Zhiyun-Tech’s Smooth-5 Smartphone Stabilizer has been enhanced with features for a more user-friendly and compact design, offering content producers who use their mobile phones for video capture cinema-style capabilities. Focus, zoom, time-lapse, and still photo settings may be controlled by Android and iOS users of the control panel with the help of the free, downloadable ZY Play app for both smartphone and gimbal cameras. With the revised Smooth-5 controls, you can capture videos with less accidental jostling and less touching of the phone’s screen than ever before. The Smooth-5 may be used with nearly any smartphone; it has strong magnetic steel motors, longer battery life, and an increased 3-axis range. Its lightweight, small size also contributes to its mobility when in motion. You may accomplish a range of effect shots, including dolly zoom, reverse shot, time-lapse, and slow-motion, using its user-friendly interface. When the gimbal is not in use or has to be used on a level surface, a small tripod is included. It may be charged while shooting using a power bank that is sold separately, or it can be charged with the USB Type-C charging cable that is provided to take use of the PD rapid charge option for a speedy two-hour charge. Key Features Updated Design The 3-axis gimbal, which is 40% smaller than its predecessor, is a plug-and-play gimbal that is incredibly transportable. Its 3-axis range has been improved to offer 360° limitless panning, 349° tilting, and 300° roll, with free motions from high to low angles. When utilizing ultra-wide angles on your phone, you may take films at these angles without worrying about any obstructions thanks to the design of the rear-mounted motor. Redesigned Mechanisms When combined with ZY Cami, an easy-to-use control panel elevates every photo to a professional level. Strong Motor Function A larger phone clamp and improved algorithms in professional magnetic steel motors guarantee a safer and simpler filmmaking process. Strong compatibility enables the installation of a phone even when using macro, fisheye, telephoto, and wide-angle lenses. Control Panel Friendly to Novices You can do all of your actions and movements using your fingertips. Users now have an improved experience while checking and adjusting the gimbal status and adjusting camera parameters on the fly thanks to a new round-cap joystick, optimized control panel, and adjustment wheel. Dolly Zoom Manoeuvres With a single push, you may flip between focus and zoom to get Dolly Zoom and Shot Reverse Shot. Using the control wheel makes focusing and focal length simple. The ZY Cami app allows for dolly zooming as well. Smart Follow You may begin centering your moving item and enable Smart Follow with a single button click. Additionally, gestures may be used to remotely enable face tracking and control camera recording and photography. Rapid Power The Smooth-5’s 2600mAh battery allows it to operate for up to 12 hours, and utilizing an optional 15W charger requires at least two hours of charging time. A portable power bank may also be used to charge the Smooth-5. The USB Type-C connection on the tilt axis of the gimbal may be used to charge your phone. Magnetic Fill Light Optional On both sides of the new phone clamp, you can attach the optional magnetic fill light for 360° all-around lighting that is supported by an adjustable 5300 to 5700K color temperature. Additionally, light filters can be used to alter the hues.
