A foldable two-axis selfie stick gimbal? | Zhiyun SMOOTH X

[@iphoneographers]

FYI, this gimbal apparently does hold 235g, but the info from Zhiyun is confusing as it says "Valid Payload" is 200g plus/minus 35g. So it seems the "ideal" payload is 200g, but will hold up to 235g. Either way the iPhone 11 Pro Max worked okay with the Litechaser Pro, but was probably pushing the weight limit.

Do you use ZY cami app for shooting? Or you are using iPhone default camera? I realized device taken and GPS info was not stored if using ZY cami app. And, the date taken is not found after photos transferred into windows laptop.

[@iphoneographers]

Used Filmic Pro.

[@TheKing4576]

Just order this today shooting my own music videos with this gear can’t wait 💪🏽💯🙌🏽

[@iphoneographers]

Cool. Good luck with the projects!

[@TonyBabarino]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! A “Blake” sighting! Very cinematic! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@iphoneographers]

All about the cinematic. 😎

[@RCModSquad]

Only 2 axis but within the limits of that it looks there may be some utility for a lot of people. Curious about the battery, it almost sounds like it’s not shutting down completely or maybe just a bad battery. The low angle shots would work well for some of the things I do. Have a great day and be safe out there!

[@iphoneographers]

Battery worked fine in use. Just the standby time was a bit odd, especially compared to like the Smooth 4 which has amazing battery life. The telescoping arm is nice and definitely useful. Thanks for watching!

[@LouisLuzuka]

Appreciate your transparency

[@WilliamJusticeMedia]

Nice Video... Really hope you guys enjoyed the beach house. Its funny... As soon as I saw the outside driving around shots.. I was pretty sure I knew where you were. I live in Houston, been in that neighborhood many times. Lots of fun.

[@iphoneographers]

Galveston FTW! :) Thanks for watching.

[@IvansPersonal]

I watched the ads without skipping as a form of support. Very nice review. Thank you. By the way, "Zhiyun" is pronounced "chi yoon" 😀.

[@iphoneographers]

Thanks for watching! And yeah, Zhiyun gets pronounced differently everywhere it seems. :)

[@mdturnerinoz]

I don't "selfie" but I bought one just for the specialty shots. Thanks for the review! BTW I too HATE the registration business; add DJI and Hohem to this list if I am not mistaken.

[@iphoneographers]

You are correct, they both make you register now! Ugh. It’s all for data collection which I guess is the world we live in now. But pretty crazy to me that a gimbal you buy won’t work until you “activate” it.

[@MrDreyes426]

Galveston TX!!!! Love it!!

[@DIY_Dad_83]

Great vid! Also...Pirates Beach? We have a place there and some spots looked very familiar 😁

[@iphoneographers]

Yep! Fun spot.

[@amineamin1785]

Hello ,great video ,but i have a question : did you use the gimbal in house tour ? If you use the gimbal can you explain to us how you make the video , thank you i hope you understand my question ,and sorry for my English 😊

[@iphoneographers]

Yes I just did a walk through and then added speed ramps and some transitions to make it flow. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

[@MobileFilmmaking]

I'm glad you did this video as I was curious about the need for a 2 axis gimbal. After seeing this, I don't really see a need for this when you can get a MOZA Mini S for about the same price and have 3 axis stabalization.

[@iphoneographers]

Yeah it’s really about the selfie stick, which tbh is kind of cool. But not a great overall gimbal imo.

[@BillHutchensFilms]

Blake did you ever do the follow up video on the crane m2? I am looking for a gimbal that can handle heavy phones, case and heavy lenses with weights. So I was curious how things went, but I couldn't find any follow up video. Some people love it, but balancing (as you experienced) seems to be painful...

[@BillHutchensFilms]

Without weights I mean

[@iphoneographers]

Never did a full follow-up, but have shown it and mentioned it in other videos. Not my favorite gimbal tbh, especially for smartphones (since the setups are top heavy). For smaller compact cameras or mirrorless its good though. If you like Zhiyun then it’s a solid option, but the FeiyuTech G6 Max is probably better and a recent favorite in this category. Also like the Moza Mini-P. Have all my gimbal vids in once place now if you want to check them out... bit.ly/GimbalBuyersGuide

[@berryoaks]

Great vid...again. Question? Why the negative comment about the Movi? Just curious.

[@iphoneographers]

No negative Movi comments here. Guessing you misunderstood something. That’s probably the best smartphone gimbal there is... minus the ultra wide lens use. Love that gimbal! Thanks for watching.

[@drivingkorea8221]

love your videos keep it up 👍👍

[@iphoneographers]

Thanks!

[@andrehall6432]

Can you do a breakdown of Apple's new short Vertical Cinema?

[@iphoneographers]

Was actually just thinking about doing that! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@giolares2141]

Did you use filmic pro? On Log? Or native camera? Great content! New subscriber! 👍

[@iphoneographers]

Filmic Pro. Pretty much all I use. :) Thanks for watching and the sub!

[@DieTabbi]

Great Video. Do you think I can use it with my action cam too? (similar to a gopro) I search a Gimbal with which I can use my phone and my action cam and yeas removable battery ;-)

[@iphoneographers]

It’ll definitely hold it but you might need to figure out the best rigging solution.

[@toxicmoldmedia]

couldnt hear what you said.. what kind of filter is that over the camera lens?

[@iphoneographers]

VND filter... Variable neutral density. This one from PolarPro. Link for it in the video description. Thanks for watching!

[@mohdizuanmy]

Hi, are you recording the video with the apps or your normal phone video?

[@iphoneographers]

Filmic Pro app here

[@Firas_-kk6eu]

Hi.I,m yesterday Buy smooth x and today she was coming out with a red light did not work.please help me.

[@NovakTech-Studios]

You need Cam aplication

[@NovakTech-Studios]

Its on 9:30

[@Firas_-kk6eu]

@@NovakTech-Studios ok think you

[@chaaadli]

Nice bro 🇲🇦🇲🇦❤

[@donutboy9576]

0:30 AHAHAHAHAHA

[@ItsfreakyDB]

The battery is great! Your phone is to heavy and therefore the battery drains to fast.

[@iphoneographers]

Yeah that may be true, however, Zhiyun states it’s best runtime is 5.5 hours. Most gimbals will do almost twice that. It’s got a small battery because it’s such a small gimbal.

[@ItsfreakyDB]

iPhoneographers thanks for your reply:) yeah you are right. But for the price? I paid 59 euros=70 dollar (one day offer) I think nobody can beat them:) good review
