STEP UP Your SMARTPHONE Cinematic Videos - ZHIYUN SMOOTH X

[@newsshooter2]

Man, I gotta tell you, you are so talented with your shooting knowledge. I shot TV news for 20+ years, but you are the bomb, hands down. I'm learning so much from you concerning "creative" shooting, something i didn't get to do often shooting news, as news can't look all glitzy and glamorous, it has to be matter of fact. Unlike many others who make tutorials who talk too much and take forever to make their point, you are very relaxed in your presentation, easy in your mannerisms and you get to the point without excessive talking. That is a HUGE plus for the student when trying to grasp valuable information. If I were to win the gimbal I would add it a valuable tool for the video I'm making for my wife. I have stage 4 lung cancer and I'm attempting to make a special video that my wife will be able to enjoy after I'm not around anymore. I'm trying to capture little things that she and I do together, places we go and conversations we have... something she'll cherish for the rest of her life.. Anyway, keep teaching us, and thank you for helping us up our game.

[@seankitching]

Let me know what you guys would use this gimbal for and I will pick someone and send them a brand new one! Make sure you follow Zhiyun Tech on Instagram and KZbin!

[@hamiltonjimenez2269]

You’re an absolute legend sean! You’re advice is always epic. Definitely have gotten better by watching your videos! Thanks for the stunning tips! This gimbal looks essential!

[@xxclickingxxone-man-army632]

I just got the Zhiyun Smooth 4 today. Took it to a Castle with my family for my daughters 6th birthday. She loved getting involved and helped record some cool b-roll. Only just got home and found your video straight away.

[@2TOTGA]

🙏🏼Thank you, Sean, for sharing this with us solo travelers. This is exactly what I’ve been looking to manifest: two axis, extended stick, tripod, tracking mode, $59 + your unique tips. Planning to use this little gem to capture my POV with the purpose of trying to bring more, share more, of this world’s magnificent beauty all around us, just as you do here. You are appreciated my friend. Mahalo Sean 🌺

[@agizghazli3199]

Am planning to take my 77th years old mom to Penang for vacation at Maritime Suite this August 2020. Just to chill and enjoy staying in a beautiful airbnb and taking amazing B roll footage (just learn how tonight). I want her to have that feeling of a vacation since none after my father's past away in 2017. Hope anyone who read this, will smile and do the same to their parent, for making them happy.

[@claudianaomirodrigue]

Thanks Sean! Always waiting for your next video. Love your tips. Different and valuable. Since I followed you I have been filming my little puppy Louie! We love to hike together! Shooting his adventures and creating stories are my passion! So inspired by you! Thanks for the amazing content!

[@noabergmans7566]

I am a beginning film student who loves to play around with equipment from school. I am saving money to buy my first equipment. I live in the Netherlands but I will go to Norway in a few months to go to a film academy which is amazing. I would use this to film amazing shots of my adventures there and to practice because I want nothing else than improving myself and ofcourse creating amazing content. 📽🌲

[@naominunis]

Roses 🌹 are red, Violets are blue, having a Gimble allows me to show great stories on KZbin thanks to you and Zhiyun too.

[@LinnRivers]

I am highly enjoying your videos! I am currently making a documentary about overcoming trauma on many different levels and this would be an amazing little tool to have when I am out and about and may find something interesting to shoot without having any of my other equipment! Thanks again for what you do. I really appreciate you.

[@tonytechdesign]

Just had one of my closes cousins pass away 3 days ago. RIP to Brother Marlon! He was my best friend when we were working for 7 years in Saudi Arabia. We often keep ourselves fit during those days and we never had a video of us enjoying doing our free squats out in the desert. So was planning to make a video dedicated to him and post it on his FB page which im sure will run forever. I thinking of a 100 rep with a 30-40 lbs kettlebell full squat filmed by myself in an empty basketball court in the park. Love your tips and tricks! Thank you for sharing your passion! Will be waiting for the announcement! Yahoo!

[@InnerCoreAri]

Hey friend! Would you do an export settings for KZbin video? 1080p and 4K?

[@EntreFilhoseViagens]

Hey man, export on CBR 80 to 100 for youtube, very large file but good quality even on go pro. Hope this helps ya :)

[@kentivanurbiztondo]

This could be my first gimbal. A great way to start my videography. Thanks for your tips👍

[@RICH_Photography]

Here for the gimbal but more importantly the support bro!!! 99k subs. Let’s get that tick over to 100K! 🔥

[@omtandel7765]

Beach broll shooting was amazing, looking forward for more mobile filmmaking.😄✌️

[@Carrielavonne]

First and foremost, I love and appreciated your videos. So many great tips and tricks, so Thank you!!! I can totally see where adding a gimbal to your gear can make a huge inprovement! After years of talking myself out of enrolling in school, I start my photography classes next month! So excited 😁 Ready to step up my photography game!

[@michaelormondroyd9567]

Hi, that’s pretty neat and simple enough for an oldie like me. I would use it to film my grandkids, pesky little things but wouldn’t be without them. Thanks Mike

[@nolsks3794]

I am 18 years old and when I start filming. I just realized one thing. FILMING IS A WAY TO CONNECT TO PEOPLE'S LIVES. By making videos out of your creativity. You tend to portray people's way of living on how they live their everyday lives. And by filming, you can document it every single day. Until you achieve the point wherein you can see the difference of your life today from your life in the past. I am Kenneth Kyle Taer from Philippines🇵🇭 and I wanna be a filmmaker and be a documentarist. I am just using my smartphone to shoot and I can make documentaries out of it. But creating stories isn't all about static movements. I also like to have motion shots to portray the story and reflect to people's lives more. Thank you. 😊

[@LePooke]

this seems like the perfect size with neat features. My baby is starting to be mobile, and he's inspired me to start taking pictures and I definitely want to take better videos of him as well.

[@aprilrodriguez9554]

Awesome vid! I’m a school teacher and beginner videographer. With all the distance learning, I’ve been been asked to step into a role of creating content of our middle school and fine arts departments. This would be an amazing help! I could put it in my teacher bag and be ready to go whenever I’m ask to record something.

[@collinphelan9915]

This gimbal would totally help me film really sick B-roll to go along my performances!😁😁😊

[@kevinmoyse3128]

Hi Sean I would totally give this gimbal a go with trying to start a regular vlog series!

[@bonkerbois23]

hi I am from India....I started a new youtube channel....and I really don't have money to buy all those things.i make videos with my phone and I don't have any camera stan….and yeah I learned a lots of things from your video....love u bro

[@brathan8326]

As I still can’t travel I would probably just trying to get some cool shots of my hometown. I found a lot beautiful places here during quarantine...

[@matilda1744]

Wow, this is literally what I need. I’m trying to film a short summer b roll and this would help a lot

[@RhinoJoeOutdoors]

I would film my kids to document their childhood. I would also use it to capture my KZbin content where I want to inspire others to get outside and do something awesome!

[@jacksheehan2308]

Love the tutorials man🤙🏻 id use the gimbal to help me record the trips I want to go on when the world opens up again 👌🏻

[@Newyorkhoje]

What a great stabilizer! Good price and the extended arm is very handy. I need it!

[@katemackay7639]

Totally had my eye on this. I would use it to upgrade the quality of videos I take out with friends and family. Love your channel. Your lone filming techniques have helped me massively 👍

[@dmcgifford]

Can’t get enough of your vids bro! If I won this awesome little gadget I would use it to capture all the beauty of the Kootenays where I live in BC Canada! If you’re ever in this neck of the woods, look me up, I’d love to take you around and explore the Rockies!

[@ParlayPlunder]

Love it! Would love to use it on my 5 day trip down to the Texas Gulf Coast!

[@johnhambyphotography]

That looks like just what I need. I like it.

[@theflippintoothfairyjackie5702]

Hello Sean, I’ve been watching all your videos and have learned so much! thank you! Being a newer filmmaker at my age of 67 in my retirement years has been so fulfilling ..I love your style of capturing the unique videos..took my tripod out yesterday and used as a selfie stick to capture low videos of walking, used as a drone for captures and my reveal videos turned out fabulously well. So thank you for your expertise and your visions of what creates that fun movie to watch. You’re explanations of feeling and mood has helped me tremendously in filmmaking. Because I have the iPhone 11 promax I have been watching many reviews for different Gimbals...what I’ve been seeing is due to the weight of my iPhone many smartphone gimbals can’t balance the weight properly for my phone type.. are you finding that to be true? I’m still researching which Gimbal if any would work best. Thanks again for all your tutorials on creating amazing films to enjoy! Please keep them coming, and as I share them in my photography group 👍 My Best to you and Hannah

[@MISTERXBANKS]

Ah this would be epic for those unplanned local missions, down to the Harbour, or a quick trip around the coast. With the power of phone cameras these days, this would be a super nifty accessory to have. ✌🏻⚡

[@GeevargheseKollannur]

Looks awesome... I love Zhiyun!

[@nmsalas21]

This is so awesome! My schedule doesn’t always align with my friend’s so I’d have to go solo for most of my adventures and having this gimbal would definitely help make videos look 2x as smooth 😎 stay cool and thanks for sharing your knowledge Sean!!

[@nonsonwaukwa1274]

This gimbal is so amazing and it’d help me make amazing B rolls of nature and models too

[@arisamari]

I would totally use this gimbal for my vlog! I learned so much from your channel yet I have not bought a gimbal for camera! Can not wait for the next video!

[@VSuarez2010]

This looks amazing!! I've been thinking of taking more videos and photos for promoting my rock/metal band and having more active social media profiles.

[@peacepantherproductions]

I might have to get this.. I’d like to start a channel or project about wildlife- But my phone footage always looks boring. Thank you for this! 🙏🏽 Also: do you recommend an editing program that can easily handle iphone and go pro ?

[@Mohd_jazeel]

Hy man nice gimbal actually... I really love to make travel cinematic videos and brolls but I dont have any good accessories to do that . But I keep doing it watching more more knowledge in youtube .

[@BrentStrition]

Sick video mate

[@giolares2141]

Hey Sean! Great video bro! Thank you and Zhiyun staff for giving away this gimbal, you make such good videos it’s insane how much I’ve learned from you. I’m a sushi chef and this gimbal would be so convenient and handy for me in order to improve my food content, most of the time I need to use my hands to roll the makis and with the gimbal Would be so much easier with the gesture control and mini tripod! Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

[@AnupBelvalkar]

I will shoot my travel videos with this... Need this 😍

[@GrendelPrime79]

I would use the gimbal to film b-roll for paintball videos. Thanks for the video because I was not aware of the software elements that allowed for solo filming.

[@gervasesadiq]

Great video 👍 I would use this to get those close up shots for B roll and use that integrated selfie stick fully extended to try and mimic smooth drone shots!

[@sjnarron]

Sean, WOW! In the pocket gimbal it is. Go everywhere, Yes, finally! I could use this for everything! Please!

[@willemvanwyk2483]

I would love the opportunity to try it out. Thanks for all the broll tips you have given us hope to see many more.

[@sanshaynsayson1997]

I would love to own one. I really am interested in film making. Thats why I instantly subscribe to your channel and start binge watching your tutorials. They were really helpful. 😁

[@AnneJutras]

Hi Sean, I was just looking for something to hold my phone, this gimbal it's perfect!

[@ardinlo88]

This looks great! Would love to shoot hiking and running videos with this

[@livingincebu]

Hey Sean, this is Gretchen, from Philippines. I was searching for KZbin videos to learn more about phone videography and videography concept itself. That is when I stumbled upon your channel. It's great to see you feature awesome videos here in Philippines and that day made me a consistent followers of yours. I have been following your trips and tricks in creating b-rolls (just learned that term in your channel) and making use of your suggestion about making use of the power of foreground. I have been doing phone videography if you check my channel for quite a while without any gimbal (also new to that gimbal) but I was so noob back then, didn't know about videography basics. If I win, I will definitely use it to continue my love for phone videography to make cinematic shots and smooth transition by using what you have taught us viewers, that it's about concepts and composition as what you have posted as well. I got iphone 11 pro max for the purpose of really using a phone for videography and that I can make it look like a pro, cinematic and smooth just like how you taught us. Really love your videos, it's always about teaching more on photography and videography. Hope you will continue to have a great journey with your lovely and sweet girlfriend Hannah (great subject always). Warm hugs to you both. Hope to see you back here in Philippines, hopefully Cebu next time. 😘🥰😍

[@cr236]

I am totally impressed by this tiny helpful gear and thank you for introducing this to us! Would love to have one for me and my child, because I am about to dive into this whole content creator thing and so he is (with 7). Btw also nice video in which you brought up advices for people like me that decided to get a content creator full time. I appreciate your mix of inspiring pictures, really good advices and all this shared by a kind person that you are. Keep going, I will join you from today! 😊

[@konukuauleki]

would be cool to try it out, to see how can it improve shooting.

[@OupaLesmoreSotoNguenha]

I would use it for my daughter when we go out to shoot. She is my model, she is 13yrs old and she loves modeling and videography. But we dont have some to film us while shooting so this would be very helpful. I need it for real.

[@MukeshDanu]

Hoping to see more of these smartphone cinematic videos. 🤟 Can't afford a camera so most of us use smartphone.

[@drwride]

I would use it on our hikes. I have a Samsung S10 and this looks like it will bump the film quality up a notch.

[@RAIYalamber]

I'd like to use this amazing tool for my travel video. It would be great addition for my upcoming trip.

[@drjoella]

Hi Sean! Just discovered you today. I’ve already gotten so much value from your video, “The Secret To Shooting Good B-roll of Yourself.” My goal is to shoot vids that keep peeps interested in Ergonomics/Injury Prevention. My videos show good biomechanics for movement and my recommendations of home office tools that keep you healthy, strong and injury-free! This is really important info to keep people out of pain, now and in the future. A lot of people don’t get it , so I have to keep them enchanted!🦋 I look forward to learning more, from your vids.🦋

[@jaxx-inspiregrowcreate2862]

Sean, you're the best man! Some of the simple tricks you've taught me have made all the difference

[@docrolandphotos2801]

Hi Sean you never fail to give out great tips/info on your channel! Thanks for the give away, it will be cool to have this tool SMOOTH X to help me improve taking photos and videos!

[@pauladc6445]

Good day Sean! I'm actually looking for a gimbal that is really easy to bring when I hike and I wanted to film cool hiking videos. Something cinematic and refreshing. I wanted to start making short films about hiking but I don't have enough budget in getting some good quality gear so I figured why not use my phone instead and as a beginner this gimbal will really help me a lot plus it looks so easy to carry around. I hope I get this one. Thank you. Oh and I love your tips about shooting good b roll man! Learning a lot from you. Have a great day!

[@bennygransden6985]

This gimbal would be perfect for my new freelance work and is great for my budget to help start

[@annemariehorne]

Hi Sean, not sure if this competition is still running, but I need to take a chance :) I live in Cape Town, SA and recently fell head over heels in love with videography! I'm super green and don't have any experience (or cool equipment yet). I have an idea to start vlogging in and around Cape Town and I'll use this gimbal to give my videos a quality boost and up my game a bit. The retracting selfie stick will really help with those wider shots and the tracking mode will be PERFECT for a solo creator like myself!!

[@riksantjan8220]

could it run with the native camera or other camera app like filmic pro?

[@shuaibmohammed5029]

Hi Sean great content! Definitely looking for a gimbal for my smartphone to improve my video quality on my smartphone as I'm busy building myself up to do videography as a career🙏

[@ehdibetter5800]

cool and very handy for shooting everyday anything goes events.

[@HighValue_Humans]

woah dude thats crazy!!! dig it

[@justapersontrying]

Holy crap this gimbal looks awesome! I've been looking for one for my smartphone so I can set up to take b-roll shots during my photoshoots so I can advertise on my facebook. I'll have to get me one of these, even if the giveaway is over!

[@epaitim]

Great looking gimbal!

[@shoreline9201]

Thank you! Your videos are very informative and illustrative. I am new to editing and posting. I use my iPhone to film and edit travel videos. This accessory would be of great help to improve the quality of my footage. I am in the US Virgin Islands.

[@RoyGregorio]

You did really show any samples of its stability.

[@pjbarber3387]

Very helpful!!

[@WasimAkram-ox5wo]

Thank you sir I am smartphone film maker you already know. I wanna shoot with this for my next project

[@volksieza]

Amazing tool for on the move use. I'd use it for the car content where smooth panning around the car is needed, cutting that bouncing step one sees with hand held cell footage. Hopefully the $59 in RSA is budget friendly

[@wvgnerr]

Def gotta get one these!

[@richard5185]

Blah blah blah...I just want it lol love your vids 100k! good luck 🙂👍

[@alexandraruoff7374]

Great Tipps 😀 i would make art Videos with this gimbal. Showing in a more cinematic way my painting Prozess.

[@jawadvlog86]

Awesome bro ✌️

[@MarkGeniston]

Hopefully I can do a video using this to put a great story of our 3 months lockdown here in the Philippines

[@ChameComoQuiser18]

Hey! I'd use the gimbal to improve my home made videos about places I've been traveling around the world. I've done a few videos using only my phone as I can't afford a camera to shoot and computer to edit my videos, so I've been doing it all with my Galaxy S8 and posting it here on my KZbin channel and Instagram also! Got a lot of useful tips with your channel since I'm a beginner, but you do help a lot! Thank you for that!

[@pritamodeblina6265]

Hey I would like to use this in my travel videos.I can't afford the costly gimbal so this would be helpful for me to shoot my travel vlogs..

[@vishwanathkavathekar4947]

Wow this product seems fantastic, I was actually looking to buy a mobile gimbal , definitely gonna look at this one now ... Will help a lot to get my footage to a new level .. I've never won any giveaway before so I'd be amazing 😂 😁😅

[@EvaAntonia1]

I would use this gimbal for my YT channel so that I can take smooth footage while blogging. I really like that you can extant it so you get more into your frame

[@rjavier15]

Very nice device! Thanks for sharing. I would hope to get one to up my videography game especially on the iPhone. Small and nearly compact, sounds effectively to use. I’m working on doing a short film documentary on my health care workers colleagues post-Covid and film those involved that were non-medical and those in a very high sub-specialty surgical area dealing with the then COVID era. I’d hope you’d consider us for the gymbal as we try to master your style of filming. All the best thank you.

[@krnloveee]

For me, using this gimbal i could really do a cinematic song video❤️ where i have planned long ago, but i have just started practicing it yesterday. Actually I do have a hard time filming it because I was just using selfie stick (which is a monopad), where it gives me a hard time doing my ‘filming myself by myself” video

[@rickwink9794]

Hi Sean! I've been loving your videos! Your tips and tricks helped me get better at making videos. I hope you keep doing you and enjoy making awesome videos for us! Would really love to win this amazing gimbal! I'm planning on stepping up the story quality for instagram and filming amazing adventures!

[@ziormintvlogs9456]

I thought it's "Zion" the way you said it. Because my Asian brain says "No its meant to be read as Zeee yooon" 🤣 | Thank you for this though I learn a lot from your videos!

[@nanawallace6180]

ZHI is pronounced as JEE (think jeep) and then yoon. JEE YOON

[@blanklife2025]

I want to use it for starting my you tube channel...🔥

[@nord7556]

This gimbal looks like a perfect gadget for me because I make instagram videos on my phone and usually the front camera is not that great. I hope I will win this. 💫

[@Gbrowx]

Can it rotate 360 degree ?

[@jollyroad18750]

I just recently started my channel.. this would be so benefit me I've baout acoouple of them cheaper ones and they didn't last long... enjoy shooting nature shots... by the way I love your channel and have learned lot..

[@AWESOMENESSCITY]

awesome so cool..if i have one of this I can use it on my next content, my videos are shaky and it would help me a lot. I only use my phone for my content, i bought an action camera but it has vignette on every corner so I prefer using my phone. I took the videos using my phone and edit it on my phone...its awesome...:') have a great day.

[@mdtonmoy5593]

I am from Bangladesh... I would like to use it❤ You contents are awesome ❤

[@johnbayer4056]

If iwere ro win the smooth X, I would use it ro make some really engaging B roll for my KZbin videos! It's clear to me that this sweet gimbal will make out fast and easy to Gerry great B roll, but also the follow mode will be killer for walking and talking clips!

[@Nelson_Mandela_]

I've never won anything before, i am saving up for a lekker trip with my girlfriend, I've been watching you throughout the lockdown and i also been practicing filmora editing can't wait to start out and try all this stuff I've learned from you. With this gimbal i can really try and make amazing content. Kenny in Limpopo ❤🤟

[@sushantbanerjee6601]

can anyone tell me which one is better smooth x or om4 if i shoot on my android mobile Which one is better?

[@oursimplestory]

Would love to have some great steady footage with the Zhiyun Smooth X chasing my kids around!!

[@thomasrodriguez581]

I would get a continuous push in shot and cut between phone footage and drone footage.

[@RaZEO]

Hi Sean, gimbal help a lot to stabilize my video footage and make our video be more cinematic. With this Smooth X by Zhiyun which is handy and more convenience for traveller or hiker bringing it to do vlogging as well as travel video. I need this!
