Zhiyun Smooth Q2 Review – The New Best Smartphone Gimbal 2019?
I know that there are plenty of smartphone camera stabilizers out there, but most of them are big and bulky, meaning that you don’t always want to bring them with you because of the sheer size. The q2 is really tiny and it fits right into your pocket without sacrificing the performance. I also like its solid construction and all metal built. For example, all of the recent phone gimbals I’ve tested were made of plastic. The QT doesn’t seem to break anytime soon and it simply looks and feels more premium than other gimble’s. Are there, including the DJI Osmo mobile. Another highlight a quick release system which allows you to quickly mount and unmount the phone from the gimbal. I also like that. It’S really comfortable to hold the device in the hand and all the buttons are in the right place. You can switch between pan following lock, follow and POV modes with a click of a button. I also love the responsiveness of the joystick for manual control and LED indicators. Show you which mode you’re in at the first glance. It seems that the QT has a unibody design, but you can actually hot swap the replaceable battery, which lasts up to 16 hours. On a single charge, this is the best battery performance I’ve, seen on a smartphone gimbal. Yet there is USB type c port in case you need to recharge the device, it’s really cool, that you can control your phone right from the gimbal without a need for any apps just connect the QT to your phone via the Bluetooth.
However, if you want to unleash the full potential of the gimbal, the supply AB has object, tracking time lapse and other shooting modes and settings to play with. I found the application to be very smooth and responsive all the time and there were no connectivity issues. The most important aspect of each and every gimbal is the overall performance and the smooth q2 does a wonderful job in this department. The footage comes out really nice and smooth, even if you are just walking, normally really impressive, overall performance. To sum up, I think that the G in smooth q2 is an awesome and easily one of the best smartphone gimbals you can get. Do you agree with me or not?

The Best review of Zhiyun Q 2. Amazing โค๏ธ
And Sir, I have Samsung Note 9 and S10.
Could u suggest the beat gimbal for travel vlogging.
I am considering Osmo 3, Zhiyun Smooth 5 and Q 2
waw๐๐
Is there vertigo and scene transition mood in q2? Pls tell me
Pity not supported by filmic pro which I use. Wanted to avoid getting the more bulky smooth 4
Hey Linus, great overview of the Gimbal. We use the DJI Osmo 2 and it stores the media on the app and you have to export it from there. Is this the same with the Q2 or does it record straight to the phone? Thanks man.
Thanks for great review! Can you adjust the joystick sensitivity? Aka how fast the gimbal turns, moving the joystick?
Did you use any electronic image stabilization or image stabilizer effect on post production?
Stunning! When I had no idea to buy something like this, it made me curious.
Hi. If you hold it vertically does the motor show with the normal lens?
Agreed I had the smooth Q and I loved even tho I was the cheap one. My heart broke when my henge broke
Hi, I have a Samsung A5, do you know if this model is compatible or which one?
Watermelon and ice then into the mixer, sooo tasty.
Curious, if you could only have one and had to pick between this and Osmo 3 for an iPhone, which would you pick sir in 2020?
I love it but it is not available in my locality…aehhehe
please try it with Note 10 plus ๐๐ผ
I like it.
Ultra wide lensโ โ๏ธ๐๐ปโ
have you done it's run test?
Just bought the q2 but it seems the camera of the phone captures the backle of the gimbal plus s10+ is not included in the gimbal system it says it cannot use the features of the q2
Much to short man, explain more. Like how do you switch to de different modes?
๐ป
Does the arm lock when not in use?
Nice, ๐๐battery
You should add a part when running in reviews
Thanks for showing
Am having this gimbal & am using OnePlus 6t to shoot. When you shoot in PF & L mode the gimbal will be in your frame. There is no wide angle lens in my phone still the gimbal's arm is visible in every video i shoot. I think this gimbal is for phones having horizontal camera allignment or cameras at the top corners like iPhone & pixel. Not for phone with vertically aligned camera setup
Everything good until you put the wide angle…
Irรก has zoom?.
Which one do you recommend, smoothq2 ir freevision vilta M ?
next time try it out with midrange devices only with eis no ois. unfold its full potential
Can it be inverted like the Q1?
Very practical for Gopro shooting.
Were you able to adjust the joystick sensitivity so that you can pan, tilt and roll at different speeds?
If use the ultra wide camera do you have any issues the shot being obstructed by the gimbal?
I had the SQ1 loved it until I drown it in the ocean. As a replacement I went for the osmo 2, i've never really been happy with this one. Love the new SQ2 size is a factor the more compact the better for my needs. Great review cheers mate.
Came for the gimbal review… ended up falling in love with the place you filmed at ๐คญ๐ฅฐ
Is it fully compatible with Galaxy S10?
You should rethink whether you need a gimbal at all. For simple camera movements, the EIS in up to date smart phones is more than capable. The only situation I can think of is shooting video in challenging lighting condition (eg at night) where EIS makes everything looked a mess. But how often do you do that? I have learnt not to preorder since getting my Snoppa Atom… most of the time it's gathering dust while they are working out on fixes and updates. The EIS on my Pocofone makes it so convenient and the effect is great although cropped in. And this Zhiyun gimbal is not cheap at all compare to its previous versions.
Nice
I just received Gimbal Smooth Q2 from pre-order.
However, it does not work properly. When I turn it on the 4 lights keep turn on and the Mobile phone does not stable. It should be horizontally itself, but it does not move.
Please teach me how to solve this problem.
Thank you.
Is this the engineering sample or the actual one on sale? bos some reviews are just based on the former one to comment.
Wow. Stunning vid samples and great review. I am heading up to Florida this week to get mine.
Unfortunately not usable with ultra wide lenses at all. The motor is visible in the footage and counterweights are not practical.
It looks like a great small gimbal. Nice review.
Excellent review! I prefer the design and the size to Osmo Mobile 3, but I just wonder which one is smoother when stabilizing?
Can it support smartphone with lens?
Have checked the reviews of ZY Play and it seems to have lots of problems with most smart phones. it's interesting to see there aren't reviews of this app on YouTube, I wonder why ๐ค
How to attach externt mic on this gimble
