I think iphone 6SPLUS is too big and cumbersome for zhiyun smooth 2. Add moondog lens will tip over and need extra counter weight. Best is iphone SE. Same specs as iphone 6S. Do you have to remove your iphone screen protector?
There is a one counterweight included in the package. I had also a metal nut of the same diameter which I taped at the end of the original counterweight. I am still experimenting with this own combo, it is a little overweight but works mainly ok with the strong motors. Try only with your own responsibility! The phone tilts easily over, the gimbal can stop working and do not tape over the counterweight.
Great video! Can you please post a picture of your set up? I just purchased the Smooth C along with the Moondog Lens and unfortunately it's too heavy on the lens side. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated!
Sean Andreas With the two counterweights it was ok for a two-week testing period but since that I have not used the lens. It did not affect much to the duration of the battery but the gimbal was at times a little more unpredictable.
Sean Andreas It mainly works well but turns are heavier and slower and sometimes the gimbal might tilt suddenly. The battery works nice and long. You must have an extra second weight added, e.g. a metal nut with the same diameter as the weight.
I purchased the Zhiyun Smooth-II and love it. Do you know if you can use the USB AC adapter from your iPhone to charge the Smooth II, or is there an exclusive unit sold somewhere to charge it using AC?
Can you measure the maximum width the gimbal cradle will fit? My phone with a case has a width of a little over 84mm or 3.3 inches. And thickness of a little over 14mm.
James Mar I can only answer that the manufactor indicates it is suitable for 3.5"- 6.5" Smartphone. My iPhone 6s+ is ok with the counterweight included in the package.
Qui Truong Normally it works but now after the latest ios update there is a header bug which will be fixed soon. What I did was copied all the FilmicPro .mov files to another folder and renamed all .mov files to .mpeg with a freeware www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php.
Qui Truong Now the new footage taken with FilmicPro can be again imported as .mov to Premiere but the footage taken with FilmicPro from around mid-September to beginning of October 2016 will stay corrupted. The FilmicPro support said .mov files worked with Quicktime 10 but not version 7 so this is probably a problem for Windows users only.
aL Carmaze It comes with one, try to find additionally a metal nut with the same diameter and tape it at the end of the weight, experiment at your own responsibility, here's a pic of a nut: pixabay.com/en/fastener-hardware-metal-nut-1295386/
Aw man! I just wanted to see someone use the Smooth gimbal with a Moondog lens. Now I'm just sad for not having visited Helsinki for far too long.

Tapani R hey nice footage. Was worried about using the moondog. Is the gimbal holding up for you?

Ed Rambeau All the the usual 5V ~1A phone chargers including iPhone are ok. IPad etc chargers are 2A.
