I've watched so many reviews on this product and this was by far the best, it explained so well what the different modes were which I found quite difficult to grasp. Thanks
4:40: you said you can charge your phone while using it on the gimbal, but there is no way to get access to your phone's charging port 😂 this is probably a huge design flaw.
This is the best tutorial that I have seen for the Zhiyum Smooth 5. I have looked at other 'recommended' videos but I found them frustrating, as I tried to understand my first gimble.
"FINALLY" in my the rock voice 😁 I've been searching for a video that would explain what the modes mean. I got so frustrated and went to Google it and your video showed up and I put all kinds of key words in the CZcams search bar to find this clear and understanding tutorial on the smooth 5 thank you so much friend ❤
awesome stuff! just an fyi, you don't have to actually turn the whole gimbal around in a circular movement for the vortex mode. just simply push the joystick up or down and it'll do it for you! (it took me a while to figure that out)
Really thank you for this beautiful demonstration of the Smooth 5, I love your energy and your clear and intuitive explanations. When you had it rotated at this time: 08:30 I'm a little disappointed with the jerky movements.... Do you think we can do this again without jerks? or should it be made more fluid in post production? I am eagerly awaiting your response.
Thank you for review. I bought first dji osmo mobile 6 , but it doesn't do perpendicular shots, which is this gimble does. So guys who mostly vlogging ant taking picture of themselves go with dji. This is my point, good luck to all of you
Please help me how should i connect smooth 5s gimbal with zy cami app please help i need your support i tried many times couldn't connect with zy cami even opening mobile blutooth plz help how to connect
yeah that really sucks...I have the same phone and with cinematic it could deliver some really nice results. I think its probably still useful to some extent without the app.
Is there a comprehensive list somewhere that shows compatibility with phones? Seems like every video there's someone asking about a specific phone. There must be a list to solve this question.
Hi, Firstly, thank you for the ZHIYUN smooth 5 review. It is good and comprehensive too. But I would like to know if I'm using Samsung Note 10 lite, Would I able to get all the features of Smooth 5 on the Gimbal as well as the apps function properly? As most of the reviews was made with iPhone, so I'm wondering the Smooth 5 will actually good for Android phone. Thank you and hear from you soon.
Only can use 1080P 30 fps and 4K 30 fps modes. The gimbal has not been updated for newer phones. DJI is just as bad with Android limits to 30 fps. What a joke in 2023.. who records 30 fps 1080P? it's useless, and you certainly can't slow it down for fx
@@a.k1102 it’s more user friendly as simple as that. I have been using smooth 5 for a while and I think I made a huge mistake buying it. Also read the reviews. Also DJI is a bigger brand.
hello. thanks for the information, im newbie for gimbal. many of review about this gimbal and tell about positive . sorry can you give us a tutorial on how to use gimbal on each mode until become one smooth cinematic video? will help if you can do that…
There is a big problem with this gimble. The gimble cannot stabilize video if in camera stabilization is turned off. Also because of the very short phone holder (mostly android) even after balancing the phone remains off centered.
How does the video quality differ since you have to record in the camera app the gimbal requires? I know some alternate camera apps will have different looks to them.
Hi Khoa. If you want to achieve this function, you need to activate memembership and use livestream Master to achieve this function. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Feel free to DM me here: facebook.com/officialzhiyunsupport/
Hi, Marc. When the indicator light stays solid, the charging is complete. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Feel free to DM me here: facebook.com/officialzhiyunsupport/
Hi Ahmat. Can your Smooth 5 be turned on? If you cannot charge via cable, your gimbal may have an issue. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Feel free to DM me here: facebook.com/officialzhiyunsupport/
Why I have to pay some functions of the app if I have just payd for the gimbal??? Also, the app has many issues. I am very very nervous. Where is the Zhiyun reputation? Quickly solve all issues and give all free for your gimbal customers. Hop, hop, come on!!!
Average review only. Instead of talking about selfexplaining parts better explain and give examples of each tracking mode. This is the main reason for a gimbal. And, BTW, you could not find a smaller microphone or a less prominent place. Sometimes I thought it is a review about a microphone.

How would you connect a Rode Wireless Go. The arm is blocking the IPhone port
Excellent informative video - thanks very much. For me, it would have been even better without the unnecessary and intrusive music track.
How are you supposed to charge your phone when the charging port is right against the tilt motor?!
Just got this. I'm excited to open it tom
Thank you very much for a great work on it. Can you tell me if the new smooth has an option to customise path on time laps like DJI OM4 and 5 does?
Was thinking the same thing. I have om4 but it only can pan left to right. Would be awesome to have different up and down options
Please help me how should i connect smooth 5s gimbal with zy cami app please help i need your support i tried many times couldn't connect with zy cami even opening mobile blutooth plz help how to connect
Just got mine and kinda bummed cinematic mode in the app isn’t an option as I have the 13pro max
yeah that really sucks...I have the same phone and with cinematic it could deliver some really nice results. I think its probably still useful to some extent without the app.
Try the StaCam app. It is more professional app.
Another chinese app it seems! No thanks
How smooth is zooming in and out when recording. Does it stutter at each quarter marker? Let me know what you can, thank you.
This is perfect for me thank you for everything!

I have bought smooth 5 recently but I didn’t do my due diligence. Now I find that DJi OM5 is a better gimbal.
oh interesting - I really enjoy the smooth 5
How is the dji better exactly?

@@gurnihalrai DJI IS A BIGGER BRAND AND ITS EASIER TO USE FOR DUMMIES !!!!!
@@gurnihalrai I LOVE DJIIIII !!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not get my phone and gimbal to connect through the zy cami app or the stacam app
Hi great video
Do you know if its any good for fast moving video like skiing
Nice video thank you. Question i have a Samsung A41. this is a Samsung phone but not a high end on. is this Samsung A41 compatible with the Smooth 5?
Helli. Can you please help me? Why none of the bottuns not working? Just zoom part works?!
Hi! A question: What would happen if you turn the power on on the gimbal, when it is in locked mode?
hello. thanks for the information, im newbie for gimbal. many of review about this gimbal and tell about positive . sorry can you give us a tutorial on how to use gimbal on each mode until become one smooth cinematic video? will help if you can do that…
Can you use this with a microphone cord attached to the iphone?
Does yours ever freak out and jerk all around.? It won’t let me calibrate it either? Thinking I need to send it back. But maybe it’s user error..
I have recently purchased this gimbal and I haven't got it to work right yet
Will it control 3 party apps like beastcam or other video apps
There is a big problem with this gimble. The gimble cannot stabilize video if in camera stabilization is turned off. Also because of the very short phone holder (mostly android) even after balancing the phone remains off centered.

Video quality in the native app is generally better than using the Zy Cami or StaCam
Hi there
Can I use smart follow mode for video calling like Facebook Messenger or Zoom...?
Thank you in advance

Anyone missing the option to record in 60 fps?
Will the Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra work with this?
How come these reviews never talk about steadiness when walking;? That’s all I care about.
Hello, may i ask what kind of apps to download connected to smooth 5?
Smooth 5 can work with ZY Cami, StaCam, and Filmic Pro.
For charging the gimbal can we use the iphone charger ? or we have to buy a seperate charger plz help
use the iPhone charger, with usb c output
How do I know that the device is fully charged?
Hi, Marc. When the indicator light stays solid, the charging is complete.

Is it big amd heavy?
Doesn’t fold well for travel, but it’s lightweight
None of these videos explain how crucial it is to have a iPhone to get full functionality.
why do u say that ? you can use the gimbal on filmic on android so what functionalities are there that were missing on?
No AI MODE in 2022
has anyone use this with iphone 13 pro max with any issue?
Sometimes it changes orientation inadvertently when tilting, but it’s more substantial than the om5, which I had to return.
good gimbal, bad software. pano 3x3 doesnt work for the most phones

Great video, bought it immediately. It’s fantastic for POV porn filmmaking if anyone was wondering, because i was
You are very bad tutor. So fast and thinking as if all are professionals. First try to learn art of telling.
