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 YouTube the quality dropped?
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.
Mi Max2??? Good for zhiyun??
you should have had a link to order from so you could have made money from my order.
What microphone accessory did you end up using on the Samsung s7?
My Gimbal did exactly what happened to yours when you added something to it but without me adding anything other than my phone what am I doing wrong?
Great product. does it keep focusing on spot? i would like to use for shooting golf swing.
Thank you
can i use it for iphone 8+?
Good morning !, I would like to know how to recharge the battery of Zhiyun Smooth Q
how is the battery?
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.
Will it fit Xiaomi Mi Max 3?
I wish i have that Gimbal :'(
This video is very helpful. Thanks a million. ☺️
how long does it take to charge it initially. The light is yellow, will it turn green when it’s charged?
Thanks for the review. Quick question, is zooming in & out an option? Thanks
WARNING: be extremely careful when you use your phone in landscape mode while its plugged in the battery pack. it may seems that the gimbal will handle the auto stabilization, however, if the phone wasnt balanced on the gimbal before powering it on, you may notice one of your motor overheating. it will also significantly decrease the battery life. and for the users who wined about the quality of the phone app, please try to use it properly cause it rocks.
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
its ok horizontal but the gimble doesnt seem to work on vertical.
thanks ! gonna buy it soon !
External mic gripped on the handle with a cable would be the solution. And it is even better this way if you are vlogging and talking about what your looking at. Only issue would be to move the mic forward when you want to shoot video and audio from forward position.
Would this work ok with compact cameras?
Will this fit a iphone 6 Plus?
Once it is on selfie mode, is there a way to trigger it via Bluetooth to take photographs?
The app is actually called ZY Play in the App store
THANK YOU, for using a personal mic!
So which one is beer-rah?
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
I think its not q 3 axis. Its only q version. Your title is misleading.
