Zhiyun Smooth 5 Mobile Phone Gimble

The Zhiyun Smooth 5 is a professional-grade smartphone gimbal stabilizer designed for serious content creators, mobile filmmakers, and vloggers who demand a higher level of control and performance. It is a significant upgrade from entry-level gimbals, offering a robust build and a redesigned control layout for a more intuitive shooting experience.

Key Features and Highlights:

• Professional 3-Axis Stabilization: The core of the Smooth 5 is its advanced 3-axis stabilization system. It uses powerful magnetic steel motors and upgraded algorithms to provide incredibly smooth and cinematic footage, even with larger and heavier smartphones. The rear-mounted motor design ensures that you can shoot ultra-wide-angle videos without the gimbal’s arm getting in the shot.
• Redesigned Control Panel: The Smooth 5 features a professional-style control panel with a dedicated joystick, mode buttons, a power button, and a new, large, and tactile control wheel. This wheel allows you to easily switch between zoom and focus, giving you precise, manual control over your shot without having to touch your phone’s screen.
• Compact and Ergonomic Design: While not as small as the Smooth Q4, the Smooth 5 has been updated to be more compact than its predecessors. Its ergonomic design and all-in-one control panel make it comfortable for single-handed operation, reducing fatigue during long shooting sessions.
• Advanced Creative Modes: The gimbal comes with a variety of shooting modes and creative features to help you get professional-looking shots. These include:
  • Dolly Zoom: A classic filmmaking effect where the background zooms in or out while the subject remains the same size.
  • Time-Lapse & Motion-Lapse: Allows you to create dynamic time-lapse videos with programmed camera movements.
  • SmartFollow: The gimbal can automatically track a subject with a single tap, keeping them perfectly in the center of the frame.
  • Vortex Mode: Creates a dizzying 360-degree spinning shot.
• Magnetic Fill Light (Optional): The Smooth 5 features magnetic mounting points on both sides of the phone clamp for optional magnetic fill lights (sold separately or as part of a combo kit). These lights provide a quick and easy way to add professional lighting to your videos.
• Long Battery Life and Fast Charging: The Smooth 5 is powered by a 2600 mAh battery that provides up to 12 hours of runtime. It also supports PD (Power Delivery) fast charging, allowing you to fully charge the gimbal in as little as two hours. The gimbal can also be used as a power bank to charge your smartphone while shooting.
• Broad Compatibility: The gimbal’s wide phone clamp can accommodate most modern smartphones, even with external lenses and accessories attached.
