ZHIYUN Smooth Q4 Combo [Official] 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphones with 215mm Extenable Rod, Magnetic Fill Light, Ideal for Vlog YouTube TikTok Instagram Live Video, for Android and iPhone

Lightweight, Sturdy and Easy to Use
This was my 1st gimbal, so I am loving it by so far. I have Samsung S22 Ultra, it’s well within the weight limit of the gimbal, but yes, sometimes I do face issue with the orientation – maybe because it is larger in dimensions. But that I can manage with few adjustments.Rest I am learning to use all the features available with the app, before I embark on my Euro trip later this summer 🙂 – The best thing of the product is the option to select mode from the gimbal itself! – That makes it so ergonomic and that’s the selling point, I believe, for this product lineup.

It does what it wants, not what I want:
After a few minutes, the gimbal has a mind of it’s own, pointing in whatever direction it wants.So annoying 😡I will return this ASAP

Very good with some problems
Combo package, used with Huawei P30 Pro with Spigen Slim Armor Case.This is my first phone gimbal, so not an expert on the topic, but here it goes:I’ve used the gimbal for a month with the firmware version 1.79. While writing this, 1.80 update came, updated it, and the ZY Cami app again told me the same update, I did it again, once again completed successfully, then it asked me again, and I gave up.In general, I liked this device, high quality materials, good construction and good button / led interface that helps you to command the device without using the phone screen a lot. The led light (in combo package) is also useful, powerful, well thought. Since it is magnetic, you can attach it both ways, meaning you can use it for forward facing cameras or the selfie cameras.Pros:- Sturdy, feels good at hand, good grip.- Very nice to have switch between almost all modes from the gimbal and understand clearly in which mode we are in.- Good stabilization.- Very silent motors.- Nice to be able to switch between front and back camera (3 clicks on record) and between video and photo (2 clicks on record) in ZY cami app. Also between landscape and portrait (3 clicks on trigger, independent from app)- Standby mode is useful to keep the connection on but disabling the gimbal motors. There are two ways to do this, press and hold mode button, or rotate the roll or tilt axis to lock position.- The extendible rod is useful and feels sturdy. (Though it is not as long as a selfie stick but that’s normal)Cons:- Only connects and works with ZY Cami App. Doesn’t connect with StaCam app. Also FilmicPro app doesn’t respond to gimbal buttons even though it connects to the gimbal. This is a semi deal breaker for me.- Huawei P30 Pro with Spigen Slim Armor Case (not a very thick case) does not fully fit. If I balance it so that the bottom doesn’t hit the gimbal, top edges hit it. This is another semi deal breaker for me.- The top side of joystick button seems to work not that good. While the other sides (left, right, down) are responsive, the up needs a firmer push.- The lock – tracking feature is very unreliable. While using the front camera, if you track your face (draw green square around your face) it tracks you for a while, if you move your face quickly out of the screen, it looses track. The interesting part is that when you move your face back in to the screen, the green square continues to track your face but the gimbal does not move any more…- ZY Cami panorama feature is completely broken.- ZY Cami Dolly zoom is gimmick and quite bad.- ZY Cami can’t use ultra wide camera of P30 Pro.- ZY Cami app video recording doesn’t have pause option.- I wish the grip was wider, because with these narrow grips it is easy to place the phone misaligned. What I mean is that, even if the gimbal perfectly levels itself with the horizon, if the phone isn’t perfectly placed (which is quite possible because of the narrow grip) then all shots will be unlevel with the horizon. (more on this below)- After attaching and positioning the phone carefully in to the clamp, as balanced and parallel as possible (it is not easy as the phone doesn’t fully fit) there is no way to quickly detach the phone while keeping the positioning, then reattaching back without any positioning. The obvious answer to this is the magnetic clamp. This is the third semi deal breaker for me.—So; 3 x semi deal breakers >= 1 x full deal breaker. That’s why I’ll probably return this unit.— I’ve ended up keeping the product. Will continue to use.Suggestions to ZHIYUN for the future ZHIYUN Smooth Q5 :- Definitely switch to magnetic clamp. This way once the phone is positioned in the clamp, it can be quickly detached and reattached to the gimbal. Think of people who needs to shoot with their phone, then use it for something else, (like talking) that is not comfortably possible while it is attached to the gimbal, and then continue shooting. So detach, then attach back, then detach again then attach again… this should be doable quickly (with perfectly positioned and balanced phone position)- The arm that connects to the clamp (from tilt motor to roll motor) should be at least 2 cm longer. Currently it is ~9cm- Have one side of the clamp to be much wider. So that it would be easier to place the phone perfectly parallel to the clamp. With narrow clamps, phone can be placed in the clamp with an angle, then all the recordings would be slightly rotated (in the roll axis). I know that there is the problem of covering and pressing the side buttons of the phone with clamp, and therefore narrow clamps are preferred, but these buttons are generally on one side of the phone. With an asymmetric design that has just one clamp long and also with the magnetic connection that allows attaching it also flipped (so that it is possible to choose which side of the phone, long clamp comes) this would be a perfect solution.- Maybe a second Bluetooth mode for the whole gimbal. For example if I turn on the gimbal while pressing the mode button, it turns on in the second mode. In this mode the gimbal will connect to the phone as a Bluetooth keyboard input device, just like wireless selfie sticks work. This way record button would send volume down command, which is used as record, photo shoot button in many phones native camera app.

that zhiyun q4 works very well.
I like the zhiyun Q4 for video stabilizationand photos.

Sou produtor de vídeos educativos e achei o produto excelente. No início, tive a impressão de que ele apresentava um defeito, mas descobri que era uma questão de atualização de firmware, que, uma vez realizada, resolveu o problema rapidamente. Apenas sugiro uma apresentação mais agradável para o manual. O design do produto é muito bonito e, até o momento, na fase de testes, está funcionando perfeitamente.

Habe es meinen Mann geschenkt. Er ist sehr zufrieden. Kann es empfehlen. 👍 Preis/Leistung top.
