Hey Linus, great overview of the Gimbal. We use the DJI Osmo 2 and it stores the media on the app and you have to export it from there. Is this the same with the Q2 or does it record straight to the phone? Thanks man.
I love the Zhiyun Smooth Q2 but it would have been better if it had a normal portrait mode(so it can be put on a tripod), a stronger application like the DJI MIMO, better object tracking, it should have a tucked in roll motor (so it can be put on a tripod), a mini tripod and a carry case, a zoom rocker (which would work on the native camera application and other applications like FILMIC pro), it should have collaborated with FILMIC pro like the DJI OSMO gimbals, gesture control, it should have a phoneGo mode where the gimbal reacts to movements really fast and counterweights. This is constructive criticism for the betterment of the product and company. Thank you.
Am having this gimbal & am using OnePlus 6t to shoot. When you shoot in PF & L mode the gimbal will be in your frame. There is no wide angle lens in my phone still the gimbal's arm is visible in every video i shoot. I think this gimbal is for phones having horizontal camera allignment or cameras at the top corners like iPhone & pixel. Not for phone with vertically aligned camera setup
Wow. Jojo John, really? I also have a 6T and I have a hard time to choose from Osmo 3 and this one. Your comment is so precious because I can't seem to find feedback about this setup. So you can see the gimbal's motor in these modes?? besides these problems, what is your overall experience with this setup (6T Smooth Q2) ? I plans to use it without any wide lens... Thanks
@@elveneyes In my opinion osmo 3 is better, I gave my q3 to one of my friend as I was disappointed with its performance. He had been using it with OnePlus 5t & he had the same issue. Other main issue is that the handel will spin crazy when you try to shoot any complex shot or try to switch hands. Finally my friend who is using the q3 purchased a dji osmo pocket, he says it's more comfortable & way easier to use. The dji app is better in his opinion. I didn't had a chance to check osmo pocket myself because of all this lockdown. My friend even did some short videos with it, the results were great. Hope I helped you, my opinion is to go for osmo pocket
the big issue that you will have, will be the axis in your video....it doesnt matter what mode you select, the axis will show up in your video....I do not recommend this gimbal..I purchased smooth Q2 and I am very disapointed
I need this! Iam amateur in filming and need some budget gimbal. Looks like enough good for beginners. I hope it is compatibile for Xiaomi mobile phones?
Great review but you forgot to highlight the CONS. How do you put this gimbal to to motion timelapse standing on a tripod without the gimbal motor showing in the video? Thanks.
You should rethink whether you need a gimbal at all. For simple camera movements, the EIS in up to date smart phones is more than capable. The only situation I can think of is shooting video in challenging lighting condition (eg at night) where EIS makes everything looked a mess. But how often do you do that? I have learnt not to preorder since getting my Snoppa Atom... most of the time it's gathering dust while they are working out on fixes and updates. The EIS on my Pocofone makes it so convenient and the effect is great although cropped in. And this Zhiyun gimbal is not cheap at all compare to its previous versions.
how thick (in m) is the phone you are using? I have the Q2 but unfortunately, it can't hold my Poco F2 PRo vey well. the thickness is 8.9mm. My mom has a Galaxy A8+ 2018 at 8.6mm and it fits snugly on the Q2 phone clamp.
I just received Gimbal Smooth Q2 from pre-order. However, it does not work properly. When I turn it on the 4 lights keep turn on and the Mobile phone does not stable. It should be horizontally itself, but it does not move. Please teach me how to solve this problem. Thank you.
Have checked the reviews of ZY Play and it seems to have lots of problems with most smart phones. it's interesting to see there aren't reviews of this app on UA-cam, I wonder why 🤔
looks very promising, I just used for 1 day the expensive DJI OM 4, and as much I love DJI for advanced technology with the drones, on the gimbal the app is horrible does not even let you select lenses on your expensive phone ! This one I love like you said out of the box you can just use your phone built in video app, which will be always better then any other apps build by those manufactures. Before that I used the Hohem Gimbal I had to sell it because their app was randomly focusing around when I film almost every time be out of focus !
Umer farukk I bought a little rod for a head mounted Shure MV88 and screwed it into the bottom and a lighting cable (from the mic kit to my iPhone 7Plus) it’s a little kludgy but it works MUCH better then the Osmo Mobile 3 because the Zhiyun motors can better handle the tugging of the cable... and the tripod from the Shure kit attaches nicely to the bottom of this setup!!!
@@PuntokUno1014 the Osmo Mobile 3 is designed poorly and has been getting a lot of complaints because it overheats right where the phones battery rest. There are videos showing this.
@@AngelArsFoundation sad to hear that, so far theres no more new reviews for the osmo mobile 3. I would luke to see reviews of the overheating problem.
Just bought the q2 but it seems the camera of the phone captures the backle of the gimbal plus s10+ is not included in the gimbal system it says it cannot use the features of the q2
The Best review of Zhiyun Q 2. Amazing ❤️ And Sir, I have Samsung Note 9 and S10. Could u suggest the beat gimbal for travel vlogging. I am considering Osmo 3, Zhiyun Smooth 5 and Q 2
I had the SQ1 loved it until I drown it in the ocean. As a replacement I went for the osmo 2, i've never really been happy with this one. Love the new SQ2 size is a factor the more compact the better for my needs. Great review cheers mate.
El estabilizador es de buena calidad pero tiene varios defectos graves: - Si lo pones en vertical se ve el motor y te fastidia la toma, por lo que hay que usarlo siempre en ángulo de 45 grados - No tiene botones para controlar el zoom ni el joystick tampoco vale para eso - No tiene modo follow me (lo pones con el trípode y te sigue) o al menos yo no lo he encontrado
I like how nice and compact the Zhiyun Smooth Q2 is but how does it perform? Learn more in my review! Get the Smooth Q2: amzn.to/2oIpk3C
Thank you
i know I am pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch new series online ?
@Roland Jackson Flixportal :P
@Jeremiah Ryland thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!

Got mine today..so excited to make more travel vlog, do you have a tutorial how to use it?
And how is it for now? Do you have any issues?
Were you able to adjust the joystick sensitivity so that you can pan, tilt and roll at different speeds?
If use the ultra wide camera do you have any issues the shot being obstructed by the gimbal?
pedro garcia I am interested too...
the big issue that you will have, will be the axis in your video....it doesnt matter what mode you select, the axis will show up in your video....I do not recommend this gimbal..I purchased smooth Q2 and I am very disapointed
@@sector7panama460 If you press 3 times on the record-button it will tilt down and the the xix Will not be seen.
@@tomahaug tks I now but the issue will be now you cannot move the gimbal up and down
SECTOR7 PANAMA Yes, you are right. And it is a bad thing! Let’s hope they fix it in the next firmware.
I need this! Iam amateur in filming and need some budget gimbal. Looks like enough good for beginners.
I hope it is compatibile for Xiaomi mobile phones?
Curious, if you could only have one and had to pick between this and Osmo 3 for an iPhone, which would you pick sir in 2020?
Thanks for this 👏. The size looks perfect 👏.
Will smooth q2 work with Android devices? My phone is Samsung A50 will this will work with my phone???

This is exactly what I need!

nice footage.. what smartphone you use?
Wow. Stunning vid samples and great review. I am heading up to Florida this week to get mine.
Thank you very much!

Did you use any electronic image stabilization or image stabilizer effect on post production?
Estou em dúvida entre o Smooth Q2 e o Smooth 4. Qual é melhor?
Nice landscape - Where did you film?
I just received Gimbal Smooth Q2 from pre-order.
However, it does not work properly. When I turn it on the 4 lights keep turn on and the Mobile phone does not stable. It should be horizontally itself, but it does not move.
Please teach me how to solve this problem.
Thank you.
Hi. If you hold it vertically does the motor show with the normal lens?
Have checked the reviews of ZY Play and it seems to have lots of problems with most smart phones. it's interesting to see there aren't reviews of this app on UA-cam, I wonder why 🤔
Cause they get paid to review these products. Thus they have to avoid negative things
This Gimbal I think doesn't need their ZY app. It linked directly to Phone Camera app.
is it still stable when you run?
Is this the engineering sample or the actual one on sale? bos some reviews are just based on the former one to comment.
Came for the gimbal review... ended up falling in love with the place you filmed at 🤭🥰
Belmontas in Vilnius - look it up! :)
Looks like Iceland to me

Hi, I have a Samsung A5, do you know if this model is compatible or which one?
Is this gimbal have a zoom options
How to attach externt mic on this gimble
Umer farukk I bought a little rod for a head mounted Shure MV88 and screwed it into the bottom and a lighting cable (from the mic kit to my iPhone 7Plus) it’s a little kludgy but it works MUCH better then the Osmo Mobile 3 because the Zhiyun motors can better handle the tugging of the cable... and the tripod from the Shure kit attaches nicely to the bottom of this setup!!!
Does the arm lock when not in use?
Unfortunately not usable with ultra wide lenses at all. The motor is visible in the footage and counterweights are not practical.
Gabor Reiter they just released the update to fix that problem
darbymalek you still can’t use it in follow mode or lock mode
I was about to ask about that. Thanks for letting us know ! 👍
have you done it's run test?
Stunning! When I had no idea to buy something like this, it made me curious.
Irá has zoom?.
Which one do you recommend, smoothq2 ir freevision vilta M ?
Thanks for great review! Can you adjust the joystick sensitivity? Aka how fast the gimbal turns, moving the joystick?
Did you fix your phone off center in the hook to avoid the front motor coming in the frame while using ultra wide lens?
Yeah ive been having the same problems and its been pissing me off lately
Pity not supported by filmic pro which I use. Wanted to avoid getting the more bulky smooth 4
Excellent review! I prefer the design and the size to Osmo Mobile 3, but I just wonder which one is smoother when stabilizing?
Im turn between osmo mobile 3 pr the smooth q2. Huhu

Great video and by the way did you receive the new update on your mate 30 pro
Thanks! Not yet! I will keep using the phone and I will make another "After 2 or 2 months" review like I usually do
Is there vertigo and scene transition mood in q2? Pls tell me
Just bought the q2 but it seems the camera of the phone captures the backle of the gimbal plus s10+ is not included in the gimbal system it says it cannot use the features of the q2
Yes i have the s10 plus the axis gets in the way even in normal camera
Nice shot!
Is it fully compatible with Galaxy S10?
The Best review of Zhiyun Q 2. Amazing ❤️
And Sir, I have Samsung Note 9 and S10.
Could u suggest the beat gimbal for travel vlogging.
I am considering Osmo 3, Zhiyun Smooth 5 and Q 2
I have the s9 plus and i am using q2.. i'd suggest you buy it. Cuz it can give you a 16 hour plus battery time
And the best part is being able to finally charge your phone while using this gimbal....yay! 😃 Goodbye zhiyun smooth 4 hello smooth 2 ❤️
GB Q2 nhiêu tiền vậy bạn
How is it with the ultra wide lens?
alecks Horrible. Doesn’t work at all .
nice and easy to use
Loved it want one !
next time try it out with midrange devices only with eis no ois. unfold its full potential
Heyyy , is it compatible with iPhone 13??
Yes
Much to short man, explain more. Like how do you switch to de different modes?
Agreed I had the smooth Q and I loved even tho I was the cheap one. My heart broke when my henge broke
Is you had same model gimbal which has broken or other, because in the above video he said it's all metal with solid build quality. Please reply.
Like video rất tuyệt cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẽ .
So beautiful!

Can it support smartphone with lens?
please try it with Note 10 plus 🙏🏼
I love it but it is not available in my locality...aehhehe
❤❤❤❤❤
Nice, 👍👉battery
You should add a part when running in reviews
Thanks for showing
It looks like a great small gimbal. Nice review.
Agree! Thanks!
I like it.

Everything good until you put the wide angle...
waw😍😍
Nice
❤️❤️👍

🤑
Dont buy, some of devices have unstable shake on pitch axis, make useless this device. Support not answer.
Ultra wide lens❔ ⛔️👎🏻❌
none of the gimbals i've tested with work with ultra wide angle lens
Work with note 10 plus?
