The SMOOTH 5S Smartphone Vlogging Stabilizer from Zhiyun-Tech has been updated with a powerful integrated fill light, upgraded motors, a new algorithm, and a wider clamp. It features 360° rotation, and with support for larger smartphones weighing 5.3 to 10.6 oz and measuring 0.4" thick and 2 to 3.5" wide, the SMOOTH 5S will even support select external lens/smartphone combinations. A wider space between each of the three axes enables you to create more extreme, cinematic angles.
Designed for one-person capture, this gimbal stabilizer also offers intuitive panel control, quick-switch modes, a robust runtime of up to 25 hours, and fast PD charging of only two hours. Compatibility with three mobile apps geared towards users of various levels enables you to live stream, control focus, and create time-lapse, cloning, dolly/zoom, and slow-motion effects.
