How To Use A Microphone With Zhiyun Smooth 4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- In this video I am demonstrating how you can attach and use an external microphone with the Zhiyun Smooth 4 and new iPhone's that do not have an audio/microphone jack. In order to use a microphone with iPhone's such as the iPhone 7, 8 and X both regular and plus models you must plug a microphone into the lightning port. The problem when attempting this with a Smooth 4 is the lighting port is blocked by the motor. In this video I show you a few neat tricks on how to solve this problem and some gear to easily mount your microphone.

I’ve been searching for videos for at least 3 hours for something like this!! Thank you for all the links as well! You’re a life saver!!
I just want to say I literally purchased every piece of equipment that you recommended in your videosome time ago and I finally took the time tonight to put it all together. I am so inspired and motivated to put my talents out there now! Thank you for teaching us a practical way to create cinematic magic!
sooooo HELPFUL!!! Thank you for making such a great video!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Thanks so much for listing all the products as well, I have been searching for this for months, great info.
I've been searching for the whole day for the solution. Thank you very much!
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO! I have been struggling with this very issue and you have not only demonstrated the proper set up but also included links for purchase (of which I just made). Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I bought everything on amazon $270 including the smooth 4. Perfect set up and extremely functional.
Nice. Enjoy your new gear 🙂
Thanks for posting this up, very helpful.
What a great, simple, straightforward, and informative video. Thanks so much. Subscribed.
Wow, thank you for this. It does work. Wow. I like how lightweight this solution is, not too much attached to the unit so it can be folded and placed in the bag.
This is SO HELPFUL! Thank you.
Thank you for making this video! Very helpful!
Excellent "how to" demonstration and "right to the point"! Love your style.
best set up i've seen. Great work man.
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Great video! Thanks. Just purchased all your suggested links to set up my iPhone audio for my smooth 4.
I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that I purchased the equipment recommended in this video and just tried it out outside (very windy today). The results were fantastic! Thanks for all the information in this video!
Great thanks for sharing 👍
WOW! Thank you! Great information. We just bought them all.
Nice workaround. Thanks!
Nice set-up to use a good mic with your iPhone and Smooth 4. Thanks for sharing.
You have saved my life, thank you so much.
This video was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for a well informative video. Just purchased the Zhiyun Smooth 4. Question, with your setup above, can you adjust the audio levels internally from the ZY app? Thank you in advance...
Wonderful video. Made my day as I had just purchased a Smooth 4....and immediately became aware that I needed help with the mic setup. Kudos on this....and thanks.
Yes I just ordered everything you showed in your video earlier today
love your videos you give the best explanation for all things thanks keep it up
Thank you very much 🙂
That's great, thanks. Is there still no audio-/ TRS-jack-to-angeled-Lightning adapter on the market? I mean: one cable, instead of three?
Thanks for the video, I was looking for a solution to the problem.
That’s great I’m glad it helped
Great video! Thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching
Great info !
Damn, THANK YOU for the tip with the special cable that is necessary to use the Rode VideoMicro with iPhone!
At first I thought it would work with the normal cable, but I was wrong.
So weird that Rode doesnt't put a cable into the box that works with the iPhone, I'm sure many people believe it's incompatible because of that.
Thank you so much for this very informative video, and for the links. We bought the whole set-up and it works beautifully. My only gripe is that there's no adjustment available on the mic angle. As it's a directional mic, and I hold the gimbal at 45 degrees in most situations, the mic ends up pointing at the floor. I've found I can get round this by using two rubber bands instead of the ring adapter to hold the mic cradle shoe. This means I can alter the angle between 90 degrees and 45 degrees.
You could purchase a mini ball head and put that in between the microphone and the cold shoe That would allow you to adjust it to any angle. Some ball had to purchase have a cool shoe plate on the bottom and that would be needed
SO HELPFUL !! Thank you.
Great I’m glad you found it helpful 👍
Goodness! Five years later and so many videos I watched from this channel and this is exactly the fix I was trying to find to hook up mics to the iPhone with a gimbal that has a motor that close to the phone’s port. I feel so silly finding it so late!!!
Now wondering if there is a 90 degree USB-c to 3.5 mm adapter for the upcoming iPhone 15 Pros??? Maybe a third party Android/Samsung/Google phone company has one???
Next year is my “year of creativity” and a big push for my hiking and outdoor channel again. New phone, new Rode wireless Pro and a new gimbal like the Smooth (along with the new Davinci iPad and camera apps) should be a fun and exciting year
😊❤
I appreciate the video. Just picked up the smooth 4 and was thinking about a solution.
Thanks! Your vids are great and easy to understand for tech challenged people like myself-thanks! purchased the required items!
Amazing review and ingenuity. Do you know if this exact setup will work with Filmic Pro app on iPhone X?
This was very helpful for my purposes. Thank you!
cable ties will work...... I think and they don't cost 30 bucks. Nice video/review.
This was a superb, educational presentation to solve a problem that many people have. Thanks for your efforts.
Great explanation
Thanks for sharing👍👍
Thanks for the video..
Most Informative 👍
Nice video!
Do you think that i could use a lavalier on this?I have a Huawei mate 20 pro
This is of great help, TYSM
This was excellent, thanks so much for making it. Question it does not seem to access the mic on the X max. Any ideas?
Fine instructive video, but where can I find the links to buy the accessoires?
The Smooth 4 pan arm does hit the knurled tightening wheel on the mic. I just discovered this with the Movo VXR10 mic. If you flip the cold shoe mount over and put the red screw at the back, the Smooth 4 arm clears it.
Thanks for sharing that tip
Superb solution, so difficult to find it at YT.
Helpful video! Many thanks! The only thing where do I get this round mount from?
Appreciate your video! Where are the links for the accessories?
Good video. I used the set up for the first time tonight and thought it worked great. Fortunately, I was only shooting a basketball game so the problem I discovered isn't a big deal in this case; however, using the ZY Play App, the audio and video are out of sync.
I just tested this with myself speaking and confirmed.
However, if I record using the iPhone's standard camera app audio and video sync fine.
Have you run into this problem? Do I need to abandon the ZY app? Should I? Can I? (I know I'll lose functions like zoom but that may not be critical to me).
Thanks so much. You just solved a lot of problems!
thank you so much!
Cool video
Thank you
Does thie still work with a larger phone?
How can you charge the phone at the same time as using the microphone?
Do vibrations and/or motor noise creep into the recorded audio?
Thank you! How would you attach a light on top of that set up?
I use the Saramonic SR-M3 with my Smooth 4. Does the bracket interfere with the pan axis at all, even though it's mounted on the stationary neck?
Hi there, can we use light and microphone altogether in this . Please let me know how and which light ?
have you used this with Filmic PRo ? The mic can't be seen by the app - any suggestions?
Hi there, Thank you very much for this video! I need your help, have an iPhone 7 and I use a mic iQ7 Zoom which plugs directly into the lightning... how do you think it could work? Thank you very much again!!
Superb bro , actually I am finding solutions to connect the mic to gimbal. 🙏🤩
Very helpful. I see why you have so many subscribers. Cheers.
The audio still sounds good with the Splitter & the dungle too?
Hey bro
How can you broadcast live with the gimbals? on favebook
Thank you!!!!
Very good idea Pro 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀
This is a really good video, thank you:) My Zhiyun Smooth 4 can't seem to support the weight of it all, as the bottom red light goes on and the motor stops working. The arm is out to its maximum and is still a little too heavy on the side of the mic attachment. Any thoughts on this?
good set up but is this mic will work for xs max?
Fantastic
Do you think the gimbal will work in this same fashion with a moment lens attached?
every time i need something you come to the rescue
can i add this Adapter Ring Mount on Smooth 3 ?
Do you get All parts as kit. Our do you have to buy separately. Thank u.
Could I use the Zhiyun device if I had a Comica BoomX-DMI wireless receiver plugged into the lighting port, or would the phone become too difficult to balance? The Comica receiver is a bit wider than the splitter you used in this video.
Does the splitter works properly ?
Hey! I purchased everything you said! I have a Rode Video Mic Me and a Zhiyun Smooth 4 as well. For some reason though, the mic just work when it’s connected directly on the cell phone. When I use the TRS to TRSS cable the sound doesn’t sound good. The mic you’re using in this video is the Mic Me? Do you know if this TRS to TRSS cable is supposed to work on my mic too? Or do I have to buy a new cable. I hope you understand my question. The video was dope! Thanks
TRRS FOR PHONES
Do you have a recommendation for another microphone? The Rode on Amazon is showing unavailable. (US)
Thanks for a very useful video.
This is a really basic question that I can't find answered anywhere -- how can you get the main cameras of the iPhone to face you with the Smooth 4? Or can you only use it in selfie mode?
Same with me. I need to use rear cam with gimbal for vlogging
I really like ur video it was too helpful , thank you so much ,
I have gone through all ur instructions and products but when I connected to zhyun APP and do video recordings, it is having a unwanted loud noise while using ZHYUN APP ,
I am using IPHONE 11 pro , iPhone 5 s also !! With same microphone VIDEO RODE ,,
When I check with NORMAL IPHONE CAMERA , there is no unwanted noise at all ,
Unwanted noise only comes when I recorded in ZYUN APP , so will u please help to find solution !! Merci beaucoup
Hi. Thanks for a fine demonstration. I would like to know, if it is possible to use the other end of the splitter, to charge your phone simultaneusly as using the mic.?
I assume it could be possible I have never tried that myself
I have a Rode mic that I use with my Nikon D800 and am getting a Zhiyun Q2 and would like to adept to the Gimble. Would it work with the right connections?
So how do you add a Shure MV88+ that has a lightning cable into an iPhone Xr? I haven't been able to find a right angle lightning connector.
Hey there sir 😁 i wanna ask whats particular name on that round mount something to attached on zhiyun before mic i wonder how write on amazon to search that thing lol 😂 please thnks
I need some help. I purchased everything in your links you provided and hooked it up per video instructions. The camera pops up a window stating.."Accessory not supported, This accessory is not supported by this device". Please help
Very nice
Thanks for watching
Could you write the name of the microphone, the mic cable, and the adaptor ring used for connecting the mic? And where can I get it online?
Thanks for your answer! :-)
where did you get this clamp? did it come with the rode mic?
Is there an adapter I can use that will work with a phone case on ?
I have the iPhone 7 plus and the arm on the smooth 4 won't slide out far enough to balance the phone. I just ordered counterweights but if there's something I'm missing about the arm adjustment, I'd like to know. Also, I have the Movo VXR-10 and hooked it up just like you did the Rode above and I have no audio when I do a mic test coming from the mic using Filmic Pro or the iPhone camera.
Are you plugging a TRS or TRRS jack into your phone for mic audio?
where can y find the same Lightning adapter but for huawei P20 ? , have usb-C and no audio output in jack , i search with google etc but nothing, thank you !
Dear, i love this video. But...can you do a test with that mic? I can not operate the microphone + iphone 4 cell phone :C please, your help!!!
nice work .... and now add a moment lens :)
Does the mount fit on smooth q as well?
Can I used it for zhiyun 3 axis gimbal ?
Dear friend... I have an S21+ Samsung phone. what cable do I get to use the mic on the gimble. Need your here. Thanks
thank you. How to Make a Live Stream with Zhiyun Smooth 4
okay, so now I'm just wanting to add 2 more thing to this solution. I would love to have a stereo mic option as well, and would love to through a lamp on it.
