 Watch this video before buying any Xion gimbal and in five minutes you'll find out why. Hello everyone this is Ahmed Dan of AhmedDan.com. Today I'll have another episode of quick review video and I'll be talking about Xion gimbal. It's not really a review video but I'll just like you know give you some tips which might come in handy. If this is your first time or a repeat visit thank you for your support on this hybrid channel. I'm always trying new and different ideas to take you bare on boundaries. If you're into thinking outside the box this is the channel for you. If you are looking for more review videos there'll be links in the description box below. About seven months ago or could be eight months I bought Xion Smooth 5 and this is not a cheap gimbal. I remember paying it somewhere between 200 to 215 or 230 in that range and before that I bought Xion Smooth Q3. That was I think about another year ago. So I have you know the history on my amazon account which I'll show you in a second. So if you take a look here then you can see that the Xion Smooth 5 I purchased February 13 and before that the Smooth Q3 I purchased August 2021 and the thing is both of them they don't work. So what happens whenever it looks like whenever you're buying any Xion gimbal or anything they work for the first three four five months and then after it doesn't work. So the reason I bought this is Smooth 5 because my Q3 didn't work. It just gave up even before finishing one year. So then I bought that and I thought that you know this is going to be durable and it's not going to do the same thing like you know Q3 but the same thing happened here. So three four months it was very nice it was working properly but now it doesn't work anymore. What I mean by that it works but you know it cannot stabilize anymore. It's still you know the footage or the video is very shaky. So I'm going to give you some example I'm going to attach two separate clips with this video and one is going to be at night and one is going to be at day and you can tell that you know the gimbal is not working anymore and this is even a very light phone. So my phone is not even heavy this is like you know Google Pixel 4a 5G and whenever I'm putting it on the gimbal I'm taking off my cover or removing my cover so it's very light phone and still it cannot balance. So I'm imagining if you have a bigger phone so definitely this is going to be in earth condition. So now for the first you know the Xion Q3 I had I didn't bother to call them or send a replacement and same thing with this I'm not just going to call them or bother them for replacement but I just wanted to publish that video that so everyone knows that you know their products are really not reliable they work for the first few months and after that you know they just stop working. Then another issue I have with this gimbal that this is really bulky and not space saving so it's very hard to fit in your bag or any you know any or backpack or anywhere so this is very difficult to carry and it's not travel friendly. So that's another thing but I didn't mind that I was okay with that my problem started with when that you know the gimbal didn't work and I was really upset and very you know disappointed but at this point I'm just going to you know I'm not going to do anything I'm not going to bother to call them although this is still under warranty but you know at this point I don't see like you know calling them and getting another new one because I decided to go ahead with the another gimbal most likely I'm looking at you know the DJI Osmo pocket I think the sixth one the latest version so definitely I'm very unhappy and if you're you know buying this Zion gimbal in the future I would ask you to consider again and you know think more than once because you know I have a feeling that you know all of their products are going to have the same issue they're expensive they're bulky and they just work for a few months and they you know they don't make even the first year warranty period so that's what I wanted to share you today thank you for watching for the next video I'm going to put a link on the screen I'll see you in the next video
