A friend and former client gave me one of these yesterday and I was struggling to figure out how to use it. Your tutorial helped immensely and I'm stoked to use this new tool! Thank you!
Hands-down the best video on this product. You just saved the company a return I was going bonkers on how to get this damn product stabilized. You were the only one that didn’t act like it just happened when it came out of the box. You showing that it had to be even between the braces was exactly what I needed thank you thank you!!!!
THANK YOU! I bought this for shooting home tours for virtual open houses during the COVID-19 crisis. I really needed a tutorial of how it works, and you explained it perfectly. Saved me lots of headache. Thanks!!
Amazing video!! I have had my Smooth Q for years now and could never figure out how it worked. We are going on vacation which prompted me to give it another go. Your video was invaluable!! Thank you!
Great job. Very clear, very straight forward, and really comprehensive. Congratulations on a job well done. I get soooo tired of all of the wannabe rock stars who talk so freaking fast that one has to replay it in order to understand. Thank you.
I bought one online an i thought it was broken. Its kept doing its own thing when powered on but i had it upside down the whole time. That orientation knowledge was golden for me. Works perfect now
Thank you so much for this! Seriously, I've been struggling and your description/tutorial was simple, concise, and finally got my wobbly Smooth Q to straighten out
Thank you for this! I was losing my mind figuring out how to balance this thing. Great tutorial. I also vote for the goose to make a cameo in every vid.
Thanks for the great quick refresher on this product. I got it 5 years ago and never really did much with it. Was wondering if it would work with my iPhone 12 Pro max, and it does.
Thank you!! I'm a brand new gimbal user. Allot of videos teaching how to get different shots. But this is the only video with basic setup. You helped me SO much! Subscribed💛
Thank you for this! I could not get the thing to balance and I watched 5 other videos before I found you. Obviously I am new to this device and you have the best overview of how to set up. Again, thank you.
Just got my Smooth Q as it's one of the few to fit the Galaxy Note 8. Thanks for the setup help, you turned what was looking like a potential frustration into an easy transition. Great setup and operation mode explainations Sir!
Mine hasn't arrived yet, but a little research goes a long way, @6:22 The zoom part you mentioned is just the basic mode (a quick finder to get you started), you can get smooth zoom to work with the app. As most have mentioned excellent vid, which I have saved for future watches, like the other parts to this, so thanks for this vid, very informative.
Thank you so much for doing this video probably save me an entire weekend of hunting down suggestions exact wording to get the thing to work correctly very nicely done I’ll look forward to more of your videos
Just got one of these for Christmas. I know it's more of a phone gimbal but I'm going to try and use it with my GoPro Hero 7 Black with Hypersmooth. The instructions in the box are useless, thanks for a very informative tutorial man!!
Great video. Very helpful. At first when I saw your intro I thought this was going to be one of those awful videos with no narration and bad music! lol. Thanks! Nice job.
I had my smooth Q since September and it is only now that I understand how to use it. Every time I attempt to use it, I ended up no using it at all. Haha! Thank you.
It appeared to be perfect. When I put my Note on it with its protective Spigen case, the motor kept "giving up" and the phone would sag/drop. I had to reboot (power on & then off) the device, reconnect it to the Bluetooth, and try again. I never got it to work like I liked. Here was a lot of hassle and when you're filming you son play football, you need to be ready at all time. I decided to send it back. Build quality is good. No joystick action with the action button. Will borrow another brand from a buddy and see if that can hold up my big-as* phone.
Really good into to the smooth q - thanks for taking the time to upload. Got mine in today, and you helped make things a lot clearer with the set up and basic functions. Many thanks!
Best Goose photo bomb ever lol. Or video bomb. You know what I mean. Great intro to the smoothq I had to watch your video to remember the settings lol 🤗🎄🌲🎄Happy holidays bud.
Hello. I bought a smooth q today at Best Buy. $85.73 grand total! So not bad. I have a iPhone XS Max (apples biggest phone in terms of size, dimensions etc) my problem is balancing my phone on my smooth q. If I could only extend the arm a tad bit farther I know it would be balanced well....only off by maybe a 3/16” . I feel my only concern is that the motors would wear out faster be it that it is a slightly heavy phone and just slightly off balanced. The instruction manual did mention motor wear do to this...but I imagine that’s only if phone is very unbalanced. Should this concern me? Once powered it balances out perfect and I don’t notice anything out of the norm. I should state also that this is my first gimbal and just want to get the best out of this product unless there’s something else in the market for a beginner like myself with my current phone. I appreciate your input and videos! as to why I chose to go buy one today (Labor day)! Thank you!
Great. I was starting to get annoyed at not being able to make it do what I wanted. It's not rocket science but this video made it all click for me. Much obliged.
Great tutorial. I have suggestions for further tutorial. 1. Camparison of using Zhiyun app vs Built in Camera vs. 3rd Party Camera apps. 2. What mode works best for what situation? Sports/Hiking/etc. Great job keep up the great work.
thanks for this review. just following up if you've come across a newer better way to shoulder strap a camera? I'm looking for ways to mount my Smooth Q gimbal on shoulder straps for hiking/travel vlog purpose only. Thanks and have a Wonderful Day
Hi, I'm finally getting around to using my smooth Q and thank you for posting the video! I got many of the things to work out of the box, which is surprising for me. Then I boxed it.
Hey nice Vlog. Zhiyun sounds really cool. Why is the DJI gimble so much more expensive? The Zhiyun is definitely more in the price bracket that I can afford.
Hi mate! I have an Iphone8plus and a Smooth Q. How can i calibrate it? The camera is a few grades uncalibrated. I have to make some weight with my finger to calibrate it, but when I take off my finger it returns to that uncalibrated position. Help please
This is a great video but I’m still pretty lost when using it. Seems I’m always guessing which mode I’m in. Once you hit twice to enter full follow mode, how do you get out of it? And I’ll hit 3 times for selfie mode but nothing will happen, then I hit it once or twice more and it goes into selfie mode. Not sure why I’m not getting this.
You earned a new subscriber with me. Great tutorial. I have one question though, how will I charge it. I currently have this. The box only comes with a cord but it doesn't have its own socket. Can I use my samsung s6 edge socket to charge it? Please reply asap. Thanks.
Just what I needed thx bud!! (i made the setup mistake not having the logo up and could not figure out why the arm kept swinging around and hitting the base lol)
Thank you for this explanation. I first thought that the gimbal didn't work, but after seeing this video I put it up correctly (checking the logos/writings) and now it seems to work. I have troubles with the mode selection. If I click MODE once or twice it does not do anything (as far as I can see). Only the selfy mode works, but I'm not to sure if I'm always in the shot when moving the gimbal around. Do you have tricks/tests one can do to check if the gimbal enters a desired mode?
A friend and former client gave me one of these yesterday and I was struggling to figure out how to use it. Your tutorial helped immensely and I'm stoked to use this new tool! Thank you!
After 2 year of having smooth Q and keep it in the bag because I couldn't figure how to balance it! now I can use it finally. BIG THANK FOR YOU.
Hands-down the best video on this product. You just saved the company a return I was going bonkers on how to get this damn product stabilized.

😀The BEST Breakdown! Good Looking Out My Brother!😅

Thank you for this! I was losing my mind figuring out how to balance this thing. Great tutorial. I also vote for the goose to make a cameo in every vid.
Your video is better than the instructions that come with the Smooth Q! 👍
This was really helpful. A lot of people said it wouldn't work with the note 10+, but This mount still works with the Samsung Note 10+
This is the clearest explanation of the modes I have found - thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Just bought this tonight and this video was a great help. Sometimes seeing it being done is better than just reading.
Thanks for the tutorial. I just bought one off eBay and it had no instructions included. Ready to get practicing with this for some mobile films.
Thanks for the great quick refresher on this product. I got it 5 years ago and never really did much with it. Was wondering if it would work with my iPhone 12 Pro max, and it does.
great vid, figured it out in 1 click! did not want to spend half hour clicking on 10 different links to learn how to do the basics.
Really good review, I appreciate you taking the time to upload the video. Thanks good job.
Agreed. Great review!
Zhiyun/Smooth Q should sponsor you or something for making such a clear tutorial.
Great job. I was wondering if the zoom is different with an iPhone? Trying to decide between Osmo and this Thanx
Bruh this may be the best tutorial i've ever seen on RUclips for anything. 💯💪🏾✊🏾
Your co-host made this that much better
Thank you!! I'm a brand new gimbal user. Allot of videos teaching how to get different shots. But this is the only video with basic setup. You helped me SO much! Subscribed💛
It's great to see guys like you doing high quality work.. I'm trying to get there..
Excellent instructional posting on this gimbal. I just purchased one of these and haven’t received yet.Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for this! I could not get the thing to balance and I watched 5 other videos before I found you. Obviously I am new to this device and you have the best overview of how to set up. Again, thank you.
Wow, you really do a great job man. You set a great example as to how a review should be done. Very articulate, knowledgeable and to the point!
Just got my Smooth Q as it's one of the few to fit the Galaxy Note 8. Thanks for the setup help, you turned what was looking like a potential frustration into an easy transition. Great setup and operation mode explainations Sir!
lifesaver, man. I couldn't figure out my thing because I'm a rookie. Now I can use it!
Mine hasn't arrived yet, but a little research goes a long way, @6:22 The zoom part you mentioned is just the basic mode (a quick finder to get you started), you can get smooth zoom to work with the app. As most have mentioned excellent vid, which I have saved for future watches, like the other parts to this, so thanks for this vid, very informative.

Nice tip for the starter orientation! Lot's of video's around of people having just that problem, thanks!
This is by far the best and simple review but easy to follow the walkthrough and tips. Thank you man!
Great and straight forward video. Keep up the good work man!
Thanks for this man, had this for a while and now it’s when I’m actually using it, but this helped me out.
This video is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!

Green Spaces hi. were you able to use it for your gopro?
ok havent figured out yet but this is by far the best explanation on how to calibrate. at least now its not beating itselt against it's handle anymore
This is so much easier than reading the manual! Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorials. I just bought this gimbal and am still learning all the tricks.
Great video. Very helpful. At first when I saw your intro I thought this was going to be one of those awful videos with no narration and bad music! lol. Thanks! Nice job.
We were VERY nervous about those GEESE bro.. You're BRAVE af! lol..
Thank you Sir for the effort inn putting up this video. It was the simplest, no-nonsense, quick start. The manual that comes with it is too thorough.
I had my smooth Q since September and it is only now that I understand how to use it. Every time I attempt to use it, I ended up no using it at all. Haha! Thank you.
Best explanation I've seen to date, thank you so much.
Best review by far. Kept it simple and didn’t waste my time👍🏼
It appeared to be perfect. When I put my Note on it with its protective Spigen case, the motor kept "giving up" and the phone would sag/drop.

Thank god for you and the orientation instruction! I thought I had broke mine. Very good descriptions.
Thanks so much sir. Completely lost until I saw your video
This was a GREAT review. Detailed and clear
Really good into to the smooth q - thanks for taking the time to upload. Got mine in today, and you helped make things a lot clearer with the set up and basic functions. Many thanks!

As a novice Q owner I found your video invaluable thanx for sharing mate subbed

LOL, your part 2 covers most of this.
Awesome review!
Thanks man great simple video tutorial . Just got this for my trip next month. Watching the app video next.

Thanks man, I couldn’t not find the standy settings in the manual !
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
thanks... the logo right side up was really helpful!!!
Hey nice Vlog. Zhiyun sounds really cool. Why is the DJI gimble so much more expensive? The Zhiyun is definitely more in the price bracket that I can afford.
thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial! Cant decide if I should go with this or the new DIJI Osmo 2
Bro... What did u record this with? And what do you do with the Gimbal if the battery can't hold charge anymore? Tnx
Really info just got mine too, I couldn’t make run but thanks to you I now am able 😎👍
Great video. You helped me out a lot. Read the book two time then headed here. I look forward to using this gamble in future videos.
Really good stuff. I am about to take it up to the pond, with the pixel-2xl, and see what she does. Should be fun!
Thank you for that video. I just literally got this today and you summarized the usage for me very nicely! Thanks again! 👍
Outstanding tutorial-thank you! Liked and subscribed!
Fantastic job on the video!!! My gimbal is up and running amazingly well !! Thank you for the vid & info!!!
Great tutorial man! Best one on youtube... Subscribed!

Thanks for this video! Very helpful, simple and straight to the point.
Great tutorial exactly what I needed to see/know thank you!!

You can use any random wall socket or your computer to charge it.
Great job on the tutorial, thanks for creating and sharing!
Can you record your face with the back camera? Because I’m always making vlogs with the back camera!
I’m not sure if it works🤔helpppp🙏🏼
THANK YOU! This is absolutely the best explanation of this thing I have seen. I was lost before this video.
This was awesome! Thank you so much. I was just about to give up on the thing!
Just what I needed thx bud!! (i made the setup mistake not having the logo up and could not figure out why the arm kept swinging around and hitting the base lol)
Thanks man for this very nice tutorial video. Helped me a lot. Thumbs up
This hommie knows a lot
I've had the Smooth Q for a month, and you've given me some good tips. Thanks for the video!
