For content producers who use their mobile phones for video capture, Zhiyun-Tech’s Smooth 5 Smartphone Stabilizer has been revised and redesigned for a more compact and user-friendly experience. The control panel lets Android and iOS users manage both gimbal and smartphone camera features including focus, zoom, time-lapse, and still photo settings when used with the free, downloadable ZY Play app.

The redesigned Smooth 5 controls are simpler to use than ever, necessitating fewer screen touches and less unintentional jostling when recording. The Smooth 5 works with virtually all smartphones and has robust magnetic steel motors, a longer 3-axis range, and better battery life. Its lightweight, compact form aids in mobility when moving. You can do a number of effect shots with it, including dolly zoom, reverse shot, time-lapse, and slow-motion, thanks to its simple-to-use interface. A small tripod is included so that you may utilize the gimbal while it's not in use or for stable shots on a flat surface. It can be charged while shooting using a power bank that is sold separately, and a USB Type-C charging connection is supplied to use the PD rapid charge feature for a speedy two-hour charge.
