I recently purchased a Smooth Q for iPhone 7+. I've found the following problems: 1) there's something off about the roll axis default. 0.0 is slightly tilted... It looks like one will need to do some sort of manual override in the Ziyun Assistant app to compensate for the misaligned calibration. 2) you mentioned accessories lens compatibility... however as you stated there's a weight limit. Currently my Moment V2 wide lens + photo case (weighing 323 grams) simply won't work. I probably would need to rig some sort of counter balance on the other end to fix this.

I just bought the Lucidcam VR which has 2 lenses side by side for 180 degree 3D video. If I mounted the camera in the SmoothQ with the lenses facing where the phone screen would be, would it work to stabilize the video? I know that none of the buttons on the SmoothQ will work because there is no bluetooth and since it's not a phone, no app. It's not worth it to me to buy a gimbal made for a larger camera since those gimbals cost more than the Lucidcam VR itself. Thanks.

Slight problem with the in-use iPhone charging from the Smooth Q. The small end of the charging cable isn't compatible with the Lightning socket on most iPhones. Also, when the iPhone is fully engaged in the clamp, access to the lightning socket is not possible. As you say in your video, charging the iPhone is only possible between takes, but that still means I have to use a dedicated USB to Lightning cable.

@LearnLightAndSoundSessions

It doesn't look like there's a plan for replacing batteries. So either it is disposable (not good), you crack it open and solder in a new battery (requires some DIY grit), or we convince Zhiyun to start a battery replacement program. Fortunately, most Li-Ion batteries can stand several hundred recharge cycles so unless you use this thing for 12 hours every day, I think we can reasonably expect several years of service from it.

The Crane is good for it's price and if your overall camera/lens payload. Here's where I covered the Zhiyun Crane: kzitem.info/news/bejne/r26Cz5xrbnWjppg Good luck!

The ZY Play app has the face tracking feature. You draw a square around the person you want it to track and it does the rest. Here's a simplistic demo: kzitem.info/news/bejne/roKGrYB3nXykfqQ

Does the gimbal pad block the bottom of the iphone 7 lightning or android usb type-c port? Want to hook an external mic up.

xHOTDAMNxHBx no, you can mount the phone with the charging port facing out

Yes, it does block the lightning port on iPhone 7. I tried mounting the phone the opposite direction with the top of the phone against the motor but then the camera is blocked by the arms of the gimbal. Unfortunately I don't think there's a good way to use a wired mic with this. Possibly it would work with some android phones depending on where the camera lens and USB-C port are located.

Hello Curtis, thank you for this great video. Never used a gimbal before but I see that it only has a video record button. Can I shoot a photo or pano with it as well? Thanks so much

Great video and thanks for the tips. I want to get a smooth Q for interviews and it looks like it'll be a great way to stabilize my shots. Would/Could you recommend a good microphone to use with the iPhone? I'm using an iPhone 6 at the moment.

Hi Mehrab, which type of microphone are you considering? Are you recording yourself? Interviewing someone? Would a lavalier microphone work or are you looking for something more like a shotgun microphone? It probably will NOT work to mount the mic on the phone while on the gimbal due to the extra weight and especially because of the way the phone fits in the gimbal, the bottom of the phone is blocked by the gimbal arm.

Hey Curtis, I'm not sure what to consider. I'll be interviewing someone else. I would like to make the footage a little more dynamic than just standing there, walking around, moving from room to room in the office, etc, that's why I want a wireless mic. I think a lavalier (lapel) mic is what I need but possibly wireless.

You could record the sound separately with something like this: kzitem.info/news/bejne/loCks6WurKlnbHY and then sync the sound to the video in post.

Great Review! Will the gimbal operate without the app?

+Brianwashere92 yes, I used the default camera app to shoot the clips here except the face tracking clip. Face tracking does require the Zhiyun app.

Do you have to film with the smooth Q native app? Or can I film with other apps on the phone?
@curtisjudd
7 жыл бұрын
No, I used the native iPhone camera app for all of the gimbal shots in this video except for the face tracking clip. When using other apps, you cannot zoom with the switch on gimbal handle or use face tracking that pans and tilts the gimbal to follow the person, but otherwise, other apps work great.

Thanks so much! I prefer to use apps such as ProCam to get 4K and a better handle on quality
