Zhiyun Smooth-Q5 ULTRA Smartphone Stabilizer COMBO

The updated SMOOTH-Q5 Ultra Smartphone Stabilizer Combo Kit from Zhiyun has been redesigned for durability, smoother movement, fast mode-switching, and remote control. The same powerful features of its predecessor, including a built-in extension rod, fast mode switching, and gesture control, are present, and it adds voice control and includes a detachable hardware remote controller and an AI tracking module for keeping your subjects in focus and in frame.

 

Operate the Smooth-Q5 Ultra with just one hand with ease, thanks to the improved onboard controls and algorithms. Joysticks, buttons, and wheels control functions like gimbal mode and video recording. The high-torque motors of Smooth-Q5 Ultra can support smartphones up to 10.6 oz and 3.3" wide to provide smooth video movement. It features a new scratch- and stain-resistant finish, and has been redesigned for an even more comfortable grip.

The gimbal display has also been updated to be brighter and easier to read and to use. To extend the gimbal's reach, you can utilize the built-in 8.5" extension rod. The included mini tripod can be attached to the bottom of the gimbal handle for stabilized, hands-free setups.

The gimbal's arm features a built-in fill light for illuminating dim environments. It features up to 226 lux output, and its LED design keeps the gimbal cool.

An included AI tracking module is available separately to provide long-range, hands-free solo recording and precise target recognition and tracking capabilities with multiple remote commands.

It allows you to use additional gestures to control tracking, trigger photo/video start/stop, and customize framing and tracking. It features its own 390mAh battery that lasts up to 3 hours.

Remotely controlling the Smooth-Q5 Ultra, such as switching your filming orientation from landscape to portrait, can be done in four different ways:

• Changing modes is as easy as pressing a button, so you can transition from filming panoramic scenery to filming a TikTok or Instagram video
• The gimbal can start shooting photos or videos by directing simple hand gestures toward the camera.
• Upgraded voice controls allow you to control still capture, record trigger, and orientation switching.
• A new detachable remote controller is included to provide all the controls onboard the gimbal handle, but from up to 32.8' away via Bluetooth. It stores in a slot in the gimbal handle.

The built-in battery supply powers the device for up to 13.5 hours, and a single USB-C input can recharge it in approximately 2 hours or serve as a firmware update port. Even with the fill light on, the gimbal can operate for up to 5.5 hours.
