Zhiyun has launched the Smooth 5S AI, a highly advanced gimbal designed to meet the needs of photographers and videographers. This new model incorporates numerous enhancements over its predecessor, making it an ideal tool for creating high-quality content with your smartphone.
The Smooth 5S AI is equipped with a magnetic AI tracker that provides rapid and responsive target tracking unaffected by strong light interference. This feature ensures seamless re-identification and recovery of object tracking even after reframing, allowing for effortless solo video recording with intuitive gesture control.
A standout feature of the Smooth 5S AI is its built-in and add-on fill lights. The tilt axis includes a high-power fill light with 650 lux peak illuminance, and two additional magnetic fill lights can boost the lighting to an impressive 2040 lux. This ensures optimal illumination in various shooting conditions, enhancing the quality of your footage.
The gimbal’s orthogonal 3-axis structure allows for true 360° rotation, enabling immersive “Vortex Mode” visuals. The full-key control panel provides smooth parameter adjustments, typically found on high-end cameras, giving users complete control over their shooting settings. Additionally, Zhiyun’s advanced stabilization algorithm and high-torque motors deliver professional-grade smoothness, making it easier to achieve cinematic shots with your smartphone.
For extended creative sessions, the Smooth 5S AI offers a robust runtime. It can operate continuously for up to 25 hours in standby mode and, when fully powered with the AI tracker and fill lights, for up to 7 hours.
