What did I pay for? This product is a failure.

You need to do something with the software, because in this form it is no good. With my smartphone, you can only shoot in the application of the smartphone itself. The ZY Play program, which relies on this steadicam, does not work at all, or stops working right on the go. For example, you press the "Record" button, but the recording does not start, or the volume of the call starts to increase, or it is completely ignored. Or it crashes altogether. The native ZY Play program is ugly translated…

Pros
  • Mechanically very nicely executed, well held in the hand, standard USB-C connector for charging a standard battery type 21700. The battery capacity (4500) corresponds to the declared one. Removable carriage for fixing the smartphone. The small size makes it easy to carry in a jacket pocket. Lots of aluminum in the construction. Easy to ate firmware from PC. The handle has a standard 1/4 tripod thread.
Cons
  • Steadicam's native program is not compatible with my smartphones. Compatibility information is missing from the product page. The native software of ZY Play is terrible. On a compatible (listed) smartphone, the LG G5 does not switch to the wide-angle camera. To charge your smartphone from the stabilizer, you need a non-standard microUSB(F) - USB-C(F) cable. How to do the calibration - has not figured it out yet, not for average minds.

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

In the first week of use, the contacts peeled off from the Type-C connector plate (see photo). The plate itself is not damaged, with no signs of bending or external influence. A pair of connector pins was damaged by the cable due to detachment and the device stopped charging. I applied to M. Video at the place of purchase, where a month later I received the conclusion of the SC about the violation of the rules of operation (! ). Filed a claim. ate: In parallel, I contacted the manufacturer…

Pros
  • Aluminum case, looks brutal. Removable battery. Zhiyun-Tech is an adequate manufacturer who is always ready to help the user.
Cons
  • My copy turned out to be defective in the Type-C connector. If your camera is placed along the center line, the servo drive enters the frame. The service center in 2022 will push the device defect onto you.
