Hi nice perfect tutorial your video. Too many videos in yotube same basic setup but there is so many functions inside why people don’t teach about function thank you

Hi. I purchased this gimbal a week ago and i can say that this is AWESOME! However, i have a minor problem (i can say 😅). I am able to “balance” my fone but my fone is facing downward HAHA and when i turn on the gimbal, it will automatically face upright as shown in the video. I hope you can help me. 😊 Thank you and more power. 👍🏻
Hey Ian, I'm having trouble switching between my front and rear cameras while filming. Is that not possible or am I doing it wrong by just tapping the left radial button down like you to to switch cameras before capturing video?
Is it available a Lightning to Micro USB-B cable short cable for charging the iPhone while shooting? I have to use an adaptor female USB-A to Micro USB-B and it is not the best solution.
I assume you got this by now , but I just purchased the smooth 4, and this was not easy. Key item is to go into security settings and to firewall to allow.
Hello, In my phone, on the SCENE mode, I have a gimbal mode besides de walking and motion modes. Is this feature just added as update? Does this works better than the other ones? Thanks

I do as well Roberto - I am looking around the net to see what that is.
Really useful. Thanks. I use Filmic Pro with my Huawei Mate 20 Pro, but it is not fully compatible. May switch to ZY play App .Any opinions on that one? Cheers
I download the app an year ago, accidentally I erased it, now I can´t download it, it says that my mobile phone is not compatible, what can I do? HELP PLEASE!!!
Two things that I don't like, you can't go LIVE to facebook/youtube using the APP. the second is related since you can't go LIVE and use the follow target feature.
Just got mine today, but the app looks totally different on my phone...seems like there's probably been an update since this video came out, and there's definitely been an iOS update in that time as well. So, perhaps a few things have changed? An updated tutorial would be much appreciated!
nice video...I just got my hands on this bad boy. Im trying to use my 1080p 60fps in the YZ APP but it, only gives me 1080p 30 fps option. Im using the Galaxy s8 plus; also i can't turn the stabilization ON...can you help me to set it up right, please...THANKS...
Sorry LUY T, I just have an iPhone, so not able to test a Galaxy s8 plus, as far as I know, Andriod user can use FlimPro App, it would have better support
Hi! I just got my smooth 4. When I check the settings from the menu, I don't have that "Zoom Sen". Is there an update where I can get that Zoom Sen? BTW, I'm using Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
Hi, Have you found the Focus button on the left side of the video button? Press it, and make it turn Blue, then you can use dial ring to control Zoom function with ZY play App.

Hi! I just bought the smooth 4 but I noticed when I use the phone go mode the motor is struggling, its not smooth its like bumpy or in “other term its hard it need lubricants to smooth it out” any idea
I read that if the motor is making noise, or you can feel it working harder than it should, which it would make noise I believe if it is over working, the problem may be that your phone is not balanced on the gimbal. I have also read that if this is happening and you have a case on your phone, the case could be the probably, and you may need to remove the case. If you need a case, you may need to add a small weight to the gimbal to assist in the balance. Summary, motor noise is most likely from not being well balanced on the gimbal.
#ianz please help. My huwaei niva 2i shows smooth 4 device does not support my phone model. Though i see some youtubers that they are using their huaweii nova 2i on their smooth 4. Would you know How can I make my nova 2i work with smooth 4 thanks

Oops, App can be downloaded from Google Play or Apple App store, it has an overseas version. Maybe you can register a USA google account or Apple ID so you can get the ZY Play App
Doesn't work- using iphone8plus- it leans to the left for me-also object tracking not working- I draw box around my face with glassess and it immediately pivits the other direction with me not even in frame?
"ZY PLAY" app is useless. Video is stuttering, focusing all the time. Much better results with phone camera app: it makes obsolete all buttons (except PF/L and front two buttons).
Wayyyyy to fast I have to play every 2-second lesson three times, and often I still don't understand what you're trying to teach. You need to take a class that teaches teaching, because you assume your audience is following you, but you aren't employing any techniques to make certain of it. Really frustrating video - I don't recommend it.
Epic delivery! Worthy of emulation! Great information, too. Thank you.
Really agree. Great tutorial Ian!
Got mine today for my trip to Mexico! Easiest tutorial and not a waste of time with extra info good job!

Hey Ian, I'm having trouble switching between my front and rear cameras while filming. Is that not possible or am I doing it wrong by just tapping the left radial button down like you to to switch cameras before capturing video?
Hi Jason, it can't support switching between my front and rear cameras while filming, you need to stop recording before switching.
Clear explanation
Phone Go mode does not seem to work on mine...what could I be doing wrong? The phone is all over the place.
Hi Jason nice video, my mobile clamp ( holder) locked can you please tell how to unlock it.
Hello when I use my Gimbal I can't seem to record the sound
I can't get my gimble to connect to my Bluetooth on my phone. I have the smooth 4, Says "app needed" and I have the ZY play app downloaded. Help
Just a Gimbal from Ebay, and I've noticed, I don't have a filter sign on my screen and also when I Zoom it becomes very fuzzy, should it be like that?
Hi, I have an iPhone, and the Zoom is Smooth, not sure if you are an android user.
@@ianhavingfun yea I have a Samsung Galaxy S8. Does it not work well with Andriods. ? Cus the zooming out it becomes very fuzzy.
Is it available a Lightning to Micro USB-B cable short cable for charging the iPhone while shooting? I have to use an adaptor female USB-A to Micro USB-B and it is not the best solution.
Yes, there is a Lightning to Micro USB-B cable, you can contact Smooth 4 facebook and send them a message to get one :facebook.com/Zhiyun.Smooth.4/

Two things that I don't like, you can't go LIVE to facebook/youtube using the APP. the second is related since you can't go LIVE and use the follow target feature.
My smooth 4 since i unboxed, in horizontal level always tilt to right aide around 20 degree. When u go vertical it comes back to center.
