I had the smooth 5 for 7-8 months and sold it last week. I'm over 60 years old and it's too heavy to hold and carry on in my backpack or camera bag. But I have still the power vision s1. It looks like will buy OM6 and wait for a sale or discount. in Canada, we also have to 12%. Thanks, Otto for the review easy way.

Hello! yeah that's one of the downsides of the Smooth 5, it's big, you can't fold it and it gets a bit heavy to operate and to carry around. I think you will like the OM6, hope you can get a discount on it soon!

Perfect timing Otto! I have literally had most Zhiyun Gimbals, including the Smooth 2, 3, Q3, Q4 and 5. I've tried Aochuan, Hohem, Feiyutech, Power Vision S1, then switched to Pocket 2. Now trying to just pick one of these 2 (actually the Smooth 5S, but it's essentially the same as 5 with the extra built-in light) so... thanks for a quick run down of these side by side.

A very helpful comparison, thank you. I have the Osmo mobile 6 and one problem I have is when filming with the gimbal upside down to take ground level shots. You cannot press the record button and then turn the gimbal upside down because it records upside down - you have to turn the gimbal upside down and then press record. However, the controls are now all on the wrong side and hard to see and get at. Do you have any tips for filming in this mode? Is the Zhiyun better in this respect?
@OttoJulian_
Жыл бұрын
You are welcome. So the way I do it is I flip the gimbal, then start recording before I lower it. The other way is pressing the record button once I’m in position, yes, the record button will be on an awkward position but I got used to it in a few tries

Hello, it is really admirable that you are responding to all comments. I had a small question, I will place the order according to your answer. Out of boredom I bought Gopro hero 9, my phone model is 14 pro max. I'm thinking of getting the 15 pro max when the iphone 15 comes out. Do you think it would be more logical to buy for a gimbal that I can use both Gopro and my phone? I think the powerbank feature in Smooth 5 will be very useful for Gopro. Because Gopros charge in 1 hour :(
@OttoJulian_

hi, I'm trying to keep up with comments but it's not always easy haha. I am a bit confused here. The smooth 5 is not really meant to be used with a Gopro, am I missing something? If your question is if you should buy a gimbal that you can use for your phone and for the Gopro then yeah, that makes sense, but you should look into something like the Hohem MT2 or the Zhiyun Crane M3S (let me copy the links to those videos if you need them): MT2: kzitem.info/news/bejne/woSBl2ema5yXaoI M3S: kzitem.info/news/bejne/maFos4lvrXWpino

oh man, that's a good question! I feel very good about making videos with the iPhone lately, and paired with a gimbal it's just amazing. I don't have the right answer to be honest, at this point I would wait to see if DJI will release a new Pocket device or not in the following months and figure if there is any advantage over an iPhone-gimbal combo. What I like about the Pocket 2 is the size and that I can leave my phone alone for other things. Pocket 2 will be more portable and discreet, and it has more options when it comes to features like shooting in D-Cinelike, etc..... but the iPhone can act as a portable camera + phone at the same time, etc, etc.

That it is expected for all their gimbals that the phone does the little stabilization they couldnt. So they are not really stable and they jitter aparentlly. But no one with Iphone 13 or 14 will notice because you can practically walk around with those and it will look like you have a gimbal. You could use a broom stick and it will give stable results.
