If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The high-tech era has made me more curious about some new and curious intelligent hardware. Mobile phones have become a part of people's lives, and they can't go anywhere without them. However, the demand for simple stop motion pictures is far from enough. Therefore, video shooting has become a more intuitive description. Everyone will encounter some problems when shooting video with mobile phones. The shaking of hands can not control the picture very well, and it is not very convenient to follow the shooting. With the "artifact" in hand, mobile phone video can still be very good imaging. If you have a Smooth - Ⅱ smart cloud three-axis mobile phone stabilizer nearby, you can take out your mobile phone and film anytime, anywhere!

What kind of "artifact" made me unable to restrain my joy? Let me open the box and have a look! The overall packaging is very fashionable, and all the products are safely placed in cartons. In addition to the stabilizer, other accessories are relatively simple: anti-collision sticker * 1, counterweight * 1, Micro USB cable * 1, 18650 lithium battery * 1.

Do you think you've seen it somewhere? It's a bit like a retracted selfie stick? As a handheld device, the stabilizer is designed to facilitate cell phone clamping, so it is really a bit like a selfie stick, but its three-axis and anti shake design is worth learning. The overall appearance is a little thicker than the selfie stick, and its stability and durability are the differences.

Zhiyun has its own experience in the design of stabilizers. At present, there are many series of products on the market. As the second-generation product, Smooth-II is still improved compared with the first generation Smooth-C. When I get it, the black is calm and grand, and the slightly heavy feeling is that it is more firm in the process of daily holding. No matter in terms of materials, technology, design and control, I am still amazed by this newcomer.

The product itself is designed for mobile phone shooting, but other devices can also be clamped as long as the conditions meet. Smooth - Ⅱ is suitable for devices below 6.5 inches. Mobile phones are easy to use. It is also possible to use small microsheets. It is a little inconvenient for the author to use a sports camera to hold and shoot vertically. However, the holding of the stabilizer is very stable in daily life. The weight balance problem will be found during the clamping process of mobile phones of different sizes. The center of gravity can be adjusted through the screws on the back of the PTZ. For mobile phones of large size and above like iPhone 6plus, additional counterweights need to be added to stabilize the balance and keep the phone back to the horizontal line, so that the PTZ can work stably and normally. Of course, the stability of the center of gravity adjustment can make the stabilizer more power saving, because this will reduce the power consumption of the motor when it is unnecessary.

Nowadays, electronic products cannot live without electricity. Smooth-II has improved a lot in terms of battery compared with the first generation C, and a single 18650 battery is more stable and powerful, and it is more convenient to directly use the ordinary Micro USB data cable. This is not as boring as C's need to unload the battery and charge it on the battery charging box. The large capacity of 3400mAh makes the endurance more durable, which is much improved than the previous generation. Daily video shooting must be easy for more than 4 hours, but it may be because of the hot weather. After a long time, there will be signs of fever.

In order to shoot stably for a long time, Smooth - Ⅱ is equipped with a 1/4 universal screw port at the bottom to facilitate the connection of tripod, fixed frame, suction cup and other shooting equipment. And here is the switch to install the battery.

In terms of key operation design, Smooth - Ⅱ is relatively simple and easy to use. Press and hold the power key for daily opening/closing operation, and control the daily shooting direction of the stabilizer through the five way rocker beside. The overall key is light and flexible. This five way rocker is used for daily shooting with different needs, and requires certain skills.

The following mode, locking mode and full following mode can be switched through the five way rocker in daily life, just click or double-click to switch. This is the key point of Smooth-II stabilizer operation, because it can meet different daily shooting needs, and specific operation skills can refer to the manual. This is what a novice must learn. After mastering various skills and daily needs, you can control the joystick to shoot daily blockbusters.

Nowadays, there is no APP to control, so I am ashamed to call it an intelligent product. There are two models that can be used with Smooth - Ⅱ. One is the "Zhiyun handheld assistant". Personally, the design of this app feels that the interface is a bit ugly and the function is single. However, it is very convenient to observe the state of the whole stabilizer on the APP, and monitor different axes and shooting modes.

The second is the "Zhiyun Camera" camera app, which has a simpler interface but can shoot videos well. It works with the joystick on the stabilizer to zoom, switch the camera back and forth, and of course has other camera app shooting functions: HDR、 Flash, etc.

During the daily handheld shooting operation of Smooth - Ⅱ, pay attention not to randomly place the handheld part of the stabilizer when it is powered on, because the motor will rotate to a certain extent and float a bit. In this case, you will find that the handheld part will rotate all the time.

Before you are ready to shoot, make adequate preparations. Both the mobile phone and the stabilizer should be fully charged. Pay attention to the size and balance when holding the phone. Then the switch of the stabilizer is turned on, the mobile phone is adjusted to the video mode, the camera is taken after the stabilization, and then the stabilizer is operated.

The above is the dynamic diagram of stabilizer operation.

It is convenient to get used to using the Smooth - Ⅱ three-axis stabilizer on a daily basis. Fine process design, simple key rocker operation, more functions of mobile phone APP operation monitoring, and super long endurance help you to be more calm and balanced in daily mobile phone shooting. Anti shake is the king's way. You will find that various modes of shooting help you to shoot better, It is found that the price of stabilizers in the market is a little expensive every day. The 2000 yuan version of Smooth - Ⅱ has also made many mobile video shooting enthusiasts flinch. However, there is still a long way to go to be a qualified shooting expert. To shoot still life, scenery, characters, a series of actions and other videos, you need to go through long-term stable training and get more hands on them. Better use with this Smooth - Ⅱ Smart Cloud three-axis stabilizer still requires a good pixel mobile phone and its own shooting skills. We look forward to the release of blockbusters after long-term use!
