QUICK UPDATES: The manual focus function doesn't work on the Cami App anymore. Not sure if this is what Zhiyun intended or not, but for now, the only way to use it is by using their new app called Stacam, which is a semi-professional app (almost like filmic pro) that will also support most of of the buttons from the gimbal. The app still needs some work in my opinion and some advanced features are behind a payed subscription. I recommend that you give this app a try, If you don't like it you can keep using the Cami app as usual. PLEASE let me know what you think or thought about STACAM. Thank you, and as always, I hope you have an amazing day!
Your tutorial was great! I tried Stacam, but I was largely off put by the fact that they want me to subscribe for rule of third lines. That's insane pricing to me.
MOST EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! In most cases I have to watch 10 minutes to get 1 minute of information. In this tutorial in 10 minutes I get so much information, it would take others an hour. THANK YOU Otto! If you are not yet, you should be official Zhiun representative as I don't think they could do better job themselves.
Wow thank you so much for your kind and awesome feedback. I’m really glad that this was helpful and let’s wait for ZHIYUN to make me an offer in the near future lol
I bought the smooth five like five months ago and I’m so overwhelmed. It’s still sitting in the box. I found your video, and I am going to start learning how to use it.
Thank you, Otto! Excellent video…Just picked up a Smooth 5, and felt a bit overwhelmed with all the functions. You do an excellent job breaking it down for slower folks like me :). Thank you!
Thank you Otto, this is a great help as i have just purchased this gimbal. I have watched other youtube videos from others but yours is the best, because you speak clear and at a speed that i can understand all that your saying with your detailed instruction`s, so brilliant i am now going to watch your other videos.
Such a perfect detailed explanation of every button of the gimbal. Here in India there is no service center of DJI ,so this time tried smooth 5 and it’s impressive and durable.
Awesome job Otto. I've watched 4 videos and this one is the best, by far, for beginners like me. It is the only one that mentions not to turn on the gimbel without first mounting the phone. It also walks you through the basics so you can start using the phone with gimbel. Great job. I've bookmarked it so that I can keep coming back.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the clear, step-by-step instructions! I was about to toss this thing out a window before watching your video. Zhiyun should hire you if they haven't already.
thank you Ann for your kind words! really glad it was helpful! no they haven't hired me, and probably won't but it's ok, since I also do review their gimbals and I like to be on a neutral position where I can say what I like about them and what I don't like :D
I never even knew what a gymbal was until i saw it at someone else. I just bought this one, not knowing anything about it. Your video helps alot! Perfectly explained! Thank you so much for that!
Hello Otto, Many thanks for the video clearly explaining how to get started with Zhiyun smooth 5. I do really appreciate the step by step guidance you showed. I try to know the way to customize the Fn bouton, but I’m still struggling to find the way to process. Thanks again, Cheers
Thank you Otto...same here, just received my Smooth 5...going from DJI. My Note 20 Ultra shoots beautiful footage. Hoping the Smooth 5 can hadle the weight better than the DJI. Awsome tutorials! Clear and detailed. You have a new subscriber sir!
Thanks Julian, I visited your vedio trying to find out what the various modes were meant for and how those worked. And I am glad I found a fabulous explanation on your this vedio. Your manner of explaining is amazing too.
Omg Thank u so much for this video.I have this guimbal for few weeks now and didn’t know how to do the setup etc.Your explanations are clear and simple to understand.
@@OttoJulian_ So if I understand well we can’t use this guimbal with apps like Skype,iPhone normal camera or any other video call apps?Excuse me for this lame question.I am not very techy 😅
@@lalamichele6182 no worries! Well the gimbal will work even if you are using other apps like Skype, but using the gimbal app with Skype is not going to work. This will result in no face tracking. If you pay their prime membership you can use some streaming services, but I don’t think Skype is included
Amazing video. I just purchased the smooth 5s, however once iv balanced and set everything up, if I slightly move left to right, through the camera it looks like it’s wobbling or not stable. Is this on every gimbal or a defect on mine?
Your videos are great and also how you explain products in a clear and understandable way. After seeing your video about Dji Pocket 2, I bought it. Now I will give myself the Zhiyun for Christmas. Thank you and keep it up. 👍🙂
hello Fars! always good to hear from you! Have you been enjoying your Pocket 2? this Smooth 5 is pretty much pro level, I'm sure that most of the people who bought it should be quite happy with the results, the only thing I don't like compared to other gimbals is the size which makes it less portable, but on most cases this is not a big factor
@@OttoJulian_ Yes I like the Dji Pocket 2 but unfortunately it is not possible to lock exposure and focus. Even not nice for me as beginner and Hohem isteady mobile plus not works with my Samsung Note 20 ultra. So after viewing your video and information about this gimbal I decide to buy it. But it is currently not available at Amazon Germany. I hope soon. Here a video about Hamburg maye by me with the Dji Pocket 2. th-cam.com/video/Fcf0fYjP0Zc/w-d-xo.html
Cheers my gimbal arrived today.couldn’t activate or register the gimbal had failed anomaly with the cami app. Thankfully Filmic Pro now works with it which I have so learning to use it with that for now. I sent in a ticket but haven’t heard back from the makers yet.
Quick question, im new to the zhiyun smooth 5, great video, but what does the 2nd usb port on one of the motors do? Does it charge the phone or maybe the detachable light?
This totally excellent, I have been trying to set up my gimbal for the past 24hrs. I'd to ask, how do I make my gimbal stay at a particular position? The moment I drop it without using it it automatically moves itself to rest mode.
Thank you For this video. I just received my smooth five I am not very tech savvy. Do you have to always use the Kami app when filming? Or can you just turn on your phone and use the gimbal?
It has an extra function. Normally you press the selfie trigger 3x. however, depending on the zoom ex(0.5), the axis will appear and that would be bad. So to correct this point, in selfie mode, press the trigger 4x, it will change the axis backwards. The funny thing is that there is nothing like this in the manual. but it works!!
Thankyou for the tutorial and your review on the smooth 5. I was set to buy the DJI OM 5 until I watched your comparison video. For me, the smooth 5 was definitely the right choice, The choice was easily made because of your clear, concise and unbiased review. I was hoping you could point in the right direction on something I can't seem to figure out on my own. I wish to record some movement drills with the smooth 5 in order to analyze any make corrections where needed. The problem I'm having is that when I have chosen myself to be tracked (will be using on a stand) I can't activate the hand gesture feature to initiate the recording or vise versa. When it comes to tech I've been known to miss the obvious. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy note 20 ultra. On a different note I've also recently acquired a DJI mini 2 so my thanks and appreciation doesn't start or end with the smooth 5 lol. Cheers.
hey there! congrats on your Mini 2! it's a nice little drone! did you figure out the hand gesture? you have to activate it on the main screen. I'll try it out to see if it's not working. There was a recent update to the Cami app and lots of features stopped working. I emailed Zhiyun about this but I guess any fix will come after their current holidays over there (Chinese New Year celebrations)
Hi Otto and thanks for your excellent tutorial. I have a question. My phone is an iPhone PRO Max, I fine balanced the gimball, but I notice that phone is always slightly lying a little bit on the left. I've tried hard but I am unable to fix this and having it perfectly horizontal. Any suggestion?
I ordered this Smooth 5 and I have a 14 pro max....The Smooth 4 doesn't work with 14 pro max as it just flops to the left after I make maximum adjustments..... I hope its not the case for the Smooth 5.... let me know if you find a workaround...
Hola q tal excelente video felicidades pero hace poco adquirí este estabilizador y no me funciona el enfoque y desenfóquenlo probé en celulares y nada que podría ser fallo de fábrica?
Zhiyun ha removido esta caracteristica (no sabemos si es un error o no) de la CAMI APP. Para usar el enfoque manual con la rueda hay que bajar la aplicación llamada STACAM, es de ellos también y ahi si funciona para enfocar manual. Les he pedido que arreglen el enfoque en CAMI APP pero hasta el momento no lo han hecho
Another great video. Your videos always inspire me to buy something new. Last year I bought the Dji Pocket 2 and today the Zhiyun smooth 5. I have two questions: 1. I have a Samsung Note 20 ultra. Why doesn't Focus work with the wheel? 2. Can you make a video how to do dolly zoom with this gimbal? I do not understand how it works. Thank you in advance
hello Fars! there was a recent update and the focus wheel doesn't work for now. I was in contact with Zhiyun about this issue and they said they would take a look at it. They also now offer another app called "StaCam", which has more a few more pro features than the Cami App, and the focus wheel works there (tested on my iPhone, will test on Android soon)
Thank you for this super helpful video that declutters and makes life so much easier. I have a question for you: is there is a way to switch on the gesture identification while not enabling the autotracking by the phone ?
yeah I believe that in the settings you can turn auto track on. I don't have the gimbal with me right now so I can't take a look to confirm, but most gimbals have this option
congratulations for the video. I have a question: how do I change the mobile phone recording lens in the CAMi software? by default it uses the x1 lens, I wanted to use the x0.6 to have greater depth
hi, yes it will help to smooth out the footsteps but you also need to walk accordingly. You need to use pan follow (the mode that locks the tilt so it doesn't look up or down, sorry, sometimes I forget the names since every gimbal uses a different one)
Thank you for the video. It was very very helpful. Quick question: can you record video while playing music so you can hear it on the video? Thanks again.
Ok, I solved my startup question but I'll try another one for you. I put my phone on the gimbal and was testing out the movement. All of a sudden my cell phone is out of battery. I mean the screen is blank. I was not running the app either. What drained my phone? to I need to cable my phone to keep it charged?
hi Robert, no you don't need a cable attached to your cell phone, it sounds like your phone just died. Remember that when shooting video it will drain the battery faster (I'm assuming you were using the regular camera app, did you check how much battery you had before testing the gimbal?)
hello Nur, I think they are the same, unless you use their other (newer) app called Stacam, which has more features and works with everything on the Smooth 5 but you lose other features like tracking, timelapses, etc
for livestream I suggest to just use the Smooth 5 as a tripod/holder and use your desired app as normal. The only advantage of using this over an actual tripod is if you are moving around, since it will stabilize your movements
Grazie! Bravo. I’m a processional photographer (no video) and l would like to play with this gimbal and my phone, before buy a DSRL gimbal. Thanks again, great video.
Quick question: Can you still switch modes using the mode button while on the iPhone’s native camera? And also, which buttons still function while using the native camera?
hi, yes you can change the gimbal modes even if the phone is off lol. the trigger will still work for sport mode and to flip the phone around, and that's pretty much it
QUICK UPDATES: The manual focus function doesn't work on the Cami App anymore. Not sure if this is what Zhiyun intended or not, but for now, the only way to use it is by using their new app called Stacam, which is a semi-professional app (almost like filmic pro) that will also support most of of the buttons from the gimbal. The app still needs some work in my opinion and some advanced features are behind a payed subscription. I recommend that you give this app a try, If you don't like it you can keep using the Cami app as usual. PLEASE let me know what you think or thought about STACAM. Thank you, and as always, I hope you have an amazing day!
stacam doesn't have object tracking, right?
@@toofy7253 no, it doesn’t have a bunch of features that we do have with Cami App
Your tutorial was great! I tried Stacam, but I was largely off put by the fact that they want me to subscribe for rule of third lines. That's insane pricing to me.
Yeah I hear you, maybe they should rework their membership to include other stuff and not something basic like that
@Blue no they are not

Pan follow might be the the best option, followed by F (follow mode)
Great video Thanks Otto. Just wondering, why is the gimbal arm in front of the smartphone screen? Smooth 4 had it the other way. cheers
I guess it's the design type
Can I still use the stock cam app and still have the camera modes on the gimbal?
yes! gimbal modes are not affected by the app. You can even change the modes with the phone off

hello! you are welcome!
Hye tq for this excellent video. It help me a lot about whether to buy it or not. May I know if Zhiyun has fix the ISO and display button?
hello Nur, I think they are the same, unless you use their other (newer) app called Stacam, which has more features and works with everything on the Smooth 5 but you lose other features like tracking, timelapses, etc
Hello, Could you show to do live strem by using ZHIYUN SMOOTH 5? Thank You
for livestream I suggest to just use the Smooth 5 as a tripod/holder and use your desired app as normal. The only advantage of using this over an actual tripod is if you are moving around, since it will stabilize your movements
@@OttoJulian_ I only know we can go live on youtube by using youtube go live button, is tthere other app could to do so? Thank you
Grazie! Bravo. I’m a processional photographer (no video) and l would like to play with this gimbal and my phone, before buy a DSRL gimbal. Thanks again, great video.
You are welcome!!
Quick question: Can you still switch modes using the mode button while on the iPhone’s native camera? And also, which buttons still function while using the native camera?
hi, yes you can change the gimbal modes even if the phone is off lol. the trigger will still work for sport mode and to flip the phone around, and that's pretty much it
Perfect tutorial! Thank you veryyy much!!!
You're welcome!
Great video but you didn’t show or explain the POV mode? What mode should we be in when shooting a football game?
tilt lock or follow mode.
so much better than reading the instructions :D
that's the idea!!
Best tutorial for the smooth 5 so far!!Does the gimbal work with Snapchat/tiktok??
hello! thanks! yes it does (vertical mode right?)
I am thinking of buying this gimbal. Can you tell me what the benefit is for using the light? Thank you.
the light will be good for vlogging or when you need extra light on low light situations
Thanks, Otto! Amazing video simple, clear and easy to follow. I gave your channel a shout-out on Amazon as well when I Purchased it 💯😎👍
