Thank you for your great review. I have a Samsung Galaxy a21s smartphone. Can I use it with Zhiyun Smooth Q3 or are there any major hindrances? Thank you for your help, I appreciate your comment.
Thanks for the video. Wondering if the ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3 will work well with Samsung S22 Ultra when it comes out and for sound will this gimbal work with JBL Commercial CSLM20B?
Thanks for the review. So if I have an iPhone 12ProMax I won't be able to use any of these 2 gimbals??? (I am also using a protective case) I was going to purchase à OM4. It is not a must to have a gimbal immediately. Should I wait until a new model handles the 12ProMax? Maybe OM5 ???
I heard DJI osmo mobile series aren't really compatible with S22 ULTRA and their apps don't support 4k recording is it true? I will choose Zhiyun if it works better with Android.
Nicely explained, unfortunately you forgot something, and this something is something that I find very important, because for example I ordered the ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3 and it is on its way to me. The question I have, and to which you have not provided the answer, is the following: Have I seen correctly that, when you unscrew the tripod of the ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3, there is a USB input at the bottom of the handle next to the screw thread? is with which you can charge the ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3? I do know that there is also a USB port higher up in the handle that you can connect to the smartphone on the gimbel with a USB cable, and my actual question is now: Can you connect the ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3 with these two connections together? the Smartphone, and thereby charge the smartphone, and at the same time also charge the ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3? This I would like to know.
Great comparison. Just a question, I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max, does the om4/4se fit it when I use also the case? And finally which would you recommend for iPhone 11 Pro Max users? Thanks
Hi, truly an excellent comparison i was looking for. I'm planning to buy the Zhiyun Q3 and a thing i wanted to know is if it supports the POV mode? Thanks in advance. :)
Are you using a iPhone 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max? I just purchased a Pro Max and quickly took it back for a 12 Pro because I was afraid of weight (and width) on a gimbal. I also just bought a OM4. Have used gimbals on larger cameras before and for what I wanted, this looks like the thing to own. I also already have Filmic Pro (and subscribed to your class just today) Thanks!
Hey! I am using an iPhone 12 Pro. Yeah the 12 Pro Max makes troubles on gimbals.. its just a little bit too heavy.. it works, but not very good. Awesome to have you in the course. If you have any questions, make sure to contact me
No point in building a decent gimbal/phone partnership and then using the default app. Go for Filmic Pro (or similar) to get the best out of your setup.
Great video. Been on the fence on which gimbal to purchase and now you've just narrowed it down because of your review. It's been the best I've seen so far. Question.. which filmmaker apps do you suggest are best for the Q3?
I am not sure i understand the om4 balancing tech. How does the magnetic clamp provide perfect balancing? Traditionaly i have had to move the phone around on any gimbal to get it balanced. Can you explain how it works.
I have to admit the magnet on the OM4 seemed a good thing especially since I'd like to film some B-Roll of stuff on my lunch hour at work when time is limited, but the Q3 just seems SO much cheaper and such a better deal now - £130 for the OM4 vs £85 for the Q3. Seems a bit of a no-brainer, especially since this will be my first smartphone gimbal and I don't wanna break the bank
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro ah I ended up getting the Q3 anyway as it was a lot cheaper, but also another reviewer managed to do 4k60 with his S9 no problem, so it must be just officially supported modes or something.
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro I’ve decided Bluetooth must be damaged on the gimbal I got. AmaZon is sending replacement. I’ll let you know how the next one works out.
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Please, do this comparison! According to their specs the Q2 has better articulation/rotation angles than the Q3... I needed to take pictures from angles facing the ground/surface/downwards. Q2: Yaw (Pan): 360° Roll: 265° Pitch (Tilt): 305° Q3: Yaw (Pan): 300° Pitch (Tilt): -260 to 80° Roll: -170 to 170° It would be interesting you focus on this issue in the video and demonstrate this difference more accurately, if possible...
Thank you for this comparison video. You mention (I think, in this video) that the Zhiyun Smooth Q3 can be used with FiLMiC, but I wrote to them directly and they stated it is not currently among the compatible gimbals, but might be in the future. I trust you have used the Zhiyun Smooth Q3 with the FiLMiC app, yes?
Is it possible to use an external microphone cable on the q3? Do you have space for the dongle or does the arm block access to the lighting port? Thanks!!!
depends on the phone and the dongle.. with the small adapter from lightning to 3,5mm headphone jack it worked.. but its not great, because you always have to hold the wireless audio in your hand
Could you comment which one may be best and have or lose features when using a big Android phone....I found OM4 doesn't mount up this phone well. Also would you prefer one over the other if I'd be switching back on forth with an iPhoneXR. If I added Filmic would this be sufficient to narrow the disadvantages of using Android primarily. I appreciate your efforts and will be joining SMP soon....so as a beginner I can hit the road running. For now I need to decide whether to return the OM4 and buy the Q3 instead.
Tough question. I never had any issues with the clamp. Do you use a case? The OM4 is a fantastic gimbal, so is the Q3, I think you can‘t really go wrong with any of them
Thanks for the respose. OM4 definitely won't fit with the case....doesn't fit well without it either....the shape of the phone's edge doesn't fit the shape of the clamp. Wants to pop off.... Moto G 2021. I appreciate the encouragement. I'll let you know if I find the Q3 better for my purpose.
Im android user, and I saw Zhiyun Q3 app have some limitations for android, such as we cant record 4K 60fps. Is it a huge different if Im not using the app? Is the record button work with the phone camera app? And what I dont get if Im not using the Zhiyun app? Look forward for your reply. Thank you
My Friend, may you give me some help, please? When I press de 3 points of configurations the aplication closes just in time. How come could I to resolve this? Since now I thank you.
Great video! I've became a new subscriber! I m a beginner to gimbals i am a real estate agent and i see some chinese partners to use DJI for properties video. I am between DJI Osmo Mobile SE and Zhiyun Gimbal Smooth Q3 Combo which have the same price 109€. What is your recommentation for my job using Samsung S22? and of course secondly for summer travelling around?🤣😄 Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this amazing comparison and I think I will go for Zhiyun Smooth Q3 since it has external mode button and I assume it can be use with other apps too like Filmic pro with these modes. What do you think on this since I will not stick too much on the original software and can we use these modes on normal camera app or Filmic pro perhaps ?
Hello, I really appreciate what you're doing here. I'm currently using OM3 in shooting my car reviews, but it's giving me hard times since I switched to S21 Ultra. It can't handle the weight of the phone plus a Boya wireless USB-C microphone for more than 20 minutes, it overheats and keeps falling. Does any gimbal of these do a better job with such a heavy phone and setup? If not, do you recommend any other gimbal? Thanks! 🙂
Nice video there and I've became your new subscriber! 💪 You've mentioned @ 2:28 about the up and down movement and the micro jitters...That was exactly what happened when I filmed with my DJI Osmo Pocket. It's a wonderful tool with everything I need but the up and down blobbing movement makes me go crazy when watching my own videos...wonder if there is any way around it, perhaps with an attachment onto the Zhiyun smooth Q3 / DJI OM 4 perhaps?! 😅 Am currently looking into the possibility of doing smartphone filming instead and hence ending up here. Will be spending more time here for sure! Thank you!
I like the Smooth Q3 for the mode button. But those small gimbals don't have enough powerful motors when you use big iPhone like the 13 Pro Max . I use my old Zhiyun Crane 2 instead . My iPhone with extra weights do the job . It's heavier but effective . I use my old DJI Osmo 2 to make moving time laps
@SMARTPHONE FILMMAKING PRO yea, is pretty null. All it is, is bunch of videos on how to, but the zhuyun camera app for this follow/tracking feature that I like. It can track me.
Hi, thanks for the review. Just one important point at the end of the video when you mention filmic-pro, the Q3 is not compatible at all, at least on my phone ,Xiaomi note 8. I got the om4 & was about to return it but the Q3 does not work at all with filmic pro so I am changing my mind.
Dear, my gimble smooth Q3 shuts off in the middle of the shoot every after few seconds however my battery is full. I am using the Samsung galaxy note 9 with it. Please can you help me out what is the issue going on with the gimble ???
Hi, i still can't decide Which gimbal to buy my phone I have an iPhone 11 but I'm going to buy an iPhone 12 Pro if you had to buy a gimbal that you would buy today? DJI OM4 or ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3. THX
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro It's hard to choose between DJs MO4 or ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3. Q3 also looks good, but I'll probably go to DJ OM4. If you had a choice and you have tried both, which one would you buy? Which one worked better?
Will the knob of Zhiyun Q3's hinder Ultrawide camera of my Redmi K20 Pro? The Ultrawide lens on my phone is placed at the 3rd place in a vertical position.
Another point you should ad to the comparison is if you can go from normal to underslung with the zhiyun as the Q2 couldn't do that. Om4 doesn't look like it can do it without twisting awkwardly.
Great Review It appears that an iPhone 12 Pro Max + LightChaser Pro case + CP/NVD filters. + Balance Weight if necessary, would far exceed the max payload of the Q3??????
Hello, thanks for your nice video! I am interested in Zhiyun Smooth Q3 Gimbal and I would like to know a few things: - Is it compatible with Nokia 9 Pureview? - Can I use it with the native camera? - If I use the appropriate app to take pictures, does it use simultaneously all the cameras? This is a special feature of this smartphone.. - Are there any limitations of using the app? - There are two apps in play store. Which one do you recommend? Thanks in advance for your answers. I am looking for your response. Have a nice day!
Hey, I don't have the Nokia.. if it fits the payload, sure! sure you can use it with the stock camera app. watch the video I have about the zycami and the dji mimo app, there i answer all of your questions. ALl the best Julian
Hey man! Hope you see this. I have the same Gimbal. It's fully charged but when I use it, it beeps 5 times and just shuts down. What should I do to fix it?
The Q3 looks great, but I already have the OM4 with iPhone 12 pro. I like the paths with timelapses in Mimo app, but the video quality is not great. Are there other apps which can do that? Can the OM4 or Q3 be remote controlled?

@@smartphonefilmmakingpro It's hard to choose between DJs MO4 or ZHIYUN SMOOTH Q3. Q3 also looks good, but I'll probably go to DJ OM4. If you had a choice and you have tried both, which one would you buy? Which one worked better?
@@miroslavsurovcik9108 you can‘t go wrong with any of them. I‘d probably go with the Zhiyun because its just a lot cheaper
Are these better for iPhone or Galaxy?
should work on both just as good
Will the knob of Zhiyun Q3's hinder Ultrawide camera of my Redmi K20 Pro? The Ultrawide lens on my phone is placed at the 3rd place in a vertical position.
I don't have that phone sorry.. with the iPhone 12 Pro and the ultrawide I did not have any issues
Thank you for this amazing comparison video 💚.
thank you for your kind words
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro But I still love OM4 and I did order one actually 😔😔😔.
Another point you should ad to the comparison is if you can go from normal to underslung with the zhiyun as the Q2 couldn't do that. Om4 doesn't look like it can do it without twisting awkwardly.
You can go into low mode with both, just by turning them around
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro turn like a clock? Because that wouldn't be convenient.
Just turn it around. Its the easiest thing to do.
Please suggest me 1 gimbal on both of them?
the entire video is just focusing on this topic, there I share all my thoughts. I can't decided which of those aspects are more important to you
Thanks for the video. I will get the smooth q3 as i using protake.
Good choice!
I have iPhone 12 Pro max , which gimbal is the best for this phone ?
Almost any gimbal on the market would work with any iPhone
Hi, can i use 6,5 ' Smartphone (s20 fe)?
I have not tested it. But i think yes
Hi! Q3 or Om4? Thanks
I guess thats what I answer in the video :)
Which better q3 or hohem isteady v2?
There is a comparison of those two on the channel
It takes a while to master everything with the OM4 because it's packed with features but once you're familiar with it, you just have fun!
Yep its a really great gimbal. Was my go to for the last 6 months
out of the two, which one is compatible ith Samsung M51 and OnePlus 5t?
sorry I don't have any of these two phones.. just check how big and how heavy they are. but both gimbals are pretty strong
Which gimbal is compatible with Samsung A52 please?
I think all of them? Check the weight and the payload
The q3 can work with a go pro ?
I don‘t know sorry
Great Review
It appears that an iPhone 12 Pro Max + LightChaser Pro case + CP/NVD filters. + Balance Weight if necessary, would far exceed the max payload of the Q3??????
Thats true. Pretty sure this setup won‘t work
S21 ultra or iPhone 12pro or iPhone 12promax
For videography/filmmaking
Which one should I go for???
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
12 Pro
Does someone know if this is compatible to a redmi note 8 phone?
Which one is best for iphone 13 please help me 🙂
Smooth 5
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro Okay thank you and it will be my first time....can i use it easily?
Bro after purchasing the gimbal can we use their camera app for free??
yep, but it's not great
Hello, thanks for your nice video!
I am interested in Zhiyun Smooth Q3 Gimbal and I would like to know a few things:
- Is it compatible with Nokia 9 Pureview?
- Can I use it with the native camera?
- If I use the appropriate app to take pictures, does it use simultaneously all the cameras? This is a special feature of this smartphone..
- Are there any limitations of using the app?
- There are two apps in play store. Which one do you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your answers. I am looking for your response.
Have a nice day!
Hey, I don't have the Nokia.. if it fits the payload, sure! sure you can use it with the stock camera app. watch the video I have about the zycami and the dji mimo app, there i answer all of your questions. ALl the best Julian
@@smartphonefilmmakingpro thanks a lot!
Hey man! Hope you see this. I have the same Gimbal. It's fully charged but when I use it, it beeps 5 times and just shuts down. What should I do to fix it?
Hey- please contact the Zhiyun Support - I am not a gimbal engineer so I don't know sorry
Always love your videos brother that great job brother
I appreciate that
The Q3 looks great, but I already have the OM4 with iPhone 12 pro. I like the paths with timelapses in Mimo app, but the video quality is not great. Are there other apps which can do that? Can the OM4 or Q3 be remote controlled?
the OM4 still is a great option. unfortunately I don't know anything that controls the gimbal other than the mimo app
You can download filmic pro app and you can use the remote controls with several gimbals, OM1,2, 3 and 4 and smooth4
Great Video, could we have a guide on how to use the OM4? For different types of shots and how to set the gimbal?
Checkout my channel, I have several vids with the om4
Which one do you prefer? Smart xr or smooth q3?
Smooth q3
