    Starts @2:03

  3. MrDragonfyr on July 10, 2020 at 7:47 pm

    2:31 when he actually starts talking about gimbals. What a waste of time this was.

    Zhiyun sounds like "Jer-yoon" (rhymes with her moon)

  5. William Su on July 10, 2020 at 7:48 pm

    Idk why anyone would pay $300+ for the movi…. for $300+ you should be working with higher end equipment than your phone

  6. J H on July 10, 2020 at 7:51 pm

    Nice vid wheres the music from

  7. Gennifer Costanzo on July 10, 2020 at 7:51 pm

    witch gimbal would you choose for a music video?

  8. LVNS on July 10, 2020 at 7:54 pm

    I live in Venice and you are patently not in Venice. Why should I believe anything in this video?

  9. lynda jones on July 10, 2020 at 7:54 pm

    the music in your video is distracting. it isn’t good.

  10. Sok Sary on July 10, 2020 at 7:56 pm

    Gimbal nice gear for using moment !!!

  11. Shba Cochrane on July 10, 2020 at 7:57 pm

    I wish moment could collaborate with a great company that makes gimbals that would automatically adjust to the weight of the phone and with every moment lens that you use. Because when you’re filming your own short film like I’ve done a few times it’s such a pain when you want to change lenses at the last minute for a shot. Then you have to readjust the gimbal to the new weight naturally because some lenses weigh more than others so of course the weight of the lens in the phone won’t be the same. If moment could invent a gimbal with a strong motor and a gimbal that could automatically adjust to the weight of the phone and the lens attached where you didn’t have to do…..this balancing act and have to have all of these counterweights I would definitely pay for it no questions asked.

    Thank you for the video. I learned a lot. Please can you do a video about their battery life and how to replace the batteries when they are very dead. Thank you in advance

  13. There's Food At Home on July 10, 2020 at 8:02 pm

    Think I found my gimbal. That Zhiyun looking perfect

  14. Dschinn on July 10, 2020 at 8:05 pm

    FYI: Smooth 4 is a professional appearing gimbal and the motors are strong etc. … all the buttons and stuff are cool and it works pretty nice. But most of the functions are company-app-only. Just read what bitrate you get out of the strange app with an old and new face to switch between. Then you will realise that all the features can’t be used in fully potential. I am pretty disappointed.

  15. Mark Murdoch on July 10, 2020 at 8:05 pm

    How do you manage the lack of microphone mount??

  16. Spice of Life on July 10, 2020 at 8:08 pm

    This video sucks and how can we trust your review when you don’t even show any footage tests from all 3 gimbals? You don’t even breakdown the features of each. Something smells… and I call bull***t

  17. Daniel García on July 10, 2020 at 8:10 pm

    Hi, thank for that video! Traking and gestures are only in DJI? Smooth 4 is tracking problems?

  18. Linda Marquette on July 10, 2020 at 8:12 pm

    Smooth 4 does not do 3×3 or 3×5 very well at all. They claim it’s the app. But nothing has been done and it’s been around a while since it’s been around.

  19. mcruzdvm on July 10, 2020 at 8:13 pm

    OSMO 3 is poor with any moment Lenses, the anamorphic is the best of 3

  20. Dar1213 on July 10, 2020 at 8:16 pm

    Was there a reason that we had to follow you in and out of the car?

  21. Elizabeth O on July 10, 2020 at 8:19 pm

    Thanks for your thoughts. Would have loved to see side-by-side comparisons of the same shots with each of the three gimbals. Also would’ve liked more specifics on the unique controls the more expensive ones have. Overall though this was helpful thank you

  22. Abdulla Mohammed on July 10, 2020 at 8:19 pm

    Zhiyun Smooth 4 is shit

  23. Eddie Arcega on July 10, 2020 at 8:19 pm

    I’m surprised the zhiyun is still considered a good gimbal in 2020. I got mine soon after release and I very much enjoyed the gimbal itself but the program they made for it is complete garbage. Just a shame because like this man said the zhiyun gimbal is such a professionally built device but its software cripples it.

  24. Elyod Florian on July 10, 2020 at 8:20 pm

    DISCLAIMER!: No gimbals were tested in the making of this video.

  25. PegadanG oNlen on July 10, 2020 at 8:20 pm

    What wheigh more smart phone or action cam ,? I am seeking for a good gimbal for my action cam

  26. parallax on July 10, 2020 at 8:23 pm

    The lighting shift in 3:09 😞 bye

  27. Wee Mary on July 10, 2020 at 8:24 pm

    Hi! Which one do you thinks has better footage (smooth 4, osmo 3 or crane m2? Thanks for sharing!

  28. r lg on July 10, 2020 at 8:28 pm

    Nice video thanks, hope you answer comments, I tried the Rollei Study Butler 2 the first one had a bad shake issue, the second, auto calibration is not working well. So I think I want to go with Zhiyun Smooth 4, but the app is not compatible with my phone but I should have more stable less shakey footage? What did you use for your counterweight ?

  29. ed.Thai. Hansen on July 10, 2020 at 8:28 pm

    i read the smooth 4 must use specific software; unlike the Q2. but less button controls.

  30. Elizabeth O on July 10, 2020 at 8:28 pm

    Any tips on how to manage exposure while shooting video? I have the iPhone XR and it automatically adjusts and drives me up a wall! Maybe my phone just doesn’t have that capability?? Oh and I also have the Xenvo attachable lense but I don’t know if i can attach filters to that which might help!?!

  31. goldreserve on July 10, 2020 at 8:28 pm

    another time waster, no review here

  32. Nature loverS by humaNS on July 10, 2020 at 8:28 pm

    Thank you for the useful information ℹ️🙏

  33. 2028 JC on July 10, 2020 at 8:29 pm

    Never buy Zhiyun. Or any
    Made in China gimbal

    …. Looks pretty but does not work.
    China can copy well and they will give you everything… WiFi etc

    But, it Can’t balance well. When you walk with it, it bounced a lot.
    China don’t made anything with mechanics in it. 😋

  34. ed.Thai. Hansen on July 10, 2020 at 8:29 pm

    nice. Does it support BT mic or I guess it used my vdo recording app that support BT mic. for others to hold it.

  35. JARED DAVIS on July 10, 2020 at 8:30 pm

    I NEED THAT GIMBAL IN MY LIFE

  36. Enzo Heavenly on July 10, 2020 at 8:31 pm

    Just add weights to the opposite side of the Osmo 3, to keep it balanced, about 3 should be enough.

  37. Andrew Atm on July 10, 2020 at 8:34 pm

    Thanks for the video. On the freefly movi can u add an external mic? I have the deity d3 pro in mind. Thanks.

  38. metallpt147 on July 10, 2020 at 8:34 pm

    What if you have moment lenses as well as a lighting port style mic such as the mv88(+)? Will the counterweights work with that? Also I think they should somehow incorporate a solution or being able to attach something on top for condenser mics like the mv88+ so it could be a complete rig setup

  39. Laan Ponchamni on July 10, 2020 at 8:34 pm

    i noticed you used a moment lens on the movi without a counterweight. How is this possible? As I heard it’s a must to have a counterweight attached to the gimbal.

  40. Thein Zaw on July 10, 2020 at 8:35 pm

    I love your explanation a lot, critical clear, but
    Short to the points please thanks 🙏 😊

  41. ed.Thai. Hansen on July 10, 2020 at 8:35 pm

    Whiere is the Q2 ? I read I must use the smooth 4 with zy.. .or filmic ? Can use any software ?

  42. MelodeusForever on July 10, 2020 at 8:35 pm

    you never mentioned the battery life on the MoVi.

  43. Rj Martinez on July 10, 2020 at 8:36 pm

    Video starts at 2:30

  44. Jeppe Isaksson on July 10, 2020 at 8:37 pm

    The white dots!

  45. George Kashenko on July 10, 2020 at 8:42 pm

    There is a counter whaith for osmo3 on eBay

  46. Chris Story on July 10, 2020 at 8:42 pm

    Smooth 4 was such a pain in the ass to use. I tell you, it was decent until the software was supportive anymore. what a flipping joke. the only good thing about the Smmoth 4 was the stand. the thing was too much like a fishing pole.

  47. Death Dave on July 10, 2020 at 8:44 pm

    So it’s 2020 I gotta ask do any of these gimbals work with the oppo a31? I’m planning on buying one

  48. superdacoolman on July 10, 2020 at 8:44 pm

    Too bad the Freefly shows up in the show when using the ulta wide lens on the iphone 11pro

  49. Jeff Boogers on July 10, 2020 at 8:44 pm

    During the testing at the end of the video, did you use an editing tool? Or the built-in tool for each gimbal? Thanks.

  50. Produb SA on July 10, 2020 at 8:45 pm

    WOW !
