Frequently Asked Questions - SMOOTH 5S Ai Zhiyun
How do I balance my smartphone on the SMOOTH 5S Ai?
First, fold out the tripod legs and place the gimbal on a flat surface. Attach the quick release plate to your phone, then slide it onto the gimbal arm. Adjust the sliding bracket until the phone is balanced horizontally (stay still when you let go). Tighten the screw.
How do I pair the gimbal with my phone via Bluetooth?
Turn on the gimbal (press and hold power button). Open the ZY Cami app on your phone. Go to Device and tap 'Connect'. Select 'SMOOTH 5S Ai' from the list. The gimbal will vibrate and the app will confirm pairing.
How long does the battery last?
The built-in 3500 mAh battery provides up to 12 hours of operation on a full charge. Actual runtime may vary depending on usage (e.g., AI tracking uses more power).
Can I charge the gimbal while using it?
Yes, you can charge the SMOOTH 5S Ai via the USB-C port while it is powered on. However, to extend battery life, it is recommended to charge when not in use.
What smartphones are compatible?
The gimbal supports most smartphones weighing between 130 g and 300 g and with a width up to 90 mm. iPhones and most Android devices (Samsung, Google, OnePlus, etc.) are compatible. Ensure your phone case does not interfere with the mount.
How do I switch between different gimbal modes?
Press the mode button (M) on the handle to cycle through: Pan, Pan & Tilt, Lock, and Vortex modes. Each mode changes how the camera moves in response to your hand movement. The app also allows custom settings.
How does the AI tracking work?
The SMOOTH 5S Ai uses AI SmartFollow 4.0 to track a subject. In the ZY Cami app, select the tracking icon, then draw a box around the subject (person, object, etc.). The gimbal will automatically rotate to keep the subject centered.
Can I use the gimbal without the app?
Yes, you can use the gimbal in basic modes (Pan, Lock, etc.) without the app. However, advanced features like AI tracking, timelapse, or gesture control require the ZY Cami app.
How do I clean and maintain the gimbal?
Wipe the gimbal and tripod with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals. Store in a cool, dry place. If the motors feel stiff, do not force them; contact Zhiyun support.
What should I do if the gimbal is not responding or calibrating incorrectly?
First, try a reset: turn off the gimbal, then press and hold the mode button + trigger for 5 seconds until the indicator blinks. Rebalance your phone and recalibrate in the app under 'Device Settings' > 'Calibration'. If issue persists, update firmware via the app or contact support.
