Zhiyun Mobile Gimbal Smooth Q5 UltraZhiyun Mobile Gimbal Smooth Q5 Ultra

Zhiyun introduces the Smooth Q5 Ultra, a smart smartphone gimbal built to make mobile filmmaking easier, smoother, and more flexible. Designed for creators who want more control in a compact format, the Smooth Q5 Ultra combines AI-powered subject tracking, Zhiyun stabilization technology, a detachable wireless remote control, and voice command support for a more independent shooting experience.

The new AI tracking module improves the stability and accuracy of human subject tracking, helping users keep subjects centered while filming. A new display screen gives a clear overview of shooting modes and settings, while a motion-sensing control allows the gimbal to respond to simple wrist movements for more natural remote operation. Zhiyun also supports gesture-based control, giving creators more hands-free options when working alone.

Zhiyun has also added several practical features that strengthen the Smooth Q5 Ultra as an everyday creative tool. The built-in fill light delivers up to 226 lux for brighter portrait and close-up shots, while the 215 mm extension pole makes it easier to capture selfies, overhead angles, and low-angle footage. With support for quick folding and unfolding, easy switching between horizontal and vertical shooting, and battery life of up to 13.5 hours under light use, the Smooth Q5 Ultra is a simple and capable solution for creators who want stable and professional-looking smartphone video.
