Hi! Can it be used with an iPhone 13 Pro Max in portrait mode? I think it’s not enough space

[Arvid-lsnu]

Thanks for a very helpful video!
One question, can you use the Zhiyun smooth 5s (and OM6?) with other camera apps like the moment camera app or the blackmagic camera app?
Would very much appreciate your answer!

[Fahad-shr]

Which Mic You are using and how to connect mic with gimbal

[simonfarrugia]

Great vid thanks. Just a small question, is that filter mount the one from Moment? Does it fit well on the 14 pro?

[brittanymaddox]

could you do a video on how to balance in portrait mode? also have you touched on not using the app to film?

[_amee_r_ali_]

Is in this gimbal affordable for gopro also?

[TuttoTube]

after your review i bought the Smooth 5s but .... OPPO FIND X3 PRO is not compatible (even if it says it is) because in vertical mode it can be balanced perfectly only if you slide the phone down a lot and that way it touches the gimbal. Any suggestion?

[Musicsoundsbetterwithyou]

Smooth video sir. Very easy to understand and articulated content. I have a question I want to film Gym vlogs with anamorphic lens and moment filters which phone should I buy 14 Pro or 14 pro max for vlogging. Also would I be able to mount rode wireless go 2 to Smooth 5s. Thank you for simple and amazing content.

Is it possible to use this gimbal in vertical mode with an ND filter? If not, how do I shoot vertical video outside using manual control? Thank you so much for all your great videos!!
