Zdenka, your reviews are the best to watch on YT. Let others learn from you :-) Practical tips alone. And you took into account Android users - thanks ;-) Have a nice day.
Hi Zdenka, wanted to say that I've watched quite a lot of your videos over the last couple of weeks and this one in particular has pretty much made my mind up on getting the Smooth 5, because you directly address the good news about the Android compatibility with StaCAM and more specifically because I too have S10 Plus which I recently purchased and now know will work with it!!! This has really helped. Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm amazed by your constant professional attitude (often answering the same old questions, lol), and your energy and output producing your videos which must take up a lot of your time, and also in responding to your fairly large fan base! More power to you :o)
Thank you very much for your support and sharing your thoughts. Yes sometimes it gets very repetitive but I have to be here for the people who are shopping for the right products. You are in luck. I am about to create a full tutorial how to use this gimbal with both apps. It should be out in two or three weeks
@@ZdenkaDarula Guess what.... I'm now the proud owner of a Smooth 5, my first gimbal thanks to you, and it's fantastic, although now the learning begins!
Great video. Picked one up and have been using it for a few days. Very confusing apps.. One thing I can’t understand is why in the ‘pro’ app (StaCam) you can’t do tracking?!?! Makes ZERO sense to me. I like the fact they now have a card that comes with a years free of the higher privileges when you buy the gimbal. 👍🏻 Just want tracking with control.. and tracking with Filmic pro would be the holy grail for me… a man can dream.
It seems like the StaCam is the same like filmic pro. If you need tracking with filmic pro this gimbal would do it for you: th-cam.com/video/oRL34iOsK94/w-d-xo.html
I bought DJI OM5 after watching quite a few videos including yours but honestly speaking somehow I just could get used to that gimbal. Incidentally I came across videos about DJI Pocket 2 and instantly liked and purchased it. Now I am an avid pocket 2 user and my OM5 is just sitting somewhere in the house... I am sure many gimbal fans would like this product which you have so eloquently introduced. I am sure the product is as good as you said. Thanks for the video. Cheers!
@@ZdenkaDarula I'm your strict follower. Please also show the external microphone in your next gimbal videos. Do the motors on the gimbal interfere or not, this is really important.
Thank you for this video. I see so many that use Apple phones only. Until I saw your video, I didn't know there were limitations with androids. I have a Samsung Note 20 Ultra. So I was glad to see you using a Samsung phone. I've been trying to decide what gimbal would work best for me. I'm an amateur, so I don't know what they offer.
Great review, thank you Zdenca. You were filming with an anamorphic lens towards the end of the video. Does the StaCam app have a ‘de squeeze’ preview mode like the Filmic Pro app does?
@@ZdenkaDarula Thanks for the reply. I now have the StaCam app, and have also upgraded to the StaCam Prime+ subscription. I tried out my (Sandmarc) Anamorphic lens which works perfectly in Filmic Pro, but in the StaCam app, it just widens the aspect ratio slightly, there's no black bars at top and bottom, a bit like switching to Ultra Wide on my iPhone Pro. I don't see any de-squeeze option, there is an 'Aspect Ratio Frame' setting but those are just guides, they don't affect the output. What do you think?
So glad I saw this video. I ordered the OM5 but ordered This one based on your reviews. Others also not good on the OM5. I have the iPhone 12 Pro but do plan on getting whatever plus size iPhone that will be coming out this year. So I want to future proof my purchase. But…it’s that compact and easier to carry issue on the go. Any suggestions. Ughh
I am choosing between this Smooth 5 and the G6MAX. I just downloaded the zy cam app and noticed many of the features require a subscription that is $30us annually. It kind of negates the $30 price difference and actually could make the GMAX a less expensive option over time. They both are currently discounted on Amazon. Any thought that might help me decide?
How are you finding the size ? It’s similar in size to the moza mini p but what would make you reach for this over the moza mini p? Is it the wheel? The light? The convenience in the app?
Great review Zdenka. I went from DJI to the smooth 5 and I'm very happy with the switch. I'm wondering if its worth picking up the lights and extra lenses. It would be nice to see the differences in your next videos if its worth investing in extra lenses or the Smooth 5 lights.
I have the light and it is nothing special. Yes, it works in a pinch but I would use a better light. As for extra lens I have the moment anamorphic lens and the moment case. When I use the case and lens on my iphone 13 pro max when I balance it I have to slide the phone all the way to the right. I don't think I can put my diffusion or variable nd filter on top of the lens because it would be too much weight to balance. I will try putting a filter on with the lens tomorrow and let you know what I find out. I will say the moment anamorphic lens is awesome. Along with the case and drop in mount it is very easy to put on and take off.
I finally had some time to watch this update, which i had been eagerly anticipating since your initial video on the Smooth 5. Great info. Thank you so much!
Wow I like it!!! What about using it with external lenses? I see that your phone rests on the axis, so you can not move it more to the left? Does it mean you will not be able to balance it with external weight? And you didn't show the joystick:does it move the camera snoothly? Is there a way to choose/change the speed of joystick?
Great review Zdenka ,I have already bought the the Gimbal and the two apps but what I notice is that the StaCam app has delay in video mode.That I mean is if I put my hand in front the lens and pull it away the image of my hand stays there for a while.Something is not right.The Zy cami works fine.Cant wait for Filmic Pro integration.
It is if you have extreme stabilization selection in the settings.. totally normal. The more stabilization you select the more latency will happen. The same in Filmic pro
Ahoj! I was recently inspired to start a TH-cam channel. I am already applying what I have learned from your videos and just ordered the Smooth 5. I can't wait to get it and start making some of those epic gimbal moves!
Great review Zdenka. I did a two weeks research (and guessing I also watched all your gimbal videos) to get an overview for buying my first gimbal - and fianlly, I ordered ZHIYUN SMOOTH 5 just now😀. Btw, you have a great channel here with a lot of very useful information for things I am interested. Thanks very mich for all the time and efforts you spend. Very appreciated👍! Greetings from Germany.
Nice detailed video, thanks. I have a couple of questions. 1. Im looking for a gimbal that will hold the iPhone 13 pro Max, be able to fit the lightening cable to connect my Rode Wireless transmitter. 2. the gimbal must have some type of active track for filming walk by shots when im hiking. Can you recommend/point me in the right direction, ive waatched so many videos my head hurts. best wishes Darren
Which gimbal would you recommend for a Samsung S22 Ultra? Keeping in mind the phone's weight and Android 12. I've looked at DJI OM 5, but I'm uncertain.
To be very honest this is very difficult to answer. Every single android will have different compatibility. I never had this phone and I never was able to test it with any of the gimbals so I cannot tell you which gimbal is compatible. As far as weight goes, you should be fine with most of them. I would strongly suggest looking up on TH-cam someone who is reviewing gimbals with the type of phone you have.
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you for a quick response. :) Unfortunately, the mobile is too new for tests yet. If I may ask - if you had no criteria, which gimbal would be your favorite for phones in general? :)
Hi Zdenka, is this gimbal bigger n heavier to carry around ? I like the OM5 portability also like this gimbal of what it can do. Its hard to gauge the size on video and photo. I have seen and played with the smooth 4 and it was big if this is half the size of the 4 i will buy it. Can you pls kindly let me know. Thank you
Would really be interested to learn your workflow in transferring shot videos from the StaCam app over to your computer. Within the app the only choices I see are marking as favourite, deleting or sending the video(s) over to the iPhone Photos album. This in all probability results in everything being uploaded to the cloud if sufficient capacity allows and then the process of of getting the videos from the Photos album over to the computer. This is all rather messy and is there no direct access to the StaCam apps video file for a direct transfer to the computer?
Hm…. I’ve got this request before. Unfortunately I think I am on the same boat… big mass, I transfer files via wire transfer. I don’t like that file names are not in order but all over the place….
Thank you for the detailed review, especially on the Android side. I have the Osmo and am looking to upgrade. Any news yet on the Zhiyun mobile film challenge?
Thanks for the review Zdenka, very sad that not all the features are available for android in the case of the first app, and I have a Samsumg Galaxy S10+ as well. I have a question, can I still using the gimbal without the apps?, can I use it with the native camera app from the phone?, and the would the wheel still controlling zoom and focus? Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use it with the native camera app but you are not going to be able to use zoom wheel or focus wheel. There is a dedicated app called StaCam, which will get you all those controls.
Thanks for the great videos, I watch them so often even my wife recognizes you by first name haha! A question if you don’t mind; I have a iPhone 13 pro max and will use a Moment lens and VND filter at times, so I’m worried this payload is too light. Would you recommend the Moza Mini-P 3 instead for this setup? Both are the same price right now. Thank you!
Is there such a thing as a gimbal than can be used for both a Samsung Galaxy S20 AND a Canon M50? Is it it better to used a gimbal that is specifically designed for a phone, or camera? Thanks.
Sounds good, if I hadn't already bought 2 gimbals to work with my Android phone. DJI Osmo Mobile 3 only gives me 30fps when using DJI Mimo app. Otherwise I'm stuck in follow mode. My Moza Mini-P comes with a phone adapter, but is a really heavy gimbal and I need to get my strength up after a debilitating hospital stay (and lack of exercise during lockdown). I have found that, with Filmic Pro, reducing the speed to 80% gives 24fps and keeps the audio at the right pitch! So reasonably happpy with that. I may end up buying a cheap iPhone just to use on the DJI Osmo Mobile 3! Doesn't need a SIM, its just for a camera.
Hello. why i think the video is more clear and brighter colour in stacam from zy cami? Is it correct? And second i want to livestream. Do you have some advise? i think only zy cami do it
Zdenka, I love your review, and I have finally ordered the smooth5 combo version. However, after installed and registered with the prime redemption card, my zy cami still do not have the Auto/Manual mode. Any idea you may have? Thanks.
Have a outer box on my iPhone. And it handles it well. ,,, it’s right on the edge of being to much for the clamp,, because the glue is coming undone. ,, recommend small case or no case.
I ran into your video by accident…. I’m in the market to buy one .. after this video I’m definitely getting ☝️ one thank you my amiga for this great video !!!!! Be blessed
Hello zdenka, i just bought the zhiyun smooth 5 last week. It is myy first time to own a gimbal. Can you teach me how to shoot the dolly zoom step by step? Thanks. Love watching your channel. More power!
Hey Zdenka! How would you say this video performs filming vertical videos on phones? I create vertical content for social media and haven't been finding many people talking about the vertical capabilities!
I think this one performs well in vertical mode. Truthfully, I don’t shoot in vertical mode much as I shoot everything in horizontal so I can use it on all kinds of platforms.
@@ZdenkaDarula tes, I can't wait for it to arrive this week. It will help making short videos combining race drones, camera drones and using smart phone for ground shots. I'll be following your channel with interest
A Well Explained Tutorial , As Usual , Thank you Zdenka . Question : Any idea when Filmic Pro App will be available for Smooth 5 , ( i use Note 9 Androide Mobile ) / Regards .
Hi,will this gimbal works well with Sony Xperia Pro-i ? I prefer to use native control direct from my handphone rather then thier 3rd party app. Will this gimbal able to control my handphone natively via bluetooth?
Thank you for your question. I unfortunately don’t have that form so I won’t know the answer. It is best to visit their website and check compatibility list
Great video! :D I have been looking for a gimbal with the 360 degrees vortex function, ever since I found out it was a thing! Is the Smooth 5 the best choice or is there any others with that function in which you can recommend? I'm using samsung galaxy a71. :)
Thank you so much for making this useful and informative video. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to connect my Smooth 5 to the YZ app that I use for my Crane 3 Lab. 😄
Hello Zdenka, I am experiencing some issues and I hope you can help me. I am using Smooth 5 with my Xiaomi phone. However, when I use the Cami and Stacam apps, my recorded videos are shaky and not stabilized. On the other hand, when I use the native camera app of the phone, the video is stabilized. But, there is a problem with the native camera app as some of the gimbal buttons do not work. Do you have any recommendations on how I can fix this issue?
When it comes to buttons, it is common that they are not working with native camera app. It is like that but all gimbals. When it comes to stabilization, check settings in Zhiyun app if you don’t have that off
Thanks for your review. I recently purchased the Smooth 5 when Amazon had a flash sale for $140 usd. When using the StaCam app wheel with my Samsung S20, I get a noise that sounds like a Geiger counter when zooming and focusing. I must mute the volume if preforming either of those functions. The ZY Cami app doesn't make the noise but will only zoom and doesn't work for manually adjusting focus. I'm curious if others have experience similar. The s20 is not listed as supported but works fine except for that weird annoying issue.
I believe using the wheel for Focus is only possible in StaCam (not in CAMI). Zoom can be done in both CAMI and StaCam. This is explained in the User Guide. I have no idea about geiger counter sounds! Is the gimbal updated to the latest Firmware, and your phone has latest app versions?
@@jimprior180762 yes all updated. Zhiyun had me send videos. One showing the static that occurs with StaCam and another showing no static with ZYCami. They also needed all info firmware etc on phone and gimbal. Perhaps they will eventually provide an update or maybe not. The static does not occur on my Apple SE though.
Do you have haptic feedback turned on in your s20 settings, I wonder if the phone is buzzing or clicking in response to the graduation of the zoom/focus wheel? It could be something like that if you say it stops when you turn your phones volume down.
@@jimprior180762 Yippie! I turned off all of the haptic settings and no static! I went back and switched all but "touch interaction" back on and static stayed off! Thank you for the suggestion! Funny how the problem was only with the StaCam and did not manifest in ZYCami.
Great review Zdenka. Really enjoying using my Smooth 5. Any day now my new PolarPro Litechaser filters arrive and I can put the payload to the test. Thanks again for guidance.
Looks like it's a great gimbal and the integrated light is brilliant. But (@15:48) seeing how the cable of the adapter is bent to plug in an external microphone, and how the phone then sits in the gimbal... at least from the picture, this looks like a no-go.
Thanks a lot! I have a S10+ and the ZYCami wasn't working fine. StaCam is much better! But i can't switch to the telephoto lens and i noticed that in yours doesn't apears that option too. Why is that? And i can't choose 60 fps in any resolution. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for all your vídeos.
I’m sorry that you’re having those issues. Unfortunately android phones always have limitations because android makers don’t give access to cameras to these companies
Hi Zdenka! I've been watching so many of your videos, subscribed, and finally bought the Smooth 5 to use with my current iPhone XR (to learn it before I upgrade to iPhone 13). I am not too bad with tech stuff, but I cannot seem to get the Smooth 5 to charge. I have tried the supplied cord in the charger I use daily for my iPhone and iPad, and I have also tried plugging the Smooth 5 USB into my computer. When I press the power button, I see a blinking red PF light, but otherwise I see all 5 white lights lit at once for a couple seconds, alternating with the white PF flashing briefly, then PF blinks red and the line goes dark. My first clue was that it wouldn't do the firmware update through the app when connected with the phone because it said "less than 50% charged". Also the bluetooth won't hold the connection between the phone and the Smooth 5 .. "device disconnected" and the bluetooth icon appears on the phone screen. Can someone please tell me what I am missing here, because I am stuck even before step one ... please help! Thanks so much!!
Thank you very much for your comment. This seems to me like this could be actually a faulty product. These things you should certainly discuss with their technical support. I would contact them right away from the app or from their website
Is there any gimbal you would recommend for the iPhone 13 Pro that has object tracking (follow me) and can handle lenses? Also, it could maybe hold a ZV-1
Great review as always. One thing about the StaCam it does not have a option to control Audio, so you need to hope that Auto is not cranking the Audio to high up. Just curious why they did not give the ZY Cami App those Pro features or use the ZY Play for all Gimblas. 🤷♂️
Hi I’m having trouble connecting my external microphone (rode wireless go ii) to the ZY CAMi app. It won’t let me click on “external” (mic source) even tho the option is there. I’m connecting the rode wireless go receiver to my iPhone via usb-c to lighting connection. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Do you know if the rode wireless go ii is compatible with the zy cami app?
Zdenka, thank you for this subject, Zhiyun smooth 5 looks very promising if we download these two apps. Having said that, I read a lot of privacy concerns about using this apps--personal info, access to all photos, and location for instance. I'm interested with your opinion. And I also heard that gimbals are no longer dealing with androids. Is that right?
Gimbals are dealing with androids but there are always limitations…. Unfortunately the Gimbal makers don’t get access to cameras hardware from many Android makers
@@ZdenkaDarula Based on what you just wrote I'll be selling my DJI OM4se, still sealed unopened. I have an android phone and many other reviewers said the same as you and Apple is just too dominant in this market. I'm really annoyed.
@@benou459 the problem is that Android phone makers don’t allow access to cameras so those gimbal makers cannot program it all… apple is only one system which gives access…, I hope this makes sense… it is not the fault of gimbal companies
Ahoi ... Zdenka I'm interested in whether you know the gimbal iSteadi Multi from the manufacturer Hohem. All-In-One. And have you used it before ... Your experience would come in handy. Thanks ... 😁😁😇
Hi Zdenka, I have a Smooth 5 (and Smooth Q4, but that more a toy). Is there a way to have AE/AF lock working in ZY Camy on Android? I get the AE lock window but it fades after a few seconds. Even if I keep pressing it, or double press it, or press, release and the press again. In the few seconds I can adjust the exposure just fine, but when the yellow window fades my exposure is back to auto. In StaCam AE/AF lock works for both focus and exposure. Kind regards.
The membership for your comment about is that not with the gold card you get with the premium package. I bought it a few months back and I thought my back would be a lot better by now but it’s not so I haven’t activated the membership yet or that gold card is this the membership you were talking about?
At around 12:00 you mention a link where you can find out if your Android phone is compatible with the Smooth 5. I can't seem to find that link. Could you please post it? And always enjoy your videos. Always interesting and informative.
Well, I got the Smooth 5 and registered. They had a rather large update to the software that I downloaded. I have an Android Moto G stylus 2021. Once I downloaded the update, just about everything, I can use on the Smooth 5. I checked the zoom wheel and it works great. I have not gone through all the possible features yet but the ones I want work!!! So, good news here. Now if I can somehow connect my phone to the power...my connect port is against the gimbal? And connect my Rode wireless mike???
Hello. I am finding that the zoom control does not work when live streaming with RTMP (through TH-cam) using the YZ Cami app and that the StaCam app does not have a live streaming capability. Was hoping to use the Smooth 5 gimbal to help support live streaming sporting events. Am I missing something? Thank you for all your assistance.
Can any confirm for me if this gimbal is compatible with my Pixel 6 Pro? I can't find a compatibility list on the website and but I downloaded StaCam 👍🏽 Recently bought a whole OM5 set before doing research 😓 wish I would have found this channel earlier
Wonder if the smooth 5 Bluetooth connection is better than the smooth Q3 with Android. I had to give up,using the q3 after a few weeks . Bluetooth never stayed connected on 4 different androids. I did whatapp Customer service , to ask this question. No reply .
@@ZdenkaDarula I know that, but I want to inquire who is the best in terms of tracking and additions and is compatible with most phones and the lack of problems in operation
Olá! Parabéns por este seu vídeo. Adquiri este gimbal e confesso que fiquei completamente doido ao verificar que com o zy cami a roda de foco não funcionava, embora todos TH-camrs que fiz a pergunta dissessem que sim nunca referindo o app StaCam. Depois de ver este seu vídeo foi um alívio, por isso a congratulo pela honestidade e forma como abordou todos os comandos do smooth 5. É um ótimo gimbal e estou muito feliz com ele. Parabéns novamente e desejos de continuação de tão bons vídeos como este. Cumprimentos 👍
Seems like anti-shake function in StaCam is better than the one in ZYCami when shooting. Most of the features in StaCam need monthly subscription to be activated.. Why they dont offer one-off price.. TT
Hi Zdenka,my name is Josip. I hava a big problem how to buy subscription for ZHIYUM PRIME +.It is asking to write my password, but whatever I time it is always wrong.Please advise me what to do.Thanks in advence.P.S.Your tutorial video is very good.Josio
Yes, you absolutely can. You will be tapping on the screen as he would normally if you didn’t have a gimbal, and the gimbal will just help you to stabilize the footage
When I use the zy cami, the video is shaky, and when I use the native app on the phone, I get a better quality footage, it could be my phone (Xiaomi 9T) or you think it's the app that is free. Thanks.

Ahoj! I was recently inspired to start a TH-cam channel. I am already applying what I have learned from your videos and just ordered the Smooth 5. I can't wait to get it and start making some of those epic gimbal moves!
Thank you very much for sharing. Wishing you all the best with your channel.
Great review Zdenka. I did a two weeks research (and guessing I also watched all your gimbal videos) to get an overview for buying my first gimbal - and fianlly, I ordered ZHIYUN SMOOTH 5 just now😀.
Btw, you have a great channel here with a lot of very useful information for things I am interested.
Thanks very mich for all the time and efforts you spend. Very appreciated👍! Greetings from Germany.
You are very welcome and many greetings to Germany
Nice detailed video, thanks.
I have a couple of questions.
1. Im looking for a gimbal that will hold the iPhone 13 pro Max, be able to fit the lightening cable to connect my Rode Wireless transmitter.
2. the gimbal must have some type of active track for filming walk by shots when im hiking.
Can you recommend/point me in the right direction, ive waatched so many videos my head hurts.
best wishes
Darren
This is the gimbal
@@ZdenkaDarula
Does the tracking work well ? I can’t seem to find any videos demonstrating the feature
Just bought this gimbal and look forward to most of the information about it and how we can work with it, thank you!
You are very welcome…. Enjoy
I have an iPhone 12, so should I buy the OM5 or Smooth 5?
It depends on what features you are looking for.. something I cannot answer for you sorry
Which gimbal would you recommend for a Samsung S22 Ultra? Keeping in mind the phone's weight and Android 12. I've looked at DJI OM 5, but I'm uncertain.
To be very honest this is very difficult to answer. Every single android will have different compatibility. I never had this phone and I never was able to test it with any of the gimbals so I cannot tell you which gimbal is compatible. As far as weight goes, you should be fine with most of them. I would strongly suggest looking up on TH-cam someone who is reviewing gimbals with the type of phone you have.
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you for a quick response. :) Unfortunately, the mobile is too new for tests yet. If I may ask - if you had no criteria, which gimbal would be your favorite for phones in general? :)
Hi Zdenka, is this gimbal bigger n heavier to carry around ? I like the OM5 portability also like this gimbal of what it can do. Its hard to gauge the size on video and photo. I have seen and played with the smooth 4 and it was big if this is half the size of the 4 i will buy it. Can you pls kindly let me know. Thank you
Yes this is way smaller than the smooth 4. This one is definitely smaller
Your explaination has always been very clear, step by step from start to the end, it is a great help for me. thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome
Can you please tell me about charging smooth 5?
Chargers two hours and you will get 25 hours
Would really be interested to learn your workflow in transferring shot videos from the StaCam app over to your computer. Within the app the only choices I see are marking as favourite, deleting or sending the video(s) over to the iPhone Photos album. This in all probability results in everything being uploaded to the cloud if sufficient capacity allows and then the process of of getting the videos from the Photos album over to the computer. This is all rather messy and is there no direct access to the StaCam apps video file for a direct transfer to the computer?
Hm…. I’ve got this request before. Unfortunately I think I am on the same boat… big mass, I transfer files via wire transfer. I don’t like that file names are not in order but all over the place….
Will this work with Comica d2 pro? Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆
Mine work no problem
Thank you for the detailed review, especially on the Android side. I have the Osmo and am looking to upgrade.
Any news yet on the Zhiyun mobile film challenge?
You are very welcome. No Zhiyun didn’t contact me yet so I have no idea where it stands
Thanks for the review Zdenka, very sad that not all the features are available for android in the case of the first app, and I have a Samsumg Galaxy S10+ as well.
I have a question, can I still using the gimbal without the apps?, can I use it with the native camera app from the phone?, and the would the wheel still controlling zoom and focus?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, you can use it with the native camera app but you are not going to be able to use zoom wheel or focus wheel. There is a dedicated app called StaCam, which will get you all those controls.
Is the light useful or skip?
It can help to someone who films at night lots
Hi Zdenka, I have the iPhone pro max and love cinematic mode but can't access it with both ZY cami & StaCAm? any advice or solution? Thank you
Cinematic mode is only available in your native camera app on iPhone. You are not going to get that in other app
Thanks for the great videos, I watch them so often even my wife recognizes you by first name haha!
A question if you don’t mind; I have a iPhone 13 pro max and will use a Moment lens and VND filter at times, so I’m worried this payload is too light. Would you recommend the Moza Mini-P 3 instead for this setup? Both are the same price right now. Thank you!
Moza mini p would handle it…. Just a bit difficult to balance all the time
Is there such a thing as a gimbal than can be used for both a Samsung Galaxy S20 AND a Canon M50? Is it it better to used a gimbal that is specifically designed for a phone, or camera? Thanks.
Yes there are few…. Zhiyun crane M3 or Moza mini P
Sounds good, if I hadn't already bought 2 gimbals to work with my Android phone. DJI Osmo Mobile 3 only gives me 30fps when using DJI Mimo app. Otherwise I'm stuck in follow mode. My Moza Mini-P comes with a phone adapter, but is a really heavy gimbal and I need to get my strength up after a debilitating hospital stay (and lack of exercise during lockdown). I have found that, with Filmic Pro, reducing the speed to 80% gives 24fps and keeps the audio at the right pitch! So reasonably happpy with that. I may end up buying a cheap iPhone just to use on the DJI Osmo Mobile 3! Doesn't need a SIM, its just for a camera.
Hello. why i think the video is more clear and brighter colour in stacam from zy cami? Is it correct? And second i want to livestream. Do you have some advise? i think only zy cami do it
I am not noticing a difference in color . Yes livestreams are only available in the app
Zdenka, I love your review, and I have finally ordered the smooth5 combo version. However, after installed and registered with the prime redemption card, my zy cami still do not have the Auto/Manual mode. Any idea you may have? Thanks.
If you have Android there might be limitations with certain phones. It is best to contact their customer support for any help.
Nicely done gimbal review. I'm currently considering getting a gimbal, and this Zhiyun Smooth 5 seems like a great pick.
Have a outer box on my iPhone. And it handles it well. ,,, it’s right on the edge of being to much for the clamp,, because the glue is coming undone. ,, recommend small case or no case.
Thank you very much… yes this is for sure one of the better gimbals made in 2021
I ran into your video by accident…. I’m in the market to buy one .. after this video I’m definitely getting ☝️ one thank you my amiga for this great video !!!!! Be blessed
You are very welcome
Hello zdenka, i just bought the zhiyun smooth 5 last week. It is myy first time to own a gimbal. Can you teach me how to shoot the dolly zoom step by step? Thanks. Love watching your channel. More power!
Dolly zoom tutorials will be coming up in the future. Enjoy your new gimbal
Thank you zdenka.
Hey Zdenka! How would you say this video performs filming vertical videos on phones? I create vertical content for social media and haven't been finding many people talking about the vertical capabilities!
I think this one performs well in vertical mode. Truthfully, I don’t shoot in vertical mode much as I shoot everything in horizontal so I can use it on all kinds of platforms.
Fantastic review. Well done. I've just ordered one of these for my Note 10 plus
Thank you very much. Enjoy your new gimbal
@@ZdenkaDarula tes, I can't wait for it to arrive this week. It will help making short videos combining race drones, camera drones and using smart phone for ground shots. I'll be following your channel with interest
A Well Explained Tutorial , As Usual , Thank you Zdenka . Question : Any idea when Filmic Pro App will be available for Smooth 5 , ( i use Note 9 Androide Mobile ) / Regards .
I read on fb that it is not so close. filmic pro needs zhiyun to release an SDK in order to work on compatibility
@@zimx_ Hope Zhiyun releases it soon .
Yes it is correct. They have to communicate back and forth and rewrite each button. This might take few months as I was told
Hi,will this gimbal works well with Sony Xperia Pro-i ? I prefer to use native control direct from my handphone rather then thier 3rd party app. Will this gimbal able to control my handphone natively via bluetooth?
Thank you for your question. I unfortunately don’t have that form so I won’t know the answer. It is best to visit their website and check compatibility list
Is there any chance you'll be doing a comparison review for the updated Gimbals OM5, Smooth 5, etc?
I am sorry I am bop planning on doing it this time
Great video! :D I have been looking for a gimbal with the 360 degrees vortex function, ever since I found out it was a thing! Is the Smooth 5 the best choice or is there any others with that function in which you can recommend? I'm using samsung galaxy a71. :)
I’d say right now it would be
@@ZdenkaDarula Okay thank you!
Thank you so much for making this useful and informative video. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to connect my Smooth 5 to the YZ app that I use for my Crane 3 Lab. 😄
You are very welcome
Happy New Year to you Zdenka
Happy new year to you as well
Hello Zdenka,
I am experiencing some issues and I hope you can help me. I am using Smooth 5 with my Xiaomi phone. However, when I use the Cami and Stacam apps, my recorded videos are shaky and not stabilized. On the other hand, when I use the native camera app of the phone, the video is stabilized. But, there is a problem with the native camera app as some of the gimbal buttons do not work.
Do you have any recommendations on how I can fix this issue?
When it comes to buttons, it is common that they are not working with native camera app. It is like that but all gimbals. When it comes to stabilization, check settings in Zhiyun app if you don’t have that off
Thanks for your review. I recently purchased the Smooth 5 when Amazon had a flash sale for $140 usd. When using the StaCam app wheel with my Samsung S20, I get a noise that sounds like a Geiger counter when zooming and focusing. I must mute the volume if preforming either of those functions. The ZY Cami app doesn't make the noise but will only zoom and doesn't work for manually adjusting focus. I'm curious if others have experience similar. The s20 is not listed as supported but works fine except for that weird annoying issue.
I think you should check with them if you don’t have a faulty product. That shouldn’t happen
I believe using the wheel for Focus is only possible in StaCam (not in CAMI). Zoom can be done in both CAMI and StaCam. This is explained in the User Guide. I have no idea about geiger counter sounds! Is the gimbal updated to the latest Firmware, and your phone has latest app versions?
@@jimprior180762 yes all updated. Zhiyun had me send videos. One showing the static that occurs with StaCam and another showing no static with ZYCami. They also needed all info firmware etc on phone and gimbal. Perhaps they will eventually provide an update or maybe not. The static does not occur on my Apple SE though.
Do you have haptic feedback turned on in your s20 settings, I wonder if the phone is buzzing or clicking in response to the graduation of the zoom/focus wheel? It could be something like that if you say it stops when you turn your phones volume down.
@@jimprior180762 Yippie! I turned off all of the haptic settings and no static! I went back and switched all but "touch interaction" back on and static stayed off! Thank you for the suggestion! Funny how the problem was only with the StaCam and did not manifest in ZYCami.
Can I use gimbal with Apple Camera app? I don't trust those Chinese back door apps, but gimbals look nice.
Yes, you can use it but you will not get many options there only the shutter will work
Thank you very much for your videos they really helped a lot..keep at it
You are very welcome
Great review Zdenka. Really enjoying using my Smooth 5. Any day now my new PolarPro Litechaser filters arrive and I can put the payload to the test. Thanks again for guidance.
You are very welcome
Looks like it's a great gimbal and the integrated light is brilliant. But (@15:48) seeing how the cable of the adapter is bent to plug in an external microphone, and how the phone then sits in the gimbal... at least from the picture, this looks like a no-go.
You can get right angle adapter… I have it now…
Thanks a lot! I have a S10+ and the ZYCami wasn't working fine. StaCam is much better! But i can't switch to the telephoto lens and i noticed that in yours doesn't apears that option too. Why is that?
And i can't choose 60 fps in any resolution. Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you for all your vídeos.
I’m sorry that you’re having those issues. Unfortunately android phones always have limitations because android makers don’t give access to cameras to these companies
@@ZdenkaDarula thank you. Next time I'll buy an iphone 😅.
@@ZdenkaDarula On S21 ultra I can't select 60fps either, in both apps. But the app supports 120 and 240fps, for example
is it best option for iphone 13 pro max with some extra lens ? and for vertical shot instagram about 90% of the time
You have to make sure you don’t go over maximum payload
I love your video. I learn from you from day to day . thank so much .
You are very welcome
Do these limitations for the Android phones apply to Google Pixel Pro phones, which should be the "premium" Android experience?
I wish I could answer this but I don’t have the phone so I don’t know
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks anyway
Great review. As all apps have limitations with Android how can I get the best out of my smartphone? I dont want to buy an Iphone I like my Samsung.
Well that is something you have to take in consideration that you always encounter some issues
@@ZdenkaDarula Right
Hi Zdenka! I've been watching so many of your videos, subscribed, and finally bought the Smooth 5 to use with my current iPhone XR (to learn it before I upgrade to iPhone 13). I am not too bad with tech stuff, but I cannot seem to get the Smooth 5 to charge. I have tried the supplied cord in the charger I use daily for my iPhone and iPad, and I have also tried plugging the Smooth 5 USB into my computer. When I press the power button, I see a blinking red PF light, but otherwise I see all 5 white lights lit at once for a couple seconds, alternating with the white PF flashing briefly, then PF blinks red and the line goes dark. My first clue was that it wouldn't do the firmware update through the app when connected with the phone because it said "less than 50% charged". Also the bluetooth won't hold the connection between the phone and the Smooth 5 .. "device disconnected" and the bluetooth icon appears on the phone screen.
Can someone please tell me what I am missing here, because I am stuck even before step one ... please help! Thanks so much!!
Thank you very much for your comment. This seems to me like this could be actually a faulty product. These things you should certainly discuss with their technical support. I would contact them right away from the app or from their website
@@ZdenkaDarula I appreciate your speedy reply! I might return it and order another so that I don't get into a "repair" situation.
Been waiting for this!
Hi Dzenka. Can u suggest me best gimbal for iPhone 13 pro max with case on. I have iPhone with case which weighs 284 grams.
This one would work…. Or Moza mini p
@@ZdenkaDarula . Thank u so much
Ahoj. Do you remember how to switch back to autofocus from manual? Iphone. Thanks.
All you have to do is just tap on the screen
Parádní videa s množstvím skvělých informací 👍Díky ;-)
Také děkuji a mockrát zdravím do České republiky
@@ZdenkaDarula 👍🍻🙂
Great review as usual, I have a Smooth 4, would be useful to have a comparison, features, functions and performance.
Thank you very much for sharing
Can you do a comparison video vs DJI 5 ? Android and Apple!
You cannot really compare those 2. Om5 is more for social media… this is really for filming… whole another level
@@ZdenkaDarula well that's enough of a comparison right there 🤣 👍🏽 thanks I will definitely look into Zhiyun
Is there any gimbal you would recommend for the iPhone 13 Pro that has object tracking (follow me) and can handle lenses? Also, it could maybe hold a ZV-1
This one…, or Moza mini p if you also need it for mirrorless camera
Great review as always. One thing about the StaCam it does not have a option to control Audio, so you need to hope that Auto is not cranking the Audio to high up.
Just curious why they did not give the ZY Cami App those Pro features or use the ZY Play for all Gimblas. 🤷♂️
It was most likely very difficult to create… that is the only answer I have. They told me that it is super difficult mainly with Android….
@@ZdenkaDarula makes sense
Hi I’m having trouble connecting my external microphone (rode wireless go ii) to the ZY CAMi app. It won’t let me click on “external” (mic source) even tho the option is there. I’m connecting the rode wireless go receiver to my iPhone via usb-c to lighting connection. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Do you know if the rode wireless go ii is compatible with the zy cami app?
I am very sorry I don’t have that mic so I don’t know
Zdenka, thank you for this subject, Zhiyun smooth 5 looks very promising if we download these two apps. Having said that, I read a lot of privacy concerns about using this apps--personal info, access to all photos, and location for instance. I'm interested with your opinion. And I also heard that gimbals are no longer dealing with androids. Is that right?
Gimbals are dealing with androids but there are always limitations…. Unfortunately the Gimbal makers don’t get access to cameras hardware from many Android makers
@@ZdenkaDarula Based on what you just wrote I'll be selling my DJI OM4se, still sealed unopened. I have an android phone and many other reviewers said the same as you and Apple is just too dominant in this market. I'm really annoyed.
@@benou459 the problem is that Android phone makers don’t allow access to cameras so those gimbal makers cannot program it all… apple is only one system which gives access…, I hope this makes sense… it is not the fault of gimbal companies
Ahoi ... Zdenka I'm interested in whether you know the gimbal iSteadi Multi from the manufacturer Hohem. All-In-One. And have you used it before ... Your experience would come in handy. Thanks ... 😁😁😇
I only know the name sorry …. I don’t know much about it
Can you shoot 709 and have auto face tracking with gimbal? Thanks!
I don’t think it’s possible sorry
Hi Zdenka, I have a Smooth 5 (and Smooth Q4, but that more a toy). Is there a way to have AE/AF lock working in ZY Camy on Android? I get the AE lock window but it fades after a few seconds. Even if I keep pressing it, or double press it, or press, release and the press again. In the few seconds I can adjust the exposure just fine, but when the yellow window fades my exposure is back to auto. In StaCam AE/AF lock works for both focus and exposure. Kind regards.
Hello Joeri… interesting name… Unfortunately it is the way you are describing. Every android will be different and some might not be that compatible.
The membership for your comment about is that not with the gold card you get with the premium package. I bought it a few months back and I thought my back would be a lot better by now but it’s not so I haven’t activated the membership yet or that gold card is this the membership you were talking about?
Yes the card gives you few months free I believe
@@ZdenkaDarula Love your videos keep up the good work 👍
I'm in love with you and your content. Thanks
You are very welcome
At around 12:00 you mention a link where you can find out if your Android phone is compatible with the Smooth 5. I can't seem to find that link. Could you please post it?
And always enjoy your videos. Always interesting and informative.
Unfortunately it is not there any longer.. just contact Zhiyun directly please
@@ZdenkaDarula Got it...will do.
Well, I got the Smooth 5 and registered. They had a rather large update to the software that I downloaded. I have an Android Moto G stylus 2021. Once I downloaded the update, just about everything, I can use on the Smooth 5. I checked the zoom wheel and it works great. I have not gone through all the possible features yet but the ones I want work!!!
So, good news here. Now if I can somehow connect my phone to the power...my connect port is against the gimbal? And connect my Rode wireless mike???
Hello. I am finding that the zoom control does not work when live streaming with RTMP (through TH-cam) using the YZ Cami app and that the StaCam app does not have a live streaming capability. Was hoping to use the Smooth 5 gimbal to help support live streaming sporting events. Am I missing something? Thank you for all your assistance.
That is all unfortunately correct… there are limitations when it comes to live streaming
Can any confirm for me if this gimbal is compatible with my Pixel 6 Pro?
I can't find a compatibility list on the website and but I downloaded StaCam 👍🏽
Recently bought a whole OM5 set before doing research 😓 wish I would have found this channel earlier
1:26. Does it come with a built in extending stick!?
Thank you for helping out
Yes you should be fine with that phone
GoPro Hero 11 camera This gimbal
Can you use it?
This is only for smart phones
Wonder if the smooth 5 Bluetooth connection is better than the smooth Q3 with Android. I had to give up,using the q3 after a few weeks . Bluetooth never stayed connected on 4 different androids. I did whatapp Customer service , to ask this question. No reply .
Hm… I am sorry to hear that. I don’t have that issue
Is this gimbal the best or the dji oem 4 ؟؟؟
They are both good
@@ZdenkaDarula I know that, but I want to inquire who is the best in terms of tracking and additions and is compatible with most phones and the lack of problems in operation
Olá! Parabéns por este seu vídeo. Adquiri este gimbal e confesso que fiquei completamente doido ao verificar que com o zy cami a roda de foco não funcionava, embora todos TH-camrs que fiz a pergunta dissessem que sim nunca referindo o app StaCam. Depois de ver este seu vídeo foi um alívio, por isso a congratulo pela honestidade e forma como abordou todos os comandos do smooth 5. É um ótimo gimbal e estou muito feliz com ele. Parabéns novamente e desejos de continuação de tão bons vídeos como este. Cumprimentos 👍
If I could only understand your language but I don’t
Seems like anti-shake function in StaCam is better than the one in ZYCami when shooting. Most of the features in StaCam need monthly subscription to be activated.. Why they dont offer one-off price.. TT
Yes StaCam has better stabilization…
Name some gimbals which doesn't show motor in wide lens?(in both vertical and horizontal filming)
All of the new gimbals
🇧🇩
Dji om5 and zhiyun smooth 5
who is best? please reply
It depends on your phone and compatibility
@@ZdenkaDarulaWhich do you think is the best?
What makes my day is …
Can I use stock cam from my xs max and still use those camera features?

Hello… please contact Zhiyun customer support as this is their department… I have no clue how pricing works.
How does video quality compare to apps like FilmicPro?
I don’t see a difference there… it is good
@@ZdenkaDarula Thank you! Can this app use apples new Action mode feature as well?
Like this zhiyun smooth 5 (android), so android for dji om5 apps please 🙏 or can use (StaCam/Zy Cami) for dji om5 ?
For DJI you have to use DJI Mimo only
@@ZdenkaDarula thanks 🌹
can i use/film with the gimbal without using those app? i mean using my camera on app only
Yes, you absolutely can. You will be tapping on the screen as he would normally if you didn’t have a gimbal, and the gimbal will just help you to stabilize the footage
When I use the zy cami, the video is shaky, and when I use the native app on the phone, I get a better quality footage, it could be my phone (Xiaomi 9T) or you think it's the app that is free. Thanks.
There is stabilization button in the ZY cami app you need to turn on
Which gimbal has had most updates since release? Has that made it most capable gimbal?
All gimbals have updates and all gimbals are capable
@@ZdenkaDarula most capable, I know they are all capable.
Can I use this gimbal without the apps and shoot in raw mode and then edit using filmora?
You can use any gimbal outside of their app. The focus wheel won’t work though
How well will it work with Xperia Pro-I?
I am sorry I don’t know as I don’t have that phone.. please check compatibility list on their website
