According to our gimbal expert
With the Zhiyun Z1 Smooth III gimbal for smartphones, you can turn your mobile phone into a professional video camera. The stabilizer features buttons and a dial that allow you to set your focus, exposure, and ISO. This helps you keep a steady focus on your subject, as you adjust the balance with a push of a button. The gimbal has a camera weight capacity of up to 260 grams, so you can also link accessories to
your phone. Switching between a horizontal and vertical video orientation is easy. While you're recording, your phone will be charged by the gimbal, so you don't have to worry about your battery running out. The battery of the Smooth 3 lasts for up to 14 hours.
Note: The gimbal's maximum camera weight capacity is 260 grams.

This gimbal is my alternative for the DJI osmo mobile 2 because the delivery time of the DJI is very long. I am using the zhiyun smooth 3 at the moment, and I must say that it is a very sturdy device, it fits nicely in the hand. Your phone fits well in the brackets that can be opened quite heavily, logical because your phone should not fall out. With the zhiyun app you can connect to your gimbal very quickly. Filming goes quite smoothly as you can expect from a gimbal. Unfortunately, there are also some downsides, such as the zoom wheel, zooming in is not as smooth as with the dji, but it goes with tapping. The active track function also does not work properly, selecting an object is possible, but holding it is very short and quickly loses the object, eventually your gimbal will make very strange movements. You sometimes hear the motors during fast movements, even with the correct balancing. The gimbal with the use of the ZY app on your phone consumes a lot of your battery. it would also be nice if the manual would be in Dutch, just like the app. That makes everything just that little bit easier. After a while filming your wrists and fingers will start to hurt because of the weight, maybe a matter of getting used to.

I've been using the gimball for an entire vacation. He makes great steady videos. Unfortunately the pictures are very blurry even after changing the settings. Also problems with copying videos/photos to computer.
