Awww! And I was just thinking of buying one for my Galaxy S9. I wonder when Zhiyun will get their Android software act together for this lovely gimbal.
in your video, when you're showing the camera mode. there is no multi-expo which my phone doesn't show that function as well but when i checked others they all have the multi-expo and a lot more function in camera mode.. my firmware is 1.77. my phone is s20plus. Do you have any idea why the function is much less than the others or why there is some missing?
Thank you, incredibly helpful. Would be very intrigued to see if the Smooth 4 with Filmic Pro works better on an Android. I refuse to shell out $$$ for an iPhone when I have arguably the best camera phones in the 6T and the P20 Pro at my disposal....
The app doesn't pick up the device on Samsung note 20. You can connect it by pairing it with Bluetooth but you can't use the device since you need the app to connect. It's really frustrating. Any tips as I've tried everything
The Smooth 4 does not do 360 degree panning like the Smooth Q. It also doesn't roll since it has no joystick and roll is locked even in follow "all" mode. Basically 2 important Smooth series functions are crippled on the Smooth 4, it doesn't say these limitations on the box, is advertised for mobile film makers, and also sold as an upgrade/replacement to the Smooth Q. This is a downgrade from the Smooth Q.
the timelapse option does not appear to me, I have the samsung s20 plus. Also I already tried with the huawei p20 pro and p30 pro, iphone 10 and 11 pro, and the timelapse options do not appear to me. What version of firware do you have? I have it updated to 1.77
The Frame Rate of recorded file is not satisfactory, after recording by Zhiyun Smooth 4 with my androids like Redmi note 4 and Asus Zenfone the frame rate shows 12 or 13 fps in recorded file property though it is shown 30 fps in Zy Play apps setting interface. Accordingly the recorded file jerks while playing back..... Plz reply
I can't select the image stabilization on the app. and also max reselution i get is 1080p. I've seen other reviews getting 4k. im using Samsung note 8. is there anything i need to do?
depending on whether your device is supported by zhiyun will determine how well the app works with your phone just because some fetures dont work does not mean the app sucks it just means that your device is not fully supported for some of the fetures
@@TECHMATRIXX i see the comments dated almost an year before.... Is it still the case... Dji is the best android compatible gimbal? [I am planning to buy one but confused between Zihyun and Dji.... btw My phone is android Redmi 3S].
@@TECHMATRIXX if it comes to the worst case scenario, do you know if it's possible to use the gimble for stabilisation with another camera app on android, I've already got the ZY play app ready but I use Open Camera to record 4K @100mbs. Thanks
CAN IT BE RECORDED IN 4K AND LOWER IN A GALAXY S8? CAN THE CELLULAR BE CHARGED WHILE IT IS RECORDED? COULD YOU SHOW A VIDEO ABOUT IT? CAN THE CAMERA BE ALTERNATED WHILE VIDEO IS RECORDED? CAN I RECORD ON THE CELLULAR MEMORY CARD WITHOUT VIDEO RECORDING QUALITY RESTRICTIONS? RESISTS TO WATER? SERVE ALL THE FUNCTIONS IN ANDROID?
I have the Smooth-Q it is a great equipment but the Android App is terrible. My cellphone is Galaxy S8 and many features not work like Panoramic mode, slow motiom mode, Gallery not save the shots, I not allowed to make videos in 60FPS. It's sad because I like my Smooth-Q but without a good App the gimbal became not so good.
@@rainerlein Just bought it, tried using with the LG G6. Pretty much the same as in the review. I got much better results using the built-in camera app.
It doesn't matter what cellphone do you have if it is android, the only problem will be, is the nicest features are working with IOS or iPhones if you want, But if you not going to use the zyu app or film pro, works perfectly with the Samsung built in camera. That's why i purchased both, the zhiyun smooth 4 and the DJI Osmo mobile 2 for the features
I wish I saw your review before I bought this. All the ones we watched, none even mentioned any Android compatibility issues. :-( We will try it and if it doesn't work, send it back.
Thank you for that review , I just ordered it , now I am thinking is it work it or not ?? I have a note 9 from next week and was mainly planning to use it for filming ...what do you think is it a go or not ?
Thanks for this incredibly helpful video but can't you just put it 1 month earlier :) I have just returned my Zhiyun Smooth 4 - which I bought late July - because it won't function properly with my Samsung S9+. After watching your videos, now I will buy a DJI Osmo Mobile 2 with the refund.
Great review - just watched your DJI Osmo mobile 2 video. I'm sad to say I bought the Smooth 4 only 2 months ago, but didn't use it much until now. Also I'm not sure if anyone else has this, but I've noticed the top connectors above the handle seem loose and they clack if you move it back and forward and you can hear it in your videos. Product quality is low! Motion tracking seems to work a bit after updating to the latest firmware, but I think I'm going to buy the DJI Osmo instead. Buyer beware.
This Gimbal is trash.... I got it for christmas and it doesent work on android, and it always kink sideways and doesent hold my phone. I have a small honor play its not that heavy. I m so dissapointed. The app also doesent work on android. Dont waste your money.
Looks like the android problems may be due to Samsung's APP permissions >>> gimbaltest.com/zhiyun-smooth-4-review-test-video-and-issues-with-android-phones/
