New: Zhiyun SMOOTH Q5 Ultra, a Smartphone Gimbal with AI Tracking

Transcontinenta UK Ltd., distributor for Zhiyun in the UK and Ireland, presents the new Zhiyun SMOOTH Q5 Ultra, a versatile and intelligent smartphone gimbal designed for demanding content creators. 

With cutting-edge AI technology, wireless control, voice commands, and an improved ergonomic design, this gimbal is ready for any scenario, from vlogging to livestreaming and creative shooting on the go.

Smartphone gimbal for creative filmmaking

The Zhiyun SMOOTH Q5 Ultra is made for instant use: just unfold, power on, and start shooting. Its compact folding design with secure locking clip ensures hassle-free transport. And with up to 13.5 hours of battery life, you won’t have to stop filming midday. Even when using the built-in fill light (up to 226 lux), you still get up to 5.5 hours of runtime. The SMOOTH Q5 Ultra delivers smooth, stable footage thanks to Zhiyun’s advanced stabilization algorithms and high-performance motors. Whether you’re filming while walking, taking a group selfie, or executing a complex pan, this gimbal keeps your shot steady. Its built-in AI tracking module automatically recognizes faces, objects, and even multiple subjects, and keeps them in frame, even with fast movement or when briefly out of view.

Zhiyun also offers different kit options, including a Standard Version and a Combo Kit with extended accessories, perfectly tailored to the individual needs of professional users.

Control it your way

What sets the SMOOTH Q5 Ultra apart is the detachable wireless remote that stores neatly in the gimbal’s arm. It allows full remote camera control, ideal for solo filming. You can tilt and pan the gimbal intuitively by moving your wrist, or use voice commands like “start recording” to operate it hands-free. You can also switch between portrait and landscape modes instantly at the touch of a button. The new mode indicator screen clearly shows your current shooting mode. An integrated 215 mm extension rod gives you added reach for dynamic angles, selfies, and low or high perspectives. Finally, the redesigned grip offers improved comfort and control, even during extended use.
