DJI OSMO Mobile 6 vs ZHIYUN Smooth 5S HONEST Review - 2022 Best Mobile Gimbal?

Just to add, zhiyun selfie light brightness is adjustable with the scroll wheel. And osmo 6 is extendable at 21.5cm. Feel free to check out each in-depth review on the channel.

Pan tilt locked mode in.osmo sucks

I want DJI but i saw some guy putting it ona test and it failed when phone was attached with anamorphic lens. is it really that weak ? people on comments also agreed and said they returned because of that. I have anamorphic lens for mobile and wanna use it. it would be nice if you could test the magnet of it

Just purchased the DJI OSMO Mobile 6 yesterday from Best Buy... And I should have watched more of these reviews.

I will be shooting in portrait mode for Instagram, and in doing so, I noticed I am seriously limited in my rotations. I like how quickly I can connect my phone to it (which is a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra), but not having the ability to get the angles I want... Is a big issue.

Another issue is when I add a lens and ND filter to it, the weight starts to mess with the rotation a bit. It also introduces a bit of shake to the footage.

And finally, the battery drains really fast. Not a fan of that, which again, is my fault for not reading-up on the gimbal before purchase.

I've been watching a LOT of videos on the ZHIYUN 5S today and a lot of these videos comparing the two gimbals... And I'm sold on it. I don't mind the extra weight, honestly, because all my issues are addressed with the ZHIYUN. Plus, the gimbal looks a little better (IMO). Sure I have to purchase a separate extension stick (for $30 or so), but I have increased battery life, stronger motors, and better range of rotation.

Needless to say, tomorrow morning I am returning my DJI to Best Buy and purchasing the white ZHIYUN from Amazon.

Thank you for your review on these two - and on the ZHIYUN alone (which I watched just before this). You went fairly in depth, were easy to understand, gave what I gathered to be an honest opinion, and focused on some great points.

Very good review! Thank you!

Amazing review.

So so helpful video for cinematographers🙏♥️

I want to do a presentation of how to paint. I want to use the DJI to show what my hands are doing and my audience can see by see them by DJI connecting to Air on a TV. How do I setup in easy words slowly

Thanks for the review!! It's awesome!
Would you like to test Hohem M6?

5s👍

for s5.. while using front camnera will the gimbal itself block the front camera because it looks like it is right in the front of the phone screen

Great comparison! Thank you for that video!👍

Thank you for this video comparison. I have the Zhiyun Smooth 4. Unfortunately, this last drop has taken it out! When plugging it into the power source, nothing lights up. I have dropped it repeatedly because of its bulky size. It does not fit in most bags. New Gimbal customers. If Zhiyun solved that problem, it would leave DJI behind. Now, I have to purchase another gimble and fast. As a real estate agent, 70% of what I shoot is indoors, in low light, and with Atlanta weather, that might be closer to 80%. I like the wide lens option for shooting in tight spaces. What setup do you recommend? Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

As always I leave more confused then before after these reviews. Why can’t anybody make a good gymbal that has it all balanced

so what do u think is good for taking videos on the iphone 14 pro max. what will be better then?

I’ve never used a gimbal. Which one would you recommend for a beginner? My goal is to shoot travel and nature videos….

zhiyun software is really bad, the reason why i send it back....

If you got time, can you recommend the best gimbal that without using app ?

I just received the OM6 and I'm limited by the lowest selectable shutter speed of 1/30th of a second in time lapse. is the 5s software better in this regard?

I'm looking for real estate shoots and for that job Smooth 5S seems to be a better choice. Battery and movements...

Can you use other camera apps with the gimbals?

What do you recommend for S23 ultra? Heard that only works best for iphones.

So confusing. Been doubting about both of them for three months and I just can’t make a decision😂 Like you said. It is up to what you need. In my case. Mostly indoor lower light scenery

Does anyone make a quality gimbal that actually works with newer Samsung smartphones? S23 Ultra?

hmm, hmm ... pretty bad, that after having the 6th (resp. 5th) generation of these gimbals in test, still, there is a lot left to work on. One would expect that these products will be "fine-tuned" already with almost no "but(s)" or limitations, yet it is not the case. DJI Osmo Mobile 6 is compact, but the limitations are quite annoying, while the Zhiyun Smooth 5s feels like it has a lot more to offer, but it is simply "one-level" larger compared to DJI. So, what's the conclusion? Which one to choose? Very tough to decide. Perhaps I should pick the Zhiyun and learn to live with the bigger body ... ?

by your example of walking ZHIYUN 5s is better. Looks like Smooth 5S has better stabilization.

💘💘💘

Do you think DJI OSMO Mobile 6 will support Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in the future?

Great review thanks troy london

I think your channel is gomna grow faster considering the way you represent your video .keep it up

Which one is better for buy.

No word about the payment for using the Zhyyun Software to use the S5 like the Osmo M6. It`s realy to much and the software for using the gimble should be included or not so expensive. Its money making ! Not good nothing to say about it but thanks about the honest review.

3x zoom run test wasn’t done correctly…. Dji was zoomed much further

What is the joystick for ?

Best comparison video on these I’ve seen!

So one does this but not that and vice versa, so Is there a gimbal that it’s better then these two? Good work by the way 👍

Smooth 5s is better running. Walk they’re equal, but at zoom DJI wins.

smooth 5s looks better...

So in short DJI is the shit.

Awesome comparison ❤. This helped me decided what I went with.

Smooth 5 better

I have om4... I want to upgrade...do you suggest smooth q4....smooth 5 or om6???? I film some rc car and some play with my Kids outside (little sport)

know that when you use this Gimbal you have to own 2 iPhone, one for the gimbal and one to carry in your pocket to receive calls .

no the dji is cleaner looks more futuristic

If both these gimbals merged we would have the perfect tool. The zhiyun inception mode is brilliant, but the gimbal is huge and cumbersome. The dji more compact but lacks certain must have features, for me. I may wait for the next iterations
