DJI OM 5 VS ZHIYUN SMOOTH 5 (watch this before you buy)

I've never compared two mobile gimbals before but I created this to help you with your purchasing decision

How to say Zhiyun

DJI OM 5

(Update) On the DJI OM 5 just press 4 times the M button and you will enter on POV mode, press 4 times the M button again and you'll switch to Follow mode (You don't need the DJI Mimo app to do this).

I have been using my phone vlogging for 3 years and I just got this smooth 5 yesterday and it fits perfectly with my iphone 12 pro max! It is single handedly changing my game!

Great job comparing the portability. That was my biggest issue with previous gimbals, the OM 5 looks like you can whip it out and catch the action when you're traveling.

Man bro your vids are sick, amazing clarity of mind/space/tech

[LouisLuzuka]

So if I want to carry lenses and more weight then smooth 5 and if I want light weight snd a selfie stick for like drone shots then om5?

[cultivationplus]

I just got the smooth 5 due to its ability to support larger, heavier phones. Also the ability to have more control outside of the application. Thanks to your video and other videos i watched. Thank you for this!

I keep running in to you Andy lol 😂 thanks for the comparison bro helped me make my decision

Hi
I keep hearing these gimbal apps aren’t too good with android mobile phones, do you have any thoughts which one of the 2 would be best for android users?

[jackleung]

I know the zhiyun crane m2 is a 2yr old gimbal, how would you compare it ? Smooth 5 vs crane m2. And what are your thoughts? Thanks Andy

[dharmspeakz]

Thank you, Loved the comparison bro. On point ✌️

Hey andy, i have been learning and practicing with an osmo mobile 2 and i feel its time to upgrade but i have a dilemma:should i continue ahooting with phone and get a smooth 5, or look for a gimbal i can use with my fujifilm xt20? Is it too much to chew on (fujifilm xt20 with a bigger and different gimbal)?
I hope you or anybody reading this comment (constructively) could shed some light and share zome guidance

[KiKutvchannel]

Can I use my beast grip with smooth5 with no problem? Or can I put my beast grip with mirrorless gimbal cuz Is bigger and also mirrorless camera heavier than phone +lenses? Thanks

[koramusic]

Does any of the gimbals comes into frame when filming in wide mode (0, 5) on iphone ? I have the old zhiyun and the gimbal is always in frame...

[marctoone]

Thanks very much for your review. I found it both informative & useful.

[FAMILYSOCIALFoodTravel]

How about the weight? Can I put a mic, iPhone 13 max pro, lense, and light on these gimbals and would these gimbals not fall down ?

[NaughtyNard]

I was waiting on you to make this. Thank you!

[RideTheTeacups]

Great comparisons; thanks for the video!

[PhotoSlash]

is there an actual video comparing the shoots of both? i mean this is the most important thing and its missing here, who's the most stable? who has the best features? can they be used with 3rd party camera apps?

[AaronShaHome]

Great video. Which one has better horizontal view control? And can either one mount with audio ? Thank you

[amirinamerica]

Andy, I can definitely feel the pressure on your shoulders to pick the one gimbal over the other (LOL) I use Zhiyun Smooth X for my iPhone and so far I am happy. The price is just right as right now I see a deal of 45% off (from $59.99) to just $32.99.
