Smooth-5S AI [Official] Smartphone Gimbal, Gimbal Stabilizer 3-Axis, Mobile Phone Gimbal, with Tripod, Mobile Phone Stabilizer, for Vlog, YouTube, TikTok

I've been working my way through phone gimbals for ages now, trying to find the best. This Zhiyun tops the rest, easily. I use a Zhiyun gimbal professionally and always swear by them so this phone gimbal is no different. Easy instructions to follow if you haven't balanced one before and quick too. Battery life is excellent, beats all others by far. This is the only gimbal I have bought and used that doesn't tilt to one side when filming with the mobile phone in vertical mode, for reels etc. Perfectly plumb unlike pretty much all the DJI gimbals I've used before. Highly recommended!

The version I have is the Standard version, which does not come with the AI module, additional fill light or travel case. That being said, it is still a very capable and versatile smartphone gimbal. It allows me to take smooth professional videos with no camera shake or awkward movements, greatly improving the quality of my videos. Having never used a smartphone gimbal stabiliser before it did take quite a while to get used to the movements and how to use it, as I found if I make sudden movements the gimbal will go all over the place, so smooth consistent movements are required. I would strongly recommend downloading the full PDF version of the instructions from the QR link in the box as this helped me massively with understanding all the different options and features of the gimbal. The accompanying App is also essential as this allows you to use the tracking feature (when filming through the Apps camera function) and I found the tracking to be very responsive and followed me without too many issues, although the one issue I did find is, similar to before, if I made a sudden movement the gimbal did seem to have a mind of it’s own and start going all over the place and loose tracking. The App is quite complex, with lots of options and features. It includes its own camera which saves photos and videos to your phones gallery (I’m using a Samsung Galaxy S22), some editing features, guides and some featured content which can help give you some creative ideas. Obviously, it’s yet another App to create an account for and privacy is a little bit of a concern. The App is also used to update the gimbals firmware although this can also be done via a PC if you prefer but this also requires installing additional software on your PC. Overall though, this is a great gimbal to explore a more creative way to make videos and I feel it’s quite good value especially if you take a lot of videos for social media is it will really give your videos that professional feel.

This is my first gimbal as a newbie to video making and I wanted to try this to video wildlife whilst birdwatching so it's easier to follow bird flights as I always lose them when tracking just through my phone in my hand. I received the standard version which doesn't come with the tracker or extra lights but as the costs of purchasing each of these separately is quite expensive, I would have gone for the pro kit version if I had had a choice. Out of the box, this feels really heavy duty in terms of build and quality. I tried to scan the qr to get the instructions video but it didn't take me to it. I then tried to follow the diagrams into setting it up but got completely lost and ended up finding a brilliant you tube video by someone called 'mamo air' who does a detailed step by step video on how it all works and how to change each section and balance the phone so it doesn't flop around uncontrollably. It took me a few days to find it as a lot of videos were aimed at the tracker use (which I don't have with this model) or just highlighting the spec. So .. few things I discovered with this. Minor niggles... - I did struggle attaching my Xperia phone in its case betweeb the grippers so I had to remove the case for it to fit better. I also had to slide it further to one side because it landed on the camera button (on the new model) and kept setting it off. It's also quite hard to get the phone in/out but I guess a strong grip is better than a loose one (especially with no protective case on) - you can switch between landscape and portrait mode without removing your phone first by sliding the phone down the gripper and then twisting it. But, each time you change it you have to rebalance the phone again which is a bit of a faff ,so I found it best to keep to either portrait or landscape mode at any one time. - it doesn't fold down to a compact size so bit bulkier for carrying around and the standard kit doesn't come with a pouch or carry case Really like: - it feels great to hold and sturdy and has a handy tripod attachment that is removeable so perfect for static bird watching. - doubles up as a power bank for your phone which is super useful (especially if your phone doesn't have a long battery life) - choice of video editing apps to link it with OR, you can just use your phone. ZY Cami is a great beginners one and easy to follow. - quick selfie feature button at the back of the gimbal ie press it 3 times and it spins around to take selfies, and then press the same again to reposition. Has so many features on the gimbal itself with different tracking options to follow you around and also being able to add additional lights for filming in low light etc. It will take me some time with tutorials to learn how to use this as I've mentioned, but it seems like a really solid bit of kit that is versatile and multifunctional and you can add the extra lights and even microphone to it as well so I'm quite impressed.

Wenn man all die positiven Bewertungen liest und dann noch dazu die YouTube-Videos ansieht, in denen das Gerät augenscheinlich funktioniert, dann ist man schnell frustriert und sucht die Schuld im eigenen Versagen, Fakt ist aber, dass dieser Gimbal nur dann so toll funktioniert, wenn man ein Smartphone hat, das ohne Hülle perfekt kalibriert wurde. Eine Bewegung mit der Gimbal nichts anfangen kann, sorgt schnell wieder Verwirrung des Gimbals und erfordert Geduld und ein neues Kalibrieren. Ich habe es nun geschafft ganz gute Videos damit hinzubekommen, bin aber von der Benutzerführung absolut enttäuscht. Das Gerät macht einfach keinen Spaß und die "Zwangsapps" dazu sind die reinste Katastrophe, welche alle Daten von euch erfragen, bevor Ihr das Gerät überhaupt nutzen könnt. Hinzu kommt das auch die Apps weit weg von Intuitiv bedienbar sind, alles ist unnötig kompliziert und auch hier kommt einfach kein Spaß auf. Gute Videos kann man hiermit definitiv machen, aber nur mit viel Vorbereitung und Arbeit, die eigentlich nicht erforderlich sein sollte. Störend kommt noch hinzu das dieses Gerät ab und mal spinnt und das Handy Display voll gegen die eigene Achse schlägt. Ich kann hier wirklich keinen einzigen Grund entdecken warum ich mir diesen Ärger jemals antuen sollte.

Producto recomendados, soporta buen peso, la duración de batería es buena, si conoces de jimbals este será fácil de manipular, buen material.

Es perfecto.
