Type of review

Difficult to calibrate. There are practically no instructions. Calibration tools exist, but there are no instructions on how to use them. Can be calibrated manually or with a digital instrument. Haven't figured it out yet but other than that it works fine. There are three main settings on the joystick. Each works well for holding still at a point in space or moving around like you would. The stabilizer will enhance your videos.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Appearance

Do you want a 3-axis gimbal for your smartphone? Your search is over!

I've been using this gadget for a while now and am still very impressed with it. Always striking and has made some great home videos that look better than you would normally expect from a phone camera. Highly recommended. I'm also glad I chose II over C as I think the extra features made it more enjoyable to use. This thing hit the ground a few times and wasn't that gentle with it, but it keeps walking like a beast! Definitely worth it.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Go to old

In general I'm happy!

Overall great fit and finish. The block will not fold for storage with the counterweight installed. This is a minor issue, but it takes longer to get the device working after it's been taken out of storage. The device is easy to use. The mobile app is a little clunky and lacks some valuable features (like time-lapse photography), but you can certainly use whatever camera/video app you prefer. You just don't get Bluetooth integration and camera control via buttons on the gimbal. never mind

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Unreliable, sorry.

Thing works and works well - when it works. Unfortunately, there is simply no reliability - not even for a holiday trip. Forget professional use. I've balanced mine absolutely perfectly and so far the unit just turns on and crashes regularly. I changed the battery, updated the firmware, calibrated, etc. Didn't help. This is after getting my first one back as a DOA. It's too expensive to be disposable, but it seems so. They come with a new block every year and you can forget about any updates or

Feed it to a "rotten apple " from the group

So this is an updated review as my first experience with stabilizers was not good. Put it on "a bad apple". I immediately notified the seller as it had only been a month from receipt to the gimbal's death. First of all I take my hat off to the seller, communication is +. I have described the problem, sent photos and returned my original item. It has taken some time due to email correspondence. I finally received my new stabilizer and I am still completely satisfied! I would definitely recommend

Great product but it stopped working after only 9 months.

I really liked the quality of this gimble. Worked for 9 months and stopped working for unknown reasons. A motor gets hot, as does the button around the switches. Hopefully I can have my third party replace it under warranty! I was also unhappy that a month after I received mine, Zhiyun released another gimble at half the price of mine. So I just found out that Duoda Digital is not honoring my 1 year warranty on this gimble I bought from them through Revain! I had it for 8 months and they don't…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

By far the best stabilizer for your smartphone

This is David A. Cox, also known as the founder of Tech Talk America. I made a video review of Smooth 1 ALMOST, but changed my mind at the last minute because it had a major flaw. constant need for recalibration. Based on my five star rating, you probably guessed it, but this version fixed it. I love Smooth 2, and to give you an idea, I've had all the competition for this product (except for the Osmo, which I tested but wasn't impressed). It's the perfect accessory for any amateur filmmaker who

Works great video and photo with Iphone 7plus

yes i like this stabilizer before i decided to use it i spent a lot of time reading revain reviews web forums and youtube compared to others on the market too to study. . I have to say that all of these suspensions evoke so much love and hate that they are being pulled in all directions. When I chose and received Zhiyun, I was impressed with the professional packaging of the device. The instructions could have been more detailed, but I've seen worse, but that doesn't get in the way of this…

This really is a 4.9 star rating - almost perfect.

This is truly a 4.9 star rating. I just couldn't give it 4.9 stars so I rounded up to 5 stars and I'll explain why in a few minutes. In fact, I really like the Zhiyun Smooth-II 3-axis gimbal. I think this is probably the best 3-axis gimbal for smartphones today. It looks and feels like a quality product. It was delivered exactly as described in the Revain description, with one notable exception. It contained a very good (Panasonic NCR18650B) 3400mAh (12.85Wh) flat Li-Ion battery which was not…

Pros
  • Very good quality
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
