DJI OM6 vs Zhiyun Smooth 5S | What Nobody Tells You

Good video. Thank you Samuel.

really well done video, loved the in depth review of both devices and editing style. just bought the Zhuyin smooth 5s a day before watching this video after doing my own research and glad to see all my notes lined up with what you said, going on a trip to japan for 3 weeks and planning on doing alot of scenic photos and footage and wanted a gimbal that could handle the extra weight of my freewell lenses on my s23ultra and that would be able to do all sorts of movements freely and easily. definitely earned a subscription from me brother!

Thank you. I was about to buy either the insta 360 or smooth 5s until I saw your videos.

Please share information on balancing issues with Zhiyun Smooth 5S when attaching a wireless mic at the USB C connection of the mobile phone. Does the Smooth 5S retain its stability when a mic is attached.

Looking forward for your reply.

Best.

It is very nice that you put Turkish subtitles, first of all thank you for this because unfortunately there is no content in my country to compare these two gimballs, then you really helped me get an idea, I had used om4 before and I was frustrated, I wanted to try zs5 but I was not sure, but now I am sure that om is not a gimball, thank you again

first poin and i am ready to subscribe to your channel, i stop by the first poin just to comment and inform you that i might be your new subscriber... why? first of all, i want (or wish) you to stay true like that for the next poin or next video, you just literally demonstrate it to me there and no one has ever done that before about 20 videos i watched and not single one demonstrate it but you.. congratulation and keep it up!

Thank you for demonstrating the two gimbals in real use cases. Very helpful, very convincing.

Which monopod you use that you trust enough to mount the gimbal on it? Thanks!

Very good review. Subscribed 😊

I just brought them both what one can’t do the other one can.

I just bought a new 5s for 30usd! 😮 they are in a massive discount right now. Actually i bought one extra right after 😅

nice sir..already cancel om6 and buying zhiyun 5s.. SUBSCRIBE❤

Sad that I didn’t see your video before making my purchase. Day 1 of using the om6 and I want to throw it away. The range is crap and stability it’s worse than my old Zhiyun smooth 4.

Do you have any gimbal to recommend that is good for horizontal shots, allows panning and mic receiver to be attached?

Thank you 🙏

Is the up-and-down movement available in portrait mode?

You are right, I have DJI osmo 6 and I don’t feel confortable filming with my back camera… Im going to change

came here to look for an alternative to the om6 - my phones (huawei p30 and samsung galaxy s23) both won't run the app needed for this gimbal rendering it useless - i want to try out alternatives so I hope this one will do

This is a great comparison! You've pretty much helped me make a decision on which one I'm getting. Thanks!

TnX alot Samuel

Do you know if the Smooth 5s motion lapse feature is comparable to the OM6?

Im not even into any of this. But this guy convinced me that the osmo sucks.
Thanks man.

I thought I'd calibrated my DJI incorrectly, or that I'd gotten a faulty unit. Then I discovered its limited tilt range.

Was about to pull the trigger on the DJI as i needed a gimbal for the vertical movement ... glad i saw this video. Zhiyun it is! 🎉

Loved this video! Thanks!

I actually prefer the OM6’s sideway grip to film up/down. Looks more comfortable on the hand. It’s just a matter of preference. Maybe DJI made this compromise on the tilt range to make the gimbal more compact

I own both, I go around with my OM 6 if I’m filming very basic stuff and just need smooth video.
I then have my Smooth 5S for B roll & more complex shots along with my DJI mic’s and filters attached.

If you want a gimbal that does it all then the smooth 5S is the one to go for in my personal honest opinion. Just make sure you have taken that extra minute to balance the phone correctly.

I bought the OM6 because DJI is well known and I own the Mavic 3 which is great! However, the OM6 sucks!

If you buy the DJI, don’t get the software. It is banned for being spyware. If you pay the 159 dollars for it, it will come from China, loaded with spyware. Don’t buy anything that comes from China.

I have the s21 ultra Galaxy which gimbalbshould i buy

Im so glad I watched this video from this gentleman. Thank you sir

Great review

If i was making a film, definitely the 5s. For recording the family on the fly on holiday, with something I can keep I'm my pocket, the OM6.

Cool video best oxímoron I have heard for some time cooperate world doing things with common sense 😅

Wow I am deciding now. Thank you sir

Thank you for the review had already bought the DJI because a good friend highly recommended it. I did need something very portable however in the future any recommendations you have to upgrade? Will say most footage will go on instagram and tiktok. I will be shooting a lot of workouts or exercises as I am a strength and conditioning coach. Thank you for everything.

Congratulations for your video, everything is well explained.
I saw your video too late and I already bought the OM 6, what a disappointment, its movements are incomprehensible! And movement restrictions make video recording difficult.

Another very bad point for the OM 6, the DJI MIMO Many features of the application are not functional for android phones "24 - 60fps", while they are on IOS

DJI has accustomed us to better the OSMO 6 is a toy...

Well I guess I need to return my osmo6

What is the best small gimball right now? Because i really like the small size of the OM5.

How would either deal with the thickness of Galaxy Z Fold 4?

Great video man cheers

LOOLL This guy is so funny, love the way he presents just as it is. Genuine review, great job, keep it up!

I went to the store to get the dji osmo 6 then I caught this video at the last minute …you saved me a whole lot of headache …I got the Smooth 5 instead …thanks a lot

Thank you Sam. Really great comparison

Glad you share an actual opinion. So many people are so worried about sponsorships they don't want to be real. I found the same thing with osmo 6, the low to hi sucks and it is not as powerful but ease of use and portability is great. Get the Zhiyun for better more creative shots. If DJI had a bit more power and ability for hi to low - it would win.

I just purchased the OSMO 6 and hate it for the tilt range and that you can't shoot in Cinematic mode in the Mimo app.

This has help me load thanks just subscribed.

Thanks for an excellent review… Subscribed 😊

Is shooting selfie videos on zhiyun the same as it is on dji?

is it true that .motors are visible in smooth 5 when shooting in wide angel lens??

No one ever really talks about that basic gimbal move that you can’t do with the dji, kinda sad.
