    • @SamuelSotiega
      @SamuelSotiega  8 днів тому +1

      The only thing I know to do what you have in mind is filming remote, but it can be pricey as you also need filming pro on a separate phone, unless you are using the legacy version… Zhiyun has the zy play app, that you can use on a separate phone for remote control and sort-of monitoring. You can either remote control or monitor, so you could position the framing, the switch to monitoring to confirm you got it right. I hope it is making sense. But with either solution you need 2 phones, one of the gimbal recording, the other one remote control/monitoring…

      @SamuelSotiega  7 днів тому

      I feel in terms of Ai tracking, yes. Plus you can get a remote control. In therms of pure stabilisation, probably the Zhiyun is marginally better. But the MT2 will handle phone plus a small camera. This zhiyun smooth 5S ai is smartphone only. It all depends in what you are looking for and need…

      Thr Ai tracker is only for faces. The gimbal has a built-in tracker that you can select things to track. I am currently away until July 10th but if you reach out to me then, I can do some tests for you and report back to you. If that helps…

      @@SamuelSotiega right now I'm using the zy cami app with zy remote which I have to pay a subscription fee about 5 bucks a month, because I want to be able to find my composition when I'm filming myself on a tripod.
      but once I find my composition it would be nice to be able to switch to the filmic pro app with filmic remote to dial in the settings
      so its nice theres options like this!
      I still think the osmo pocket 3 with the mimo app is the most convenient and discreet in public but it's cool theres options, thanks for giving me the idea. I'm so intrigued about this ai camera stuff I'm going to skip the smooth 5 ai which I'm sad they can't just let me use the adapter on my 5s but I'm excited about the mt2 gimbals and m6 and all the new stuff coming out!
