Free downloadable ZY Play app enables Android and iOS users to control both Gimbals and smartphone camera functions such as focus, zoom, time-lapse, and still photo settings. A dedicated “Vertigo” function emulates the perspective-shifting, dolly/zoom effect dear to many filmmakers. It is more ergonomically laid out and better labeled with icons compared with Zhiyun Smooth-3. There is a significantly larger focus/zoom wheel for PhoneGo mode to quickly grab the action with smooth transmission. The functions of multiple time-lapse and object tracking also bring you more shot inspiration. It supports smartphone weighing up to 7.4 oz and measuring up to 3.35″ high, offers 300-degree pan, 240-degree roll and 240-degree tilt for nimbly capturing action shots or smoothly gliding along with more tranquil scenes.
Zhiyun Smooth 4 is powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, featuring a runtime up to 12 hours. A USB Type-C port on the handgrip enables you to add a separately available power pack to extend your shooting time. An LED display indicates power statues. Included mini tripod and designed 1/4″-20 female thread on the handgrip bottom can bring you better-using experience by compatible accessories.
