- I wanted to love this thing, Wonderful case, nice looking, with detail and all kinds of bells and whistles to make a gimbal experience a good one. Trouble is and I find it amazing that it was designed to hold only phones without a case. I am amazed at how they could go to so much trouble and design yet fail to make Fingers that don\'t adjust to at least hold a 1/2 in thick phone in a case. I am just going to send it back as I am not taking my case off every time to use this thing. Somebody is a bonehead of a designer.
- Zhiyun somehow added new features to their Smooth Q line. Already a great gimbal the Smooth Q4 adds an extendable 3 axis gimbal. It is an improved design that allows the arm to be extended and pivot just under the pan motor. This would be great for those who will use this gimbal to vlog or get selfie shots without changing. The other big change is the new way the arms fold creating a more compact position when not in use. This is rather helpful if you are traveling with this gimbal. It easily can fit in your pocket so that it can be carried around when you are traveling. It still retains a small compact design but still have strong enough motors to handle an exterior lens like the ones from Moment. All motors have a locking position so the motor doesn’t just spin when not in use. Attaching the phone to the gimbal is simpler with the new design of the attachment arms that just fold out. Startup is easy with the new ZY Cami App. Just power it on and the blue tooth automatically connects after initial setup. The app itself has several different shooting modes like timelapse, hyperlapse, slow motion, panorama, and zoom dolly feature. You can also so dome editing directly in the app.The Smooth Q4 is make of a high-quality plastic body with really grippy rubber grips and makes it feel really secure in your hand even though it is quite compact. On the right side you have a power button and a USB-C charging input. The main controls include a joystick to make adjustments to the roll and tilt of the phone in the gimbal. It also has a mode selector to toggle between shooting modes Pan Follow, Lock, Follow, and POV. There is also a record button that have several different functions. Single press records, double press toggles between photo and video, triple press switches from front and rear cameras. On the back there is a trigger button. One press enables object tracking, double press recenters the gimbal, tripe press switches between landscape and portrait modes. On the left side there is a control wheel that can control zoom or the fill light. With the combo package it comes with a case, tripod, and removable fill light to add some extra lighting with several different lighting intensities. The light is easily attached with magnets and works with the wheel or tapping the light itself. I think this makes the combo a no brainer when it comes to purchasing between the two different offerings of this gimbal.Overall thoughts on this new version of the Smooth Q Line is that just as you think they really can’t improve on the gimbal any more they come with new features that really help you get more out of a compact size phone gimbal. This easily is the best entry level gimbal in the marketplace. The introduction of the extendable arm and being able to use all three axis does everything you would need even for an entry level gimbal. It would be hard pressed to find something this gimbal is not capable of as it checks off all the boxes for someone that is not a professional that just wants to get steady video or is a vlogger. The way they designed how it folds up when not in use allows for a compactness that will allow you to take this gimbal with you without the bulk of previous models. For the price all the features and quality it would be hard pressed to find a better gimbal that does everything this one does. I highly recommend this gimbal if it’s your first or if you are upgrading you can’t go wrong with the Smooth Q4.
- I have had several smartphone gimbals from Zhiyun, and this is among the best. I still find the app that Zhiyun uses, ZY Cami in this case, a bit problematic and tend to use a bluetooth connection and run the gimbal with my phones camera app (Samsung S22 Ultra)This is Zhiyuns direct competitor to DJI OM5, and as such, it is far superior, in my opinion. Here is why:a) Handles more payload, and big, heavy phones like iPhone 13 Pro Max are no problem for it. Same with big Android phones like Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra and Note 10+ - I know because I have all three of these and tested all of them with the Smooth Q4.b) the extension is significantly stronger. Its longer, by a large margin, and it has a pivot for even more flexible phone positioning on the extension. With OM5, I didn\'t use it much as it was to wobbly, too weak and not strong enough. The Smooth Q4 is really strong, really amazing and offers way more features.c) The Smooth Q4 is fully featured and will do almost everything that the Smooth 5 top of the line smartphone gimbal does and a much better price point.d) It has a magnetic fill light that is adjustable from the gimbal side wheel from soft, ambient fill, up to cornea-piercing brightness of the sun. Absolutely amazing feature, that detaches in a flash *see what I did there?) and stores separately in the provided semi-hard case. You get magnetic color attachments to add creative flair to all your footage and photos as well.All in all, and outstanding smartphone gimbal able to keep up and even exceed the competition. Well built, solid in the hand and an array of features and functions allowing you to do so much more with the amazing Smartphone Camera\'s we have now. Whether you are an iPhone person or an Android user there is so much here for everyone.On a scale of 1 to 10, this a major GO!
