Just to make it perfectly clear, this works with both Android phones and iPhones! I hope you enjoyed the video, was brilliant fun to make. As a side note.. I apologies for that thing in my hair. Clearly I got a bit excited when unboxing, and put some of the package on my head. Happens to the best of us.
I love that music... Makes me feel so light and drowsy. Your voice is like a pillow, softly drawing me in. And don't even start me with the footage. The dreams of my dreams. The heaven of my paradise. I just love these short films Mumbo. You should *honestly* change that channel name. Very professional.
I cant stop going back to your vlog channel just to rewatch the videos you put up nowadays which are very much more like short films rather than the basic vlogs :) You've got a knack for cinematography!
Mumbo, your vlogs have been absolutely incredible. It really shows through your work how much passion and enjoyment you get out of making these videos. Looking forward to more amazing content!
Hey mumbo. Just as a heads up, "zh" in Chinese is pronounced a bit like the "sh" sound in "leisure". Zhiyun is pronounced kinda like "shuh-yuhn". The "i" then sound a bit like a short "you" sound. I hope you don't mind the correction, but my wife is Chinese.
I love that you upload all of these "vlogs" at a 21:9 aspect ratio. Really adds to the cinematography and is a real treat on an ultra-wide monitor. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for making these videos in the cinema aspect ratio. It makes watching your videos so much better on my ultra wide LG monitor. Thank you Mumbo
I think these high quality unboxings are some of my favorite videos. Thank you for making minecraft videos and still finding the time to make other videos. Very impressive
Mumbo will you make this channel like a proper vlogging channel?like proper vlogs? And AWESOME work the footage and the music just perfect KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!! And can you try some servers like hypixel and play some bedwars or murder mytery?
You should get an iPhone SE it's exactly the same size and design as your iPhone 5s, the only difference is the specs/internals are better. I think it would be the perfect phone for you since you like small phones, please like so mumbo can see this 😁
Love your vid this is the exact setup i was planning to use. I have an old 5s that i don't use anymore and wanted this gimbal for this exact phone. You just earned a sub
I've been vlogging with the Smooth Q for a couple of days now and it's not the easiest to carry around but makes some awesome B-roll even if you don't do ANY post production!
Hi Mumbo how are you today... I just wanted to stop by and say that I am in love with you and your videos I love the concentration and effort you put in them and I'm just chuffed to bits with the footage that you make Mumbo, keep it up man... -FireFox 637
Mumbo, I actually have one of these and I'm glad you love it! I'm going to be using it for my next videos this Summer! I think you should start using the Smooth Q with your Google Pixel 2, and that would be an amazing combo. I currently use an iPhone 6s with 1080p 60hz and it works FANTASTICALLY with my iPhone. Wish you luck!
Wow! Just wow! The shots of the river with the Ruins in the background is just “Wow”. And shot on an iPhone 5S as well. Why don’t you try going to a steam Railway and Recording some steam trains going under bridges or just record them in general! This is an amazing bit of kit and will definitely be on my Christmas Wish list! 10/10, you’ve earned a subscriber and a Like!
Not sure if you will get this message, but just bought this item (in black which you might have preferred) for my daughter to use. She makes TH-cam videos as well (Talk Nerdy With Me Swanson). We seem to be having a problem with the shift lever and I can't find anyone to ask what we might be doing wrong. Does it have anything to do with calibration? Or do you have any other ideas why we can't seem to adjust the focal point? Thanks for any help! BTW, beautiful video that you shot!
Interesting to see the Smooth Q, I just recently got the Smooth C and it seems to work the same as you described the Q. The only "complaint" I have for mine is that the clamp is extremely tight for adding/removing bigger phones (mine is 5.5 in) and i have to take my case off, but that's just a QOL complaint.
I got this yesterday and watched a lot of reviews/samples. Your footage is the best yet. Wow. No matter what I did, my footage was shaky. I'll keep practicing, but I'm using the iPhone 7 Plus. I heard there are issues re. stability.
Hey *Mumbo Vlogs*, I'm looking to purchase a gimbal for my B roll shots. I noticed there are slight micro-tremors in the footage (maybe my eyes are extra sensitive or maybe it's just because the footage is shot in 30fps). You mentioned heavier weighted gimbals etc wouldn't have as many problems but are usually more expensive. Are there any other gimbals you would recommend with a similar price?
mumbo, I'm looking for a gimbal for a Sony a5000 (compact mirror less camera) that's about or under £150, could you recommend anything for me? Thanks and keep up the good work
I have exactly the same phone for just as long, with is very witch makes this review for me extra useful cause I can see how the Zhiyun Smooth Q going to perform with my phone.
Great review! Question.. how do you keep your video smooth on vertical movement? I find every step i take no matter how lightly I step will show minor judder Also did you use exposure / focus lock in any of those videos ?
My only concern with the video is the iPhone's annoying software stabiliser, which when holding the phone in your hand does a great job of keeping the footage nice and smooth, but using it with any sort of mechanical stabiliser, it frequently tries to smooth out the smooth bits, which results in slight blurring for no reason, also, the exposure compensation within the iPhone needs to be turned off (hold focus) if you want to use it for semi pro recording.
The movie "Tangerine" was filmed entirely on an iPhone 5s using the app Filmic Pro. I'm not really into Tangerine's subject matter, but the director's skill as a cameraman is unmatched, especially given the limited budget and equipment he had available. In one scene, there was a two-shot of the main character that looked as if it had been filmed from a dolly or a drone, but it was actually filmed by the director on his iPhone as he rode past her on a bicycle.
Interesting that you have no reservations about using the native camera app, instead of the Zhiyun camera app. Using the Zhiyun app with my Android Pixel does not encounter any problems. But pairing the physical capabilities of the Smooth Q with the highly touted video capabilities along with its familiarity of my Pixel, sees me in most cases going directly to my native camera for video and picture taking. Would like to hear the thoughts of other users, and what they have found in using the native app over the Zhiyun app, or vice versa.
I just bought this and when I got to the point of downloading the ZY Play app from the App Store, it says the app is not compatible with my iPhone 4S. Tried downloading it from the Google Play store and it says it is not compatible with my Alcatel One Touch and Samsung Galaxy Note smart phones.
More like 1975 when you had to charge everything or plug it in because that's when they used gimbals for cameras. And more like 180 CE in China when they were actually invented. I researched that.

If you want an iPhone 5 with a good camera buy the iPhone SE it's the size of an iPhone 5 but records in 4k
HCtube or you could get a Samsung Galaxy S7..

HCtube Who tf is talking about samsung
@ HCtube
sry android isn't a company btw....
S Baird note 7 is not being sold anywere cuz it might burn yr house down,and there aint a 8k camera on a phone......
I love that music... Makes me feel so light and drowsy. Your voice is like a pillow, softly drawing me in. And don't even start me with the footage. The dreams of my dreams. The heaven of my paradise. I just love these short films Mumbo. You should *honestly* change that channel name. Very professional.
No matter what you do or use, any footage from you always ends up looking absolutely perfect. You never disappoint!
I cant stop going back to your vlog channel just to rewatch the videos you put up nowadays which are very much more like short films rather than the basic vlogs :) You've got a knack for cinematography!
This looks so professional! Even with an iphone, you managed to take such a breathtaking video. Thank you so much for the amazing videos, Mumbo!

I've been vlogging with the Smooth Q for a couple of days now and it's not the easiest to carry around but makes some awesome B-roll even if you don't do ANY post production!
Hi Mumbo how are you today...
I just wanted to stop by and say that I am in love with you and your videos I love the concentration and effort you put in them and I'm just chuffed to bits with the footage that you make Mumbo, keep it up man...
-FireFox 637
Wow... The handheld gimbal looks amazing. Undercuts DJI's price be a ton as well.
How do you craft one of these?!
UltraSeb : UltraGraphicGaming he bougth no craft it
UltraSeb : UltraGraphicGaming
You need to place 9 diamond blocks in a crafting table 🤣
Endermanso it's a joke
Mumbo, I actually have one of these and I'm glad you love it! I'm going to be using it for my next videos this Summer!
I think you should start using the Smooth Q with your Google Pixel 2, and that would be an amazing combo. I currently use an iPhone 6s with 1080p 60hz and it works FANTASTICALLY with my iPhone.

great video Mumbo as ALWAYS!!

Mumbo I seeing your footsteps in the shots but still amazing and beautiful movie keep the good job 👍🏼 mate
Here's a challenge,
Make a minecraft vlog while playing hermitcraft (how you do vlogs irl, but in minecraft)
Not sure if you will get this message, but just bought this item (in black which you might have preferred) for my daughter to use. She makes TH-cam videos as well (Talk Nerdy With Me Swanson). We seem to be having a problem with the shift lever and I can't find anyone to ask what we might be doing wrong. Does it have anything to do with calibration? Or do you have any other ideas why we can't seem to adjust the focal point? Thanks for any help! BTW, beautiful video that you shot!
what about osmo mobile or plus, i use the plus, they both come with a case, they are both made of metal and very good at moving and stuff
Love the vlogs especially the one about camera gear
Awesome Video Mumbo, Hope You Do More Of These Documentery Types Of Videos in the Future!!
wow I am lost for words today. Good job buddy!
MUMBO, the place where you shot with the 5s looks amazing!
I'm thinking about getting one for my travels later this year. Is it still your fav light weight mobile gimbal?
Wow I can't stop watching your videos they are so awesome.
Interesting to see the Smooth Q, I just recently got the Smooth C and it seems to work the same as you described the Q. The only "complaint" I have for mine is that the clamp is extremely tight for adding/removing bigger phones (mine is 5.5 in) and i have to take my case off, but that's just a QOL complaint.
XoticVT how much is the smooth c?
Not sure if you mentioned in the video but was that footage shot at Waverley Abbey by any chance?
looks really good and good work mumbo keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I got this yesterday and watched a lot of reviews/samples. Your footage is the best yet. Wow. No matter what I did, my footage was shaky. I'll keep practicing, but I'm using the iPhone 7 Plus. I heard there are issues re. stability.
at 3:39-41 there's a slight wobble in the picture, what did that? a step or the gimbal?
This is masterfully smooth!
are you going to do the golden playbutton unboxing on this or the main channel
Got mine yesterday for $125 price match at Best Buy. Excited.
Beautiful environment, would love to see it with my own eyes someday.
Hey *Mumbo Vlogs*, I'm looking to purchase a gimbal for my B roll shots. I noticed there are slight micro-tremors in the footage (maybe my eyes are extra sensitive or maybe it's just because the footage is shot in 30fps). You mentioned heavier weighted gimbals etc wouldn't have as many problems but are usually more expensive. Are there any other gimbals you would recommend with a similar price?
Mumbo's vlog is getting better to be honest
I love way you to demonstrate product and editing video clip!
Hello Mumbo! I know you probably aren't reading this, but Where is Benji? I miss that cat!
Follow him on Twitter @Benji_TheCat
The place you filmed at looks amazing, where was that?
Hey jumbo! In a hermitcraft Q&A you said you bought a new iPhone 5s because your old one died. That wasnt 4 years ago (:
Just saying (:
Jan Luijk i remember that too
Jan Luijk the phone is 4 years old though. it's like buying a car from 2012 that hasn't ever been driven off Lott. it's new but still old tech
Jan Luijk four year old hardware.
SirThePickle not a good comparison
that footage is the best I've seen I'm my life
I love your vlogs, Oli!
Why did you not include the micro jitters on the video. Was this a gift from Zhiyun?
hi mate.. what kind of app did you use to take those videos? or the iphone videocam itself? advance thanks for the response
Most high quality unboxing video.
Thank you!
Hi, great video! Will my iphone 5 work with a smoorth Q if I add a Moondog Anamorphic lens?
mumbo, I'm looking for a gimbal for a Sony a5000 (compact mirror less camera) that's about or under £150, could you recommend anything for me? Thanks and keep up the good work
Thanks for the review. That gimbal's case looks like a case for a toy guitar. It seems to do a very nice job of stabilization.
Great info and definitely beautiful shot, but WHERE IS THIS PLACE? It’s so gorgeous!
I have exactly the same phone for just as long, with is very witch makes this review for me extra useful cause I can see how the Zhiyun Smooth Q going to perform with my phone.
Great review! Question.. how do you keep your video smooth on vertical movement? I find every step i take no matter how lightly I step will show minor judder
Also did you use exposure / focus lock in any of those videos ?
li21 warp stabilization
Woooooow mahn really nice I mean the cinemetic video which program or filter you doing would appreciate you do a video in that mahn nice
Lol, you should get a rose gold iPhone SE to match your rose gold gimbal.
My only concern with the video is the iPhone's annoying software stabiliser, which when holding the phone in your hand does a great job of keeping the footage nice and smooth, but using it with any sort of mechanical stabiliser, it frequently tries to smooth out the smooth bits, which results in slight blurring for no reason, also, the exposure compensation within the iPhone needs to be turned off (hold focus) if you want to use it for semi pro recording.
Something that is really sad is that you can't get these here in NZ nor ship them here..
+Daniel Kwon might be good to look around, I am sure someone will!
great vlog, keep it up!
what filter you use for this video dud?, and what software you use for editing this video when 5s is playing.
thanks
What was the shimmer in the video at the very end ~ 4:15 . It was cool!!
That would be the micro jitter I was talking about!
Hmm, Interesting! I could see some use for that as a movie effect.
could you tell me about this color grade? I like it very much, is it a lut?
The movie "Tangerine" was filmed entirely on an iPhone 5s using the app Filmic Pro. I'm not really into Tangerine's subject matter, but the director's skill as a cameraman is unmatched, especially given the limited budget and equipment he had available.

What video editor did you use, mate? Thanks!
Hi,
does it still work well if you clip on those camera wide angle len on the Iphone 6plus? thanks!!!
Did you use LUT with the iP5S video? Can you link me to it? Thanks
can you shoot with your phone on vertical position as well?
keep this up and you will be making films soon. you have a great eye for framing!
1:23 you have to make it balanced right?
Interesting that you have no reservations about using the native camera app, instead of the Zhiyun camera app. Using the Zhiyun app with my Android Pixel does not encounter any problems.

in 2019 feb i got one in ebay with shipping just need $120 CAD = $90 US , is good to have it
I just bought this and when I got to the point of downloading the ZY Play app from the App Store, it says the app is not compatible with my iPhone 4S. Tried downloading it from the Google Play store and it says it is not compatible with my Alcatel One Touch and Samsung Galaxy Note smart phones.
2017, where you have to charge things that hold cameras
It's been that way for a long time!
Mumbo Vlogs do an documentary type thing going to the city of culture
Crusio HD - Is the city of culture Slough? :P
More like 1975 when you had to charge everything or plug it in because that's when they used gimbals for cameras. And more like 180 CE in China when they were actually invented. I researched that.
What's the app you use to record on your iphone? Thanks!!!!
does this SMOOTH Q work well with the iphone 6s without anying form of jelloing caused by the image stabilizer on the iphone
Since when do you have your own branded PC from Chillblast?!
mumbo sure doeslove his gimbals
