📷 Zhiyun Smooth 4: Professional Gimbal Stabilizer for iPhone/Android - Perfect Vlogging & Live Video Kit Review

Android ZY Play has a very serious problem! you have been warned I'm a professional videographer so I know how the equipment works and I have to tell you honestly that this app sucks. I've been patiently waiting for updates to my Samsung Galaxy S8+ and they still haven't fixed it. As of today, here are the things that do NOT work for Android; 1. 4k not working, 1080p not working at 60 fps, time lapse not working, time lapse not working in motion. Also, the app keeps crashing and I can't even…

The full features of stabilizers with ZY Play app are not available for Android devices, especially 4K video. I specifically asked if all the functions of the stabilizer and the ZY play app for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are available through the Revain.com website, which was answered by a Zhiyun official. The response came that all features are available, rest assured; Thank you for your help. After Smooth 4 shipped on April 23, 2018 and others received their order and found some features not…

As of June 1st, 2018: One of the worst half-baked electronics I've ever bought. And a big missed opportunity for the company, they really could get their hands on a piece of the prosumer car market. Such a shame. Works as advertised on iPhone, tested on iPhone 10, everything is there including full 4K video. But on Android, it's a complete disaster. I can't believe they decided to put it out there and advertise it as Android compatible. There is no excuse for that, the product is released…

We use it for social media promotion and portfolio for our construction projects. We've just started using it and I can say that it's ready to use right out of the box. Except that the instruction manual is not really helpful. I usually read the manual (look through it) and build and then intuitively understand how something works. We spent the day frustrated trying to make it work a certain way and then we went in and sat and googled some videos. We saw two official videos and another one from

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8, GoPro 5, my wife has an iPhone 8+. I did my homework, read the pros and cons, watched every YouTube video and bought the Smooth 4. The gimbal itself is worth the money ($119). Yes, the ZY Play Android software needs some tweaking to use it. all functions and modes. I would give five stars if the software on the Galaxy S8 was perfect. I'm sure Zhiyun pays a lot of attention to this issue - they will sell a lot of Smooth 4 if they can fix the Android issues. Before you

Smooth 4 works really well but it has one small flaw and one BIG design flaw. Note. I use it with an Apple iPhone X, so my comments come from that perspective. Secondary is the ZY Play software. It has a few bugs and some features don't work as they should. However, bugs can be fixed and apparently Zhiyun integrates its hardware with Filmic Pro, which seems to be very good software.
