Zhiyun Smooth 5 Combo Gimbal Stabilizer

The Zhiyun Smooth-5 Smartphone Stabilizer from Zhiyun-Tech has been redesigned to deliver a more compact, intuitive, and professional filming experience for mobile content creators. Designed for cinematic smartphone videography, the Smooth-5 works seamlessly with the free ZY Play app, allowing both Android and iOS users to control gimbal and camera functions such as focus, zoom, time-lapse, and photo settings directly from the control panel. The updated interface minimizes the need to touch the smartphone screen, reducing accidental shakes during recording.

Compatible with most smartphones, the Smooth-5 features durable magnetic steel motors, improved battery performance, and an extended 3-axis stabilization range. Its lightweight and compact construction makes it ideal for creators on the move. Users can easily create advanced cinematic effects including dolly zooms, reverse shots, slow motion, and time-lapse videos. The package also includes a mini tripod for stable tabletop shooting or safe storage when not in use.

The device supports PD fast charging through the included USB Type-C cable, allowing the stabilizer to recharge in approximately two hours. It can also be powered while filming using a separately available power bank, ensuring uninterrupted shooting sessions.

One of the standout features of the Smooth Q5 Ultra is its detachable wireless voice remote control. This innovative controller supports voice commands within a 10-meter range, enabling users to activate functions such as photo capture and video recording simply by saying “Hey Cami.” This feature is especially useful for solo creators capturing group photos, follow shots, or complex camera movements without assistance.

The gimbal also introduces motion sensing control for a more immersive shooting experience. By holding the wireless remote and rotating the wrist while pressing the joystick, users can remotely control the direction of the gimbal smoothly and naturally without fumbling for onboard controls.

An advanced AI tracking module enhances subject tracking with improved stability and accuracy. The gimbal supports gesture controls for hands-free photo and video recording, making long-distance shooting easier and more efficient. The AI tracking system has an effective detection range of up to 5 meters, while gesture control works within a range of 0.5 to 3 meters.

For enhanced versatility, the Smooth Q5 Ultra includes a built-in extension rod that extends up to 8.5 inches, making it perfect for group selfies, wide landscape shots, and overhead filming. Additionally, the integrated high-power fill light delivers up to 226 Lux of brightness, helping creators achieve clear footage in low-light environments without carrying extra accessories.

The foldable design allows the gimbal to collapse into a compact size of 6.3 × 4.3 × 2.05 inches, making it easy to store in a backpack or even a pocket. Weighing only 390 grams, it remains comfortable for long handheld shooting sessions, making it ideal for travel, hiking, parties, and everyday use.

Battery performance is another strong advantage of the Smooth Q5 Ultra. Under light usage, it can operate for up to 13.5 hours on a single charge. Even with intensive use and the fill light enabled, it still offers up to 5.5 hours of runtime, supporting full-day creative work. The stabilizer is compatible with most Android and iOS smartphones weighing between 170g and 300g.

The Smooth Q5 Ultra uses a 3-axis anti-shake stabilization system powered by an upgraded motor algorithm that delivers wider filming angles and smoother movement. Its optimized motor structure and reinforced phone clamp securely support a wide variety of smartphones while enabling stable shooting from low, wide, and dynamic angles.

An upgraded magnetic fill light system supports the installation of dual 5500K stepless dimming fill lights on both sides of the phone clamp. The lights can also be mounted directly onto the smartphone and used together with multiple color filters to achieve creative lighting effects.

The professional control panel and adjustment wheel allow users to fine-tune camera parameters quickly and accurately. A newly added round joystick enhances movement control, while the adjustment wheel can be used to manage focus and focal length with precision for more professional filming results.

The package includes the phone gimbal stabilizer, wireless remote control, AI tracking module, dual-ended USB-C cable, and a tripod. The device supports shooting modes such as SmartFollow, Gesture Control, Timelapse, and Panorama. It records video in MP4 format, supports 16:9 aspect ratio filming, and features built-in image stabilization for smoother video capture.
