You are very welcome
Thank you Zdenka! huge amount of information and instruction. i will have to rewatch. terrific! a subscriber.
You are very welcome. I am glad this video helped
Thank you, @ZdenkaDarula - we've been trying to figure out how to get the best out of this gimbal for months now - your tutorial has shown us exactly what we need (e.g. Sport mode) Other tutorials didn't cover this. Incredibly helpful and informative. Ben & Annabelle
I am glad you got your answers… best wishes and enjoy!
You were amazing every thing is a clear ❤❤❤thanks 😊😊😊
You are very welcome
Working with one of these now. I have appreciated your videos :)
Glad you like them!
love this video Amazing
Thank you for your support
Hello great content love it going to have to watch it several times to really get to understand how to use this but thank you so much 😊 .
You are very welcome. Best wishes.
Very good 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for your support
The Set up is just awesome 🥰🥰🥰
Yes it is.., this one is great
@@ZdenkaDarula u can giveaway this to anyone from your subscribers
Perfect!
Thank you for your support
Thank you so much for your help. The manual that comes with it is very confusing. I learned more from this video in 5 minutes than I did from an hour of reading and playing around with it on my own.
You are very welcome. I am glad that you found it helpful
Thanks for the video, Zdenka. May I ask what the advantage is shooting with this gimbal versus just doing it handheld. I think the internal stabilization of the iPhone 14 is already more than enough.
I actually made a video about it: th-cam.com/video/CbGvYG-NKQw/w-d-xo.html
@@ZdenkaDarula Oh sorry thank you!
Hadir siap nyimak tentang gimbal zhiyunnya👍
Thank you
Thanks for your great presentation! I d like to ask something.. how can I save footages straight to sd card using these apps?
The footage will be saved to smartphone not to SD card
This a very complete and useful tutorial. Thanks for sharing. I am new with gimbals and still learning, and have a question if you are so kind to answer, sometimes when operating my smooth5 gymball it does not let me switch among modes. sometimes is on the "L" mode and I try to push the mode button and nothing happens, what do you think is the reason?
This is very very hard to tell I would have to see exactly what is happening with the gimbal
With that setup you can't use a dji mic adapter on ur iPhone right ? Because you don't have space betweeen the iPhone and the gimbal ?
You just moved more to the side… I don’t have the DJI mic but I have different one and I just move it. Again, though, as I don’t have that microphone from DJI I cannot confirm.
Great video. i have one question. Can i take a photo when i am recording in the video mode?
Unfortunately, it’s not possible with any gimbal
Great video explanation!
Does zhiyun Smooth 5 Supports iPhone 14 ProMax?
Yes it does support that phone
great video! do you have to do thru the horizonta/vertical mounting steps each time you go out to film or is it a one time deal?
You will choose only the mount you want to use… I you film in landscape mode and you will film again in landscape with the same set up, then you are good to go… but if you change something like add accessories you have to rebalance it.. basically before you turn it on, make sure it looks balanced
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you! will continue to test and experiment. mind if i ask what microphone setup you use? i have a samsung s22 ultra being used here. thanks!
Thank you for your video tutorial. Can you mount a wireless mic and still balancing it?
You are very welcome.. yes you can mount many things and balance it well
Hi zdenka, i hope you could answer my query. Does zhiyun stability works way better with stacam or does not matter if I use moment pro or black magic. TIA!!!
StaCam has extra options where you can control certain settings directly from a gimbal. For me personally, it doesn’t matter what app I use
Hi, I love your video clips, really easy to follow, I am facing an issue with it, when ever I move the zoom wheel, it jumps when it cross from 1x to up and same when it moves from 4x and up, how can I fix this jump issue, please advise.
Thanks
Unfortunately, that jump is switching lenses. It is the way it is designed and it cannot be really changed.
Hi Zdenka, great video as always, thank you!!! ❤Does Smooth 5S has a bigger phone clamp compare to Smooth 5? I have Smooth5 and my iPhone 13 Max is barely fit in, wondering should I upgrade or not?
It is the same unfortunately… the only upgrade is the light really
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you soooooooo much for your response!!
Hello! When do you attach the magnetic light? I tryed balancing with it on and couldn’t. I have iPhone 8 Plus. Thanks for the answer
You can attach it before or after balancing. Pretty much you can attach it anytime if you use it or not.
Hi Zdenka, I would like to request comparison video of smooth 5s and dji om 6. I'm really want to see your opinion between these two gimbal. Your videos are awesome, Thanks.
Very simply…. DJI is more for social media and Zhiyun is more for filming.., easier to work with
Hi ye. Great tips. I have the 5S and am having massive problems with keeping my phone horizontal. I have the gimbal about a month and everything I do the horizon is crooked by about 2 degrees. Normally this wouldn't matter too much but I'm an architectural photographer and need everything as straight as possible. I returned the first one that I bought and exchanged for a new one is is out by 3 degrees. Doing the calibration in ZY Cami does nothing. Zhiyun suggested running their own Zhiyun Gimbal Tools software but it also doesn't work. Have you any tips? Phone is the iPhone 13 Pro Max and is perfectly balance before Turing on!
I am sorry to hear that. I would say the same thing as they already told you. Unfortunately I am not sure how to solve this
Great content and is very condensed for a beginner. It would be nice to have it broken down into shorter videos at a slower pace. It's just difficult to follow but the information is super valuable.
Noted!
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you. You have one of the best videos and I would rather watch your tutorials. I turned it in on today. The tracking green square worked as usual and then it disappeared. When I press the trigger once, the screen flashes briefly (similar to when a phone takes a photo), and then no green square. I cannot figure out what I did to cause this. Do you have any idea?
If I want to vlog and use the built in light in portrait mode do I place the front facing camera in the same direction as the light?
You would use the magnetic light on top… just turn it towards you
Hi Zdenka. Quick question. Is there any way to use the smooth 5 with the native iPhone camera app? I really like the way cinematic looks. Thanks. Kevin
You can use it with any app you’re just not going to get all the features you would get in ZY Cami. If you film in cinematic mode, you can just use the gimbal as a stabilization. I hope it makes sense.
@@ZdenkaDarula Yes, it makes sense. There is no way to get the cinematic mode in ZY Cami, then, right? And no controls even using native app, not even start and stop video? Thanks so much. Kevin
How to use smooth 5s gimbal for the first time plz help should we use with mobile video camera or with zy cami app please help me from where i should use it gimbal
Yes, open up ZY Cami app to pair the gimbal
hi, i from Brazil, i need help. balanced six steps calibration, positions of gimbal is very dificult. do use calibrations in 6 steps, used software Zhiun gimbal tools
Hello… I am sorry you are having trouble. I unfortunately never did 6 side calibration with any gimbal so I cannot really help. I would highly suggest contacting Zhiyun customer support in your case….
❤
Thank you so much for your support
Can we use gimbal with mobile video camera without using zy cami app and stacam app ? Please help me please
Yes, you can once you first enable it and it in ZY Cami app
Hvala Zdenka, svaka cast pomogla si mi puno. Ja baratam sa kamerama kao Sony, a7 siii i Sony a7riv, ali ovo je zaista cudo tehnike ovi telefoni aple 14 pro max i Samsubg s23. Ja preferiram samsung i imam te telefone od do danas. Jedino sto ne volim kod Iphone je nemaju SMS card. Sve u svemu zaista divan video kao sto si i ti, i jos jednom se zahvaljujem na ovako dobra uradjenom video. BOK!!! David Las Vefas SAD
You are very welcome and thank you very much for sharing. I hear you when it comes to Apple… Samsung is great
I just bought the Smooth 5S and am loving you tutorial(s). I have a small problem which I cannot solve. Following you instructions I am in tracking mode by tapping the back button. But i cannot find a way to deactivate tracking mode. Can you help me please.
It should be the same way when you press quickly the thumb button… I hope that will help. Otherwise enjoy your new gimbal. It’s quite nice and thank you very much for your support.
thanks a lot
You are very welcome
Is the Smooth 5 compatible with the Ultra 23 Samsung Android cell phone? I just bought the Smooth 5.
Yes it is
what application do you use ZY Cam or StaCam in this tutorial thank you.
Both…. First half ZY Cami and StaCam later on. Please check time stamps
Thank you so very much for the time and effort you put into this very informative video. I just bought the smooth 5S so I can use my iPhone 13 Pro Max with ND filter. My older Zyihun 4 wouldn't hold the weight. I subscribed and thanks again for this great info!
You are very welcome and enjoy
Can we use gimbal without zy cami without stacam ? Yes or no please answer me can we use gimbal with mobile camera to record video ?
I already answered your multiple questions below other videos please don’t ask again… yes you can use this gimbal with native camera app. Once you first register it through ZY Cami app.
Is it possible to invert the zoom/focus operation. It seems backwards to me because rotating it away from you it zooms out (wider) rather than in.
Yes, you should be able to do that
@@ZdenkaDarula okay thanks. I'll keep looking in the settings or I'll try and contact their support.
Very nice channel, everything explain clearly with easily understand by anyone. Is there any chance of coming next version of this. Like smooth 6 or similar to this? When new verson come to expected in india? Also what are your suggestion for android user about this gimble. Thankyou very for making this video. 🎉🎉🎉
I don’t know what Zhiyun is planning so I cannot answer that… I don’t think new version will be out anytime soon
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks for answering.
Thank you for this video....Just bought the Smoot 5 and I'm having difficulty knowing when it is fully charged, please can you help
You are very welcome. Once the lights stop flashing and the lights are so lit that means that the gimbal is charged.
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you
Hi Zdenka, i have a 14 Pro max (240g) and want to buy the Moment Case (42g) and Adapter vor 67mm lenses (6g) and a 67mm VND Filter.
Do you think that should work fine ?
Do you think it will work also with the moment anamorphic lens with 67mm VND Filter ? What do you think ? Also want to use only the moment app cause filmic pro is to expensive with the new price model.
Can you say that Zhyyun App works flawless for making some shots with 24/4k 1/48 Shutter ? Must i pay a membership for this easy stuff ?
How much is it ?
Can i use it without an app, like manual ? Thanks & All the Best Walter
I’m going to tell you one thing. Wait three weeks. New gimbal is about to hit the market and I think you should really see this one. I cannot say unfortunately what it is but he will definitely see it.
@@ZdenkaDarula Hi and thanks for the tip. I ordered one but wait now ;-) Let`s hope. A DJI with better mechanical construction type (to make more gymbal moves) that has like 350g workload would be perfect. The mimo app is ok to shoot some shots with all remote options in the mimo app. It´s not ok to pay so much money for stacam app when you want to use a gymbal that you buy from the same company of the app. I think many people buy a DJI for this reason also you can`t make all normal gymbal moves. Have a nice day.... Greetings from Cologne/Germany
I am having trouble deciding. May I know which phone gimbal you would choose if you could only have one? Thank you
The one I would choose, is going to be released in three weeks 😂 literally… come back in three weeks
Can I add a path to my timelapses in the StaCam app ?
Unfortunately, it is not possible
Can you connect the Zhiyun smooth 5s to a regular tripod? if yes then how?
There is a port at the bottom… all gimbals have that
Hi
I am using an s22 ultra.can u do a video on setting it up with this gimbal? Thanx
The settings are exactly same… no difference.., only some features might not be available
@@ZdenkaDarula i tried the zy cam app. But it not recognising the Bluetooth connectivity with my s22 ultra
Hi.. DJ gimbal model 6. Is it better or this gimbal that you have? I bought Smoothie JA model 6, I am not satisfied with it
DJI is more for family stuff….. this is more for advanced filming
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you very much for your answer. How much is this gimbal you have? I am a professional videographer, but now I mostly shoot videos. I have learned a lot from you. I have been following you for three years now.
Need help I'm in a dilemma should I switch from the smooth 5s to the hohem isteady m6 .... I have a s22 ultra and not sure if I should switch going on family vacation and want to best option . I want to use my native camera app what should I do
If you already have smooth 5 it is a good gimbal as well …. If you don’t need tracking keep it
So I should keep even if I can't use my s22 ultra native camera app. What is your favorite one to use between the two ? 5s or M6
Ok I'll keep it
Hello miss. If let say the newly- released phone is still not yet compatible at the moment (maybe zhiyun will solve in future), is it the gimbal can be use without the app?
Yes, the gimbal can absolutely be used without the app, wherever you will need to activate it. You can certainly install the app, activate the gimbal, and then choose other app you will be using.
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you miss 🤩
Your video gives me hope. I know people have liked this product but I was not impressed by my 5S, it will randomly lose horizon or tracking and wander off like an impatient child. I was also not a fan of the app which I had difficulty setting up and eventually gave up on. I compare that with my other recent purchase, the Hohem Go, which was much less expensive, well performing and easy-to-use with no-need for an app. I will say though the magnetic light feature on the 5S is great - so hope that there is an app update, and maybe a firmware update in the future... but if not, it may be just a cool desktop tripod for me.
Thank you for sharing…. My guess is that you have Android phone…. I am glad you found a gimbal which works well for you.. wishing you all the best
Are you still having issue with this gimbal with your android phone? I am waiting for mine to arrive next week.
How i can create my own smart template on zy cami?
That cannot be answered here… they would be another tutorial.. try looking it up if someone else already created one
Hi madam,i am your regular audience,kindly let me whether om 6 will be fully compatible with xiomi 12 pro 5g phone having android 12?if not what will the limitations
Unfortunately, I don’t know these things as I don’t have that phone. It is best to contact their technical support and ask them directly.
@@ZdenkaDarula ok thanks for response
@@binnujoshi Issues with most Android phones whether you buy the Smooth 5, 5S or OSMO6 is that the mfg's are lagging behind in the Android community. Many video resolution modes and frame rates may not be accessible or limited to 30 fps, and even those may not support the UWA or ultra wide angle lens mode used. in other words when you choose say 1080p 60 fps it may not be an option on these apps with your model phone. Even the latest model Samsung, Google, LG, Sony, etc mobile phones that have awesome camera features those will NOT be selectable modes in the Zhiyun or DJI apps because the app makers are lazy. You will be basically forced to shoot with your own camera's native camera app and not be able to use the Android apps for the gimbals regardless of Zhiyun, or DJI apps used. They both are terrible.
In this day and age it is pretty damned lame that users would have to buy an iOS phone to use a sub $200 gimbal... really really lame!! This is ONE MAJOR situation many of these channels and YT content providers do NOT discuss... instead a very generic response like "certain Android devices may find features inoperable" Which doesn't actually tell the user anything else but well... look, if you have an Android device, you will be forced to use your phone's native camera app unless you want to shoot most resolutions at 30 fps......
No, FILMIC Pro does not work well either. Don't waste your money on that
Basically this, if you shoot 30 fps video you will be fine with the Smooth 5, 5S or an OSMO 5 or 6.. If you want WA camera and 60 fps at 1080P or higher... NOT HAPPENING ! Learn to use the gimbal of choice with your camera's Native camera app because these apps for Zhiyun and DJI won't work
Zdenka, I cannot connect my Samsung no 10 to smooth 5s. At first before update the Bluetooth connected, and after update, the connection try always failed. Any advice to fix it?
Hm…. Ok go to their website.. it is a bit complicated but you need to find how to update firmware through computer.. not app. You will need to connect cord to your computer… I’ll address it on Instagram next week.. adding it to the list
@@ZdenkaDarula thankyou Zdenka, i'll try🙏
Hello!! I’m having trouble having my Zhiyun Smooth 5, it only last 5 seconds before it turns itself off without the charger.. I tried balancing it with the phone and the Smooth 5, but it still turns itself off. For it to not turn itself off, is I have to keep the charger in the Smooth 5. Please help!
Please contact Zhiyun directly as it might be faulty product
So, this model is of little use to Android users then???
No, it’s good. You got lots of use as an android user
I recently conducted a live video test on Facebook using my Zhiyun Smooth 5 gimbal. When I use the gimbal, my recordings have a noticeable rumbling noise. However, this sound is absent when I record without the gimbal. Why does this rumbling noise occur when using the gimbal for live videos? Any help would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, I cannot answer for this. I would have to see what the problem is.
Hello
Can you charge your phone?
Yes you can
How can I set storage location with the app? I can't find in setting.
Unfortunately there is not an option to change that
@@ZdenkaDarula Roger that, thank you~
When positioning it seems that the microphone was not free?
Yes, that’s true
How to save the shots video? What is the toggle to press?
Sorry not understanding the question
I mean gimbal is only about shooting or videoing? What if I wanted to save those doing what shall I do to save that picture or video? What is the key to press or toggle to be able to save that things in my cell 📲?
PS. I plan on using the Smooth 5S with Filmic Pro Legacy.
Yes, that is a good combination
How much plic i Need this
The link is below the video in a video description. It will show you pricing in your currency, depending on where you live.
We need new video Zdenka :))
Just been published..
I'm so confused. I've got a 5S and downloaded the app but the manual settings are completely missing. I can't shoot in 60fps, can't adjust exposure, anything.
If you are using Android phone then your phone might have limitations
I’m not sure if my 5s is defective but when I first turn it on and balance the phone after a few seconds, the gimbal gives up. I have to turn it off and turn it back on and redo the balancing, after this it works sometimes but once I put the gimbal on a flat surface (still with the phone attached) it suddenly “gives up” again. Anyone having the same or similar problem?
Yes it might be faulty product. Please contact the seller or Zhiyun
I just can’t calibrate mine.. idk what to do
I’m sorry to hear this. I unfortunately cannot answer if I don’t see what the problem is.
Madam this gimbal & s22 ultra 1 video please Madam,
Sorry I don’t have that phone
@@ZdenkaDarula, ok madam & thank you madam,
Madam , what will the clarity like if record video with this gimball app
Great tutorial :) I got the smooth 5 and I am totally happy with it! 👍🏻 got some videos online that I shot with the smooth 5 as well. If you want to check then out and let me know what you think 😊.
Stay safe!
Thank you for sharing. I am glad you like the gimbal. Enjoy
be mindful and read the compatibillity specs , found out the hard way that the Smooth 5 it is not compatibility listed for Samsung S22 Ultra / and the Smooth 5s it is not compatibility listed for Samsung S23 Ultra
Yes, everybody needs to check the compatibility list
:)
Thank you for your support
Im using ip 14 pro max extra big cant balance mom😢
I am sorry to hear it… you should be able to balance it no problem. I cannot help as I don’t see what you are doing…. Start with one arm at a time, refer to manual
Has anyone tried the gimbal with out Electronic Image Stabilization. Why is it so wobbly?
Its disappointing to buy a $200 Dollar gimbal that cant even stabilize properly.
Its strange no youtuber is mentioning this.
I would have to see what is happening in your smart phone… normally you don’t turn off anything
🙏🏻 🤌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you for your support
Hello Zdenka Darula, I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. how are you? I watch your videos from time to time. I have benefited a lot from your videos, thank you very much for that. I am a vlogger new to TH-cam. I am always with you and hope you will be with me too, thank you.
You are very welcome and thank you very much for saying hello. Many greetings to Bangladesh.
Great video as always.
Given that the StaCam and ZY Cami apps require you to pay for prime membership in order to access all available features, would you recommend just paying for Filmic Pro instead and using it instead?
I figure I'm already paying for Filmic Pro and I'm not sure I want to pay for Prime membership in these apps; my feeling is that if I have already paid $170 for a product, I should not have to pay the maker of that product even more to unlock features on the item I already paid for, but I realize that's an old-fashioned attitude these days. 🤔 Today everything is about subscriptions and microtransactions. 🫤
I feel the same… if you are already using Filmic pro I’d stay with that for sure
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you Zdenka, that's what I figured. I appreciate your reply! 🙂
