- In this video, we are taking a closer look at the Zhiyun's ultra-compact smartphone gimbal the Smooth Q2. This gimbal was released in the fall and was heavily promoted for is small size and portability. Even though it is small in size it can still handle today's large smartphone like the iPhone 11 Pro Max. In this video, we go over some of its features and show some sample footage. We even demonstrate how you can easily connect a microphone to the setup.

#SmoothQ2 #Review #SmartphoneGimbal - Jak na to + styl
A better tutorial than the "official" video for the Smooth Q2, or the other videos I've seen before I landed on this page. Thanks for keeping it simple for dummies like me.
I have the smooth q, the first one, and you are right. It is so big, bulky and even heavy that I don’t use it anymore. Definitely got my 👀 on this one. 🤗
Thank you best description yet! Beats heck out of the instruction pamphlet !
This review is very practical as it clearly deals with pros and cons and also compares with Ojmo Mobile 3 speaking about its pros and cons as well. Thanks.
Thanks for this video! Do you have any plans to make an Osmo Mobile 3 vs Smooth Q2 comparison? I'm very interested in which one stabilizes better.
Very informative 'first view' video! 👍 I've had this gimbal since its Kickstarter campaign and love it! Wee tip: If people are still seeing the gimbal motor in their shots, they can 'fine tune' their phone's position by sliding it ever so slightly more to the left once the gimbal is powered on (it's probably best to initially do this with the gimbal on a mini tripod to free up your hands until you get used to doing it with one hand/no tripod) 😉
Great tip thanks for sharing 🙂
Another excellent review, really enjoy your videos...
GRT vid. Just curious sir, if you has to choose between this and the Osmo 3...?
How do you think the stabilizer works in comparison to the Osmo mobile regarding the compensation of the internal iPhone stabilization? In your outside walk it looked like a lot of up and down movement when the internal stabilization worked against the external gimbal stabilization. Looking forward to your opinion and comparison
Really you’re the best man thanks 🙏🏻
From where can I buy this MICROPHONE !
Is it possible (space) to also connect the Røde microphone the other way, so that you can use it to record som from yourself?
Great advice
Hopefully in the future this can also be used for GoPro
Does this gimbal have panorama mode e.g. 3×3 as in osmo mobile 3 ? Please do reply.
Great video
thanks!
I am buyed this yesterday 🤩
Can I connect it to Filmic pro ?
Your video is pretty informative but there is no information about the Firmware or the Zhiyun Play App. Seems this is needed to use some of the functions. For some reason the photo and video expose button is not functioning. Any advice on this? Otherwise as usual very nice review!
Good.. Video..
plz review

Since picking up the Pocket, I've been debating whether to keep or sell my Osmo II. It's a fairly bulky piece of kit that I didn't use as much as I wanted because of its size and weight...but...I can't discount how much better footage I can get with my Galaxy S9+, plus zoom and better audio capture.
I also have an Osmo Pocket and got the Smooth Q2 as well because of it’s size and my phone takes much nicer video. I’ve used both at the same time; my phone to capture regular video shots and my pocket for hyperlapse footage while walking around. I’ve also shot events with both to offer different angles as well. I have noticed that I do use my Pocket less now that I have the Q2, though I still love my Pocket.
welcome to the party pal!
Should be 1.3 million subs not 131K but guessing you’ll get there 👍
I wish the osmo mobile 3 had a vortex or semi vortex mode but no.
El estabilizador smooth Q2 es de buena calidad pero tiene varios defectos graves:
- Si lo pones en vertical se ve el motor y te fastidia la toma, por lo que hay que usarlo siempre en ángulo de 45 grados
- No tiene botones para controlar el zoom ni el joystick tampoco vale para eso
- No tiene modo follow me (lo pones con el trípode y te sigue) o al menos yo no lo he encontrado
Me arrepiento de haber confiado que al ser mas caro que el que tenía en mente (el Hohem iSteady X) iba a ser mejor, pero en este caso el más barato si llevaba todo lo que este carece
nice
Please tell me which one should I buy smooth Q4 Smooth Q2 or DJI Osmo Mobile 3??
Which did you get?
so you choose what..? pls answer.. im on confused position too
Have you tried this gimbal with iphone 11 pro. Mine, sound significantly better without rode mic. Perhaps something to do with ios 13.3?
11 pro has great mic and stability
The size is great but once you started walking during the test video oh, it was bouncing all over the place. My osmo mobile 2 doesn't do that.
Im 27th viewer bro..
This is very useful to my channel..
Thank u bro..
I can’t close the lock fully. Does anyone else have this problem?
Having problems with charging mine

nice review. tip for your next video. we don't need to see more of your arm. till half of this video, the product is half shown.
I have it, received just few days ago and I think it has several serious problems. 1) it has micro shakes 2) it is unstable if you want to tern, make it up and down. It loses the balance 3) It is not well designed, you often see the gimbal part at your screen. I am thinking to sell it and take other better brand.
Good review, but I think that gimbal is not really good 😅
The Iphone 11 pro is stable like that. You can still see the steps. It doesn’t look much different. Good review. You saved me $140 😁
does it fit gopro hero 8?
Not as is But there are adapters that makes gopros work in smart phone gimbals. However I have not tested it in this particular gimbal yet
@@AirPhotography Thanks so much :)
@@zephany2601 did you try gopro on it ? I want to buy it for gopr. Thanks
I really wasn’t impressed with that gimbal because I saw every step you took.
Ed Rambeau agreed nowadays a GoPro 8 will smooth this the most and you don’t even need a gimbal and it’s smaller , lighter and waterproof.
What I find useful for a gimbal is active track and motionlapse(timelapse but I can select the points to start and stop etc )
@@SingaporeUntold The GoPro uses electronic image stabilisation only though. Means if you want to use the proper 180-degree rule for the shutter speed you will still get blurry footage.
I hope that you didn’t try to hold the phone still. It didn’t work
you lose your iPhone when its hooked up to this Gimbal, you have to have two iPhone, one for the gimbal and one to keep you InTouch with the world

poor demo ever seen...this is no instruction man, this only usefull as a remembre for users all ready worked with this gimbal. for a instruction/review much to high speed talking and "showing how too". Missing: no expl. about the meaning pf to pof, how to put in vortex? (is does not work by my gimbal Q2) the only new I for me: the mic. (8:35)
🤷♂️
I guess this and other reviews are paid reviews, or at least Zhiyun sends free gimbals to reviewers... Even now I face problems with gimbal and do not understand why you dont talk about its downsizes...
What are the down sides?
