Can anyone recommend alternative to Zhiyun Smooth 5S that doesn't have a rip off subscription app? Thanks

Thank you for this video comparison. I have the Zhiyun Smooth 4. Unfortunately, this last drop has taken it out! When plugging it into the power source, nothing lights up. I have dropped it repeatedly because of its bulky size, and you are right. It does not fit in most bags. This was an excellent point to bring up to new Gimbal customers. If Zhiyun solved that problem, it would be fantastic! Now, I have to purchase another gimble and fast. As a real estate agent, 70% of what I shoot is indoors, in low light, and with Atlanta weather, that might be closer to 80%. I need to shoot in tight spaces i.e., rooms and closets. What lens and filters do you recommend for an iPhone 13 if I want to use the 5s? By the way, thanks for the recommendation for the Aputure MC Pocket RGB Light with Magnets.

Super solid review!

hey buddy, I havent tested this, heres what i think tho (take it for a grant of salt don't want to mislead you) the recommended weight is 330g. so anywhere around that is ok. give or take abit. promax i think is under 250g so with case and lens it should be ok. HOWEVER, i believe due to size of promax and lens, it will shift the weight too heavy to one side, so you need to balance it right. delicate situation but i think on the smooth 5s it should be ok. TRy it out , also i think zhiyun offer return policies if they fail to support your setup

is it iphone's stabilization while running or stab? i mean iPhone also has good stabilization

Don't use the Zhiyun Smooth 5S for Samsung S23 Ultra. Maybe not even any Android phone in general because the Apps the gimbals uses, are not compatible with a lot of the functions. The Smooth 5S clamps barely open enough to fit a 6.8inch screen (which my Ultra model has) and the design of the clamps put pressure on your screen corners its holding. This resulted in my new S23 Ultra screen cracking the first time I used this gimbal. Save yourselves the trouble.

Thanks for your review. I think you shouldn't recommend this Smooth 5S in your " honest review" at all. I am looking for a first gimball to use with my iPhone 14 Pro but this is definitely not for any serious work with iPhones as it won't hold the weight of a cage (Beastgrip or even the lighter Smallrig) with lens and shotgun. You say somewhere in the comments that the 5S can hold 330 grams which is practically just the weight of the phone. As a matter of fact, after having watched the review, I really think people should just buy a good selfie stick and use a cam app with good stabilisation mode such as Beastcam rather than buy this gimbal. Seeing the price, it's better to get an older model of a more professional gimball or spend a bit more and get a more decent gimball such as the Weevil 3S. As for using the iPhone on its own I think its' silly to spend over £200 on something that will be nothing but a toy as using iPhone without lenses ,ND filters and a real shotgun will limit the quality of the shooting considerably.

Dang, at first I would be like, yup DJI ftw, but nope, that one has tilt limitations far worst than this Wish there was a better action camera [ that doesn’t fall prey to the over heating issues that ALL action camera fall for ] And the gimbals, well, using an iPhone 14pM, makes me a bit nervous , regarding the grip strength and the stability. For anyone who has bought this, with the 14pM, does Vlogging on a motor bike get dangerous ? As in road bumps and what not ?

Why wouldn't I buy it? In general I see that your opinion is positive.

Is this an Iphone 14 pro Max? I tried the Gimbal with my Iphone 14 Pro Max and it was literally crying. The motors couldnt handle the phone and the phone is so big that you cant move it around to all positions while it is in portrait mode..

yeah gimbals dont have the Z axis control

The fact that apps are by subscription only AND that tiny, impossible to use outside mode display, make this a no-keeper. Sent mine back. If I can't tell which mode I'm in, then this is useless. If I have to rent software in order to take a full advantage of this thing, after spending almost $200 is just pure greed.

DO NOT buy a Smooth 5 S. I just did and on the latest and greatest Android phones we tested the apps are still garbage and only good for 30 fps including in 1080P which is insanely bad!! StaCam, ZyPlay, ZyCam all of them DO NOT WORK on an S22, S23, Note 9, Note 10, Pixel 6, a couple different LG phones, so yeah it stinks if you are an android user. YOU are FORCED to use the phone's native camera app to record at anything 60 fps, 1080 4K 60.. NONE of those work on the Zhiyun apps. They have NOT worked since the Smooth 4 many years ago and though there have been thousands of requests to fix this, they have not and seem to not care to fix it. That said, surprise... the OSMO 4, 5, 6 all have the same issues. If you have Android, you are stick with your phone's own camera app and will NOT be able to use any of the features of the gimbals mentioned. DJI or Zhiyun... same crap, and yes, the same goes for the Moza. NONE of those mfg's have a fix for the basics of the basics in Android 1080 P 60 fps or 4K 60.... what a stupid oversight How far behind now is Zhiyun on their app supported devices...? The last shown NEW phone on their own PDF of supported devices is the S21 which is already a 2 Year old phone!! IF you do not have iOS device, you will NOT be happy with this gimbal or the supporting apps. IF you choose to use it with the native camera app, it is a nice gimbal that beats the OSMO in many ways for it's ability to support more weight. As for the apps, I read Filmic Pro HAS broken the 60 fps barrier, but their limit on Samsung is the telephoto lens option.. but all Wide modes do work... So again it shows these gimbal makers haven't even tried!!!
