Like most stabilizers, Smooth3 is also divided into three parts: clamp, arm and grip. The overall workmanship and details are commendable, and it is also very tactile!

The Zhiyun LOGO at the Zhiyun Smooth3 horizontal roller is quite conspicuous. The wrong center of gravity in the horizontal direction of the PTZ may cause the PTZ to fail to work. A good center of gravity position can save more power for the PTZ. There is a groove in the middle of the handle, and the LED charging indicator in the middle is designed to be more secretive.

Zhiyun Smooth 3 uses a standard MicroUSB interface design, and can be directly connected to an external power supply for charging without a special connection cable. In addition, we can use the mobile power supply to make Smooth3 charge while using, which can extend the use time of the stabilizer. Smooth3 has its own integrated control panel, high-precision wheel focusing, redefined exposure compensation ISO、 Fine camera operations such as white balance, focusing, shutter time, etc.

The pan tilt stabilizer is made of aviation grade all aluminum alloy. The body is made of alloy but very lightweight. The black body and the red decorative strip designed at the arm shaft, together with the exquisite sandblasting process, make the whole machine very excellent in appearance and touch.

There are six holes at the bottom of Zhiyun Smooth3, and the middle hole supports a standard tripod, which can extend the height or size of the PTZ, depending on individual needs. At the same time, Smooth3 supports horizontal and vertical standing. It can be placed on the desktop for live broadcast or selfie shooting without asking for help.

Smooth-3 uses a two-way phone clip. Just unscrew the phone clip knob and rotate the phone clip 90 ° to complete the horizontal and vertical switching of the phone clip. The operation is simple. Easy to switch between horizontal and vertical by hand!

First of all, we installed and fixed the mobile phone, and the clamp was more powerful, thanks to the increased rubber protection, which can greatly improve the security and wear risk of the mobile phone.

Before use, we need to download the Zhiyun handheld assistant, which can be downloaded by scanning the QR code on the back of the box or through the official website.

Install the Zhiyun handheld assistant and ZY Play. The former is mainly used to monitor the working condition of the device, and the latter is the main photographing function. The user can start the corresponding operation by connecting the mobile phone and smooth3 through Bluetooth. (ZY PLAY currently only supports IOS system)

Zhiyun Smooth3 adopts a bolt design on the back of the spring clip, which can switch in the horizontal and vertical directions. Just unscrew the button of the phone clip and rotate the phone clip 90 ° to complete the horizontal and vertical switching of the phone clip. Note that you need to operate the PTZ stabilizer in standby or off state to avoid damaging the PTZ!

In addition, Smooth-3 adopts the upgraded fifth generation honeycomb algorithm, which improves the response speed, the load weight reaches 260g, and allows free carrying of diversified external accessories.

In this article, we tested the compatibility of two mobile phones with Zhiyun Smooth3. One is a low configuration mobile phone with a price of several hundred yuan, and the other is a mobile phone with a price of about 2000 yuan. In the actual experience and testing, we found that the mobile phone can be perfectly compatible with PTZ as long as the hardware of the mobile phone is OK. In terms of optimization, Zhiyun has done a good job!

The mobile phone opens the Bluetooth connection to the SmartCloud Smooth3 SmartCloud handheld assistant, and enters the main interface to see the power and current mode of the PTZ. At the same time, it also supports setting control modes in APP, such as follow, lock, and all follow selection. The roll axis, pitch axis and heading axis can be adjusted on APP! However, it will be more convenient to use the physical keys on the PTZ!

From the above two GIF dynamic graphs, we can see that the sensitivity and controllability of Zhiyun Smooth3 are very stable and very sensitive, and there is no jam or delay. No matter up and down, left and right rotation or movement, the transition is smooth, ensuring the stability of the camera image, which can achieve real-time video recording or photography!

In the actual photography experience, we found that under the professional photography mode, ZYPLAY APP not only has two modes to choose from, namely, walking and movement, but also can realize various black technology functions such as delayed photography, slow motion, and mobile delay. But at present, only IOS system is supported. Professional functions of Android system need to be experienced at the end of the month! The article experience is Android system, so we can't do professional function demonstration for the time being!

In terms of imaging quality, the pixel and imaging ability of the photos taken depend on the hardware of the phone itself. If the hardware is not good, it is not surprising that Zhiyun did not take high-resolution photos. I hope you don't confuse this! Zhiyun Smooth3 is actually an auxiliary photographic artifact, which is more about improving the level and efficiency of photography.

Zhiyun Smooth 3 model shows that not only men like smart products, but also girls love them. Especially for girls who like to take photos, it is a magic weapon.
