Review: 1st TIME COMMERCIAL USE Experience & Tech/Usage Insights - Researched many YT videos that compared handheld gimbals vs steadicams. Attempting to use more mobile phone shooting moving forward (instead of my DSLR), and wanting an affordable yet effective unit on my first gimbal, and glad ZY Smooth 4 caught my attention. It beat DJI's Osmo due to price point, functionality and availability. I'm glad I picked up the ZY Smooth 4 about a couple of months prior to my first commercial production with it, which was purely unintentional. My local client, who's a speaker, who's also a very active person, felt uncomfortable/nervous sitting in front of a camera. To give her peace of mind, I suggested a walk on the river, while we talked and I would shoot the video on the gimbal. She loved the idea and settled on a date and early morning meetup at the river so we would have less foot traffic at that time. Both of us preferred this "walk and talk" video style. For her, it was natural to do this as an active person, much like speaking to a girlfriend while out for a walk. For me, I knew this would get her blood flow moving, reduce nerves, and the natural morning light (vs afternoon harsh light) was good for the shoot. Believe it or not, we shot 2 videos (one was a Welcome video, and the other was an About video), both only required 1 take each! LOL! We produced the first video walking the river one way, then turned back and shot the 2nd video going the other way 😁 Here's some insights on the Smooth 4: - The ZY Smooth 4 build is impressive. Has weight in your hands, but not so heavy to strain your hands/arms on a longer shoot. - The ZY company is consistently working on upgrades to the ZY App, which is good to see - ZY does provide information in the booklet on setup and usage, however, I found most value in YT videos from other users showcasing functionality and use cases - Key Tip: Balance your iPhone in the bracket BEFORE powering on the Smooth 4 unit. - Recent News: Filmic Pro app now works well with the Smooth 4. Check out YT for how to use it with Smooth 4. - Battery life is solid and long-lasting. Since my first charge of the Smooth 4 unit, the battery has held strong. In fact, my iPhone battery dies much faster, naturally due to shooting video. If you can, get the lightning cable to connect your iPhone to the Smooth 4, so you can keep your iPhone charged while shooting video. - I appreciate the screw on tripod legs that come with the Smooth 4, for laying on a flat surface. I'm about to get an Insta360 ONE panoramic camera, and I can envision sitting my iPhone in the Smooth 4 phone bracket, and setting the Smooth 4 on a taller tripod, so I can shoot the 360 away and out of sight. This way, I have both my Pano camera, and my ZY for video shooting if the client calls for that added service. Here's some insights on the videoshoot with the Smooth 4: - Until I started playing with the Smooth 4 video quality settings, I didn't clue in that my iPhone 6S could shoot in 4K. - Tried shooting in 4K, but its a storage hog. Will shoot 1080p next time. - The video footage will store in the ZY app, and you'll need to then transfer it from ZY app to your iPhone's media library. As such, I highly recommend dumping as much "stuff" off your iPhone prior to the shoot for more storage room. - In shooting with 4K, I only had room for 2-3 videos before I ran out of room and phone battery. Hence no B-roll in the above videos. - Had troubles exporting from ZY app library to iPhone Photo Library due to space shortage. After dumping more media and apps, I could transfer 1 x 4K video, import to Macbook Air, delete it off ZY & Photo Library, then transfer/import the next 4K video. May also try shooting 1080p next time. Or a bigger capacity iPhone. 😜 - Highly recommend you get the lightning charge cable to continually charge your iPhone while shooting. - Bring along your laptop or external drive to dump footage off your iPhone, so you can continue shooting more footage. Unless you only care about a short shooting window. - My Zoom audio with Sennheisser wireless lav was unusable due to fabric shifting sounds from walking. So what you hear is my iPhone audio, not too shabby. Hope this helps you in your decision whether to grab your own unit of the Smooth 4 :-)
Review: Still loving this! - This is my first gimbal and I am impressed with the built, features and functions. I was going to purchase the Smooth Q until I heard about the Smooth 4 coming out soon. The price is great! Lower than previous model. I am glad that I waited for a few weeks. It is a must-have for all video makers if you record on your smartphone. It feels good in your hands and operating is very simple. The 4 modes provide want I need. It is packaged well in a nice protective lightweight case. One bonus free gift not mentioned in the description but in the box with a note saying to choose a charging cable depending on what phone you have. ( update: I was told that the charging cable is under development and will be sent out once it is available). Just send them a message thru Facebook with your choice of USB Type C or Micro USB or Lightning. I heard some have issues with ZY Play app for Android devices. I have tested this on my Samsung S7 for 2 days and it has worked great. I also have the LG V30 which I will try later. I can not comment on battery life yet since its too soon. I will continue to update my experience once I learn more about its features and capabilities. I want to add that I got excellent support from Zhi Yun team on Facebook. They said for me to notified them when I have any issues. This tells me they really care as a customer and wants their customers to be satisfied with the product and service. Below are photos taken by me. Update: May 2020. Still loving this device. I have switched my phones and have used it on my Samsung S10 (see photo added), Note 10 and Huawei P20 Pro. These phones have better cameras that complement this gimbal. There were some software hic-ups like freezes or app closes but most are addressed with updates. I also received the bonus charging cable by mail. Good quality cable and it was used to keep me shooting longer. Having this gimbal for almost 2 years, I would say it's been great. However, I would like a new model to be smaller and lighter. I like to pack things light as I travel. I can't wait to give that a try.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this indoors to track my daughter riding her horse? Or outdoor while my son races dirt bikes?**
A: I am looking for something to do the same thing!  My hands get tired holding my phone recording my daughter riding and jumping.  Did you get this?  Is it helpful?

**Q: Can i use with gopro as well.?**
A: Hi, yes. Suggest you to purchase a gopro plate to use with it. The plate for Smooth 4 may be released later.

**Q: I've noticed many bad reviews about android app. i would like to know if this app is necessary to record the movies, edit them or both?**
A: The only way to use any of the controls on the gimbal are by using the app. The Android app with my Samsung S8 is garbage. Will only let you record in 720P. Sure you can still record using the camera app on the your phone, but none of the gimbal controls will work. Fortunately for me I didn't buy this, just borrowed from my brother.

**Q: Can you shoot 4k with samsung phones with the android zy play app?**
A: Galaxy Notte 9 the app indicates its recording 720p but files are recording in 4k when selected in the settings. I have checked the file info in post.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very smooth stabilization, great for phone video
*by V***A on February 28, 2026*

I bought the Zhiyun Smooth 4 gimbal when I started getting more into video and wanted something to stabilize my phone footage. It made a big difference compared to handheld recording, especially for walking shots and outdoor videos. The stabilization works really well once you get it balanced correctly. It takes a little time to learn the controls at first because there are a lot of buttons, but after using it a few times it becomes pretty easy to use. The build quality feels solid and not cheap, and it holds the phone securely. I mainly used this for travel videos, family events, and some basic content recording, and the footage came out much smoother than I expected from a phone. The tripod that comes with it is also useful when you want to set it down for steady shots. The only downside is the setup can feel a little complicated at first, especially if you’ve never used a gimbal before, and the app takes a little getting used to. Once everything is set up though, it works great. Overall this is a very good stabilizer for anyone doing phone video, vlogging, or just wanting smoother footage without carrying a full camera rig.
