lastdimestudios oh the purchase has already been made by people and they just clicked on the video just to know how cool their newly bought Smooth 4 is.
Thanks so much for the video. Can you help us with a function of taking pictures without making any click sound in a silent event? We have Samsung Note 8. Eagerly waiting for your reply. Regards, ChessBase India
Everybody knows that all functions are working on the iphone, can you do a test going through all features for the Android, I have the S9+ My main concern is being able to shoot video in 4K using the app, and the auto tracking.. Which ever gimbal can do the above will be getting my money. Which gimbal is really the best for the Android ?
Is this with the latest update on the app ? Thank you for testing, I did notice that the zoom/focus wheel works the same as on the phone, a step focus/zoom, not a smooth zoom or focus. So in my findings, if i want to use a gimbal on a Android to smooth out video, get a cheap one, because your going to limit the function of your camera by using the Z play app.
I have problem with zhiyun gimbal 4.. How to recenter the line grid because its no the same as smooth Q gimbal.. There is no joystick to move manually the Axis
Not anymore... The wheel cause crashes/freezes (again?) on android devices? I have a Zenfone 3, but I've read other reviews on the google play store as well. Users have the same problem.
Not all function work on my note 8 just 1080 30fps no 4k recording no long shuttle speed can't used the joy stick to navigate in the menu have to used manually..hope they update it soon..best used with ios all function working even with iphone 6..so sad
This firmware is done automatically or it must be downloaded and installed. I have Samsung S9 + on the go but I have a gimbal :) This firmware is all or just comes in. Some days I get my phone. If until May 16, 2018 does not work at least 95% of the functions, they make a return. I expire the 15 days to return them.Tnx.
The app is in play store..the zoom and focus function is working well you have to test it side by side with ios and Android then you will see the difference..
I have a Huawei P20 pro according to the zhiyun page is compatible with the model but I can not get the configuration to take me the 60fps that the phone has in 1080p only takes me 30fps in 720, 1080 and 4k
Im new to using gimbles. I have a note 8. The question i have is...are you supposed to be able to pan and tilt with the gimble? If you cant, whats the real point if you dont have control over it with the pad and have to manually move you arm around?
I was particularly interested in your Android compatibility tests. My Samsung Galaxy A71 has not been able to pair with the Zhiyung Smooth 4 gimbal. Perhaps Zhiyung is working on a suitable update?
I am having issues with the zoom function which means the vertigo feature isn't working. The zoom is jumping when I turn the wheel and is very glitchy. I am using a OnePlus 5t How do I fix this?
Bom dia, eu usava o app zy play no meu celular (moto G6 play) mas fui instalar o app novamente e só acusa que o aparelho não é compatível. Alguém poderia me ajudar. Obrigada!!
It is still som bugs on the android app. (Galaxy S7). Motionlapse when sets the points. The motors not lets me to point the phone. And it drops some functions and it needs to restart the software. And the objekt traceing is not good. but hop its gets better. But how to do Hyperlapse?
Can u help me with my smooth 4 ? Problem is im using samsung s8plus and the app says like i can record in only 1080p ... should be 4k to choose but its missing . Can i set it some how ?
So absolutely nowhere can I find out if this gimble is compatible with Honor 10 lite (Haiwei) Android 10 operating. Cannot post question to either manufacturer (no facilities). No joy on Amazon questions either. Won't splash the cash until I find out. Can you guys help?
That is true, but the Gimbal Firmware update is 1.76. He states he got a new firmware and not software. According to reviews on the Play store, even the 1.9.3 app is not good enough so I was hoping for a newer firmware that allowed android to work better. The Bluetooth communication is on the firmware side as written in their release notes. Therefore I wonder if those people complaining on the Play store do not have the correct firmware and that is causing them to lambaste the software. BTW: My gimbal is on the way to me so I can´t test.
You are right. Now I understand. This firmware is done automatically or it must be downloaded and installed. I have Samsung S9 + on the go but I have a gimbal :) This firmware is all or just comes in. Some days I get my phone. If until May 16, 2018 does not work at least 95% of the functions, they make a return. I expire the 15 days to return them.
You have to download the firmware and the firmware updater from the Zhiyun site. This is just typical nowadays when everything you buy is a beta product. The download page is here: www.zhiyun-tech.com/smooth4?from=download you need to download both the Firmware, drivers and Calibration upgrade tool (I think, I can´t test it though). With the calibration upgrade tool you can check on the current firmware of the gimbal and then upgrade it.
i really dont understand why you said everything is working. i think you recorded white background on purpose. didnt you? latest update zy app is not working at all
I am using one plus 5 and bought this smooth 4 yesterday. I am facing trouble with the motion time lapse option. The gimbal keeps on moving after setting the waypoints but the video recording fails and the application crashes. Need a fix for that. Similarly the 3x3 pano does not work, although the gimbal moves as it should but the app does not stitch anything. So far i can only use it for normal video and a 180 panorama. Cant use the full functionality of this device unless they fix the application. Personally Disappointed at my decision.
All these companies are shitting out their variations of gimbals! The software for my lgg6 works horribly with the smooth 4. Very laggy in all directions and it's functions.
Thank you for the info. I could not get my note 8 to sync with the Smooth 4. Not until I watched your video. It did not dawn to me that all I had to do is press the bluetooth icon for the Smooth 4. You made it so plain. I thought I had to send it back. Thanks again for explaining it in the compatibility test.
The zooming with S8+ phone is jerky. Not usable at all. Is this the same with other Android models and with iPhone as well. I noticed from some other RUclips videos that zooming looks rather smooth on iPhone
Thanks as usual for an informative video. But besides the obvious firmware version, it would also be nice if you could tell us the version of android you were using on each phone.... Also, a comparison with a phone on android 7 and another on android 8, would be the icing on the cake.
tengo un Huawei P20 pro según la pagina de zhiyun es compatible el modelo pero no puedo lograr que en la configuración me tome los 60fps que tiene el teléfono en 1080p solamente me toma 30fps en 720, en 1080 y en 4k I have a Huawei P20 pro according to the zhiyun page is compatible with the model but I can not get the configuration to take me the 60fps that the phone has in 1080p only takes me 30fps in 720, 1080 and 4k
bro, can you confirm that latest ZY Play app still does not support 1080p60 and 4k 30 fps on Galaxy S8? This will make or break my decision to buy a Zhiyun gimbal
Hello everybody! Got my Smooth 4 last monday. It does NOT support 4k Video on my Samsung S8 and my wife's Huawei Mate 9, also the soom function is choppy on both phones !!!! A gimbal dedicated to film makers ?!?!?!?!?!? Too frustrated to check the other features !!!!

Thanks for doing the video, but just connecting on Bluetooth isn't a very high bar. Like others have said, what we really want to know is does the Android XY app work the same as the IOS app. Do that comparison and you'll get a lot more likes
works fine with my huawei p20 lite also, except for zooming seems to be not very smooth. Still a pretty new user to the product, so i might have more to add later :-) But let`s hope not.

YourTechGuide Hello, is it compatible with Sony Xperia XZ Premium or XZ1?
May i ask why other huaweii nova 2 i is working with smooth 4 but mine shows device does not support. Please help thanks
Is it compatible for huwawi mate 10?
This is a turn on test only! I wouldn't use this video to make a purchase decision or prepare for features not to work.
lastdimestudios oh the purchase has already been made by people and they just clicked on the video just to know how cool their newly bought Smooth 4 is.
Most of the features doesn't work for android. Waste of money.

Nice man, but you have to try changing resolution and other stuff like hyperlapse etc... Can you do that test?
Everybody knows that all functions are working on the iphone, can you do a test going through all features for the Android, I have the S9+ My main concern is being able to shoot video in 4K using the app, and the auto tracking..
Which ever gimbal can do the above will be getting my money. Which gimbal is really the best for the Android ?
Slimjim did you find anything thats optimal for the s9+?
I heard the Z Play app had an update which fixed a few things, but haven't seen a review on the update for the android systems yet.
Is this with the latest update on the app ?
Thank you for testing, I did notice that the zoom/focus wheel works the same as on the phone,
a step focus/zoom, not a smooth zoom or focus.
So in my findings, if i want to use a gimbal on a Android to smooth out video,
get a cheap one, because your going to limit the function of your camera by using the Z play app.
Slimjim agree
Yes you can even at 60 fps in 4k. I have done it.
what about framerate and resolution? I saw some comment recently which said app does not allow to record in 60fps. and 4k...
Does the app support 60 fps video resolution in the video settings with the Samsung phones.? Please check that and reply
I wonder if the LG V40 would work because of the placement of the Google assistant button?
4k? Pano? Smooth zoom?tracking?hyper timelaps?
Why are you using the zoom option on a white background? Its not smooth on android, works on my iPhone
Can this gimbal will take vortex shoot or inception mode and dolly zone shoot or vertigo mode
Wonder if this works with Moto phones like Moto G7
I need that info too

This is very good news, but can you tell us what FW version you were running ? The latest from Zhiyun is 1.76 on their website since the 4th of May

how about samsung s6 edge...i really need your reply because i am planning to buy this gimbal...thank you..
Does anyone know a good alternative to this for Androids (specifically the Galaxy note 8) that supports 4k and 60fps?
Is the Zhiyun Smooth 4 compatible with my Oppo F11?
All these companies are shitting out their variations of gimbals! The software for my lgg6 works horribly with the smooth 4. Very laggy in all directions and it's functions.
One plus devices have issues when you change the camara back and front especially in one plus 6 I am facing issues
Sorry, not really a clear explanation.
Some tests that you can not notice, why not a newspaper as a background.

Its great that the update worked. How about the smoothness of the zoom for Android? That was a bit of a deal breaker for me.
With big phones that do not balance and lean to the side will have a red light error and shut off.
Is it compatible with LG6?
Could this work For lg v30?
Pixel 2 XL refuses to record in 4k on the application.
With my S8+ I only can use 720p and 1080p with 30fps, that's really annoying. But with the S9(+) I think 1080p and 60fps is possible, is it?

it is not work with honor 8x
How about samsung s8+?
i dont think everything is working...you only showed blank white screen and there is no way to see if it's working or not. actually I purchased after this video and find out that dial is not working with my note8. you didnt know that?
wonseok seo yes mine is not smooth in any way with my l66g. I am very pissed off at this.
pls do a full test on any android phone..and do a test on the focus tracking function as well..
Good morning. One question: Can the Oneplus 5t record at 1080p 60fps with the app XY PLAY? Thanks
Compatible avec XS Max ?
Thanks for doing the video, but just connecting on Bluetooth isn't a very high bar. Like others have said, what we really want to know is does the Android XY app work the same as the IOS app. Do that comparison and you'll get a lot more likes
Can you please test LG g7 thinQ
works fine with my huawei p20 lite also, except for zooming seems to be not very smooth. Still a pretty new user to the product, so i might have more to add later :-) But let`s hope not.
Auto Tracking is an issue on all Android devices!
This comment is a year old. Do you know of any gimbals that can handle face or object tracking on Android well? Is it just as bad on iPhone? I have an Android but I don't want to get an iPhone if it isn't going to work well there either
I just received the smooth 4 and downloaded the app on my P20 Pro. Funny that the wheel is NOT working, in contrast you claimed
Mine wasn't working yesterday when I got it, tried it again this morning and it works - quite a delay though.
no vertigo no 4k no 60 fps at all android devices
Can you review about the that ?
You cannot conclude only by testing one function! There are several which don’t, tracking.
How about xiaomi ? ( Specially mi6 )
you're zooming in and out and focusing on white. How about putting it on the phones laying there and THEN show us that is working.
Works with huawei P20pro but very hangs...
What about Moto X4?
All premium options dont working on Android like Galaxy S8-S8+-S9-S9+ -Note 8...etc. I dont know why. ??? Because its working on IOS.
what about s7 edge?
