Hi Otto.
we missed you last weeks.
as always, nice, deep and helpful video
Thanks for sharing and welcome back
Hello Vincent! yeah I've been kind of busy lately and some video ideas didn't happen due to bad weather!
I really like this gimbal a lot, and I enjoyed both this review and your tutorial. Great job! You really did highlight all the features you spoke about in a clear and illustrative way.
Thank you so much for your feedback!!
Bought one recently. Cool you made the vid. gonna need it I Think
Thanks! There should also be a tutorial on my channel on how to use it
Thanks! I really like the Smooth Q4's fill light, it might make my VLOG look more colorful, especially in low light.
yeah it's really nice!
Thank you for your Well Explained Presentation, hope to do Comparison , soon , between Smooth Q4 & Smooth 5 ( that i owned since several months ) , Regards
Hello Pierre, will see about that. I'm working on this gimbal vs OM5 first
Excellent review, will be waiting for a comparison (if there is one coming) lol
Coming soon!
Nice video!!! Really a good improvement compared with smooth q3. Love the new way to fold,
I can easily fit it in my pocket
yeah! exactly. The Q3 had a weird folding system that I didn't enjoy after a while. This one is just easier and gets the gimbal quite compact
Hi Otto, thanks for such a quick review, I was wondering if the extension rod of smooth q4 is stronger than om 5?
I'm currently testing them indoors, they seem to be quite similar
Hey mr.Otto!!! Love seeing your video again..
Thanks Danemarc! a few weeks and it felt like months away for me! Missed all of you!
@@OttoJulian_ glad your back mr. Otto
Very informative video especially for beginners. Just got the device last week. So far so good and there’s lot to dig on its functionality.
Do you have an idea if we can put ND filters on a smartphone while using this gimbal? Just curious to achieve motion blurr while recording a video on sunny day. Currently using an iPhone 11
yes you can use ND filters as long as they are not too heavy
today i watched more of your videos, first i must say, you doing really great job mate. you have many experience for gimbals for smartphones.. i would like to ask you.. i cant find any video where is any gimbal what good work with my samsung galaxy s22 ultra.. can you recomended me some best gimbal for my phone pls? i will be happy if there will be dolly zoom and vortex mode.. many thanks for your help
Most phones will do vortex mode. My only observation is that the Ultra is a big phone, so this Q4 might be ok but at the bottom it might be too tight. Smooth 5 is a good choice, but it’s bigger, more expensive, etc.
Good one otto ❤️ wanted to know i can charge my iphone 12 with this gimbal ?
this gimbal doesn't charge smartphones, sorry
I've been looking forward to Zhiyun's stabilizer with an extension bar, but I have a doubt whether the video will be unstable after the extension?
I see your point, and yeah at the top it will move a bit more, but it's not going to be super unstable (it's not going to be super stable either unless you have a very steady hand)
@@OttoJulian_ Yeah,it looks like all stabilizers are the same because the center of gravity has changed, thank you anyway!!
Hi Otto, could you please compare zhiyun smooth q4 with dji om5? Which one is better for vlogs?
coming soon! for vlogs both of them are great
Hi Otto, compliments of d seasons. Pls is this gimbal good for Android phones?( samsung S23 ultra)
This gimbal is ok but I would prefer the OM6 or the Hohem iSteady M6.
Hi Otto, SR from India.
Im new to gimbal stuff. Please guide, if I use selfie stick of Q4 then also stabilization, various modes of gimbal works?
hi, yes, everything works the same
Hello sir julian otto 👋 I'm first always. Nice video ❤️
Good morning! Thanks for watching!!
What do you think about its built quality??
Can we easily use I phone 13 pro
build quality is ok, nothing fancy. iPhone Pro is a tight fit but it will do fine. Some cases might not fit with the phone on the gimbal
Nice information
thank you!!
Can we change Zhiyun Smooth 5 on vertical mode with the button ?
not on the Smooth 5, you need to manually adjust it
Thank you
You're welcome!!
Hi I have the same stabilizer but it is failing. I turn on the stabilizer and it only lasts 30 seconds on and then it turns off and the 4 LEDs blink, do you know why that happens?
maybe blocked, or too heavy on one side.
Thank you for this Video, Im one of your Followers, I like how you Explain about this Gimbal. Planning buying this Type of gimbal, Just wanna ask from you if this is worth it to buy for my IPhone 13promax? Please advice. Thanks
A gimbal will always help your smartphone to be more stable. These range of gimbals will be a bit tight for your iPhone depending on what kind of case you have, but other than that they are good if you want/need the different features that a gimbal can give you (besides the extra stabilization)
Thak you Appreciated
Hy
The zoom wheel is working with android in the original app or in the native camera app ?
works when you use the Cami App
@@OttoJulian_ thank you
I can not find the option to change between the different objectives: ultrawide , zoom, tele.
if you use the zoom option, it will change to the ultrawide or zoom lens. I don't think it will use the tele lens though
Will the Q4 fit in the same case made for a Q3?
I think it will fit just fine
I am new here on your channel
but watched all your videos about gimbal
just need one favor I never used a gimbal before .. I can afford any one about price no problem.. but I have no idea which one the best for me as a beginner..
for the moment I have Google pixel 4xl but I am waiting for S23 as well .. please suggest the one which is easy to use and also not too big .. which i can keep in my small bag always .. just suggest me one name please..
if you reply i will be thankful
if you don't want a big size gimbal, I think the OM6 might be a good choice for you. This is the one I'm using the most (depending on the day/activity) and I love the small size and portability
Great 👍
Thank you 👍
Can it shoot low angle video like the Smooth 5?
yeah, underslung mode, but flipping it upside down has to be done like I showed on the video
the Samsung S21+ with spigen case caught my ear .. it wasn't listed as a compatible device on zhiyun list... 👍
sometimes I think they can't test everything
@@OttoJulian_ yes... agree... great job... the other video that went through the functions was informative 👍
is it a problem with the battery? zhiyun 3 sometimes only 30 minutes
did you mean Q3? 30 mins seem like a problem anyway!
what is the best budget jimbal for iphone 13 pro max?
in my opinion, there is no "budget" gimbal for the Pro Max. this one will hold it but you won't be able to use a case and it will be pretty tight on the pan motor
@@OttoJulian_ ok in general what is the best gimbal for 13 pro max
works with stock camera Samsung?
yeah but you won't be able to use features like tracking that they have on their app
Hi, I have a very simple question. How can I turn on the light? I connect it to the magnetic connectors and nothing happens. Help!
Long press the thumb wheel
thanks for the answer
@@UdatsuAdventures thank you!!!
My tracking mode (iPhone) sucks and that’s why I’m here 😅
I see
hello otto,does this work with s23 ultra? regard
yes but with the Android limitations that I mentioned
@@OttoJulian_ thanks for the answer 👍
I just bought this gimbal and realized that the magnetic light is unusable in portrait mode when using the main camera :(
Yeah that’s a design limitation, hopefully they will address it on the next gimbal
I have an S22 Plus. Do you recomend to buy this gimbal? The Phone has a great camara for itself, I don't know if it is worth to buy this, knowing that I can't use 4K in 60 fps
hello Diego, yeah your phone has a great camera, but using a gimbal will help to improve the stabilization. This is a good gimbal, not too expensive, not too complicated to use, or you can also watch my videos on other gimbals like this one.
But which is better, the Smooth 5 or the Smooth Q4?
I'd suggest the Smooth 5 if you have a bigger phone, intend to use any phone with external lenses, or if you need more advanced features.
@@OttoJulian_ Exactly the kind of advice I was looking for. I have a Smooth 4 which has been abused for about 3 years. Time to upgrade.
💐🌹👍🌹💐
Thank you Zuhair
Hi, thanks for the great review. Just a question, do you know whether magnetic lights for other Yizhun gimbals are compatible with Q4?
yes, they have the same connector at the bottom
But I have checked the dimensions of led lights for smooth 5/5s and q4, they are slightly different… I wonder if their bottom magnets are identically positioned?
Yeah but the base is the same
Perfect! Thank you 😊👍
