Thank you for this video..I’ve just upgraded to this gimbal from a zhiyun q3 combo and this video helped me make my decision. This video was fantastic and it helped me make my mind up to buy it..THANKYOU
Hey graet video Benett! One question - how do I reduce depth of field or blur background when using the Zhiyun Smooth? It's easy enough in my native iPhone camera app, but don't see a similar set up with ZY Cami? thanks! 😃
Why is so jittery when screen recording? 5:21 ... Is this like the DJI OM3, 4, 5 and 6, that can only work with phones with Electronic image stabilization, because they dont compleatlly stabilize your phone? Or was it really windy? Or did you not balance it properlly? ..... This is not how the Ziyun Smooth 4 is. I can even jump with that old thing and will keep the phone as stable as it can be.
Awesome Video! I am using the Smooth 5 on an iPhone 14 Pro Max and very excited! I wanted to se the name of the sound effect of the vortex shot to get that whooshing sound in post. Thank you!
Can it handle the size and weight of iPhone 14 Pro Max + Moment case + Monent lenses with filters? I seriously can’t believe it’s 2023 and I’m still asking this question. I don’t want to have to take off my case every time I use a gimbal and I want to use attachment filters and lenses. Thanks
Hii Benett, your video are awesome. I have a question, here on 5:21 the camera video looks shaking but the result was absolutely stable. Did you edit that ? can you share us how u edit somehting like that ? Thankyou in advance
@@BenettGraezerThankyou for the responses, I will look forward about it and try edit video with final cut pro. Did you make the video stable by slowing the video and decreasing the fps into 24fps ?

Zhiyun Smooth 5s PROS: - Longer Batterylife - Stronger Motors - Built-in Light - Full 360 Degree rotation - Built-in Power Bank to charge phone - Great to use if you have a heavier phone and want to mount a third party lens with a filter DJI Osmo Mobile 6 PROS: - Coompact Size and Foldable - Liteweight - Quicker Setup Time - Built in extension pole - Magnetic Clamp - Great for traveling as the size is very small
Hello, First of all thank you very much for sharing this video and I am thinking of buying this zhiyun smooth 5s for the first time. But what is this Premium black card that comes with it Is this a special program and how do I use it?
Hello, I have a question! I film myself drawing a lot, and I make shorts out of it. I want to buy this gimbal, however, there is no built in extension pole? Any help with that?
Thank you for fantastic video, I have question please I use 14 pro so I am really confused between smoth 5s and DJI Osmo mobile 6 so gave me your opinion and what better Thanks my friend and good luck
great review thank you. but apparently it does not auto rotate from vertical to horizontal mode or vice versa. need to manually change the orientation. hope zhiyun will fix it on smooth 6
Can the "follow tracking" on a gimbal be turned off please. I want to film what I'm pointing my phone at as if the phone is welded to the gimble, but keeping stabilization active. Thanks.
This was an excellent video. Loved your presentation and you got me eager to visit Switzerland. You just convinced me to buy this gimbal. Heading to Amazon now. BTW...do you sell the LUTs that you used in this video?
Thanks for watching Rogan! Glad you enjoyed the content. Yes I do, you can find the LUT pack here: benettgraezer.com/product/smartphone-filmmaking-lut-pack/ Have fun shooting!
Can this gimbal be used to change from rear camera to front facing camera in the iPhone native camera app? I’m looking for a gimbal that will support the weight of a 14 pro max, but also allow me to switch between lenses in the native app.
Hey nice Video. I bought the Smoorth5S now too. But I can't activate him, cause the ZY App me always asked for an certification Code. But I found no one in the box of the Smooth5. Do you habe any idea where I can finde this code?
@@BenettGraezer Thanks for you reply. You really gave me great idea related to attaching microphone to smartphone while using it with Zhiyun Smooth 5S. Thanks for caring for your viewers. Keep creating awesome videos. Previously I forgot to mention that you really gone to field to create such awesome review of Zhiyun Smooth 5S which i thought is great way to demonstrate any product. Cheers to you.
I still have the Zhiyun Smooth 5s and it holds up pretty well. Just make sure to check your payload otherwise it will have negative outcome on the gimbal motors.
Ahoj chcem sa spýtať chcel by som natáčať tzv orbitalne zábery okolo objektu (nie človeka) je možné nie kde na gimbále zalockovať žeby sa zaostril na jeden bod a ten by držal pri tom ako by som ja okolo objektu krúžil je to možné
Thank you for the video, But I see the unedited footage on phone is shaky, Is it normal with Zhiyun smooth 5 / or any gimbal ? So do we need to stabilize in post as well?
Well I do most of the time add post stabilization if it helps improve the stabilization. It was very windy on that day, so that could be the cause of the video being a bit shaky. That is usually not the case with the Zhiyun Smooth 5s :)
@@BenettGraezer thank you . I bought a brand new Zhiyun smooth 5 gimbal and it looks like the device is malfunctioning, the stabilization is not ok even if I do a ninja walk . Planning to get a replacement. Thank you once again , good day!
@@BenettGraezer Before watching your video I had bought the Osmo 6... I returned it and I'm receiving the Smooth 5s on 01/12/22... now I'll have to learn the hardest one. Thanks for listening!
@@valdenissilva3333 why did you return it? i too have ordered om 6 but after watching reviews of its limitations on various angles am feeling to cancel the order. please advise
@@vee5931 if you plan on adding external lenses, save your time and just order the Smooth 5. I had the OM5 (similar payload to the OM5) and it couldn't handle my Pixel 7 plus an external wide lens which made the setup 287g. I put that exact same setup on the Smooth 5 and haven't had one issue.
I stick with thr default camera app most of the time as it most lukely will produce the best quality, unless I need the features inside thd ZY CAMI app
I’m got this gimbal and noticed when you use the tilt (aiming the camera up and down) I hear some slight clicks almost rubbery sounds. Is this normal to hear these sounds on a gimbal? I only tried it indoors so maybe the audio is just sensitive to it cause it’s so quiet inside
Even though you have a gimbal, and "ninja walk", do you still stabilize your clips before you release a final video? I'm just surprised I still need to stabilize my clips that come from the Smooth 5 even though my phone is on a perfectly balanced gimbal and it has the phone's internal stabilization on. Is it unfair to expect that I should have nearly "drone level stability" from these newer phones with all this great stabilization added to a perfectly balanced gimbal?
@@l.b.6680 My Google Pixel 7 has a stabilization feature in my phone that I've found to be better than my computer based stabilization on Davinci Resolve. But either of those ways will work.
If you plan to be recording while walking I don't recommend it. Is not going to be smooth recording. There needs to be a 4 axis cellular stabilizer to work like a real steady cam. This product is made to work while you stay still and just wave and extend your arms around for it to work smoothly.

Totally agree, thought I was getting an upgrade but the Smooth 5s to me is a downgrade from my previous smooth 4 in terms of stability.
This paired with the iPhone 13 Pro and up is gold for new filmmakers this mini setup can take you to many levels
Absolutely 👍🏻
Love your videos bro! Keep'em coming! If you can do one just for the specific modes and when to use each, that would be great! thanks again!

Best review about Zhiyun smooth 5s . I'd like to try gimbal with smarphone so this video is great motivation. THX for share
great video i currently use zhiyun smooth xs , but that 5s looks great
Thanks for sharing
Quick question, don't you find the gimbal's arm and bracket hindering the view of the mobile screen while using the gimbal for making a video especially when the mobile is on horizontal mode.
Can i use all of those buttons without filmic pro ? Will the buttons work on another app like switcher studio ?
Maybe not.😨
How would you compare with the DJI OM6? Having 2nd thoughts now.. help me decide…! 😩
Zhiyun Smooth 5s PROS:
- Longer Batterylife
- Stronger Motors
- Built-in Light
- Full 360 Degree rotation
- Built-in Power Bank to charge phone
- Great to use if you have a heavier phone and want to mount a third party lens with a filter
DJI Osmo Mobile 6 PROS:
- Coompact Size and Foldable
- Liteweight
- Quicker Setup Time
- Built in extension pole
- Magnetic Clamp
- Great for traveling as the size is very small
