ZHIYUN Unveils Revolutionary SMOOTH 5S AI Stabilizer for Video Makers

The Transcontinenta Group, Zhiyun-Tech distributor for Great Britain, Ireland, the Benelux, and Germany introduces today the new Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S Ai smartphone gimbal. 

Featuring advanced AI tracking technology, the Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S Ai gimbal provides unparalleled stabilization and effortless operation to capture smooth and professional-quality footage with users' smartphones. ZHIYUN continues to redefine smartphone videography, empowering content creators and smartphone users to unleash their creativity and capture stunning moments with ease.

AI Tracker for seamless tracking shots

The Zhiyun SMOOTH 5S AI features intelligent algorithms that enable precise and accurate subject tracking. These advanced algorithms continuously adjust the gimbal based on subject movement, ensuring consistently sharp and clear footage. Users can effortlessly capture professional-quality video that is always in focus and blur-free.

The magnetic attachment of the Ai tracker, included with the COMBO and PRO set,  quickly rotates to control a smartphone's front or rear camera. With intuitive gesture control, users can easily manage tracking functions. The tracker allows simple hand gestures to start and stop recording via ZHIYUN's ZY Cami app or by directly controlling a smartphone camera, as well as to control custom framing and tracking. This makes long-distance solo video recording effortless and helps users capture wonderful moments that would otherwise be missed.

Unique and practical features

• 3-axis orthogonal structure for unlimited motion
  ZHIYUN leads the industry with its classic 3-axis orthogonal structure, enabling true 360° rotation and impressive visual effects such as "Vortex Mode". It delivers incredibly smooth and stable shots, whether capturing fast-paced action or serene cinematic scenes. Traditional 3-axis gimbals - which often lack such complete movement flexibility - unexpectedly freeze and let users down when they want to create the most powerful and dramatic professional effects such as low-to-high transitions, 360° barrel shots, and more.

• All-in-one control panel for seamless control
  The SMOOTH 5S AI features easy-to-reach tactile controls that provide the kind of professional parameter adjustments normally found on high-end cameras. These physical controls-buttons, dials, joysticks, switches, etc.-ensure that users can quickly select the exact settings they need to get the best shot without taking their eyes off the action.

• Stylish, practical, durable materials
  ZHIYUN's sleek new visual design enhances the aesthetics of the SMOOTH 5S AI. The axis arms are made of textured translucent material to enhance the sensory experience. The handle's gradient texture and silicone coating enhance grip and comfort. The SMOOTH 5S AI offers both aesthetic appeal and ergonomic functionality.

• Integrated fill light brings out the beauty
  The SMOOTH 5S AI's built-in high-power fill light provides an impressive peak illumination of 680 lux. Two additional magnetically attached fill lights can add their power to provide a combined peak illumination of 2040 lux - rivaling even dedicated pocket-sized fill lights. Subjects are illuminated clearly but sensitively, capturing every detail and making them look their best.

• StaCam & ZY Cami Apps - Essential Assistants
  ZHIYUN's ZY Cami and StaCam Apps cater to different user needs. ZY Cami gets any user up and running quickly with convenient and efficient videography through a series of smart shooting functions. StaCam helps users unleash their creativity and explore new frontiers of visual expression with advanced professional features such as guides, focus peaking, zebra stripes and LUT. Whether users are professional photographers or enthusiasts, ZHIYUN's applications will empower and inspire them.
