Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Prior to this product, I have only experienced the gimbal from my DJI Mavic Pro so I expected this product to be super smooth and stable just like my drone. I really like "B-roll" so I wanted a device to easily and cheaply capture super smooth, slow, panning shots of any subject with my iPhone.
Adjusted Purpose for Purchase
Fun and quick home videos.
Expectations
Please first watch the Zhiyun Smooth Q by David Zhang on YouTube. I absolutely hated this product in the beginning and was very close to returning it until I watched his review. As David Zhang's review states, this Gimbal will NOT stabilize Up/Down, Left/Right, and Forward/Back, but WILL stabilize Tilt/Roll/Pan, so start practicing your smooth glide-walk!
Setup
First, balance your iPhone / GoPro and make the necessary adjustments. Then turn your on the Gimbal.
Recording Method
I tried ZY Play and the video was very shaky. The native iPhone Camera App's built-in stabilization was noticeable and nice and superior to ZY Play. I first had assumed the Smooth-Q would only work with the ZY Play, but no, it's primary function is to just stabilize whatever device you put on there. Last tip regarding Recording Method is to hold the gimbal upside down. This smoothed out footage even more as it was easier to hold and adjust for me.
Preferred Device
So I tested both my iPhone 7+ and my GoPro Hero3+ Black with the GoPro attachment. Both devices work with the Gimbal but are technically too large and will bump against itself at certain angles. But this does not detract from its performance throughout my usage. The Gimbal at times struggles with the iPhone 7+ weight and the iPhone 7+ cannot self balance prior to turning on the Gimbal and using the motor's assistance. The GoPro can easily self-balance and video footage is much smoother, presumably from being much lighter. So I greatly prefer using the GoPro with the Smooth Q.
Conclusion
If you are after the smooth, slow-panning shots, you can achieve it, but will probably need to spent a lot of time, recording a lot of video, to get usable footage. Otherwise, if you just want to capture some moments quickly and easily with a very noticeable improvement in videography compared to your usual shaky hands, this product fits the bill nicely.

This is honest review and my time with the Zhiyun Smooth Q Gimbal and I made four videos on my Youtube Channel (ThePandaPhotographer) and currently making one last video about a serious headache about the warranty and return. First and foremost I would like to say that when I plan to purchase this product for my travel vlogging and video content, I was hoping for a good experience but it was half and a half until the device started after the 10th day to shut down on full batteries. For the price, the gimbal is a no-brainer and consumer friendly device for a smartphone user to have when making travel video or Youtube content creators.
Now The Zhiyun Play app really kills the life out of your batteries when using the APP so you have been fairly warned. At the time the follow or Face detect feature doesn't work and at the time it does work but it not a smooth experience as other gimbals offer a better experience.
Build quality of a plastic build is good but do not take this outside in extreme weather condition. It's plastic and doesn't say it weather sealed product either so please do try it. Programming the gimbal is easy for some but made be difficult for others to learn
Keep in mind when using Anti-shake, it will crop the image slightly to make sure smooth footage but in my experience using it, it was half and a half and if you are using OIS in your iPhone, it's best to turn off OIS due to the fighting between the gimbal and the smartphone.
After two days of having the product, this is where thing took a turn from weird to bad.
1) While testing on a running scene (within 20 minutes) the gimbal die and it was fully charged.
2) Gimbal will not response to modes selected when selected
3) You can't charge the phone in landscape mode (or less you purchase an L-type cable (Make sure it a certified cable for your smartphone)
4) While using in landscape mode and charging the phone the gimbal battery life can drain much faster while using the Zhiyun Play APP
NOTE: using other Apps like Promovie did not have the same effects as the Zhiyun Play App.
5) If you will like to add third-party lenses to smartphone while using the Gimbal, you will have to purchase or make counter-weights if lenses weight more than 30G and max load for this smooth Q is 220g
6) After the 10th day using it the battery is no longer functions normally
7) Call Amazon to report and get a fast replacement and was told bad news that they can't replace it but refund me and I can purchase the item again. (Note: if you purchase this in North American you can only send it back to North America and you will pay for international shipping) You can't take it to another country or another warranty service centre either.
There are many videos online and there are just too many videos of people purchasing and the item starts to be defective from the start. This causes concern for me as a Semi-pro photographer travelling and need reliable gear. I've sent Zhiyun direct video links and clips of my issue on Facebook and other contact platforms. What bugs me that I can't use an Amazon label to shipped to the US warehouse direct and if I send it back to seller, Amazon will provide a shipping label but it's up to the seller to inform Amazon I made a return and I had to deal with this problem in the past and the latest my refund can be issue is either after the 12 days to 14 days. This is why I have to be more carefully purchasing items from third-party sellers on Amazon. Overall my experience has been good and bad but the final days in the last days using the product will be the glue to my memories for a long time.
Update: The Gimbal started to behave more strangely than before and now doesn't even wake up or less I'd plug it to the wall to power/ charge the device. Strange right? But further tested
This is a real world review on the Zhiyun Smooth Q and I am sorry to report that I will be using this no longer due to some battery issue with the unit. It shut itself off with using the iPhone and gimbal at the same time while charging and using the Zhiyun Play App. Also at the handle, I do feel the battery getting hot after 2 minutes of using it which causes the smooth Q to crash and turn off. I send it out to be tested and turns out there is no 26650 battery but a 18650 battery inside. I've published good video about the product after my first week but it's now 3 weeks and 10 days out of those 3 weeks have been a headache for me. Save your money and just purchase a better Zhiyun gimbal for your smartphone because this smooth Q is two-faced girlfriend that i will never want to date again. ThePandaphotographer at Youtube.
I used the app and that was helpful since I was able to use the record button on the handle instead of touching the screen. The files were a little tricky to find at first and I'd thought I hadn't been recording, but they were there.
4 stars instead of 5 because many times when starting the unit it had a hard time finding the right position. I don't think this was user caused malfunction, but honestly, it could have been since I've never used one of these before. I also wish there was a way I could reverse the thumb controlled joystick. It's not intuitive for me as it is and the option to switch it would be nice. There might already be a way to do this but I couldn't find directions for it in the manual. A super minor thing but mine didn't come with a cleaning cloth as pictured.
Despite that, this little guy is well worth the money if you are looking to use your phone while walking around to catch smooth looking quality video. See the video attached to this review as an example of a simple walk around with the device. (We are in Hong Kong Disneyland in the video.)

My issue is with the misleading specs. This is advertised as working with phones up to 220g. My 8 plus is 202g I believe, so there is also leeway to add a lens. The thing is, the actual specs say up to 200g, and this is born out buy the fact that the gimbal cant be set up to have the phone balanced as it should be. It’s too heavy, even without a lens on it.
Saying that, it does work ok, but as per the warnings in the manual, the motors are working harder and the effect is more limited compared to a phone that comes in under 200g.
Ruckelt wenn man seitlich sich langsam drehen will mit Joystick. Ansonsten nimmt jeder Bewegung auf .
