The first time I watched your video was when I was having a hard time choosing what gimbal to use for my thesis. I can say that you greatly influence my decision. For that I did enjoy my trial data gathering with the indigenous peoples living in Occidental Mindoro, Philippines. There were selected students who shared their stories on how they perceived the world as Mangyan students. I let them used my smartphone and gimbal. Most of them were surprised to see from the screen how their place and their looked like. I am going back in Mindoro for my field work, this time I am bringing 2 gimbals: one for my smartphone and another for my action camera. I wanted to give opportunity to all the students in Grade 6 and 7 to share their stories through photos and videos. This time I wanted them to capture how they interact with the creatures on land and rivers within their ancestral domain. Hoping that with this activity they will realize the need to fight for their rights and the future of their community. In case you give me your gimbal, I will donate it to the school of the Mangyans, so they could continue sharing their stories through photos and videos, and most of all remember and continue to respect the elders who shared their indigenous knowledge.
Hi Babalola from Nigeria. Winning this Gimbal would save me money to investment into new ambition in making cinematic videos. I will be really joyful If I will this gimbal. Pls Jeven Dovey
Thanks for great tips and shots really was useful for me because I have a channel and I do daily vlog.If I win this gimbal it will helps me allot to develop my vd skills.i wish to win 😊
Ha ha, 😂, Ministry of Funny Walks, lol 😂 But Seriously...... great tips. I like the way you also show how it would turn out if you did it 'wrong'. Entered
I am a big fan of your videos. I started making my videos and created my TH-cam channel because of you. It would be my pleasure to win this gimbal because I don’t have one. I got one but I lost it. I couldn’t afford another after that and kinda lost my interest in making videos, but your videos keep me encouraging and I still try to make videos with my phone handheld. I can move forward towards my dream in a better way with the help of this tiny gimbal. Thank you!
This gimbal is so tiny, it fit in my bus. I wish i can win this for vlogging. I want to stat vloging and mommy life i cant buy this now.having this gimbal woll help me pratice all these tips ypu just shared with us. Thank yoi again for creating this content, even if i dont win this, when ever i can succeed to buy one, it will still b useful just like your other videos.
I want to win this gimbal to use it like you have teached us in the video!!! And because everything I shot now is made with a phone, so perfect combination!
These are really great tips Jeven. You covered some important considerations that aren't intuitive to those who are not used to making films. I really loved the tip on how to get "jib-like" shots. Thanks and keep up the great work! #notificationsquad :)
3:50 Duck walk? In the Marine Corps I was trained in CQB (Close Quarters Battle) we called it, "The Low Grouch-O" Why? No idea!? But we would do room clearing with that same walk to keep from bouncing the sights or gun while walking. So I already have that down! LOL HA HA
In February 2018 I started my TH-cam channel. I was 65 at the time. Originally it was to share some adventures I was to have with my Australian grandson when he stayed in Nederland with me. Apart from encouragement initially from a TH-cam friend, I'm mainly self taught. Videos like yours are an enormous help. Understanding all you said about the seaside up and down motion while walking. I'd be OH SO PROUD to receive this Gimbal and impress not only my grandchildren, but myself included, with even beter videos. I feel more confident with every video I post although I know the quality and expertise varies each time. Fingers crossed! None the less I'm pleased to have discovered your channel and will continue to check out tips, and for me, new technics. One is never too old to learn. Oh and please don't let my address be a negative. The postie knows where to find me. ;-)
I have a DJI mobile right now (1st gen, I think), but it's big and bulky and I've had to kludge it to work with the bigger iPhones (weights attached to counterbalance). I've been looking at their new one, but smaller is better for me. Have you compared the two? This looks great and the tips are helpful no matter the gear. Thanks!
Thanks for this Jovey! Aspiring youtuber/vlogger as well. May I ask, is smartphones with a gimbal with extra length do better shots or an action cam in a selfie stick? (number 6 tip) Thanks in advance 😊
Very nice review,hope to get that smoothq2 gimbal, I really need this for my video shoots, please haha, more reviews to comee!!! A subscriber from the Philippines!
Jeven, I love your videos but as a magazine editor, the spelling errors kept jumping out at me. You spelled "gimbal" wrong in tip #2, and there's a whole bunch of spelling errors in the giveaway page as well. Let me know if you need a copy editor and I'd be happy to help!
Can I have it sir 😌😌😌 nice tutorial I'm just starting to film and solo b-roll ..kindly please give me some tips on my upload video to my channel..thank you godblesd
Amazing camera movement tips. I get it Zhiyun is the sponsor today but do you really need a gimbal for mobile phones? Which Iphone are you using, maybe you should make a comparison video of inbuilt stablization v Gimbal.
You've convinced me that I want one of these. Always looking to upgrade my videos. I want this so I can level up my content. I can't really afford much extra for my youtube right now so I always make the best of what I have. That gimble would get some use here. lol I want it. The tips were super useful and help me realize I need to plan more before I press record.
Great tips mate cheers I like the selfie stick boom moves. I had the earlier zyiun loved it until it got hit by a rogue wave and fried. Then instead of replacing like for like I went for the osmo 2 and a couple of months in I’m not sold on it yet need to practice more with it. One thing I like about the new zyiun is the compact size. 📷❤️✊️
I went to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand a couple of weeks ago and I left my Zhiyun Smooth 4 at the bus going to Cambodia. This Q2 is a good replacement for Smooth 4.
I love the fact that this gimbal is so compact, in comparison to most other other gimbals .. It's so easy to make content when you're in a mall or in a hotel and public places, so and you don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable and people staring at you
Thanks for all the videos I have learned a lot. I do a lot of hiking and video and take a lot of pictures when I hike. This gimbal would be perfect for those times I am doing an extended multi-day hike and want to reduce my pack weight. Thanks for the giveaway
I really want to explore getting into filming with a gimbal. It would come in handy for when I make travel videos. Starting with something simple like this one would be a great beginning for me. Thanks for the info!
Good day im jeck from.philippines i realy like to win that gimbal im a new youtuber here in my province..i love the small gimbal easy to use also it fits my mobile phone plz plz pl let me win..i have old gimbal ang its battey not last for 4hours using so.plz plz let me win or have this tnx godbless
That is awesome I am actually a new TH-camr I am looking and learning things just like what you said so if you gonna give me the Gimbal it would be a gift from you and that is totally awesome and I can take cool shots from it and feature in my blogs I will be very happy 😃 thank you
Nice, i had bought one, which is okay, but cant move much due to motor stress, 200 grams limit is too low, i guess. Anyway loved your video, i can improve the stability and shots with pratice and steps you mentioned.
I like the compact form factor of the smooth Q2. Your tips coupled with the Q2 would be ideal to help me get smooth video on my smartphone. Thanks for a great video.
JD... can I win..??... it’s my first gimbal for my travel... nah... it’s not gonna happen...... thanks any way... but I still watching your channels... thumb up....
I would quite like this gimbal, I have tried several but none were really what I wanted or liked and this is the first video I have seen about Q2 that was not from the manufacturer.
Hi. I see this video is quite old so perhaps you've got more careful but you might want to check out your title texts. It shows 'gimal' instead of 'gimbal' in several places🙃 Also you didn't mention you can charge your phone plugging into the Q2 which I think is a great feature.
1. Plan out your shots 2. Keep your gimbal level 3. Keep your body stable 4. Gimbal Duck Walk 5. Move like a big camera 6. Build out your gimbal 7. Create dynamic shots 8. Use manual settings 9. Use gimbal to make transitions 10. Practice gimbal moves
Great Vids... I keep learning more and more... Keep it up... Thank you... Hope I can get that Gimbal really really want to learn more... Any idea when this gimbal be available in Malaysia... 😉
I am very interested in Q2 mainly because of not restricted 360 degrees rotation. I use the Smooth-4 where rotation is restricted to max 310 degrees because of mechanical structure. May I ask two questions: 1. Remote control: Is possible to drive Q2 rotation using an external joystick from additional Android device with ZY-Play running in joystick mode? Any restrictions in horizontal 360 degrees rotation? 2. Slowing down gimbal reactions to get very smooth cinematic look in reveal, panorama or orbit: I use Smooth-4 and sometime I modify the PTZ parameters to slow down gimbal reactions. Does the Smooth Q2 with ZY-Play app have the same possibility regarding tuning PTZ parameters?
This is one of the best tutorials for gimbals for smartphone.!! I myself use the Osmo Mobile with iPhone, now iPhone 11 Pro Max. Both with normal lens and Ultra Wide. Filming in confined spaces is very successful with Ultra Wide. I've also been filming with the Osmo Pocket for more than a year. But in narrow spaces, the iPhone with Ultra Wide and Osmo Mobile is more suitable. I think the Zhiyun SMOOTH Q2 is even better than the older Osmo Mobile.
Hi Jeven, first of all, thank you for all your reviews and videos! Please, can you compare Zhyiun Smooth Q2 with other gimbals - especially FreeVision Vilta M PRO, Snoppa Atom and DJI Osmo mobile 3. These four gimbals are in my list now and dont know which one can be a right one... Thank you!
I disagree with the premise... I’ve been shooting the Nikon Z6 on Moza Air 2 for a couple months and the gimbal shots I’ve been making with my iPhone 7Plus off the Osmo Mobile 3 are MUCH smoother!!! One, is the fatigue factor... But I think the lighter weight - all else being equal - means LESS mass to stablize... not more. Less means less that can be effected by imperfections in handling the gimbal. Finally, the software in the camera phones is simply - less challenging - than a camera body trying to stablize it’s own body AND the separate lens.
Awesome!!! I’ve subscribed! Didn’t realize I wasn’t. Been watching so many of your videos without that sub and bell being hit. Ooh ooh I really wanna win because I would love to start mobile videography. Big passion! So stoked! Thanks!
You don't have to squat walk. Think about your lens, not your walk. Yes, your body is your gimbal... but you don't have to look like a dork and squat walk to achieve this. Oof. Evolution of human....
Jeven!!!! Omaigosh, I am so glad I found your channel, not sure how but I am happy I landed here! I have been wanting a gimbal because I am starting my channel and I would love to win because this since will help me record my hairstyles that I do on my self for training, smoother shots , steadiness along with your tips this is a win win!!! I am looking forward to try the duck walking tip 🤣🤣👌🏾🔥IG @curlymorena_ Braids and more hair styles @_twistedroots I would like to know more for seamless transitions. Notifications #ON! Form was filled out for the giveaway. Fingers crossed 🤙🏽
Nice video! When you are speaking. What camera did you vlog to? I have ordered this gimbal. Hope it is good. I ordered the smooth 4 a year ago. not good. I also have the M2 good gimbal but this company does not do a great job in keeping up with supporting cameras. I ordered the Crane M2 and the Sony RX100 VII but they don't support that Camera with the software. I also Have the A6400 that does work well the M2 and is supported. Again a very informative demo. Definitely reminds me of what I am not doing correctly. LOL
I just started my channel. Didn’t want to fall into G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) so I decided to just get started with my iPhone X. A gimbal would help me make better footage to increase the quality of my content. Thanks for all your tips and help bro!!
Great video with quick tips for better shots ..... kinda what I’m trying to do with my quick tips to better driving. Wish I had a gimbal!!! Winning would be the bomb!
Great advice for better gimbal footage. My favorite bit was the "duck walk" for a couple reasons. One, my name is Donald so.. Donald the duckwalkin' videographer fits perfectly. Second, I've noticed the bobble you talk about in my own footage shot with a different gimbal. Another good tip was the movement of your body.. side to side. Thanks for great tips. Why would I like to win this gimbal, other than free? Mine is too big to simply put in my pocket. I do a fair amount of bicycle riding too, and I could use a more easily packable gimbal for the hydration pack. Thanks for great tips either way.
I've been looking at getting a gimbal for my phone for two reasons. 1. B roll! 2. I'm currently (temporarily, though it's been almost a year, so how temporary is that, really?) on disability and spend most of my days at a 30 degree angle, watching TH-cam videos. I'm hoping a gimbal will actually help get me out of the house :)
As I travel all over the world, in fact, I am heading to the island of Jamaica, tomorrow. 09/22/19. I wish I had a Gimbal! that would make my life more interesting, and my footage more smooth. Thanks, for this dope Video!
I'm new to photography and film making and I'm trying to build up my arsenal of tools. The Zhiyun would be very helpful as I'm trying to learn this craft.
This is the best presentation I have seen in connection with gimbals. Probably because it confirms my own experiences very well. I wish I had found her sooner. I have a lot of practice with Zhiyun Smoot 4 and figured out for myself how to avoid the BOBBLE effect and how best to get a smooth cinematic film. I call it "ninja steps". It is difficult for me because I am 71 years old, but the effort pays off, the effect is great. Of course I tried to reduce the BOBBLE effect with the software but without success.
I have another video for your on ways to move your gimbal to get cinematic shots: th-cam.com/video/ZTTKIx4_sKc/w-d-xo.html
Dude Love your stuff, but your spelling needs some attention. Tip #2 should be spelled Gimbal not Gimal
Great tips.
@@digiklump haha that was a typo. Thanks for the heads up.
Love your work here and can't wait to use this gimbal!
more than one typo

I decided to vlog with my iphone recently so this smartphone gimbal would be a huge step forward for my footage. And of course: great video again ;)
Thank you for this. Very helpful.
this video has got me thinking about mobile filmmaking
Hi Babalola from Nigeria. Winning this Gimbal would save me money to investment into new ambition in making cinematic videos.

I would like to win this smooth q2 to gimbal to shoot short films around the Long Beach area.

These are really great tips Jeven. You covered some important considerations that aren't intuitive to those who are not used to making films. I really loved the tip on how to get "jib-like" shots. Thanks and keep up the great work! #notificationsquad :)
You footage is awesome and the tips too,thanks that's can help me to create more steady shoot, not have gimbal yet because of expensive stuff 😁
I want to win it because it's going to be my very first gimbal! as a new youtuber, it will be a great help for my future contents! 🤩
Fantastic tips and a great phone gimbal they keep getting better. I like that you don't butt the side of the phone up against the gimbal arm anymore.
I just don’t know why all these companies price their items much higher in India as compared to other countries 👎🏼
it is our country's tax that differs most of the time
Thank you so much for these tips. I wish I can buy a cp gimbal someday :)
I am in the process of shopping around for a gimbel but it needs to hold a iPhone 8+
How would I connect microphone with gimbal?
This is a great video tips for me as a new TH-cam. Keep it up guys.
3:50 Duck walk? In the Marine Corps I was trained in CQB (Close Quarters Battle) we called it, "The Low Grouch-O" Why? No idea!? But we would do room clearing with that same walk to keep from bouncing the sights or gun while walking. So I already have that down! LOL HA HA
“Spray everywhere and shoot everything!” Interesting........
How some people play FPS games... Spray and pray
i just buy zhiyun q2 But I dont understand how to use it...!
I've just got back into the TH-cam game and I'm vlogging with my phone. If I won, then this would help make my videos look even better.
In February 2018 I started my TH-cam channel. I was 65 at the time. Originally it was to share some adventures I was to have with my Australian grandson when he stayed in Nederland with me. Apart from encouragement initially from a TH-cam friend, I'm mainly self taught. Videos like yours are an enormous help. Understanding all you said about the seaside up and down motion while walking.

I feel more confident with every video I post although I know the quality and expertise varies each time. Fingers crossed! None the less I'm pleased to have discovered your channel and will continue to check out tips, and for me, new technics. One is never too old to learn. Oh and please don't let my address be a negative. The postie knows where to find me. ;-)
Great video thank you
I have a DJI mobile right now (1st gen, I think), but it's big and bulky and I've had to kludge it to work with the bigger iPhones (weights attached to counterbalance). I've been looking at their new one, but smaller is better for me. Have you compared the two? This looks great and the tips are helpful no matter the gear. Thanks!

Does the Q2 do subject tracking?
Jeven, I love your videos but as a magazine editor, the spelling errors kept jumping out at me. You spelled "gimbal" wrong in tip #2, and there's a whole bunch of spelling errors in the giveaway page as well. Let me know if you need a copy editor and I'd be happy to help!
Can I have it sir 😌😌😌 nice tutorial I'm just starting to film and solo b-roll ..kindly please give me some tips on my upload video to my channel..thank you godblesd

Great video on small gimbal techniques. I was trying to decide between Smooth Q2 and the Crane M2 - went with the Crane M2.
they are good but wrong decicion, should have gone with dji

Great video! I would love a gimbal, because I am a brand new TH-cam creator, only using a smart phone. I don’t even have a computer yet.
I really want to explore getting into filming with a gimbal. It would come in handy for when I make travel videos. Starting with something simple like this one would be a great beginning for me. Thanks for the info!
Good day im jeck from.philippines i realy like to win that gimbal im a new youtuber here in my province..i love the small gimbal easy to use also it fits my mobile phone plz plz pl let me win..i have old gimbal ang its battey not last for 4hours using so.plz plz let me win or have this tnx godbless

Also idk if this matters to you, but step 2 has gimbal spelled without a b
Excellent tips. Thanks much
I like the compact form factor of the smooth Q2. Your tips coupled with the Q2 would be ideal to help me get smooth video on my smartphone. Thanks for a great video.
JD... can I win..??... it’s my first gimbal for my travel... nah... it’s not gonna happen...... thanks any way... but I still watching your channels... thumb up....
I would like to win this gimbal for my wife, she's a beginer youtube vlogger " @K5tarr "
I would use it for a lot of b-roll for my wedding videos. Since I don’t have a a gimbal for my big camera. Love the videos buddy
Thanks for the tips Jeven!
Getting this gimbal would be a good way to start with my own gimbal and apply your tips!
Looked like yoga in the park! 😂😂😂
I would quite like this gimbal, I have tried several but none were really what I wanted or liked and this is the first video I have seen about Q2 that was not from the manufacturer.
Really nice tips... I wish to win the giveaway... I always wanted to have a gimbal..it would be a dream come true...
Looks like Santa Monica, maybe?
Hi. I see this video is quite old so perhaps you've got more careful but you might want to check out your title texts. It shows 'gimal' instead of 'gimbal' in several places🙃 Also you didn't mention you can charge your phone plugging into the Q2 which I think is a great feature.
I use my smartphone along with my GoPro to vlog and shoot B-roll. This would come in super handy for those cell phone shots.
Yey! Giveaway 😍
good tips!! i use my cell phone for everything! having a gimble would totally help with movement in my videos for tennis and other sports pick me!!!!
1. Plan out your shots
2. Keep your gimbal level
3. Keep your body stable
4. Gimbal Duck Walk
5. Move like a big camera
6. Build out your gimbal
7. Create dynamic shots
8. Use manual settings
9. Use gimbal to make transitions
10. Practice gimbal moves
Gimbal should take care of bobble effect, that should have been core purpose of buying a Gimbal.......
That's disappointing
Great Vids... I keep learning more and more... Keep it up... Thank you... Hope I can get that Gimbal really really want to learn more... Any idea when this gimbal be available in Malaysia... 😉
Wow great content cool, pls advise if Osmo is a camera you can propose for a beginner like me to use.
I mostly edit using my phone
I am very interested in Q2 mainly because of not restricted 360 degrees rotation. I use the Smooth-4 where rotation is restricted to max 310 degrees because of mechanical structure. May I ask two questions:
1. Remote control: Is possible to drive Q2 rotation using an external joystick from additional Android device with ZY-Play running in joystick mode? Any restrictions in horizontal 360 degrees rotation?
2. Slowing down gimbal reactions to get very smooth cinematic look in reveal, panorama or orbit: I use Smooth-4 and sometime I modify the PTZ parameters to slow down gimbal reactions. Does the Smooth Q2 with ZY-Play app have the same possibility regarding tuning PTZ parameters?
Hi Jeven, I am going to shoot on a beach for my youtube channel. Thank you for these awesome tips.
This is one of the best tutorials for gimbals for smartphone.!!
I myself use the Osmo Mobile with iPhone, now iPhone 11 Pro Max. Both with normal lens and Ultra Wide. Filming in confined spaces is very successful with Ultra Wide.
I've also been filming with the Osmo Pocket for more than a year. But in narrow spaces, the iPhone with Ultra Wide and Osmo Mobile is more suitable.
I think the Zhiyun SMOOTH Q2 is even better than the older Osmo Mobile.
Hi Jeven, first of all, thank you for all your reviews and videos! Please, can you compare Zhyiun Smooth Q2 with other gimbals - especially FreeVision Vilta M PRO, Snoppa Atom and DJI Osmo mobile 3. These four gimbals are in my list now and dont know which one can be a right one... Thank you!
I disagree with the premise...
I’ve been shooting the Nikon Z6 on Moza Air 2 for a couple months and the gimbal shots I’ve been making with my iPhone 7Plus off the Osmo Mobile 3 are MUCH smoother!!!
One, is the fatigue factor...
But I think the lighter weight - all else being equal - means LESS mass to stablize... not more. Less means less that can be effected by imperfections in handling the gimbal.
Finally, the software in the camera phones is simply - less challenging - than a camera body trying to stablize it’s own body AND the separate lens.
Great Tips
Great shots
Great gimbal
I have a Zhiyun smooth Q and i’m gonna upgrade to the Q2 soon !
Awesome!!! I’ve subscribed! Didn’t realize I wasn’t. Been watching so many of your videos without that sub and bell being hit.

Subscribe ✅ done.. hope it i will win 🤗
God bless you always
I just started my channel. Didn’t want to fall into G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) so I decided to just get started with my iPhone X. A gimbal would help me make better footage to increase the quality of my content. Thanks for all your tips and help bro!!
Great video with quick tips for better shots ..... kinda what I’m trying to do with my quick tips to better driving. Wish I had a gimbal!!! Winning would be the bomb!
Great advice for better gimbal footage. My favorite bit was the "duck walk" for a couple reasons. One, my name is Donald so.. Donald the duckwalkin' videographer fits perfectly. Second, I've noticed the bobble you talk about in my own footage shot with a different gimbal. Another good tip was the movement of your body.. side to side. Thanks for great tips. Why would I like to win this gimbal, other than free? Mine is too big to simply put in my pocket. I do a fair amount of bicycle riding too, and I could use a more easily packable gimbal for the hydration pack. Thanks for great tips either way.
I've been looking at getting a gimbal for my phone for two reasons. 1. B roll! 2. I'm currently (temporarily, though it's been almost a year, so how temporary is that, really?) on disability and spend most of my days at a 30 degree angle, watching TH-cam videos. I'm hoping a gimbal will actually help get me out of the house :)
As I travel all over the world, in fact, I am heading to the island of Jamaica, tomorrow. 09/22/19.
I wish I had a Gimbal! that would make my life more interesting, and my footage more smooth. Thanks, for this dope Video!
Its pretty cool and awesome to get a smooth cenimatic shots..superb for sharing ur tips sir jeven!
Thanks Jeven, I tried some of these techniques yesterday, they worked really well. I still need more practice but it makes sense
I'm new to photography and film making and I'm trying to build up my arsenal of tools. The Zhiyun would be very helpful as I'm trying to learn this craft.
This is the best presentation I have seen in connection with gimbals. Probably because it confirms my own experiences very well. I wish I had found her sooner. I have a lot of practice with Zhiyun Smoot 4 and figured out for myself how to avoid the BOBBLE effect and how best to get a smooth cinematic film. I call it "ninja steps". It is difficult for me because I am 71 years old, but the effort pays off, the effect is great. Of course I tried to reduce the BOBBLE effect with the software but without success.
