thanks for all your comments, and you're right, when shooting this review I thought it was my phone which was causing problems, but apparently it's the android app, and lots of you are having same problems. So, as I'm still experiencing some of those, be aware of that, if you have an android phone, it may cause you problems!
well done for highlighting the crappy android app.
Zhiyun and Flimic Pro have just released a Android app with integration of the Smooth 4 into the app. Definitely kicks it a notch and bypasses the issues with the Zhiyun app. Although to be fair Zhiyun is new and improving the ZY Play app lately in the Play Store.
Is there still a prob with the app using android phone. Thinking of buying a used one. Thank you.
@@CarlosSantos-jw7bb Same. I wanna know too. Or even if Filmic Pro works well, i don't mind investing in it too.
@@CarlosSantos-jw7bb I just received mine yesterday and so far I'm liking it. I have not really dug that deep into its use yet.
Be careful about the volume differences in your video. I almost got deaf when the music came on. It's bad.
I’ve sent mine back. I was getting very jerky video & sometimes the recording would stop unexpectedly. So disappointed as I wanted this for an upcoming trip to Italy. Going to stick to my Sony AX53 Camcorder. Nice idea though.
Yay, someone is doing tests on an Android device and not just iPhones 👍
That's good because the Android app seems to have way more problems than the iPhone one.
Any chance of doing some tests of the (motion)timelapse / hyperlapse functions in the app?
The problem is, the Iphone is now industry standard, therefore, companies are making their technology to interface with Iphones, not androids. Iphones have better-operating systems and are a much better product. By the way, this is coming from a former android user. If you want future tech that you're purchasing to operate the best, you'd better purchase an Iphone because the industries do not care about android. Additionally, even the best android phones out there now are copies of the Iphone operating systems. To prove this, I suggest you look at this link.gizmodo.com/samsung-forced-to-pay-apple-539-million-for-violating-1826323484

@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry I understand but they are missing the bigger picture when they do that as most smartphone users aren't iPhone users. They have made it industry standard out of choice and they're loosing money by doing so. A few years ago it was blackberry now it's iPhone and yet Android accounts for the Lions share of smartphone users.
@@AnuragSharma-rq2tp lol! Most excellent!
@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry stop trying to support a company rapidly losing market share
I just ordered one of these. Do they make an adapter for use with a gopro?
Hi, like the review, a good start as I’ve just unpacked it. Does it have a 180 degr. snap-around-film-my-face-for-a-sec function?
Can a lav mic plug into the phone still when using the gimbal or can it plug into the gimbal?
Do you have to download the app? Or can you just film with the standard camera app?
My Smooth 4 focus/zoom wheel works pulling forward but now backward on the focus setting. Some reason it works on the zoom setting however, any ideas how to fix? I noticed @ 12:30 in your video you can move it both directions.
Thank you! Just got one of these for work and this was so helpful.
Super helpful video, I used to wonder how do I make the gimbal face up, after watching this, I know everything. Nice work 👍
can i connect with iphone 8?. which app for download?
i just test shoot today with smooth4! fully satisfied! its going well with my iphone se 👍🏼
Can you film yourself?
how's the zooming feature is it smooth on android? and 1080 60fps and 4k is it working?
Hey man great job after watching this review I’ll definitely stand behind our product keep them coming
thanks :)
Is there a way to make the image more flat for color grading? And no focus peaking?
Would disabling battery optimizations for that app help with it crashing?
Hello there, my biggest issue with gimbals is that it's very difficult to use an external microphone and, even if you succeed in mounting one onto the gimbal body with a ring or something similar, it will be in a fixed position, only pointing in one direction, not rotating, panning, etc. along with the phone. So: have you found a way around this problem? I own a brand news Rode Videomic Me and I'd love to use it on my S7 edge even when this is mounted on a gimble (which I still have to buy): any ideas? Cheers!
I am experiencing a 30sec record limit while using the ZY Play app..anyone know of a fix to this?
nice review, can you make one how to get the video from the smoth 4 in to the iphone so it can be up loaded on to a mac?cheers
Are there any good carrybags for gimbals or do you have to bring that box with you? Like would it be too delicate to carry in my backpack?
How do you use your microphone and that at the same time???
Does the app let you do 4K 60 FPS on a iPhone XS Max? And is it good?
Just got one! I’m a vlog/video newbie so I have a lot to learn.. but I’m willing to stick it out and play with it and figure it out. I eventually want to start a UA-cam channel and use my Gimbal..
I have an iPhone XS!
Hey Brad how you been getting on with it?
merlinman44 I recently moved and haven’t even messed with it since this virus junk (im immunocompromised) i need to get it back out and start learning it again..
@@brad1916 no problem Brad thanks for the reply keep well
I have LG V30 Plus phone, heard this Gimble has focus issues with Android phones, please suggest if this will work fine with my phone and also suggest if it has good focus tracking. Thanks.
Hi mate,
Good review, i have recently purchased of the same model and my main concern is when it is tilted side ways almost the phone hitting the frame and it vibrates madly.
Is it normal?
good review. can you do a comparison of the :Smooth Q3 vs Smooth Q4 please? I already currently own the Smooth Q3 but wondering if I should upgrade to the newest model. I'm a beginner film maker but overall I need to go stabilize my footage...
The Smooth 4 is now compatible with FiLMiC Pro! This is a HUGE upgrade for this gimbal. I have tried both the Smooth 4 and the DJI Osmo 2 and prefer the Smooth 4 1000%. My Osmo just sits in a box, hoping it will be used someday if anyone is interested.
Chris Babb so how do u find it?
Hello i just wanna ask you if there is selfie mood or no ?
Just got this a couple of days ago. Still learning to use and this video was really helpful. Thanks!
thank u ! have fun :)
I have order one im worried by the reviews i need someone who has experienced already
Bro, what mic are you using? Please I really need to know.
Hi. Will that hold gopro?
My problem is the quality of the exported videos from the original zhiyun app, do you have any experience?
I bought my first gimbal a couple of weeks ago and now wish to get a small mini tripod, to hold it, say on a table top.
Which would you recommend please ?
You always see gimbals mounted on wee, small plastic tripods .. but are these the best bet.
thank you
Can it carry with a case on an iphone 6?
Thank you very much for making this video. Mine came directly from China without any instructions. Looks like yours also came without instructions! That tells me they care more about moving the product and they do about helping their customers use it well. I'm going to give it a try but I don't like having to figure out everything on my own, as simple as it may seem. One wrong move and you could break things like this.
You're right!
Passa a italiano
Hello nice review ... I wanted to ask you if the dedicated app works well with android phones and specifically with the huawei p10. Thank you for your answer.
Were you able to use the front camera using the app.??
You didn’t mention how well it transitions to portrait mode for stories. Is it a smooth transition or does it take some adjustments?
Would it work on the newly launched Mate 20 X?
Can you take selfies with the forward facing camera?
Is this gimble rechargeable or do we have to buy it's own batteries..?
does anybody know if this works with Filmic Pro on iphone?
Does this work with a phone case?
Nice vid thank you, Can theses work with the samsung note 9+ do you know.
does it have a selfie mode?
I am planning to buy a Zhiyun smooth 4 to use with my LG V10 phone. Internet says this phone weighs 195g where the maximum working load for the Zhiun smooth 4 is around 210g. Would this phone work along with this gimbal safely? Is there a possibility of motor damage? Is there any better option with slightly more capable to handle this bulky phone within this price range? Look forward to finding a good solution. Help appreciated.
this is very informative, thank you for introducing me on this zhiyun smooth 4!
Can you think of a reason why my phone screen looks different when I connect to the app? I am using an iPhone 8. I have icons vertically stacked on the left and right of the screen.
it is because the phone turned
Hello, can you tell me if you prefer the Smooth 4 to the Smove Mobile gimbal? Thank you for the awesome reviews... Bryan.
Please suggest me best gimbal for mobile to make vlog should I need to purchase smooth 4 or DJI 2 .
Or I need to purchase professional camera .
Please suggest me the best .
Thanks waiting for reply
Great informative review really enjoyed it 👍 I would like to see a comparison with the Moza mini S if you haven't already done one 😀
Hi
Thanks for your effort
I bought smooth 4
How can i make it stable before i turn it on
Is there an automatic installation (stabilization)in zy application as is available in the application of osmo mobile?
Thank
Thanks for sharing!! Really helped
I got my Smooth 4 today and am having an extremely difficult time calibrating this thing! The horizon is never level, it is always lower on the right hand side despite having properly installed my iPhone X. The calibration tools instructions are so bad that I have spent over an hour trying to calibrate and it is not working. Is there any step by step video instructional on how to properly complete the calibration?! I am so frustrated that I can't get this to work that I may be obligated to return it soon if I can't get any help with this.
Daniel R. I have the same issue with horizon with my iPhone X i will returned replacing by Moza Mini Mi is way better
I think the X is too heavy due to the dual glass maybe?
Nice vid.
Can I use it with the native camera app on the phone?
thx! yes of course!
Hi there I know this is an old video but I need a new gimbal when I started I bought a real cheap one so do u recommend this one or the dji one. This one I like cause u can add a mic to it. I saw it online for $125 with the mic. So I think it's a good deal the dji alone is like $135. I don't know if u used both. I really need someone who knows about them to go me a lil advice which to buy? I hvthe money. I just need it for a cell phone. I HV a go pro 4 and a Panasonic call corder to.
Can I use this with the Galaxy S7. Will it track?
Can I add a microphone to this? I have iphonex but microphone would be attached to the charging port that holds the iPhone. Would that affect the stabilization of smooth 4?
Elaine Bragin I recommend this microphone.

What resolution and frame rate were u recording on ?
Can we do Time lapse video in portrait mode with ZY Play app in android?
What kind of lapel are you using.. i just bought this gimbal haven't tried it yet. Your video really helps. I am a samsung user too
do a comparison between zyune smooth 4 vs dji osmo mobile 2 please.
7:29 isn't portrait mode, it is sleep mode if you need to make a call or something and it turns off the motors. Portrait orientation is done by tilting the gimbal a certain way horizontally until it noticed and flips the phone.
How do you rate this smooth 4 against the Movi Cinematic Robot
Hey WetalkUAV, can you tell us what mic (wireless) system you used to film this video, and also the "deadcat" you had over it. We are looking for a base wireless system for interviews in a travel show. Thanks again!
The deadcat is a cheap one from Amazon. The mic is Sennheiser EW 112-P G3
Great video! Were the short clips at 16:45 shot on your phone?
I am using S8+ with a very light case.... But many a times the gimbal motors just put the phone down.... In that case I have to turn off the gimbal and then turn it on for making the gimbal take its usual posture of shooting.... Any help in this? Why does the gimbal motors goes down automatically... Is it the weight of the phone? I don't think S8+ with a light cover would be heavy enough for it.... Please help... Thanks in advance
Good shot! The smooth 4 is the latest version for XHIYUN? And I know that these smooth 2 > smooth c > smooth q > smooth 3 are outdated, Wanna buy the smooth 4, am I correct? Thank you ^^
How is the track subject mode? Did it follow you?
it's not so good
Can someone please tell me how to use the front camera and tracking myself or rear camera for selfie mode. Samsung s8+
I had a hunch at the beginning of the video that the gimbal was going to be seen onscreen. The camera on the back of the phone is close to center.
I'd like to know if you've tested the Smooth 4 in SELFIE mode? How does it work with tracking your face as you walk, run or do other active tasks and record selfies for the blog, etc..?
Hi
It’s the first time that I will purchase a gimbal,
I really like the smooth 4
How does the smooth 4 compare to the feiyutech SG and which one works best with an android phone and also takes a go pro hero 5/6?
Steven Miller smooth4 i's not working correctly on android phone, due to a buggy software... check users reviews on android play store and compare them
Call me crazy, but I decided to buy this gimbal about a week ago despite many of the android functions reported as not working. My phone is a Huawei Mate 9. Many of the functions are still not working, but was pleased to find some reported earlier are now working. Example, switching video resolutions, including 4K; firmware update from phone. Pano still not working, zoom is not smooth. For me, most of the stuff I see myself using are working. One problem I'm still working on is ground-level shots - if I point the gimbal down the phone bracket hits part of the frame.
How do you use this for Facebook live. Or Instagram Live. I can’t get mine to work in Pro Mode
Mike Handke same
Is it better than Vilta M Pro?
they way you move your gimbal is not right or the framerates of the video it hurts to the eye
Have you done a video about how to record good audio while using the gimbal? I normally use a rode mic me or a lapel mic but those aren't usable with the gimbal...
Aijeleth Walker how are they unusable with a gimbal? I've watched videos of people who have successfully installed mics on the smooth 4. I'm waiting for my shock mount to arrive.
Good honest review as always, Regards.
thanks :)
what brand is your sunglass?
Very good informative video, helped me thanks
My zhiyun smooth 4 has over heating problem. Can someone tell me how can i fix it?
how's the battery life?
It is working on vivo phone??
My friend told me it is unable to balance iPhone XS Max.the maximum payload of Smooth 4 is 210g, and an iPhone XS max weights 7.34 oz, which is 208g. Adding any counterweight will exceed the maximum payload.
vinnie li that’s true
Hi. what zhiyun is ideal for fujifilm xt20 with kit lens 18-55 ?
Crane v2
Please help me, should i get this or the Smooth Q ? i wanna use it for Smartphones and also for my GoPro 4. Thanks
Moncef Ben smooth Q is better for GoPro 360 rotation
vilta m is a great choice for you

I was thinking of getting one. I currently have an iPhone 7plus with a rugged case . Would I be pushing the weight and size limits? Thank you, great video!
iphone 7plus's weight and size compatible with smooth 4 but you need to take off the rugged case
You could buy a counter weight that solves any issues you may have
is the object tracking issue fixed already?
No man, i just got mine like a week ago and using it with an android, unlike the gimbal, the software is trash. Filmic pro is way better.
Does it work with Xiaomi Mi note 10??
Can i use it with snap chats video?
Or only to use its own program
Please answer me
it is not able to follow on my iPhone, also it can't switch from selfie to normal when recording....
How to flip
The camera
Is that an android phone ? How on earth did you got it to film with 60pfs ? I only have 720p 1080p and 4k 30fps ? And i am also missing the longexposure and multiexposure options. Also missing the option to turn off the screen while shooting timelapse videos ? what am i missing here ?I am using Note 10+
Why won't the image flip in selfie mode? All the writing is backwards
Is it capable in any phone?
