om6? Maybe hold the back trigger etc?
There is you need to press the button at the back constantly. I have a video about in on my channel „hidden L button on dji“
is the dji om 6 compatible with the iPhone 13 mini? if you google it, it tells you: It is recommended to use smartphones with a width of 67-84 mm. The iPhone 13mini is 64.2 mm wide. But you find the same recommended width for the dji om 5 even though the om 5 and the iPhone 13 mini are compatible...
if the 13 mini works with the om5 it will wotk with the om6.. I don't have a mini so I can't 100% say -
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro i‘ve seen some reviews where they used the mini with the om 5 so i am pretty sure that it should work.
@@matteodietz9759 perfect! then go for it
You completely missed the tilt angle which is a massive deal breaker. Try a crane shot with the DJI.
Use it with mid range phones that have no OIS...
when zhiyun smooth 6 will released? i think it will include an automatic vertical and horizontal button
Smooth 5S has been released a few days ago!
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro but still manually to change orientation
there is a light for the OM6, its a magnet clip that has a light on it.
True, just very expensive!
I noticed that you are using DJI only for vertical shoot and zhiyun for horizontal shoot. Can you pls let me know whether zhiyun can be used for vertical shoots for insta reels??
Both can be used horizontally and vertically
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Thank you😊 Love from India ♥️
Since the Osmo 6 payload is 290g, is it still usable for my setup which is around 310g (iPhone14 Pro, glass protector, case and magnet car mount)? Like does this gimbal has any tolerance for the extra weight? I’ve never used a gimbal before.
I guess you have answered the question yourself.. no this won't work
I honestly think, they look like they work like previous versions, it's the in phone stabilization that has improved so much over the years.
What if you put a budget phone phone without stabilization on it and see the result.
I need a gimble simply to use for live streaming via Facebook mainly! So need an external mic - what’s the best solution!
I have a rode mic already! So clamps etc
Do you need the tracking feature?
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro not really! For other footage yes, i just need some stability! Thanks for getting black to me
Amazing comparison video bro, categorised basis all functionalities. Which one is better for Samsung Note 20 Ultra with UAG case on?
definitely the smooth 5
@@smartphonefilmmakingproMany thanks for your suggestion! But I bought a OM6 considering portability and availability in India. It's working fine with Note 20 as well as my Pixel
