new Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S Smartphone gimbal

The Transcontinenta Group, Zhiyun-Tech distributor for Great Britain, Ireland, the Benelux, and Germany introduces today the new Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S smartphone gimbal. The SMOOTH 5S is a new and more advanced version of the very popular Zhiyun SMOOTH 5, which, by the way, will continue to be available. 

The new professional 3-axis stabilization design of the Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S, with extra space between the axes, offers more filming possibilities with a wider view at different shooting angles. The magnetic steel motors have an upgraded algorithm, ensuring that phones with large LCD sizes can also be used. The wider phone clamp now also allows the use of external lenses on mobile phones. The Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S now has a powerful 300 lumens fill-in light, with a colour temperature of 5000 K (90+ CPI), built-in. In addition, as with the standard SMOOTH 5, it remains possible to connect two more external LED lights (optional accessory). 

The wider axes of the Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S provide superfast switching between horizontal and vertical filming modes. These improved axes also provide even better support/control for the larger smartphones. For optimal control during filming, the SMOOTH 5S offers a large control wheel for smooth and quick adjustment of zoom position, focus, and choice of desired focal length. The SMOOTH 5S supports PD fast charging, so the gimbal is fully charged in just two hours, and with full battery, filming can be done for as much as 25 hours!
