  1. This was a nice and simple video, thank you. However, for some reason all of a sudden the Zhiyun just "disconnects" or something and then the phone drops. And, none of the buttons work either on the Zhiyun – even though I am connected via bluetooth with the app. I have a Samsung Note 8. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong? Thank you =)

  2. don,'t buy this stuff… in combination with galaxy s7/s8 and this fuc…. app zy-play it doesn't work. no 4k, no really good runing panorama only one issue after the other. it's not worth it. i think the new osmo is the better choice.

  3. Charge tutorial
    – Connect the cables, when the yellow led stop blink it's fully charged. (so if yellow blinks, continue to charge it).
    – How long does it take to charge it? (I dont know, please comment how long it takes)

  4. I have had my Smooth Q for sometime and was using it with the S7 Edge, worked fine. I am now trying to use it with the S9 Plus but It won't record or take photos. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

  5. Is that okay using smartphone with OIS camera to smooth Q? Or the OIS will ruin the motor to work perfectly?What about ZY play, Android seems don’t work as good as the iOS, bluetooth lost connection happens a lot. I plan to buy iphone X or Samsung S9. Thanks Zhiyun

  6. Intro music still has Audio Jungle watermark, what’s up? You really need to purchase this music legally to use, this does not reflect well on the integrity of your company!

  7. Hi Zhiyun-tech, If I use USB wall charger with charging current of max. 2000mAh, this is not harmful to the battery or electronics? To charge my phone, I did connect normal USB to micro usb cable on bottom and phone, now the phone is not charging. Have tried other phone and also othter cable, why does my phone not charge? Thank you in advance.

  8. It reflects poorly on your company that this video contains a pirated audio track from AudioJungle. You can clearly hear their 'watermark' in the first few seconds of your video. Not cool.

  9. When I balance my iPhone 6s+, the gimbal cannot swing 360 degrees without hitting the bottom since I need to expand the arm out so far. Am I doing something wrong here or is this correct behavior?

  10. How do you lock the motor closest to the camera into one position? I want to lock the motor perpendicular to the handle so that I can move the camera left or right (from the handle) without having that one specific motor rotating around (since it focuses into one location). The main reason I got this stabilizer is to get rid of the up-down shaking from my hand.

  11. The background music is very annoying and makes it difficult the hear the narration. You should be trying to inform the user, not entertain them.

  12. I am unable to use the Smooth-Q
    I have downloaded the windows 10 all software but the software is not working
    and the Android application is also in Chinese language, how to change that?

  13. Hello, I just bought my first Zhiyun smooth q and I'm very confused about the charging. Am I supposed to charge it before I use it for the first time or is it fully charged? Right now I've put it on charge and there's a flashing orange/yellow light. I don't know what this means and the manual doesn't make a lot sense.

  14. I just got my new Smooth Q but… I don't know how to charge it , I mean with the cable directly to a computer or to a cell phone charger? Do I have to charge it more time in the first charge?

  15. I think I'd trust this company a bit more if they at least paid for their intro music, rather than using the sample music that still has the "Audio Jungle" watermark in it.
