    Thank you for reviewing this, I have been waiting for someone to review this since I found this gimbal about a month ago. There was literally no coverage of this gimbal that goes in depth as you did. You showcased the app well, I didn't know you could lock the Exposure, that is a huge plus and it really makes me want to use the app instead of using alternatives, and changing the lens? Wow, this gimbal is very robust! That mic test sold me this gimbal. Thank you again!

It doesn't hurt that you and I think alike--treat your gear with kid gloves, it will serve your better and last longer! I also appreciated your opening comments in this video regarding your expectations for equipment. It's so refreshing hearing that someone looks beyond the "cool factor." Thanks for what you do. Keep it up!

    Hi Zdenka, I really appreciate your videos, they are very informative. About the counter weight balance - I think you could try some kind of an additional mobile clamp like your DJI OM4 magnetic clamp to balance the phone out!

    Hi Zdenka! I thought this AOCHUAN might be the one Gimbal I was looking for, until we got to the 24 FPS and the camera with the added lens’ balance issue! I think that Gimbal manufacturers must be listening and hope to see some progress on this front! Thank you again for another very informative video!

I currently own the Zyhun smooth-Q gimbal, & Freevision Vilta M Pro. Each gimbal that I've purchased the next one has been a step up with the features and controls. I'm always on the look out for better equipment so, thanks for taking the time out to make this review..

    Hi, I loved the review and bought the gimbal. I used your link, so although I am in Australia I hope you still get your small commission. It was also cheaper using your link than the other seller on Amazon. I love the detail in your reviews and as a Samsung user I am glad you don't forget Android like most other reviewers do. Perhaps another video using the software in more detail would be nice, but this review is an excellent summation. My sole problem now is waiting for it to arrive, I already have several projects in mind. Thx heaps Zdenka, subscribing to your channel has saved me money and pointed me in directions I would not have known about otherwise.

    Hi Zdenka,
    Thank you for your excellent review, which helped me to decide on this gimbal. I just noticed that AC Play app update released on 28 January 2021 for Android now enabled 4K 24fps and switch on ultra-wide lens even on my not-so-popular Motorola Android 10! I am so excited to receive the gimbal this weekend and try it. Thanks again!

  • @WildpixFPV
    @WildpixFPV 3 роки тому

    Hi Zdenka! First of all: I subbed your channel because of your very clear and structured way to explain.
    You are a UA-cam-Lady that deserves to earn good money with it, hats off to the way you got there, including Modelling/Photography.. (yes, I watched quite a few of your videos so far ;-))
    Now to my main concern in this comment: I bought this Aochouan Smart XR for my new Galaxy S21 Ultra. Phone is at 230 grams, but it handles the weight quite good.
    The only thing missing (besides the 24fps) is the anti-shake mode! That's too bad, as your test of it shows a big change in video stabilization..
    And I can only pick ultra-wide and normal lens. Samsung has these as only ones available in native app "pro mode" .. maybe will be "free for all" after some updates.
    Ah, and that multi-lens-shooting is not available either, minor fail.
    But I'll keep the Gimbal anyways (testet Nimbal V3 with horrible wheel plus no grip and FeiyouTech with bad apps..). It has this wonderfully working Focus-Wheel!
    And I will learn a lot from you, looking forward to all this. Great help for my new B-Roll attempts for my FPV-Freestyle videos on my own channel ;-)
    Sorry for this long comment, best luck for all your future projects! :-)

    For the counterweights, a pendrive or an OTG will do the trick. Even the type C to 3.5mm converter cable that comes with phones will also be able to balance certain external lenses. For balancing heavier lenses, some cheap earphones can also be connected.

  • @Lourd.have.Mercy11
    @Lourd.have.Mercy11 3 роки тому

    Hi zdenka. I've been watching your vlogs and learning more and more. I've tried FeiyuTech vimble s then moza mini se followed by DJI osmo3 (2x) and then DJI OM4. All were returned coz I am strictly an android user and most of these gimbal are geared towards iphone I find. Until I saw this last night. Only gimbal I know of with removable battery ...big point for me and the fact that the app applies to both apple and android smart phones with the exception of 24fps for android. The inception is kind of limited but both I can live with. Price wise this is a steal for all that it offers. Because of your thorough unbiased honest review I chose to buy this and ordered today. Looking forward to receiving and using it. Thank you. Really appreciate your post. :) stay safe!

    Hi Zdenka. Thanks so much for all the thoughtful and well presented reviews! I've come to trust your input and advice, and have bought several of the products you've recommended, including this gimbal. I was wondering if you've tried using magnets at all to solve your counterweight problem? I don't know if it would work with other phones, but I just tested it with my iPhone 8 Plus, and it worked well. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work!!

    • @ZdenkaDarula

  • @randomactsofcooking
    @randomactsofcooking 3 роки тому +4

    I was looking at the DJI Pocket Osmo 2 but now I think I'll look into this gimbal instead. Love all the features of the app. Don't remember what phone you used, I have the Android on Samsung S20 with Armor case that makes the phone about twice as thick, so have to check the acceptable phone dimensions. Great review. Thanks much. Oh, forgot to ask, is there a tripod screw mount on the gimbal?

    • @ZdenkaDarula
      @ZdenkaDarula  3 роки тому

      Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. Yes there is a screw at the bottom and it comes with small tripod and selfie stick. I still will be doing comparison of top three gimbals in a week just to be absolutely sure. DJI OM4, Moza Mini MX and this one... I’ll also show Moza Mini P. Those are the top this year I had a chance to review... But I do fully agree. Those features are amazing and pretty much has everything. I tested it with Samsung galaxy S 10+

    @MrPhilbautista 3 роки тому

    The counterweight will depend on the weight of the filter but basically, you can just get a lightning adapter or thumb drive and stick that on the other end then adjust the balance with rubber bands. OTOH maybe just bringing along extra batteries might be a better option since it won't look so janky and, given how much juice a single 18650 battery contains, it should be good enough to last you through the day.

    Maybe you should "Invent" and patent a clamp on weight for just this situation. I am working on one now as I cannot find one either.
    Again, Thanks for all you information.
    I am so glad you are now a full timer UA-camr, Congratulations.

    Thanks for your review, great as usual!
    I had smooth Q2 and now OM3 and still not fully pleased so this one seems interesting. Do you find the fit of the phone in the clamp (with a case in it) more secure than on the OM3? wider jaws maybe? It's thight?
    Would you say build quality is equivalent to Smooth Q2?
    Finally, since this one seems more interesting to use with the proprietary app, does this one has WB lock? Also allows to disable edge enhancement / sharpening like in Filmic pro maybe?
    Too bad for the 24/25 fps though.. maybe they can add the ability with firmware updates later.. Should be possible for the record button in other apps as well, that's pretty basic function.

      It is pretty much a same like you had. So if you were not happy with those two I don’t think you’ll be happy with this one either.... All gimbals have their flaws. None of them is perfect. Unfortunately when it comes to androids there are hundreds of different phones so they would have to develop hundreds of different apps to make it work. But I do fully agree with the record button that’s basic that should be enabled

      @@ZdenkaDarula Found your channel about 10 days ago and been slurping up your videos. I bought an iSteady X because it could accommodate the wide angle lens I want to use for shooting real estate, but found that, as you mention, a working Record button really is essential, otherwise you have to trim every shot in an editing app. Then I bought a DJI Osmo 3 because it also accommodates a wide angle lens and paid for FilmicPro for my Android phone. I used it yesterday to shoot an apartment but felt like the Follow mode in Pan-Follow was erratic and too slow. I came home afterward feeling like I have still haven't found my ideal gimbal and software. I will take a closer look at the Android version of the camera app for this gimbal and probably give it a try. Thanks to Amazon's liberal return policy! Thank you for your excellent reviews. You are helping a lot of your fans!!

      Hi there it is nice to see you as well. If you do have also and 50 then I would suggest to wait a little bit. Wait for Monday’s video when I’m gonna be reviewing Moza mini P. That one can be used with your smart phone and M50 as well. But if you want just smart phone gimbal this one is great. I know that they are selling whole bunch of shoe adaptors which are mounted where the quarter inch hole is at the bottom of the gimbal. They have them on Amazon. And thank you yes the channel grew. It is a lot of work.... Mainly those product reviews. Two more products and I’m going back to tutorials finally... I need to take a little break too 😁

I'll be going back through your past ones to up my video game. THANK YOU for that advice! I will wait for Monday's video. I have gone back and forth so many times about just getting a gimbal for the M-50 or starting with a small phone gimbal as a kind of "training" so I'll wait. I value your opinion!

    Very good review. New company. Looks like a good gimbal. As a counter weight hack you might could try a bag clip or a metal clip (put some electrical tape on clip to protect phone). Not very pretty, but might work. Probably too heavy though, unless you could find very small clip.

Now when I watch your old video (this one), I'm 100% down for this one (I'm using Android). The inception is a little disappointed, but hey for this price range with all other features, it's (like you said) almost perfect. Now, I'm gonna buy this one. Thank you Zdenka...

    I have been looking for a smaller smartphone gimbal that has the focus wheel on the side, like my Zhiyun Smooth 4. I have been spoiled with that wheel. So this doesn’t work with Filmic Pro? If not that is discouraging. I don’t want to use a gimbal that isn’t compatible with Filmic Pro. I feel Filmic Pro does better than other apps, and phone camera. I saw that you said it works with Filmic Pro, but does that mean the focus wheel does as well?

    Hi Zdenka! Great vid as usual. I just bought and received this gimbal yesterday, and was wondering if the focus and exposure can be locked separately in AC Play like in Filmic Pro. Unless I missed it in your video (which is entirely possible), I didn’t see this topic addressed. If they can’t be locked separately, I won’t be using AC Play much. I’ll have to make due using this gimbal, which I love, with Filmic Pro. Thanks in advance.
