Our editorial take on the Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S Pro Smartphone Stabilizer Combo (Gray)
The Zhiyun-Tech SMOOTH 5S Pro Smartphone Stabilizer Combo is an updated three-axis gimbal designed for smartphone videography. It includes a magnetic fill light, a carrying bag, a wrist strap, and a 1-year Zhiyun Prime membership as part of its 'Combo' designation. Key updates to the stabilizer itself include an integrated fill light, upgraded motors, a new algorithm, and a wider clamp, suggesting improvements in usability and device compatibility.
With a stated load capacity of 5.3 to 10.6 ounces and support for smartphones 2 to 3.5 inches tall and up to 0.4 inches thick, it accommodates a range of modern phones. The inclusion of a built-in 2600 mAh battery offers a substantial runtime of 2.5 to 24 hours depending on usage. While it supports mobile apps like ZY Cami, StaCam, and Filmic Pro for both Android and iOS, the lack of environmental resistance means it is primarily suited for use in controlled conditions.
The single handgrip design with a slanted configuration, combined with 360-degree pan and 260-degree tilt rotation, offers flexibility for various shooting angles. The additional 1/4"-20 female accessory mount provides options for expanding its functionality. Those considering this unit should evaluate whether its specific feature set aligns with their content creation needs.
