Smooth-5S AI Combo[Official] AI Smartphone Gimbal, Gimbal Stabilizer 3-Axis, Mobile Phone Gimbal, with Tripod, Mobile Phone Stabilizer, for Vlog, YouTube, TikTok

The sturdy grip and premium design along with the perfect movement response. I would advise anyone if you’re serious about filmmaking/ content creation not to waste your money on cheaper models as they are misleading and c###. You can’t go wrong with this gimbal! 10/10

Let me start by saying that it has taken me a while to get the hang of using this gimbal, but I am glad that I have persevered as the results are very good. The reason it has taken me so long is that the instructions are not particularly clear or easy to access. You get a very basic set up guide and are then directed to a long series of online tutorials. If you are a complete novice like I am then like me you might find it all very overwhelming. It took me quite a few sessions and a lot of perseverance before I could even get the basic functions to work. After a lot of online learning and many hours I finally began to get my head around it. I still don't find it intuitive, but the basic functions are logical enough. The gimbal itself is made from strong components and holds my Pixel 7 Pro firmly in place with a little bit of room for a slightly larger phone if you needed. The controls fall quite naturally under the relevant fingers and thumbs and there is a decent amount of feedback when you are operating it. The unit can be hand held or there is a standard tripod attachment if required. The unit works really well. The phone is held very stable and the results are excellent. There are several modes (which I am still getting used to) but you can have smooth pan and so on, so I think that this should cover pretty much every requirement for a stabiliser. So overall I am impressed with the results from this device but it has taken me on a journey to get there. Maybe it is the lack of instructions, or maybe it is just my inexperience with using anything like this before, but it is the first time in a long time that I have struggled so much with new technology. If you are looking for a gimbal then I would certainly say that this one should be on your list.

This is a review of "ZHIYUN Smooth-5S AI Combo[Official] AI Smartphone Gimbal, Gimbal Stabilizer 3-Axis, Mobile Phone Gimbal, with Tripod, Mobile Phone Stabilizer, for Vlog, YouTube, TikTok" I hade never tried using a gimbal previously, so was really pleased to get the opportunity to try this one. Still getting to grips with it (pardon the pun!) but it is an incredible piece of kit. Comes very well-packaged in a professional quality box (quite a large one!). The AI tracker works very well, enabling beautifully smooth video fro my iPhone 15 Pro Max. To get the very best out of a device like this I feel that you really do need to have decent video-editing skills too, using something like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, but there is no doubt that the quality of your raw video will improve dramatically with a gimbal like this. The included set-up guide is very basic - you are directed instead to download the online manual. I would actually suggest instead to go onto YouTube where you will find endless guidance on set and use. It's very well constructed from quality materials; although I had never used a gimbal before now I was already aware that ZHIYUN is a highly-regarded brand in this sector. I feel that I am still climbing a reasonably steep learning curve in order to maximise the benefits of this fantastic device, but I am enjoying the process. Highly recommended. - - - - - - - - - - Note: As a member of the Vine program I was supplied with this item free of charge. I will always provide an impartial and fair review of the product in question. My rating system is as follows: 5 Stars – an exceptionally good, high quality product with no perceived shortcomings 4 stars – a very good product that met my expectations 3 stars – a product which could be better in some respects, but is still fit for purpose 2 stars - a product with significant shortcomings, one which disappointed 1 star - an absolute disaster of a product that should not be on sale

Good solid hardware- terrible software. Does not recognise most of the smartphones. The app does not even shows the right equipment and the company does not have a proper updates on the software side. Full with advertisement and requires personal information to be shared..... Randomly moving the phone while recording as AI tracking something else... If you like a better choice just select any DJI gimbal or use a mechanical crate.

So I admit that I don't have a professional use for this - I am, at best, an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to videographer - so arguably I didn't really need something this high-end, but who doesn't love a gadget. The packaging is excellent so if you do know someone who is into videography, Instagram, etc, then this would certainly be suitable as a gift. For the extra money, it's probably worth getting the pro version which comes with more accessories and functions. There are loads of settings and variables so it does take a bit to get on top of it all but once you do, it really professionalises your photos and videos. I'm not hugely experienced at it all as mentioned but I did manage to get my head around it so if I can - so can you. I find it makes a huge difference with videos in particular. I took a video of my friend's wedding and she said she thought it was better than the one by their videographer, which had more shake and less clarity, so I'll take that as a decent testament to its quality.

The gimble is working just fine and I am getting my hands accustomed to the device, maybe a little drawback being that maybe since this was a replacement of the original Device which got lost whilst intransit, I did not get the protective bag and the colour coded filters and the hand strap as was on the original piece that I had bought. Otherwise it is well. Improvements should be on deliveries to avoid unnecessary delays.

I have just received this product, so I had no opportunity to check its operation etc. Wonderfully, elegant, modernly designed gimbal, aesthetically packaged each part, all this arouses respect for the manufacturer.

Everything like the add shows and all working really great

J’avais hate, tellement bien comme stabilisateur

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, den ZHIYUN Smooth-5S AI Combo Smartphone Gimbal auszuprobieren und muss sagen, dass er meine Erwartungen weit übertroffen hat. Der Gimbal ist vollgepackt mit beeindruckenden Funktionen und bietet ein äußerst benutzerfreundliches Erlebnis. Der AI-Tracker ist ein herausragendes Merkmal dieses Gimbals. Das magnetische AI-Tracking-Modul reagiert unglaublich schnell und verliert die Zielverfolgung auch bei starkem Lichteinfluss nicht. Selbst wenn das Ziel kurzzeitig außer Sicht gerät, findet der Tracker es schnell wieder. Dies ist besonders praktisch bei dynamischen Aufnahmen und sich schnell bewegenden Objekten. Das Design des ZHIYUN Smooth-5S AI ist sowohl ästhetisch ansprechend als auch funktional. Der Schaftarm besteht aus einem halbtransparenten Material, das nicht nur robust ist, sondern auch eine hochwertige Textur bietet. Der Griff ist ergonomisch gestaltet und mit einer Silikonummantelung versehen, die ihn rutschfest und sehr angenehm in der Handhabung macht. Die orthogonale 3-Achsen-Konstruktion ermöglicht eine volle Bewegungsfreiheit und sorgt für stabile Aufnahmen aus jedem Winkel. Die Gierachse kann um 360° gedreht werden, was faszinierende visuelle Effekte ermöglicht. Dank der hohen maximalen Belastung von 300 g ist der Gimbal mit den meisten Smartphones kompatibel. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Zhiyun-Tiefenstabilisierungsalgorithmus, der in Kombination mit dem leistungsstarken Motor ein professionelles Aufnahmeerlebnis bietet. Die Aufnahmen sind unglaublich flüssig und stabil, selbst unter anspruchsvollen Bedingungen. Das integrierte Fülllicht ist eine praktische Ergänzung, die besonders bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen nützlich ist. Mit einem Fülllichteffekt von 680 Lux und einem Luftstromschlitz zur Wärmeableitung kann das Licht für längere Zeit verwendet werden, ohne dass der Gimbal überhitzt. Die Kompatibilität mit zwei Apps, Stacam und ZY Cami, bietet zusätzliche Flexibilität. Beide Apps bieten professionelle Funktionen zur Videoerstellung, wobei ZY Cami besonders durch seine intelligenten Filmvorlagen und die einfache Bearbeitung punktet. Stacam ermöglicht es, schnell hochwertige Videos aufzunehmen. Das All-in-one-Bedienfeld macht die Steuerung des Gimbals äußerst intuitiv. Alle Funktionen sind leicht zugänglich und können mit einer Hand bedient werden. Dies ist besonders nützlich, wenn man unterwegs ist und schnell reagieren muss. Schließlich ist die Schnellladefunktion ein großer Pluspunkt. Der Gimbal kann in nur 2 Stunden vollständig aufgeladen werden und bietet eine beeindruckende Laufzeit von bis zu 26 Stunden. Dies ermöglicht ein unterbrechungsfreies Arbeiten und sorgt dafür, dass der Kreativität keine Grenzen gesetzt sind. **Fazit:** Der ZHIYUN Smooth-5S AI Combo ist ein erstklassiger Smartphone Gimbal, der sowohl für Anfänger als auch für erfahrene Vlogger und Filmemacher geeignet ist. Die Kombination aus intelligentem AI-Tracking, herausragendem Design, Stabilität und benutzerfreundlichen Funktionen macht ihn zu einem unverzichtbaren Werkzeug für jeden, der qualitativ hochwertige Videos erstellen möchte. Ich bin begeistert von der Leistung dieses Gimbals und kann ihn uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
