Today Im Going To Show You A Compact

gimbal by company called Zuu and this is the model smooth Q2 and it’s the smallest that they have on offer. Now this gimbal. I got it from Amazon for about a hundred pound, and it’s one of the smallest one that I can find. There is loads of video on the internet about how to use this product. So I’m just going to show you what is in the box and what do I find about using this gimbal and compared to the couple of game balls which I have tested.

Ill Put The Link On The

description and you can have it check it out and I have to say. This is a much better version of a compact gimbal Now this one here in mate of metal construction, which is really sturdy and compared to the previous one that. I have tested this one can do 360 on these on this kind of a panning axle, so this unlock a lot more a possibility of what kind of video that you can do with this. For example, I no longer have to worry about panning and then they stop because the motor doesn’t go beyond a certain point. This one actually clip can go one like 360 around and around.

  • 360

There Is No Limit On How Many

rotation these that’s read this another cool feature that because of this 360 rotation you can do actually a kind of a twisting angle, so I’m going to show you that to you in a minute. Basically. The foam can actually twist 360 and it’s like a spiral kind of short. Now I always it’s also come with this little foam holder thing is saying here that you know you can take. off the phone and use it to make a phone call without having to take it like off the gimbal off the hook, but what I find is very useful for is I sometime find it very difficult to mount the phone wow.

This Thing Is Already On The Gimbal.

So now you can take your time and set it up without the dim book and once you had it locked on and where you want it and then you can mount it on there quite easily now out of the box. One of the things I really don’t like about this Gimbal is the actual catch of the phone holder. Nowadays phone is quite slim lined Mine is a me 90 pro but with a case. You add a bit of thickness to the phone and this one here doesn’t allowed if flush kind of a clamp, so what it means is.

When You Put The Phone On The Holder

Sometime it doesn’t sit flush. Can you see that so you actually squeeze the phone cover out of place so I suggest take it out of the case or it’s not as easy as you thought it would be now. The claim should be roughly in the middle again. The manufacturers say that you know this is actually quite a well strong motor so a bit of unbalance is okay. But we shoot as much as we can balance the phone so that it give less work for for the motor to do.

Here There Is An Arrow To

show. You which which way to mount your phone? So the camera lens is pointing to the red arrow right here and this just slide into the catch with both the wording facing to the top. You slide it on push the red button down to and to lock it and that’s it that’s the phone mounted to the gimbal and to further balance it put it into this kind of a position and the phone should not talk Oh and you just move the phone up and down the hole and you this is light anymore. So I can tell that the phone needs to go that way a little bit so I’m just going to push it that way okay Oh. I think that’s it so now it’s kind of semi balance, but remember what I say the motor is now quite strong, so no longer need to worry.

About It Not Stabilizing And The

other one The other thing I like about this game bow is that you can actually see it on the table like that and you can always like you know screw in a attachment to it to make it more stable, but what I’ll do now is just switch it on for you guys so press the power button and hold it and it’s bringing to action so now is ready to use. You can tell that is actually stabilizing the phone pretty well Selfie mode can be activated by I think triple pressing the power button so for example, now obviously I’m filming myself if I press it three times it turns around we’re pressing three times again you face me again okay so pairing the phone is easy. Basically is done by Bluetooth and you don’t have to repair it every time. So every time that you switch on the gimbal and the phone is near the proximity It will automatically connect now The other good thing is the buttons here do work with your native camera. So for example, you don’t need to use the app if you want to just take simpler picture and photo.

For Example, If I Press The

photo button it will start the recording of I press it it will stop now. This is a native camera not not the Zilean Play, which is the software now to use the software. It gives you a lot more control. For example, the Zy play is the software and once you go into the software. Obviously, you can do the same thing like recording take pictures, but also allow you to do some really cool feature like a moving time-lapse, so you can actually set how fast you.

Want The People To Move At A Certain

time and then we take picture at a set interval. So we will time-lapse, but you can get actually get a very cool kind of a panning shot through the time-lapse. So that is quite good to use and I guess most of the people will be using like recording, but another feature. I really like about this is take a Para Ram Ik picture Now This is not new scenes. NK] or Android.

You Can Actually Like Hold A

button and just move around and then you can get a much wider shot because it takes many UK pictures and stitch them together. Now this This is something similar but this time the gimbal will actually do it for you so what happened is you you use choose the Ferrari mode and you automatically move it for you and then it stitch it up together in the software. It kind of stitch up the different photos into one long strip, which is quite a cool feature because it’s much more accurate. This way to create a to create a nice picture.

Now Let Me Show You What The Inception

mode and just to show you guys what you can do to make people feeling dizzy so basically it locks on to like a like a flash-like like a fresh light. Not sure how useful that is, but you know it is one of the function that you can choose to use but um okay If I show you what how stable how stable we can be so I’m going to start with you obviously no one walk around like this wobbly, but it does it does a good job in terms of keeping keeping the phone straight so all your contour is over here you’ve got your power button you’ve got your shutter button. You go your joypad, which you can till the camera and then you’ve got the UK light to show you the mode every time we click. one step go forward the different mode.

You Can Also Do Two Clicks

to move it backwards now. Finally at the moment we are filming ourselves if you click this twice Oops three times flips around quite a handy feature and you’re three times again comes back now battery can be replaced so you just trace the bottom here and then the battery will come out and you can do that again so you’ve got a UK C charging port right and right there now The hinges sometimes can get in the way of a wide angle, so the hinges the way the design sometime can get into the wide angle. So all you need to do is to hold it in such a way that it will downwards a bit more so it doesn’t get in the frame there. The whole gimbal is metal construction so it does get.

  • frame gimbal metal
  • compact gimbal mate metal construction
  • gimbal company called zuu model
  • going box using gimbal compared
  • gimbal compared couple game balls

A Bit Heavy, But Because Its So

small You don’t really feel the weight in your hand and I think I think by testing it just now. I think this has become my favorite Gimbal so easy to carry around the fact that this this axle can actually do 360 and is amazing. I would love to do a lot of creating creative shot with this so well done Xion you made the gimbal which I actually like thank you very much for watching my video if you like my content please subscribe and I see you next time thank you very much bye bye.
