Zhiyun Smooth 5 vs Zhiyun Smooth 4

Zhiyun Smooth 4 was launched in April 2018. That is nearly 3.5 years ago. It turns our mobile phone into a professional filmmaking camera, helping us create stable and smooth footage with just our phone. The design of the integrated control panel reduces the need to touch the screen, and help users control both the stabilizer and mobile camera directly with hot-key buttons.
