Was scouring webshops to grab a cheap-yet-good Gimbal, to use with my Note 8.

The Zhiyun Smooth Q 3- Axis Handheld Stabilized Gimbal for Smartphones checked all the right boxes for me.
Even when the Samsung Note 8 barely fits, this gimbal could (pretty much?) fit any other smartphone out there.

LITB was happy to accommodate my request for a great deal on the Smooth-Q, which has very good reviews all around.

Beats the earlier best price comfortably.

100 units allotted at this price; so need hurry.
And always pay in USD for the best price.

Thanks MiniInTheBox; and enjoy all.

  • Can this hold a normal DSLR camera? I dont know much about them.

    • +1

      No. There's a different version for dslrs

      • +2

        never mind I see the DSLR one to hold the weight is $900 lol

        • you can get Crane v2 about $500 on special

    • Can fit phones and gopro (adapter needed to see the screen).

  • This balances fine a Note 8 (without case) ???

  • From what I learned, the Note 8 extends a trifle bit too long; can't be perfectly balanced. But once the rig is powered, it stabilises like with any other phone, even if the Note 8 still tilts right a bit. There was a video demonstrating this to be only a minor issue; can't find it ATM.

    Here is a reddit discussion on the matter.

    I personally wonder if an appropriate small weight can be added at the left end to balance the phone fully…
    Shouldn't be too difficult.

  • Can it hold a gopro? Some reviews say it can be retrofitted for a gopro too…

    • yes, with an adapter that you can buy or DIY one.

      • Thanks for the confirmation.

  • How did you get the price to $118? I bought mine for $125.XX after choosing basic free shipping and no insurance? I also cost the currency on LITB website as USD

    • you pay with Paypal?

      • Yes i did!

        • Then maybe you used the conversion rate of Paypal. It's always higher than the bank conversion rate.

  • Bought one, thanks!

  • I’ve owned both this and the dji Osmo and while this is very good for the price the Osmo is much more refined.

    • Yes; Osmo costs almost twice.
      The beefy battery in the Zhiyun to act as a powerbank could be another clincher.

    bought one long time ago. still had not used it. cause wife keeps whinging that "it is embarrassing" (to hold this thing). when do you use this again? walk the 🐶 dog…please help me to convince her.

      Saw a gimbal being used by a parent at a school end of year concert. Great way to get smooth video when you have to hold a phone for 3-5min for your kid's musical performance.

      Would have been useful for the grandpa who was just holding the phone with his hands and he was shaky and all over the place.

      I think these gimbals will also work well in low light where you can remotely trigger your phone's camera shutter (for a photo) via voice commands or timer.

        From what I read, these gimbals have their corresponding smartphone apps, so the mounted phone's camera/video controls can be handled via the gimbal's thumb buttons (phone connects to gimbal via bluetooth) ; no need to twiddle with the phone while recording; etc.

        I agree one can be a bit self conscious- initially- using this thing.
        There are people who feel uncomfortable shooting video in public, even with just their phones- sans gimbals.

        So; it's just a matter of getting over the novelty of the experience. The self-consciousness will wear away.
        After the initial two-three times, they won't think twice of gimbal assisted public video shooting.

    • Gimbals are becoming increasingly popular.

      You can even plug in a microphone for even better audio….
