Congrats to the winners!!! -James Wolsely from London -Rich Perspectives from the USA -Igor Doval from Brazil -Beyond Your Doorstep from the UK -Sir Gary B from the USA
you should've used a lower end fone to really test the stabilization. by standard, iphone 11 footage already very stable even if handheld. good review. excited to see it and test it out.
I have always wanted to pursue filmmaking, and something I have found interesting recently is that is how phone cameras are becoming so much better. Run-and-gun filmmaking would be great with something like that!
i have this crazy thick phone case, (supcase unicorn beetle case) about half an inch (13mm), can the clamp of that gimbal, handle this kind of celphone case? thank you in advance 😉
I just purchased one. Thanks for the 10% off, saves me 7 bucks but takes it below the free shipping limit and I have to pay 6 bucks for that. So thanks for 1.5% discount really.
@@tenpuzzles tbh itreally would, but Gene was saying in his video when shooting in 4k the video looks a little wiggly until after cropping in, or idk maybe I just didn't understand 🤔
When Sam said "back scratcher", I expected a Peter Griffin to appear out of nowhere and yell "butt scratcher!" only for Sam to reply "NO!" and Peter going "awww"
Just a tip.... if you rotate the rosette on the Sony FX9 viewfinder, so the square bar attaches underneath rather than on top....you'll find it doesn't lean at that annoying angle !!!
Gene: "...and so we're doing a giveaway with five of these! Yada yada drop a comment within the first 2,5 hours of this vid going live." Me: **Checks when the video went live** The video: **Went live 36 minutes ago** Me: **Writes this comment**
I guess the two axes means that it works well for selfie filming when it’s fully extended. $59 is crazy cheap for a gimbal. You wouldn’t be so worried about damaging it at that price 👍
Hi I’m Moses and just wondering if you could bless me with one of those Smooth X. My son and I just starting getting into UA-cam on making videos and one of those smooth x device would be a great help. Only if you have any spare that a lying around. Thank you My address is 38 West Crescent Swanton Morley Norfolk NR20 4LH UK 🙏👍
The smooth 4 was on sale a few days ago at a store here for 49 euros. That was a great deal (which I didn't touch lol). Rather than buying new gear, I've bought a jacuzzi. Because: Happy wife, happy life 😂👍
Creative Sav exactly. if you have a phone, start recording on that. learn how to compose your shots and how to light a scene. it’ll help you out more than not doing anything :)
Update: I recently bought this gimbal and it works really well with Electric Image stabilisation. However I found out it doesn;t work well with optical stabilisaton. I'm using it with Oneplus 5t and it works great
Me: Puts a comment in the comment section with hope that it has a chance for the giveaway. Me again: Hits refresh on the webpage, then notices comments from "4 hours ago." D'oh!
Just the fact that it needs u to install their app and give permeation to access to your GPS location just for activating the gimbal. This is not sth safe from China. Needless to say u film stuff with their app and they can literally get your image into their sever somehow in the background. This is NO JOKE. The cheaper price included your personal information and safety issue. DJI has been exposed lately with their app accessing data that is unnecessary.
I put my phone on airplane mode when doing shoots so calls don't interrupt it, airplane mode kills data also so they cant get shit. and my videos and photos are transferred to my external memory long before I turn airplane mode off. besides its not like we cant guess your general location from the videos posted and pics posted on social media, as far as gps activation getting my location, good luck with that. never activate anything at your home if your paranoid the big bad Chinese are going to come get you in the middle of the night and take you away
i have been making some mobile cinematic films this past few weeks and all are handheld shots and stablize the video on google photos...and found out this gimbal review of yours totally save me😁you da man!🎥🎞️😁
Thank you for doing the review! I'm just starting out learning how to take videos. I've been researching gimbals for my phone and this just might be the one to start with!
Damnit Gene! I was at work during the first 2.5 hours of this video going live!!! From now on I’m going to be in the bathroom at work, checking my notifications and UA-cam once every hour or so!!! 🤣😂😆
Hello there, i was looking for this gimbal's review and got your video in the search.. absolutely loved it..also am subscribing cause you're a vibe man😂♥️ love your energy and I can't wait to watch all of your other videos! Great review! Greetings from Mauritius🇲🇺
Bro, I love your channel. I watch it because it just seems like you're having a good time. I'm not even in the market for new camera toys or anything 😂. Thanks dude
Bought one now, got the combo with your discount $63, you have got to be kidding, perfect price for this piece. Will report back next week on it. Thank you Gene Potato Jet "GPJ"
Wow Zhiyun step their game up, must be nice to have one of these since I love filming on mobile for projects. Also Gene I grew up in Vallejo yet 3 miles from Benicia CA. One love bro thank you for doing this to our community!
Totally giving it a chance here but it would totally help out Matthew making channel to have an extra gimbal for my phone. Now that I have the gopro hero 7 black with a gimbal I’d be fully set
Because of you... I got my first OneWheel road rash today. Buuut, while riding, I was thinking “self, I need a gimbal or selfie stick”. I get home and *boom* Tater Jet has a video giveaway thingy
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of skipping the phone gimbal for a heavier mirror-less gimbal.... however at this price I may reconsider. What have you to loose
Thanks for this video! I ordered one the other day off Amazon and only paid $30 for it without the case and small tripod legs as I didn’t find the set until after I bought it and figured I wouldn’t be setting it up on a table but I would use my camera tripod I already have! I was worried it wasn’t going to be good but your video let me know it is definitely a good started gimbal to get!
I got mine today and I have to say it really sucks. I can’t use my actual phones camera at all. Also if I take my hand off the grip it just starts to twist back and forth. I must have location on at all times to use which will allow others to see where my home is if they know how to figure that out. It will work for what I need it for but I definitely won’t buy another product from this company because I like privacy having 5 children. It’s very good quality. Oh also if I have it on charge I can’t turn it on unless I unplug it and then plug it back it which is a bummer. I would have loved to use my phones camera instead of an app
Loved your video, helped me decide to buy one! Question for you... I am having issues getting the vertical to balance. I balanced my phone beforehand, and then auto calibrated it. Any suggestions? Thanks for any tips.

Because you use it on a mobile phone that has a good anti-shake feature Try mobile phones or cameras that do not shake. The image will be different.
Thank youu!!
Not compatible with my phone. ☹️
I love how the dude dismissed you when you told him your name was! LOL!
Zhiyun: hey we’re going to send you this product to test...
Potato Jet: let’s see how this works as a back scratcher
Officer: License and registration.
Gene: Yes sir **hands it over**
Officer: Gene?
Gene: ....(...)......Potato Jet maybe?
Officer:
Gene:
Officer: What?
thats adorable
“You look like a Mexican ken doll” lmao I couldn’t stop laughing
I think he said Kendall, like Kendall Jenner in USA :D

4:16 That comment on “My name is Gene”, “uuh PotatoJet maybe?” - Priceless 😂
lol the disappointment on that guy’s voice, of getting the answer “my name is Gene” 🤣
3:23 “if you wanna try to impress some people”
💀🤣🤣🤣
I have always wanted to pursue filmmaking, and something I have found interesting recently is that is how phone cameras are becoming so much better. Run-and-gun filmmaking would be great with something like that!
what 's your name? "Gene?” “Oh, not potato”
I just discovered this dude a few days ago and I'm just binging on his videos.
You are so entertaining in your videos man
I understand u
Gene: You can use this for many things!
Sam: Back scratcher?
*Zhiyun has entered the chat*
zhiyun: make back scratcher attachment immediately
@@charge7316 This is good idea!
Peter Griffin would say it was made for another kind of scratch...
i have this crazy thick phone case, (supcase unicorn beetle case) about half an inch (13mm), can the clamp of that gimbal, handle this kind of celphone case? thank you in advance 😉
“Let me make you beautiful” 🤣 Sam you will always look like a Mexican ken doll. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! 🤣🤣
Bruh I’m dead asf a Mexican ken doll tbh that would be so accurate 🤣
Potato you make me laugh so hard with your cynical comments!
One of the best mobile phone Gimbal out in the market so far😍
Gene - “Don’t worry about the motor going into the frame”
Me - “I worry about bananas going into the frame”
Yeah! hahaha
Lol
I just purchased one. Thanks for the 10% off, saves me 7 bucks but takes it below the free shipping limit and I have to pay 6 bucks for that. So thanks for 1.5% discount really.
Thanks man. Stumbled on your video late at night and after watching your video I bought one. I like the price, free shipping and the discount.
PJ: "Hey don't take pictures of sam"
And this is the reason for a sam cam
The banana underwear 😂. Gene, do you use the iPhone as your main? I wonder what the 8k on the Samsung would look like in that gimbale
Daaaamn that would be mind blowing
Microsquad040 Could test that with the s20 plus
he already has a video on it
@@gwm-btdbattlesagar.ioandmo9988 yea I've seen I meant using the gimbal with the phone what it would look like.
@@tenpuzzles tbh itreally would, but Gene was saying in his video when shooting in 4k the video looks a little wiggly until after cropping in, or idk maybe I just didn't understand 🤔
thank you for showing footage utilizing the gimbal. very helpful and common sense that some bloggers don't use when telling us what to get
Guy: *Notices Sam holding a cinema camera and someone who looks like potato Jet*
Also guy: "Who are you?"
Gene:" Gene..."
Guy again: "oh..."
When Sam said "back scratcher", I expected a Peter Griffin to appear out of nowhere and yell "butt scratcher!" only for Sam to reply "NO!" and Peter going "awww"

Me: **Checks when the video went live**
The video: **Went live 36 minutes ago**
Me: **Writes this comment**
This gimbal would be great for doing some cool travel videography
yes totally
I Get soo much motivated after watching his videos. was feeling low but now I'm feeling great.
Back scratcher? Zhiyun: Let's roast this potato!

You can get many last gen smartphone gimbals for that price on eBay

@@kingsamvisuals like what brands? This is one of the only ones I see show up at the price. And I don’t think I plan to order anything from wish, etc.
Every day is a good day when we get a little Potato!!
I would love to try that selfie stick gimbal, greetings Gene.
I neeeds this!!! I’m heavy set and my whole body shakes like jello during an earthquake. Hood me up bro!!
This is perfect! I wanted to get my brother a phone stabilizer for his birthday. And it even has a vertical mode! Perfect for insta stories
The smooth 4 was on sale a few days ago at a store here for 49 euros. That was a great deal (which I didn't touch lol). Rather than buying new gear, I've bought a jacuzzi. Because: Happy wife, happy life 😂👍
I would like one. I want to start recording videos but I dont have the right equipment. This would help me alot. I would be so happy😄.
Just start
@@theCreativeSav I'm trying my best to start
Creative Sav exactly. if you have a phone, start recording on that. learn how to compose your shots and how to light a scene. it’ll help you out more than not doing anything :)
@@zackrybrannen5669 ok, thanks
Just start, you don’t need equipment other than something that can take a video.
watching your videos is like watching a movie. its really awesome
I think you should have turned off image stabilization in iphone.
Serious question: Does image stabilization not work well with this gimbal?
Kev Cat I want to know to! Bout to buy one
@@kevcat8655 sometimes no. It worsens it
Update: I recently bought this gimbal and it works really well with Electric Image stabilisation. However I found out it doesn;t work well with optical stabilisaton. I'm using it with Oneplus 5t and it works great
3:21
Is that the Zhiyun Smooth X (2-Axis Phone Gimbal Stabilizer) in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? ;-)
New studio starting to look great! Cant wait to see more videos coming!
“Gene?” “Oh, not potato”

Thanks mate, I just got one for £40 with the stand and case. Wouldn’t of got it without this video so cheers mate

You don’t have to use their app at all…
"OH, the first two and a half hours, you say?" I said 4 hours after the video launched
i have been making some mobile cinematic films this past few weeks and all are handheld shots and stablize the video on google photos...and found out this gimbal review of yours totally save me😁you da man!🎥🎞️😁
That’s my ugly face “Perfect” yeah 😂 it same goes to this gimbal only 2 axis but also can shoot “Perfect” footage like 3 axis gimbal
When every review starts to be paid or sponsored it starts to lower the credibility of the reviewer.
True
This is next on my bucket list for a gadget to use in my channel.. Hmmm. Thanx for showcasing this Gene
Love how compact this is! It would be perfect for traveling
I love watching your videos Potato Jet. You are are funny and entertaining. You show awesome techniques and make videography fun
Thank you for doing the review! I'm just starting out learning how to take videos. I've been researching gimbals for my phone and this just might be the one to start with!
Potato looking sharp as hell.
Damnit Gene! I was at work during the first 2.5 hours of this video going live!!! From now on I’m going to be in the bathroom at work, checking my notifications and UA-cam once every hour or so!!! 🤣😂😆

Greetings from Mauritius🇲🇺
HOLY COW THIS IS AWESOME I’d totally vlog with that, but... GoPro HERO 8 Black. Does it all right out of the box and waaaay more stable and smooth.
Bro, I love your channel. I watch it because it just seems like you're having a good time. I'm not even in the market for new camera toys or anything 😂. Thanks dude
you were always fun to watch
really love the Zhiyun Smooth X
Bought one now, got the combo with your discount $63, you have got to be kidding, perfect price for this piece. Will report back next week on it. Thank you Gene Potato Jet "GPJ"
One of what i call sifu or master. Learn a lot from him👍👍👍
Wow Zhiyun step their game up, must be nice to have one of these since I love filming on mobile for projects. Also Gene I grew up in Vallejo yet 3 miles from Benicia CA.
One love bro thank you for doing this to our community!
Love your review! Its my first time seeing your videos and I enjoyed it! I am tempted to go buy that gimbal!
Awesome! Love how compact it is! Definitely love the price tag too!
ok, I'm in on this gimbal. thanks for the code! Ordering is done. Now let the waiting beginning.
I really love the colors on your videos these days. Great upgrade from shooting on your previous canon camera!
Sam deserves the camera time for all he does....great video like usual ...and nice new studio!
Just ordered one! thanks so much Gene!. excited to use it.
great 2 axis gimbal review. perfect for someone who doesn't really need the smoothest gimbal but super compact
Totally giving it a chance here but it would totally help out Matthew making channel to have an extra gimbal for my phone. Now that I have the gopro hero 7 black with a gimbal I’d be fully set
Many cool features. I also like new shooting locations near the new place.
The new house looks amazing!
Nice review! Love your content bro. Keep doing your thing
Can you make video about cheap gimbal for mirroreles cameras
I like the extension on the Gimbal. Its a useful addition.
That outro deserved a free zhiyun.
I will buy this even if to replace my selfie stick. Its a nice gimbal but its even better selfie stick to get a beautiful wide angle shot.
Another Emmy winning video by Gene! Now where is my stabilizer? Haha...
Saw you very briefly on Peter McKinnons channel talking about lighting setups. Sweet
Because of you... I got my first OneWheel road rash today. Buuut, while riding, I was thinking “self, I need a gimbal or selfie stick”. I get home and *boom* Tater Jet has a video giveaway thingy
The gimbal review was really good. Good job
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of skipping the phone gimbal for a heavier mirror-less gimbal.... however at this price I may reconsider. What have you to loose
That mic looks so professional was my first thought once you got into the studio
hi gene good to see u in your new location..nice place.i enjoy watching you
you are great! Don't stop! Keep em coming!
I was actually surprised how stable it was for a 2 axle gimbal. another really good video
Dude I’m Canadian, those geese are savages don’t get too close !
Somehow I feel, Potato always looks and sounds super happy 😂😂😂
Very impressed how stable the footage was with just 2 axis... are you sure there wasn't any software stabilization turned on in the iPhone?
I did NOT need to see that last shot!! :D
As always, AWESOME review! 👍👍😊
Thanks for this video! I ordered one the other day off Amazon and only paid $30 for it without the case and small tripod legs as I didn’t find the set until after I bought it and figured I wouldn’t be setting it up on a table but I would use my camera tripod I already have!

The ending was epic😂 you should probably rate this video 18+
Loved the features and stabilising
I like how small and compact it is.
Loved your video, helped me decide to buy one! Question for you... I am having issues getting the vertical to balance. I balanced my phone beforehand, and then auto calibrated it. Any suggestions? Thanks for any tips.
Always entertaining and informative.
Definitely going to use this as a back scratcher
Love this one, and keep up the good work 👏
WOW, that FX9 footage 🤤
Another great video. I do like how you look at budget stuff as well as the high end tech.
Oh and we could all use the extra buldge.
I think this is best used for beginners who like to try vlogging :) and the selfie stick looks exciting to use.
