Review on πŸ“± Zhiyun Smooth Q3 Combo - Foldable Phone Gimbal Stabilizer, 3-Axis Handheld Stabilizer with Light Auto Inception, Dolly-Zoom, Time-Lapse, and Gimbal Bag by Jaleel Pruitt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good stabilization, almost excellent. Affordable and suitable for large phones. The app needs an overhaul.

Product rendering 9/10 The stabilizer has a very solid construction, is very slim and looks like a small form factor. This can be a very complex device for those new to gimble, so the product should have a minimalist layout that makes it as easy and intuitive to use as your product. USB-C connectivity is a great feature that should be standardized across all serviced devices. This shows consumers that manufacturers have only recently integrated USB-C into their product designs. Ease of use 8/10 It took a few tries for the gimbal to stabilize. correct, but that was because I didn't set the stabilizer properly before turning it on. Here's a pro tip I wasn't aware of, but you must fully extend the "arm" when using it as it has connecting pins that need to touch for the stabilizer to work. Once plugged in, turn it on and it works right away. You have 4 stabilization modes to choose from and what I really like about this device is that it has a "selfie" mode with a selfie light. Very nice touch. Conclusion I really liked the design of this gimble, it feels sturdy and has few buttons so it doesn't confuse the user, but it does have a few downsides. The selfie light is also a good idea for those who are vlogging or chatting with callers in a dark place. The provided app disappointed me the most for its design and layout alone, apart from being able to honestly use the stabilizer without having to use the app. The app simply allows for more customization of the gimbal. All in all, it does what it's designed to do and does it well. Once I use this a bit more extensively I will update this review accordingly.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
