    The Zhiyun - Smooth Q Smarthphone Gimbal Stabilizer will turn your smartphone camera into a Professional Video Camera. And the gimbal will provide you the tools to create the Cinematic Film look you'd want to make while challenging the technology to make it possible.

    The gimbal worked as advertised and provided done very smooth footage. Unfortunately the App is terrible. I tried both Android and iOS apps and couldn't get the gimbal to link to either phone (including two different iPhones). I returned the gimbal and will likely pick up an Osmo 3.

    I used this on vacation to shoot video with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone. It works very well, producing very steady video. The only drawback is that the S8+ is large and I had to remove it's protective case to get it to fit into the gimbal.

    My kids play a lot of sports and I try to film their games. Using this gimbal with my phone eliminates the shakiness of holding the phone. I will admit, however, that after about 30 minutes my hand does get tired so I try to stretch my arms during timeouts.

    We use this to shoot video of my wife's business where she builds and hand-letters wood signs, so this stabilizer has been amazing to make those videos more professional. It charges fairly quickly and is easy to learn to use. Highly recommend!

    It claims to be compatible with Samsung S7. For a while I was able to make it work with all functions. I came back the next day and when I began recording videos they would not play back in either the OEM app or the Samsung video player. Trying to go online to get help is mostly in Chinese. There is no tech support hotline to call at least they didn't answer during the day on Monday. Additionally my camera is 4K capable and yet the app only lets me select up to 1080p. I also am not able to record the videos directly to the SD chip in my phone, so my internal memory filled up very quickly. I have a nearly empty 128gb SD card that this device cannot access.

    I have never owned a camera stabilizer in my life, so every video I have made is shaky and blurry. Once I started using this stabilizer both with my phone and my GoPro videos have been clear and smooth.

    Excellent Product and don’t get the 4/5 star wrong but they should have a section in the info or specs area to let you know what phone fits I have a IPhone XS Max and 11 Pro Max they both Barely fit for the gravity part. There is a newer model for the bigger phones and I wish I knew that from the beginning
