If you want to see more "pretty" cinematic footage see my Smooth C review: ruclips.net/video/fkgBW_p2ZUQ/видео.html This smooth Q's just a smooth and stable as the old smooth C model.
I think the plastic on the handle also helps to keep the battery a tad bit warmer, especially when using the gimbal in cold weather. Ultimately improving battery life.
Thank you for your full video with the test footages. I bought now this modell, used, via Ebay for 15,- Euros only. Very happy, so cheap and good. Greetings from sw germany - to Spain ? Ok, much better weather, as in GB.
I know this is an old vid, but I have kept my Smooth Q in the box due to only trying to figure it out while shooting instead of reading, preparing and learning. Thanks for the product review mate. Now I will take it out of the box and give it a go!
I bought this for my Samsung S7 and while I love it there is a problem with this particular phone. The S7's camera is in the middle of the phone and a bit further in from the edge. When it's in the gimbal, you can see the motor on the right side of the camera. Pulling the phone further to the left doesn't work because to balance it you pull the bracket towards the right thus bringing the camera in the same position as before. Only way to use it, is by holding the gimbal at a 45 degree angle or make a counter weight to put on the bottom of the phone and pull it further to the left.
Nice review. I wonder which gimbals are the best. I prefer the ones that use standard battery, reason is you can always get new ones if you forgot to take them with you or where every you are in the world if you travel. You get shorter use but you can work with that.
Yes, both have their pros and cons. At least this one will make it through a whole days sight seeing trip for example. Then when your back in the hotel charge it up. Best to do that overnight as it takes about 5-6 hours to fully charge it seems. 26650 Li-ion I hope its later changeable if it ever wears out.
Yes, you are right. It might be better with a gimbal that can last all day, and forgetting to charge or loosing a battery is just silly. Should not happen. And if you can charge and use the gimbal att the same time, with a portable USB battery, then that problem is solved too. BTW, nice review.
Ur presentation are smooth and great. I always wait for your new video. You do a such a great job. In one word. Fantastic... . By the way. Need ur suggestions... Should I buy osmo mobile gimbal or smooth q. Which one you think, is better. Which one u prefer. I know, u will give a best answer. I saw all of your video. U such a honest n straight forward with details. Thanks. Please please please keep it up. For us. There is so many things to learn from u. Thanks
I've had the same issue with smooth-C as soon as I connect my phone. So what do you suggest for counterweight with Mic attached. Is there an aftermarket counterweight we can buy?
Could you do me a favor? Can you switch in the mode where the phone can be moved left and right. Then move the grip in horizontal position (more or less) Then turn the phone to the very left... If you now move the grip a little up or down (depends) I get horrible vibrations and the gimbal is not usable anymore in that position. I tested 2 Smooth Q and both have the same behavior, which is actually a NO GO. Can you check, if that happens to you as well Firmware is 1.6.0
My husband bought this for me in 2017 as a Christmas gift. I like it a lot. Went to UK in 2018 for our summer vacation and had a hard time using it. Now that is 2020, I’m trying to use it again. I want to know what do you think happen to all the picture that got saved on the app. I can’t seem to find them.
why no reviewers mention about its heating problem on the back motor? i updated the damn firmware. also when there is no phone attached it makes noise.
I was planning to get an action camrea but cheap camrea doesn’t have good quality but all i want is stability and found one for $199 and i have about 200$ with me
Hi sweetie, loved your presentation!, I have a small youtube channel, so my lovely daughters gave me this gimbal for Mothers day, Your review makes it look very easy to use, but I am nervous as being older I am not 100% sure what I am doing. Do I have to connect it to BlueTooth? I wish you had explained that part, as the booklet that comes in the box is useless. Can I just use the gimbal and my phone without connecting it to bluetooth? thank you in advance :)
Hey! Really nice channel, I'm getting addicted to it :). Do you know if this gimbal is compatible to use at the same time with the Rode VIDEOMICME? Would it fit? Thanks!
YES!!! checked this out last week, looks damn sweet for the price and features! The frame skipping on your phones.. arrrg... lots of BG processes running? So glad you released a video TechTablets :D P.S. Your bit.ly/SmoothUSA link doesn't work in the description.
What are you doing to get your s7 to look that good after upload. I've got the smooth q and the s7 for my next season of gold rush. But I tried to upload a video. And it looked great on the phone and on edit but then after upload to RUclips the quality dropped?
Hey Chris. I have a Mi Max and was wondering if you have uploaded any video which was recorded by the Mi Max and Smooth Q working in unison. Would love to see the results before buying the Smooth Q... Cheers!!
What's the charging time for this? It says 2.5 hours on the manual but it also says when charging is complete it shows a green light. I charged it for way longer than 2.5 hours but there's still no green light. I'm not sure if I'm overcharging it or if my device is defective.
Hey there-great video. What I'm wondering is why the "app" for Smooth 2 needs access to "make and manage phone calls" I don't understand this when you download the app to operate the phone and in the Android store everyone is complaining that it crashes and lacks shoot mode options like landscape. I'm wondering if you can clue me in with the controlling the phone call request???? And should I be seriously concern with granting this option request?
Hello, How to properly calibrate this thing? When I proceed the application calibration it stills end up a little tilted to the left in horizontal axis.
I cannot find anywhere how to use the smooth q to do motion time lapse as I don't see it in the app, I bought It, main video, it says I can do motion time lapse but WHERE?? (android) thanks.
What's the best buying option. Ziyhun Smooth Q (to use a Samsung S7 Edge) or a Panasonic LUMIX G7 🤔??. I'm struggling with this question. Any help would be welcome 😉
stupid question, but, have you tried a short RCA extension cord and clipping the mic on a different part of the phone or gimbal mount? Also, what mic is that?
Hi there, we've really been enjoying watching this, thanks for the review. We film natural sight and sound walks in cities using gopro hero 6 black and a zhiyun gimbal, and find the combination just right (you can see several films using this combination and also using our camera phone with the gimbal on our page if it's helpful?). Thank you for taking the time to add this helpful video.
Hi. im still deciding to or not to get the dji osmo mobile after i saw some " jittering" videos due to the conflict between the Iphone's OIS and the gimbal. Any problems on Zhiyun? Thanks !
How do you connect you're phone with the stabilizer? Is there an app?? Or blutooth?? Just bought one and really don't know how to use it, first timer hehehehe

cool, thank you! :)
Hi, where can i buy external microphones? the same with what you used in the video? :D
thanks!
sir i uploaded your video in my gimbal unbox video .thank you very much.
The place where you live is beautiful!
DENIA!! Costa Blanca Spain, It's beautiful :)
I think the plastic on the handle also helps to keep the battery a tad bit warmer, especially when using the gimbal in cold weather. Ultimately improving battery life.
interesting.. I have never thought of that.
Good point cuz metal is creating a battery problem for iphones for example
Hey did you notice that with the Galaxy S7 if you position the phone where you can plug it in, the gimbal tips over because of the positioning?
great review! thanks for testing it "on the field". what a lovely town!
Thank you for your full video with the test footages.
I bought now this modell, used, via Ebay for 15,- Euros only. Very happy, so cheap and good.
Greetings from sw germany - to Spain ?
Ok, much better weather, as in GB.
Your review/instructional tutorial was well presented and gave useful information on the Smooth Q. Good Job.
nickscomputerfix disagree absolutely, wrong information was given. ..
7:55 Ray Charles's Georgia Song in the background! Made my day!
I know this is an old vid, but I have kept my Smooth Q in the box due to only trying to figure it out while shooting instead of reading, preparing and learning. Thanks for the product review mate. Now I will take it out of the box and give it a go!
Thanks, good luck with the gimbal!
I found your review to be interesting and informative. I am currently looking into purchasing this gimbal for my iPhone 7+. Thank you for your time.
When you added the mic (4:50), did you re-balance?
I bought this for my Samsung S7 and while I love it there is a problem with this particular phone. The S7's camera is in the middle of the phone and a bit further in from the edge. When it's in the gimbal, you can see the motor on the right side of the camera.

Only way to use it, is by holding the gimbal at a 45 degree angle or make a counter weight to put on the bottom of the phone and pull it further to the left.
Thanks for the review. Quick question, is zooming in & out an option? Thanks
Can you do a review about smooth q in combination with the one plus 5
Got my Smooth Q3-Axis few hours ago! 💃🏼😍 AWESOME Gimbal!!! 👍🏻
woow
nice accessorie.. i dont need it but good to know something like this exist
Need show how to press record and zoom in or out for this gimbal
Great video. According to Zhiyun, it can only fit 6" phones. But your video showed it has no problem with the gigantic 6.44" Mi Max.
Thanks for the review. I have a Mi Max and was looking for a gimbal that could handle it. Now found one - Cheers!
Very good idea Pro 👍👍👍👍👍😀
Thanks for this great demo!
never seen selfie footage so smooth haha
Awesome review. I wanted to get one of this. How much it cost and where did you get it from? Cheers mate!

BTW, nice review.
Thanks for the review! Sending some sub love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Do I need to download any application on my phone for smooth-Q?
Great product. does it keep focusing on spot? i would like to use for shooting golf swing.
Ur presentation are smooth and great. I always wait for your new video. You do a such a great job. In one word. Fantastic... .
By the way. Need ur suggestions... Should I buy osmo mobile gimbal or smooth q. Which one you think, is better. Which one u prefer. I know, u will give a best answer. I saw all of your video.

hi, where can i get that microphone? regards.
Good afternoon. Prompt. When the video is written on the S7 there is a motor noise? Is there noise when Rode is recording?
thank for the review, where is that ?
Lmao when I misplace this stuff I always ask “ did you find this case that looks like a small guitar case”
Yeah it does look like a mini guitar case 🤣
I've had the same issue with smooth-C as soon as I connect my phone.
So what do you suggest for counterweight with Mic attached.
Is there an aftermarket counterweight we can buy?
can the smooth q do motion timelapse like the osmo mobile?
i dont know about ios but on android definitely no
yeah u can on ios ,dont know about android
Would this work ok with compact cameras?
The app is actually called ZY Play in the App store
Could you do me a favor?
Can you switch in the mode where the phone can be moved left and right.
Then move the grip in horizontal position (more or less)
Then turn the phone to the very left...
If you now move the grip a little up or down (depends) I get horrible vibrations and the gimbal is not usable anymore in that position.
I tested 2 Smooth Q and both have the same behavior, which is actually a NO GO.
Can you check, if that happens to you as well
Firmware is 1.6.0
Can i use for iphone 7 plus?
İrem Yıldız i have the same question!
as do I!
Yes u can.. its for any mobile phone
can use whit generic action cam?
yes there is a bracket so you can use it will gopro sized cameras
My husband bought this for me in 2017 as a Christmas gift. I like it a lot. Went to UK in 2018 for our summer vacation and had a hard time using it. Now that is 2020, I’m trying to use it again. I want to know what do you think happen to all the picture that got saved on the app. I can’t seem to find them.
Maybe with a heavy mic have some sort of counterweight fixed to the other end of the phone, or would that make it all too heavy?
A gopro session with tripod mount attached to it works very well also. Video coming soon , subscribe to see it. Thanks
App controls it wirelessly too.
Nice review! Helped me a lot, thank you
Do you have to use the app with this, and if you do then can you record in 4k through the app if your phone supports 4k?
how much is that mic with the filter thing on it
Do you think this is able to be used with my xiaomi redmi note 5 Ai? I'm concerned about the phone being so long and heavy?
why no reviewers mention about its heating problem on the back motor? i updated the damn firmware.
also when there is no phone attached it makes noise.
Have you tried balancing the phone with the external mic attached?
Can you use this with an action cam?
Are you able to switch and go between front facing camera and rear camera while filming?
I was planning to get an action camrea but cheap camrea doesn’t have good quality but all i want is stability and found one for $199 and i have about 200$ with me
What mic is that on the phone? I see rode but dont know what mic that is!
Hi, it's the Video MicMe
Great Review. Will this fit the new iPhone X?
justin conley Yeah.
Really informative. I'm new to this so any info is appreciated. Defi ite sub from the UK.
What is the distance from the USB port to your phone charging port? I don't want to buy too long a cable.
This video is very helpful. Thanks a million. ☺️
Can I attach a go pro camera?
ragoval You need a special card but yes.
How do you do Auto panoramic shots
i have iphone 8plus, is it compatible? i am planning to buy this

THANK YOU, for using a personal mic!
Been is storage (junk pile) but going to use it with my 360 RS 4k lens for more control of shots... Thanks
How do you know when it's done charging?
Hi, it's possible to use the gimbal with an action cam? I'm looking for a gimbal that can deal with smartphones and with action cams. Thanks
André Caseiro did u find any? I wanna buy one as well :) I have a xiaomi mi6 and yi 4k plus
I also want to know lol
you can but you need an adapter for the counter balance. aliexpress has some

A little late to the party but thanks for this review. Well done. I'll let you know how it works out.
Hey! Really nice channel, I'm getting addicted to it :). Do you know if this gimbal is compatible to use at the same time with the Rode VIDEOMICME? Would it fit? Thanks!
I tested it on the Smooth 3 (new model) in the review video, it only works if your 3.5mm jack is at the top.
i cant charge my iphine 7 plug aqnd use it at the same time its too heavy what can i do
Will this work with a GoPro? GoPro with a microphone?
Yes if you get the adaptor for it.
YES!!! checked this out last week, looks damn sweet for the price and features! The frame skipping on your phones.. arrrg... lots of BG processes running?
So glad you released a video TechTablets :D P.S. Your bit.ly/SmoothUSA link doesn't work in the description.

Sorry man...Just saw the end of the vid !!
Hello does this work compatibly with samsung s8? And what app should be use? Thanks
What's the charging time for this? It says 2.5 hours on the manual but it also says when charging is complete it shows a green light. I charged it for way longer than 2.5 hours but there's still no green light. I'm not sure if I'm overcharging it or if my device is defective.
What microphone accessory did you end up using on the Samsung s7?
can it be used with other mobiles?
Hey there-great video. What I'm wondering is why the "app" for Smooth 2 needs access
to "make and manage phone calls" I don't understand this when you

is complaining that it crashes and lacks shoot mode options like
landscape. I'm wondering if you can clue me in with the controlling the
phone call request???? And should I be seriously concern with granting this option request?
Do you find that the front motor gets in your shots? I keep discovering this when I look at the video full size on the computer.
If you push it in close it will. But just pull it out till it doesn't show on the left and it's fine.
Please get video samples for MI MAX with this gimbal. is it work properly with MI MAX?
Watch the video... I record on the Mi Max.
8:50, thanks.
Hi man, can i use GoPro with this handheld Gimbal? Thanks

I was reading and it says it does 360 like the cameras can you explain
Good morning !, I would like to know how to recharge the battery of Zhiyun Smooth Q
