Waited long enough to buy.

  • Please take the time to read the manual. (I just translated it in terms of operation) and the Z1 opens its box of tricks.

a good gimbal, does what it's supposed to do.

  • battery life
  • rotate 360° degrees
  • build quality
  • with the ZY play app your phone battery is so empty

This gimbal is my alternative for the DJI osmo mobile 2 because the delivery time of the DJI is very long. I am using the zhiyun smooth 3 at the moment, and I must say that it is a very sturdy device, it fits nicely in the hand. Your phone fits well in the brackets that can be opened quite heavily, logical because your phone should not fall out. With the zhiyun app you can connect to your gimbal very quickly. Filming goes quite smoothly as you can expect from a gimbal.
Unfortunately, there are also some downsides, such as the zoom wheel, zooming in is not as smooth as with the dji, but it goes with tapping.
The active track function also does not work properly, selecting an object is possible, but holding it is very short and quickly loses the object, eventually your gimbal will make very strange movements. You sometimes hear the motors during fast movements, even with the correct balancing. The gimbal with the use of the ZY app on your phone consumes a lot of your battery.
it would also be nice if the manual would be in Dutch, just like the app. That makes everything just that little bit easier. After a while filming your wrists and fingers will start to hurt because of the weight, maybe a matter of getting used to.

  • Solid
  • Drains camera battery

Great Gimbal, especially for this price. The device does what it's supposed to do well. However, when using the accompanying camera app, it will drain your iPhone battery completely in no time. When using another app, you cannot use the camera controls on the Gimbal. Unfortunately, Cool Blue cannot supply the original short cable with which you can recharge your phone from the Gimbal! Other top-up options are clumsy or clumsy.

If it suits your phone, it's a great gimbal for a good price

  • Easy to use
  • Great built quality
  • many options
  • Manual calibration

It was a bit confusing to use the very first time but about after 10 minutes I got used to it. The big downside is that you have to calibrate it manually moving the ballast left/right until it balances. If you miss it by a little bit then it will be tilted to one side. We had an iPhone 6plus and iPhone 7plus in our disposal, we wanted to use the 7 but it was impossible to plug in the microphone there as the ballast is exactly where the port is, and you can't balance it that far off. With a phone that has a microphone port on the side it works perfectly.
