Evan Thomas Hey Evan! I just purchased the Smooth 4! I’ve had a problem when starting to record in forward mode. The app completely shuts down. If I record using the selfie camera it’s fine. Also, I thought I was able to switch views when recording from forward to selfie view.
Finally. This vid explained everything I needed to know for this device in about 10 minutes. More informative than any of the included docs from the manufacturer or its videos here. Thanks!
Same! I've had mine forever and too intimidated to use it. I have the zhiyun crane and still have not been able to balance. I figured this would be a little better. Glad I watched this video AGAIN. I feel more confident now!
I just got one and can't the app to work AT ALL on iphone or Android. The hardware gets great review on Amazon and the app gets horrible reviews. So disappointed
I want to thank you for this easy-to-understand video. I got my Zhiyun last night and was trying to figure it out. Got a little frustrated and thought I should set it down, go to bed and look at some how-to video's this morning. Your's was the first one I watched and it was immensely helpful. I can't thank you enough for keeping it simple for people like me who need it broken down in more lay terms. Thanks again.
I owned this equipment for two years now. And watched many RUclips tutorials, still I have not found any helpful video. Hopefully your video will helped me like this smooth 4 better. Thanks
I'm an American vlogger living in China and CAN speak and read Chinese but your video was more helpful than the instructions. ;) Thanks for the clear explanation and the tips!
Just bought our first Zhiyun and was a bit confused about the lack of instructions that come with it, so we luckily found your channel. Thank you so much for walking us through this device, can't wait to start using it now. Your explanation is clear and no-nonsense, something sometimes hard to find here. Thank you once again.
Thank you. This is the first video, where I understood, how to setup my smooth 4 with my samsung galaxy s9+ ! Now it works really good. Thanks so much.
Hi Wasim, this Zhiyun Smooth 4 is good for focus and zoom wheel but Osmo 2 is much better because of tracking follow and joystick. In my case I got the second one.
Great intro video. Very comprehensive. Watched your video 3x (first to absorb. Second to start/stop and follow along and pushing buttons. Third time to see if I missed anything...) Then off I went, like I've been using it for years. THANK YOU!!!
Dude thanks to you I got mine working with my phone case on because it was balanced incorrectly before you explained how to adjust that. I was really disappointed because I was under the impression that I needed to take my phone out of its case just to get the gimbal balanced but not no more big thanks to you man. Thumbs up from me. 👍
I've watched too many videos about the Smooth 4 and you are the first person to actually make a newbie like me understand it! Two quick questions - what does the bullseye button on the bottom left do and on the screen in the bottom left there's a button that is like a broken circle. What do both of these do? Thanks!!!!
I just started following you after I purchased my Zhiyun Smooth 4 to use with my Galaxy S10. I use a wheelchair for mobility and your review on the Smooth 4 has inspired me to do more.
Hey Evan! Just got my Z4 and your video just helped me to set it up! Thank you for such a clean vid, clear instructions, and NOT SPEAKING IN WEIRD VLOGGER VOICE! haha. You're awesome bro! Thanks so much!
Evan, Thank you. Great tutorial. I got my Zhiyun back in October but have not had much time to play with it and have forgotten everything I learned. Your video got me up and running again. Thank you!
I just purchased this a few days ago and was quite overwhelmed on how to use it. Your video tutorial is excellent as you presented this straightforward and easy to understand. Great work!
I recorded videos in 1080 60fps but now that I have them off my phone they're not in the same format. Is there a way to have it save without changing formats?
Hi Evan Just got my Smooth4 gimbal yesterday and was a bit confused controling it. Watching your video was really very helpful. I need more guidance on 'object follow' (track) kinda stuff using this gimbal.
I would love a follow-up video diving deeper into the when and why you would choose some of the different settings, such as video quality, movie modes, etc.
Thank you so much! this was so useful. I was getting so frustrated with the instructions given, and you gave such a simple and straightforward video! Thanks again
Thanks for the video, Helped me through the initial orientation and operation. I anticipate coming back to watch it once I get familiar with the basics.
OMG thank you fort this video!!! I just order this on amazon and your video was super easy and I was able to hook it up in 10 min. I was about to freak out lol
Awesome tutorial! I really appreciate the help in figuring out some of the basic features. I'm going to use this bad boy on my next video I post. Thanks!
I bought one of these 2 months ago - absolutely love it. Makes a great 2nd camera for interviews. The app that allows for WB, exposure, and focus controls. I can just about match my primary rig, so when I get the shots into editing, I only have to do very minor tweaks for color grading. For any indie filmmaker out there thinking about spending a ton of money for a 2nd camera - buy this first.
Evan Thomas can’t say anything against it. Good price, solid construction, loads of features and does exactly what I expected it to do! What more can I ask of a product?
Hey Evan, huge thanks for this. I had the DJI osmo mob 1 for 2.5 years and just got the Zhiyun Smooth 4. Your video really helped figure out a few things I was struggling with. Much appreciated!
Dude thanks so much for the video I just picked one of these up in Chiang Mai. I was honestly sick of caring my DSLR around and I have an iPhone X so I figured why not. The crazy part is I got it for American retail cost

One of the best tutorials out there on youtube. No Nonsense talking, straightforward and point to point. Keep up the good work.
This is the best video I have found. I have had my device for a month and this video finally gave confidence to use it.

Clearest and most effective breakdown of set up of all the You Tube videos I've watched on it.
2020 and now its only $100.. just got one and this was an amazing tutorial!!!
I just got one and can't the app to work AT ALL on iphone or Android. The hardware gets great review on Amazon and the app gets horrible reviews. So disappointed
@@MrThomasJonesy Same... Any idea on an alternate app to use??

Ive had this thing for literally about 9 months.. the manual is bs
@@davidbann8388 🤣🤣🤣I totally agree
You can purchase the new Zhiyun Smooth 4 on Amazon for only $139: amzn.to/2qGQPba
Regarding battery time, you’re right - but it charges back up super fast if you hook it to your mophie charger. Like, way fast.

My Compliments...what an absolute pleasure to view. So very helpful and well presented. Thank you big time.
The Best ONE! I have seen others yours is so clear.
Thank you for posting up this video. It had so many useful tips and was definitely the best video I found on youtube.
This video is perfect!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is a great video. I purchased a Smooth 4 and had no idea what the hell to do with it. Now I am figuring it out. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Blake.
Thanks for the review, could you please make a video for android users because zhiyun android app is not good as iphone app
Hi Charith, unfortunately, I do not own an Android :( so I cannot make a tutorial on it.
I am using Google Pixel 2 XL and it keeps on disconnecting.
Easy, get an iPhone, one step and you’re done
Wow nice info..i'll try using my iphone if it's better than android
Note 8..similar issue. @@Favorites218
Thank you. This is the first video, where I understood, how to setup my smooth 4 with my samsung galaxy s9+ ! Now it works really good. Thanks so much.
Thanks Gabriele!
Great video please compare with dji osmo mobile 2 Which will be a better option to buy??
Hi Wasim, this Zhiyun Smooth 4 is good for focus and zoom wheel but Osmo 2 is much better because of tracking follow and joystick. In my case I got the second one.
Marc Bilbeny Vila Thank You brother. I think I should go for the Dji osmo mobile 2.
Great intro video. Very comprehensive. Watched your video 3x (first to absorb. Second to start/stop and follow along and pushing buttons. Third time to see if I missed anything...) Then off I went, like I've been using it for years. THANK YOU!!!
Is there a problem because of the camera stabilization system inside the iPhone X ?
I would love to know as well
I have not experience any issues with that.
I have had my gimbal for 5 months now and after this video, I'm confident enough to use it!
My favourite gimbal tutorial , the only one I understood
Great tutorial. I just unpacked the Zhiyum and this video got me starting right away. Far better than the offical zhiyuan video.
thanks for watching Jon

Glad to see I'm not the only one that tapes up the camera on the laptop.

Just got mine in today. Your tutorial is was a huge help. Thank you.

Thank you. Just unboxed mine and it is charging. Surprised they still haven't included a useful manual.
I just purchased this a few days ago and was quite overwhelmed on how to use it. Your video tutorial is excellent as you presented this straightforward and easy to understand. Great work!
Thanks, I learned more than the user guide! Now I know what "Lock Mode" is useful for!
Glad I could help!
Thank-you Sir Your video was the best one out there to help us get started with our new toy!!!

Did they ever add the joystick function?
Not that I’m aware of :/
