Zhiyun Smooth-Q4 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer
The Smooth-Q4 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer from Zhiyun-Tech offers many of the same gimbal modes and recording functions as its predecessor with the added benefit of a built-in extension rod for content creators who are on the move. The Smooth-Q4 can support smartphones up to 9.9 oz and 3.5" wide. Its companion Android/iOS smartphone app features a slew of templates, editing tools, and control functions to fulfill your creative vision. Switching between landscape and portrait modes is as easy as pressing a button, so you can transition from filming panoramic scenery to filming a TikTok. The built-in battery supply powers the device for up to 15 hours and a single USB-C input can recharge it in 2.5 hours or serve as a firmware update port.
Expandable Form Factor for Intuitive Shooting
Operate the Smooth-Q4 with just one hand, thanks to the improved onboard controls and comfortable handgrip. Joysticks, buttons, and wheels control functions like gimbal mode and video recording. Various indicator lights on the gimbal display the current mode or power level. Extend the gimbal's reach with the built-in 8.5" extension rod. A mini tripod can be attached to the bottom of the Smooth-Q4 for stabilized, hands-free setups. Secure a separately available magnetic fill light to the gimbal for dim environments.
