Professional videographers all know that a great smartphone gimbal will totally change the quality of your mobile video content. In the prosumer world of smartphone gimbals, two names usually come up the most: Zhiyun, which only makes gimbals, and DJI, which is primarily a drone company. The Zhiyun Smooth 5 is the latest and greatest from the former brand.

Usually, Zhiyun severely undercuts DJI when it comes to the price of its gimbals, but that’s not the case this year. With the two products existing at the same price tier now, how does the Smooth 5 stack up? That’s what this Zhiyun Smooth 5 review will hopefully answer.
