Review: A compact design Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer at its best - The Zhiyun Smooth 5 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer is a compact and powerful 3-axis gimbal designed for serious filmmakers who demand high-quality, stable footage. After using the product for a few weeks, I'm excited to share my in-depth review, structured into 5 sections. Unboxing and Initial Impressions: Upon unboxing the Zhiyun Smooth 5, I was immediately impressed by its robust construction and sturdy feel. The materials used for this gimbal are a significant upgrade from the plastic of its predecessor, the Smooth 4. The Smooth 5's design caters to larger and heavier smartphones, with a phone clamp that has a deeper slot and a weight capacity of up to 300 grams. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of smartphone models, even those with cases and additional lenses attached. Design and Ease of Use: Setting up the Smooth 5 was generally straightforward, with lockable arms for secure storage and easy unlocking for use. While balancing the phone on the gimbal can be slightly fiddly, once the phone is properly positioned, the gimbal performs admirably in delivering stable and smooth footage. Access to the phone's ports can be an issue depending on the phone model, but with some adjustments, this can be managed without compromising the gimbal's performance. The well-placed controls, including the mini joystick for smooth panning and the easy-to-reach power button, provide an enjoyable user experience. The charging port, however, is covered by a protective flap that can be challenging to handle one-handedly. Portability and Accessories: The Smooth 5's portability is enhanced by its carrying case, which comes with the Combo version. The case is lightweight, protective, and more compact than previous models, making it easier to transport your gimbal. The included mini tripod, wrist strap, and magnetic light with color filters further increase the gimbal's versatility, catering to various filming situations and lighting conditions. Filming Performance: The Zhiyun Smooth 5 excels in its filming capabilities, offering seamless integration with the manufacturer's iOS camera app. This grants users full control over the filming process, from starting and stopping recording to switching between different modes at the press of a button in the gimbal's control section. The magnetic fill light, while suitable for selfies and close-up content, may not provide enough illumination for more distant subjects. However, the gimbal's overall performance, combined with its user-friendly controls and compatibility with various smartphone models, make it an excellent tool for content creators and filmmakers alike. My Verdict: The Zhiyun Smooth 5 Gimbal Stabilizer is an excellent choice for new users seeking a rugged, versatile, and user-friendly gimbal for their smartphone. Its impressive features, solid construction, and thoughtful design make it a valuable addition to any filmmaker's toolkit. While upgrading from the Smooth 4 may not be necessary, those looking for a new gimbal will undoubtedly appreciate the enhanced performance and usability that the Smooth 5 offers.
