Full details
The Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo is designed for content creators and mobile filmmakers who require professional-grade stabilization for their smartphones. Its standout benefit is the combination of powerful magnetic steel motors and an integrated fill light, allowing for smooth, well-lit footage in a variety of environments. While the gimbal offers exceptional creative control, the robust feature set requires a moderate learning curve for beginners to master the control panel and the ZY Cami app.

FAQs
Does the Smooth 5S support all smartphones?
It supports most modern smartphones, especially those with larger screens and external lenses, provided they fall within the specified payload limits.
Can I use the fill light while the gimbal is charging?
Yes, but it is recommended to prioritize charging the gimbal before long filming sessions.
Is the external LED light included in the combo required for the gimbal to work?
No, the external LED is an accessory to augment the built-in light, but it is not required for the gimbal's stabilization functions.
How long does the battery last?
The runtime varies based on payload weight and the use of the fill light, but it is designed for extended professional use.
Do I have to use the ZY Cami app?
While basic stabilization works without it, the app is required for features like smart tracking, firmware updates, and advanced camera controls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your smartphone is centered correctly in the clamp before powering on the device. Balance is crucial for motor longevity, so take a moment to adjust the axis position until the phone remains stable when the gimbal is off. The ZY Cami app should be downloaded and paired via Bluetooth to unlock the full range of creative modes. For maintenance, keep the magnetic motors free of sand or dust. Always store the gimbal in the included carry case when not in use, and use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior surfaces. Avoid using any chemical cleaners or water directly on the motors.
