Description
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.
