I frigid love you man. Everything I’m getting you have gone over. I just started with drones. I have Air 2s,DJI FPV, GoPro 9, and now this.. Your awesome. I just have to start flying.
Two issues: You can't see or use the screen; the pitch access motor will have to work extra hard because of the thickness of the GoPro compared to a smartphone, so that motor could burn out more quickly, unless you balance it.
Nice review! I kinda wish you'd go more into using it with the GoPro as I'm deciding if I should go with this or the feiyu G6. How did the videos come out with the GoPro? Was it hard to get to the buttons while filming?
Thanks for a very nice review! i am not good at pfhoto but trying to learn and i have an question for you, this one seems pretty cheap as gimbals go and the dual function is nice, my question is do you know if you can mount this in any way to when you ride a motorbike or vespa for riding shots? chest mount or handlebar? it is just the stabilization im after in that case. i think there is one Zhiyun that you can detach the head-gimbal and mount on the chest for a go pro, but that is aa diffrent price range. keep up the good work i appriciate your informative films!
Good job, I picked up my Smooth 4 (white!) today and watched a ton of videos to learn the features. But there are so many they get missed. I didn’t find the zoom until you showed me! Plus a few others! A tip: I noticed in many of your clips in the video, the camera moves in a jerky fashion. You tend to jerk the gimbal around (see where you show the GoPro vs lock). Remember the main purpose of a gimbal is a steady shot during hand-held filming that mechanically absorbs and forgives some of your own errors. So let the gimbal stabilizing function do its job, and as the camera man, support that by keeping your own motion still and give the device as little to forgive as you can; stay at the same height while walking (when you lift up and down and up and down during these shots it cancels the steady cam effect); and generally, move with graceful sweeps and a quiet physicality, whether moving fast or slow. This will allow the stabilizer the least interference as it tries to do what it was made to do - maintain a stable, steady camera image that holds your attention in the story, and lets you forget there even is a camera. You, too, are a human gimbal, the other half of a graceful dancing duo. I look forward to hearing back - practice and post some shots of your improved technique, I predict you’ll see a difference right away!
Hi , 1st time watched your video and it’s very informative as well. As I am new RU-vidr and I am shooting with iPhone 11 Pro Max. Can you give me suggestion for need full accessories,I mean Gimbal , Tripod, cordless mic and other accessories please. Regards!
er-go-nom-ic - Ergonomic. It is ergonomic. I assume that was what you were trying to say when you kept saying aeronomical? Nice video otherwise. Thanks
Using gopro on smooth 4 you can't see the composition on display. You can use a gopro adapter for that, but you can't conect gopro to gimbal becose gopro have not bluetooth. You can't manage remotly the gopro. Can't start and stop recording, take a picture and other comand. Fortunely gopro 5 and new type have voice comand feature for that. But in an issue for gopro.
Hi sir , i just bought a zhiyun smooth 4 . But I can’t pair my zy app to GoPro . Can sir share with me how to connect (control ) zhiyun smooth 4 with GoPro ?
This gimbal is partnered with Filmic Pro so all the buttons on the gimbal relate to the settings with FilmicPro. When in stand-by mode, you don’t have to worry about re-setting the camera settings on the phone as Smooth4 has your back!
Good video thank you, how did you monitor the picture and do you think the smooth 5 gimbal would it work with GoPro 10 and the media mod ? that would be nice to find out
Thanks! Good review! I was considering this, I have a Smooth Q which is more basic, now I’m thinking it may not be necessary to upgrade as you’ve indicated that you use the iPhone controls and settings more than the zhiyun app. I use both and also filmic pro. FP seems to have more control, but I don’t use that so often as the iPhone because of the battery usage on the other apps. Would you say in real world terms that the upgrade tools/app are not used as much as the basics? Thank you
Thank you for review. I bought one, it is not fit for android phone, zoom and some option not work properly in android. Hope the update app will recover it.
When I use zhiyun Smooth4, the light on it usually turns from blue to pink, and then suddenly drops down in the process of shooting. I don't know whether it is in sleep mode or not. Even though the stabilizer is falling down, the buttons are still working every time. This often happens especially to interfere with filming. I don't know if anyone has had that experience and know how to fix it?
I believe in those cases its not balanced right and is putting undue stress on the motors and battery life and does that. It use to do that to me until I figured out my stupidity and forgot to balance the camera before turning it on. Now this was a smart phone and not a gopro. The GoPro doesn't balance perfectly anyway, but still have to make sure its setup the best you can before turning on.
I am using zhiyun 3 axis gimbal. When I record video with this gimbal video will be jerked... Video couldn't record smoothly. Without gimbals video will record very smoothly.... Tell me the solution.
at first I was very excited but when I tried it with my Samsung galaxy note 9 everything went wrong, the Bluetooth was disconnected all the time and the Android application is not how the Apple, I am sad because I love that gimbal and all the construction but I can't use it
great idea about mounting gopro, only issue is you cant see the screen anymore. This can be a problem if you are filming a walking video as is the trend today. Using the cheap ebay mount is far better.
I have found this product on Amazon but on one show me how to using them with Gopro , luckily I have found your video! Thank you so much appreciated! love your cat by the way..look so that a cat is so ready to be a Model on video ha ha.. like & subscribed done!!!
Two major issues with this (bough it the other day) - no 360 degree, and no ability to roll - all shots have to be perfectly level, not angled. That is a step backwards from the Smooth Q.
When I use the action camera after a few minutes, the gimbal goes into stand by mode by itself ! It does not happened when I use the phone. Has that ever happened to you?
Nice video & thanks for the review. I’m curious what you use to record your unboxing video and how you mount the camera above the work surface. Thanks.
Great gimbal but do you really still need a gimbal with the hero6? ... i use the fusion grip with the hero6 and i like it a lot...very stable combo imho...but for smartphone's it looks great! Is it also a little bit compatible with Filmic Pro?
Got to do some more intensity for testing these gimbals, sorry man, love the garden, the cat and the plastic flamingo... but hand that gimbal to your parkour buddy and see what he/she thinks of it after a test run.
