Amazing video like it so much🤩.. In vortex mode will it rotate close to 360 degree.

[@TRIOStories]

It will indeed! It’s such a nice mode to get creative with 😊

[@WalkingMario]

Great video

[@TRIOStories]

Thanks Benji 😍 glad you liked them! ❤️

[@mikecasey218]

Brilliant video, waiting on my Q4 from Amazon, can't wait..

[@TRIOStories]

Thanks so much Mike! Ooh enjoy - I’m sure you will 😁

[@SlateRiverLeather]

What's the maximum tilt range...can it boom, using the extension, from a low ground level shot, up to a drone-like high shot? Thanks! Keep up the good. work!

[@TRIOStories]

Hey! Thanks so much for your question. Yes absolutely! The extension 'stick' doesn't affect the angle of operation of the gimbal at all, so it can certainly boom from a low level shot to a high one in one motion, you would just have to make sure that any movement on the tilt axis was smooth of course, that would probably be the challenge - but it's certainly possible :) The actual specs for the tilt angles are here: www.zhiyun-tech.com/en/product/param/606?type=website&page=second_nav&source=param

[@SlateRiverLeather]

@@TRIOStories yes, but those are mere mechanical specs...the software limits the actual use range...so I was wondering about real life range...cheers!

[@therivervalepig]

Great tips guys! Thank you

[@TRIOStories]

So glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful!

[@paparazzina1]

I have a question, how do you use the vortex mode, I try to rotate it, it does not rotate after having it on vortex mode, do advice as I love your video

[@TRIOStories]

Hey! We are so sorry to hear that you're having issues with the Vortex mode. Are you holding your gimbal in the 'torch' position, kind of leaning forward when trying to rotate it?

[@joaosouza7345]

Amei o vídeo! Muito booooom.

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the video. We are hoping to create more like this and have quite a lot more about mobile filmmaking already on our channel! :)

thank you! Happy you’re here 😊

[@edmundowang5547]

great trip and really impressed by the gimbal.

[@TRIOStories]

Thanks so much Edmundo! ☺️

[@DVM-61GroupD]

Can I use the vortex mode in my Zhiyun smooth Q4?If yes then How can I use it?

[@TRIOStories]

Hey! Yes, your Q4 definitely can do Vortex mode. It should just be available, as you cycle the different modes with the Mode button. It should say 'V'. You can see how to change the different modes here, on page 10: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20220524/1653358831641-eyreh47T.pdf Hope this helps! :)

[@mosybil7214]

This was so fun! Good little gimbal made me want to make videos a little more like this, haha so thanks for the inspiration

[@TRIOStories]

Ah thanks so much Mo that means a lot! ☺️

[@unizavlog]

Okie i undersyand now my own smooth q4

[@TRIOStories]

So glad to hear it :)

[@thewatcher33]

Really great video guys. Just when I purchased the Smooth Q3, one year later there is a Smooth Q4. Maddening but I'm getting one soon.

[@TRIOStories]

How did you find your Smooth Q3?? Do you have any videos you made with it? We would love to see them. And the Q4 is great, we honestly loved using it.

[@thewatcher33]

@@TRIOStories I Purchased my Smooth Q3 on Amazon. I have shot many videos with it, unfortunately my portable hard drive crashed but I have a few on my Facebook page. I will be shooting some more videos soon, when I do. I will get them to you.

[@TRIOStories]

@@thewatcher33 Amazing! We look forward to seeing them. Sorry to hear about your harddrive though - that sucks :(

[@its_lexy_here712]

I have a xiaomi 12 pro as well and ive been looking out for good phone gimbals...and smooth q4 has recently peaked my interest...all i wanna know if it supports the phone's native camera at 4k 60fps... Please respond. I'll be grateful.

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you so much for your question! It really depends on how you're planning to use the gimbal. We used the native app mostly and it works absolutely fine, but you can also use the ZY Camy app if you want the additional, creative functionality :) It will definitely work great with your Xiaomi 12 pro.

[@jenalan4633]

@@TRIOStoriesmay I know what thenative app you guys use in this video?

[@TRIOStories]

@@jenalan4633 hey! This was using the native camera app in the xiaomi phone. If you have an iPhone we'd recommend using the Black Magic Camera App, if you're using android, then Filmic Pro is a great option!

[@victorfilgueira3000]

Nice video!!

[@TRIOStories]

Thanks so much 🙏🏼

[@fardin_gallery]

Thank for video ❤ when i tilt gimbal 180° it rotates phone automaticalley what should i do for not doing this?

[@TRIOStories]

Thank you for your comment! So glad you enjoyed the video. I'm so sorry to hear that you're having issues with the gimbal. It's difficult to know what might be causing this. Which mode are you using the gimbal in for this to happen? I think if I understand your question correctly, you might want to use the L mode which is "Lock" in order to lock the direction the phone is facing? Could you maybe send us a video of the problem via our insta? We might be able to advise you better then, if the above doesn't help.

[@fardin_gallery]

@@TRIOStories you know it happens at all modes except pov mode and i don't want to tilt 180 when i'm filming thats big problem , i think i push the trigger buttom and ot happened but now i can't disable it . Thanks for answer ♥️

[@PiquePictures]

Nice ideas!

[@TRIOStories]

Thanks 😊

[@hebehe462]

WOW, enjoyable video with a useful device.

[@TRIOStories]

So glad you liked it ❤️

[@SeeDaRipper...]

I was wondering for ages what the phone was (i kept bloody rewinding) then on the next segway says it's the Xiaomi 12 (next on my list as i have the Mi11) ironically i'm getting this gimble this week (for my 50th BD treat to Rome/Naples/Sorrento) so these tips are gonna come in use, so by default, you get a sub👍

[@TRIOStories]

Hehe! It’s a great phone for photos and video for sure! Ahh amazing Happy 50th Birthday 🥳 have a wonderful trip. We’re so happy to have you here ☺️

[@SeeDaRipper...]

@@TRIOStories Hi again, thanks for the wishes. I'm due to get this gimble in a few days, but i've heard nothing but bad news about the ZY cami app (on Android) as mentioned before you are using a Xiaomi Mi 12 (i have the Mi 11) I've heard you can only record to internal memory (so no SD card or USB OTG) is this true? also do you *have* to pay for a subscription? also i hear about it losing connectivity (bluetooth) etc...Is there any other apps compatible with the Q4? (i've heard of Filmic pro- but it costs a fortune) and StaCam (but from i could see initially it can't do 4k 60fps??? -it's just grayed out?) any others?? P.s i'm trawling through your vids for other tips)

[@TRIOStories]

@@SeeDaRipper... Hey! Glad to hear you're going to pick up a Q4 - it really is a lot of fun and you will enjoy it for sure. In terms of app connectivity - we are not the best people to ask probably, because we have only ever used it with the native app (not controlling the gimbal through the app and only using the functions on the gimbal itself for changing settings) and Filmic Pro. We have also only ever recorded to the internal memory of the phone, but with our version having 256GB internal space, it has never been an issue in terms of capacity. Sorry that we're not able to be of much help! Usually the gear we test out is pre-production, so it doesn't have all of the functionality (especially often, it can't connect to a mobile app yet), so we are not the best people to ask about this bit!

[@SeeDaRipper...]

@@TRIOStories Ah ok, well it's a bit late now as i've just received it, so i'll play with it in Italy (and judge the best app or just use the stock cam app) cheers for answering.

[@reedzhang3213]

nice upgrade from Smooth Q3! with the extention, the filmmaking will be more helpful!

[@TRIOStories]

Yea we love the extendable selfie stick - was great for getting some unique angles!

[@xppoffoldie]

I bought same gimbal today but not sure why my mobile doesn’t remain that stable as yours even in Lock mode…it rotates in all possible directions and doesn’t feel like I have full control on mobiles position…not sure is it something im doing wrong or device is not setting the modes accurately.

[@TRIOStories]

Hey Pankaj! I am so sorry to hear that, it sounds quite strange indeed. Have you got your gimbal updated to the latest firmware?

[@topicruben]

That was beautiful and super cool at the same time, but……….., those were not pancakes 🥞 those were crepes 😭😭😭😂😂😂. Thanks guys. Alway a pleasure watching your videos. Cheers

[@anitalaure9463]

J’ai tellement aimé le design du produit que je l’utiliserai pour les prochaines vidéos

[@SeeDaRipper...]

Hi again, sorry to be a pain, but what Xiaomi 12 (or is it a Mi12?) do you have? my gimble is having problems with my Mi11 as i think it's too heavy...If i knew your model i could check the stats online (otherwise it may be broken or something?) any help would be most appreciated.

[@TRIOStories]

Hey! It's no problem at all - we are happy to help. We were using the standard Xiaomi 12 and it seemed to work absolutely fine with the weight. It might be a case of making sure that the phone is as balanced as possible on the grip mount (make sure the centre of gravity is as close to in-line with the handle of the gimbal). Hopefully this helps!

[@feriksatmadireja-z5v]

how do you spinning like this using the zhiyun q4? 01:33

[@chenlyn-cj8ve]

it is in V mode.

[@TRIOStories]

Also POV mode

[@fusionwalk]

OMG I need help! I have watched so many tutorials of this thing and still cannot get mine to work. Had a balloon flight I wanted to film and had to leave my Zhiyun Smooth Q4 at home as it just goes wild. HELP! Please 🙏

[@TRIOStories]

So sorry to hear that! It's really difficult for us to diagnose the problem without actually seeing what's happening. We would love to help. Can you maybe tweet us @TRIOStories with a video of the problem?

[@sirferguson955]

i couldn’t do the “around the world” would you explain it pls

[@TRIOStories]

It is quite tricky to do. You have to try it multiple times to get a good result. As you orbit the object with the gimbal, you also have to be turning the gimbal in your hands. It’s quite complicated 😂 I actually use 2 hands for this so I can go all the way around. I hope this was more helpful!

[@sirferguson955]

@ thanks a lot 🙏
