For the money the Q3 is the best bang for your dollar. This one is nice if you need to record yourself from a distance with the extension arm if you are still into that kind of thing. Too bad it extends at an angle, it won't let you stand it up on the legs while it is extended. Now that would have been actually useful!

[@MicroFourNerds]

I think the fold is the killer feature. If you are filming on a phone you value a small setup, so this is great imo!

[@katherinepetrova1976]

In fact many times I really need a B camera to complete video of behind the scenes, thank you for giving me such good advice, it can be done entirely with a phone stabilizer.

[@thenunes]

Qual é o melhor modo para VLOGS? Usando a câmera nativa é bem melhor?

[@OpenFilmmaker]

Michael Jackson in his grave: Smooth Q4 **AAAAOWWWWW** (grabs his... gimbal...)

[@SidneyDiongzon]

🤣

[@davewingler2934]

Does this work with a 12 pro max with added sandmarc lenses? I couldn’t find any documentation on compatibility.

[@zhiyunsupportglobal706]

Hello Dave. Smooth Q4 can support iphone 12 pro max.

[@Jasonyhlee]

is there a way to manually calibrate this gimbal?

[@badmintonfocus]

Hey bro, how's it compared with the Q3? Q3 is more affordable, is the Q4 worth the difference?

[@zhiyunsupportglobal706]

Smooth Q4 has an extension rod to achieve more angles.

[@lighthousephoto7143]

I still prefer my old OM3 to every other gimbal. I even bought a spare one.

[@PaulFeinberg]

Smart phone gimbals….cool features but barely need one. Still an interesting video. Zhiyun smooth criminal lol 😂magnets are pretty cool and very creative for the light. Always wanted to go to New York, great shots.

[@windlena4673]

Thank you very much for your review, I am struggling to buy smooth q4 or om 5, I hope you can make a comparison video, thank you in advance.

[@AOJOPhotography]

Will this work with a Smallrig case on your iPhone 13pro?

[@zhiyunsupportglobal706]

It probably cannot work

[@AJKCChannel]

Which one do you prefer, om5 or zhiyun q4?

[@BenjaminCutting]

Looks great 🙌🏻

[@tammyleisching6899]

Can anyone tell me how long this extension rod is? Not sure if the length of this extension rod can take the full selfie picture I want

[@zhiyunsupportglobal706]

215mm

[@elizabethszewczuk7154]

Hi, nice new innnovation for the cie that would also be welcomed likewise for their other models that supports DSLR, because until today they are still confusing and are taking too much time to balance.

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

That looks cool but it also looks like a rip off of the DJI one

[@tukirahamed]

Awesome video, Mate. I have some questions. Does this gimbal work flawlessly with the filmic pro app? Does it work fine with an Android phone? How does the android zhiyun app perform?

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Yes it does! Not sure if you can use the record button in the Filmic Pro app thought. Just use the Zhiyun Cami app and explore the features!

[@worldchampion]

Very good video

[@realomarmokhtar]

Can we get a comparison video Smooth Q4 and the OM5?

[@RAMORNvlog]

wow done bro thank i like yr video .

[@danymaggiolo]

Hi, is it ok for an iPhone 12 Pro Max with cover ? Thank U

[@ultimatejy9393]

Can the light attached when the phone is in portrait ?

[@hebehe462]

it can.

[@Shellda]

I have the DJI one and its suchhhhhhh a PITA the use.

[@MatthewVlossak]

Which DJI model do you have and what don’t you like about it!.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Notifications gang checking in, this thing looks tiny 👀

[@jasonsue3932]

Just curious...how does the led light charge? Haven't seen it shown in any review of the q4 yet.

[@zhiyunsupportglobal706]

The four indicator lights on the gimbal stay on in green when charging is complete.

[@Rainond]

The light when is vertical is completely useless, the phone hits the mic adapter constantly,

[@vsmochent]

Perfect for a vlog! 👌 But why 3 clicks, what if it might be click accidentally 4 clicks? Hahaha!

[@ratfinder7812]

Serious, I went to your link to purchase this and it said 1-2 months... Must be coming from China, good luck getting it delivered

[@gracxx162]

whats the max payload?

[@pan1982ster]

I just bought Q4 in lock mode it doesn’t get locked and also joystick doesn’t respond on moving it to right side. Disappointed

[@andandonomundo.7548]

I just buy one too and I have the same problem.

[@HellenLee-yz2oj]
