Ahoj! This is Zdenka. It's finally here. Do you have a phone? Do you a large phone? Do you have
a heavy phone? Do you need a gimbal where you can attach lenses like these or filters like these or
other things? Do you need a gimbal where you can actually attach
light to it? Do you need an advanced gimbal which will be working in near future with Filmic
Pro which also has a focus wheel? This is a big deal. This is a big deal. Do you want to win one?
Well, I wasn't planning on saying that that early in the video but since I'm at it,
you need to watch the whole video because there will be 2 hidden questions you need to answer in
order to qualify for this giveaway. Zhiyun sent me 2 gimbals. Zhiyun smooth 5. I'm not being paid to
say certain things, in fact I'm not tied to any brand. I don't have any preference. I'm looking
for an all-around great advanced filming gimbal. This video is a first look, an introduction. In
depth review will be coming up once everything will be finished in terms of software. They are
working on it as we speak right now. So we will discuss the hardware part and what you can load
on it in today's video and once this is compatible and actually working with Filmic Pro, you bet I'll
be making a video on that as well. Let's take it outside but I'm gonna take Android phone Samsung
Galaxy S10 plus just because I'm still waiting for moment case for my iPhone 13 pro so I can attach
all these lenses. But I do have case for the Android phone so let's try it with different lenses.
Now that I tried just the variable ND filter, let's go to another location and let me pull on
an anamorphic lens, see how this can handle the motors, how it's going to work with the anamorphic
lens. Let's go for it. What can we load on this? The official payload range is minimum 150 grams
all the way to maximum payload 300 grams. The clamp is thicker with a deeper slot so it can fit
most of the smartphones with phone cases on. You can film in both horizontal and vertical.
You have to switch it manually though by turning it and then rebalancing it but it's fairly quick.
You only really move it left and right and then the phone. You can attach magnetic
light to it as I was showing before. Actually you can attach two of those. You can also add
color light filters. You can put it here or there on both sides. You can even charge the phone
from this port. I know that some of you might be thinking right now. Yeah, well but
the ports of the phone are covered with the motor right here. And that's actually exactly what I was
thinking too and that's the first thing I said to Zhiyun as well. Their response was that I
should just move the phone to the side if I want to attach a microphone. I did and it's fine. You
actually have a quarter inch threaded hole here on the side where you can attach a microphone,
another light or any accessories you need to use. I don't have any technical specs
for this gimbal yet but I can tell you that it's very light. How smooth is it? Zhiyun says
that it is professional anti-shake performance which is different from anti-shake solution which
is cropping and suppressing image quality. The motors are supposed to be very strong.
Back into winter months. I'll get used to it. I'll get used to it. It's just first time
it always hurts. It's very cold and then once you get used to it, you'll be totally fine. So
I'm filming in 30 frames per second. I got Filmic Pro here and right now I have the anamorphic lens
with VND filter. I know there is no sun. I'm not going to see any streaks but I'll probably run out
in the evening to do some more shots. You will be happy to hear that the pan movement is full
360 degrees. Check this out. You can turn it and turn it and turn it and turn it.
The tilt position is not staying behind. Check this out. So right now actually it's facing down,
the camera and I'm gonna go up. This is how much tilt you're gonna get with this gimbal.
It's literally spinning all around. It's not full 360. I'd say like
330 but it's huge tilt. I don't know when would you actually use something like that and vortex,
yes it is full 360 degrees. You can spin it in both directions.
You can change the speed of the spin. That's what we like to see. Especially me. I like to see that.
All right. So that would be playing a little bit with the anamorphic lens. I have one more lens I can
switch and that will be the tele lens. Yeah, let's just do that for fun. I'm gonna throw
VND filter on it. I want to see if this gimbal can handle the weight. Let's just load it up. I just
realized that I have to give you question number 1 for the giveaway. It's a very simple question.
Don't comment right now because you need to know the second question. You will answer both of them
in the comments section. The first one is: What phone are you currently using?
Look at that setup. Now this is really funny. So this is actually the tele lens with VND filter and
this is a heavy setup. This is like at the borderline when
this is the max you can probably load on this because I have it all the way at the end
and it still is working fine. I just want to do a few shots and see how it's gonna go. The sun is
quite strong right now so let me turn it around again and let's do some shots with this setup.
When I'm using this, I can tell you that it is absolutely smooth
and it's silent. I don't hear any sound from the motors and you can certainly feel that the motors
are strong. It's got all modes, you can switch everything on the gimbal, it's got even a custom
button. The app you would primarily use is ZY Cami app. Most of it is already working,
they still need to get the focus pull going and manual mode wheel going where you can control all
settings like ISO, shutter speed. I cannot wait once this will also work with Filmic Pro. I simply
cannot wait. For those who are eager to check it out, the link is below in the video description.
This comes in two different packages. One is basic budget option which is this one I have
and that only has the gimbal. The other option would be with the light and carrying case.
Now, I have the second question for you: What would you like to learn on this channel when it
comes to photography and a video? What is it you are looking for to learn at this very moment?
Now that you know both questions, you can write the answers below in the comment section and you
will qualify to win Zhiyun smooth 5 gimbal basic package. It doesn't come with the light and case.
This is just the gimbal. Now you also need to be subscribed to this channel. You have exactly 48
hours. The deadline is displayed right here. The winner will be announced in the next video below
in comment section. The comment will be pinned to the top. I hope you liked this first look at
this Zhiyun smooth 5 gimbal. I really cannot wait once it is all finished and is ready to rock and I
can make an official in-depth review. Until then I'll see you on the next video. Cau.... Ahoj....
