 Hey what's up guys welcome to our trending reviews so I've just received this new gimbal it's the Xion Smooth 4. Now I'm going to give you a quick run through of all of the functionality that this comes with and I'm going to show you some clips of me taking some footage with my Samsung S10 using this gimbal so let's take a look. All right getting into it so it's slightly a different structure from the previous Xion gimbals that you may have noticed. I won't go into more details about the different types of modes that this comes with because it comes in the same mode as any other electronic gimbal that Xion has made in the past although it displays it slightly differently so what I'm going to do is I'm going to run through some of the buttons first and give you an overview of what they do and then we can just run into all of the other features and the video clips. Right so the first thing to notice is the phone compartment here it is in a locked position you can have it locked and tighten it as much as you like there with the little screw there. Now to unlock it you just literally loosen up the lock and then you just pull it out like so so now you can actually place your phone in there and then have it in a position where you're ready to turn on the gimbal so I'll go ahead and do that now. So I've got my phone in there I'm going to power it on by holding down the power button here it should adjust that and put it into the central neutral position so one thing to know about the battery life it does about eight hours of battery so you can get a full day's worth of using the gimbal with your phone and it charges very fast because it does come with a usb-c connection which is awesome there's also a charging port on the actual pan access here at the top it's the usb type b you can connect that directly into your phone and charge your phone directly from the battery inside the gimbal which is a very nice feature to have so running through some of the features so the first button here you have the pf and the l icons there at the bottom so you have a pan follow and locked modes so obviously I won't be explaining anymore about the modes you might be aware of them already but I'll have a brief description in the description below about what all these modes do so you can switch in between each of these and obviously they will lock them and unlock the different axes based on that one thing to note you need to have is the zyplay app so the zine one you open it up and basically you can easily connect with your device using bluetooth okay so I've just connected the device via bluetooth and it's opened up the zyplay camera app so this is what is going to be used to control all of the buttons on the actual gimbal as well so I suggest you use that if you use your stock camera app so for example the samsung one then you won't be able to utilize the camera records the picture button the zoom the flash and all this kind of stuff so none of the buttons would work so you need to be paired via bluetooth with the zyplay app and then you'll be able to utilize everything on the gimbal so I'll leave a link in the description below and where you can download the app on the google play store or the app store so let's go ahead and look at some of these other features here so of course you have the record button when you press that it will start recording video you have the camera button to take pictures and then you have this button here which switches between utilizing the little slider on the left hand side either for the zoom or the autofocus so when I press this it says change to af which is autofocus so let's say for example let's say I have spider-man here so you'll see that it's changing between the different autofocus lengths on that and if I press that button here the crosshatch one changed to wc which is a wide and telephoto so basically that's the zoom levels now I can control the zoom as you can see that with the slider it's zooming into spider-man so that's pretty cool if you're really into taking video then this will be really good for you next you have this slider in the middle so what this does is it basically controls the different things that are listed around it so if I press the right hand side this basically shows you the brightness levels so I can bring the brightness up by sliding that or bring it down if I push the up button it basically goes into these settings and you'll be able to change for example the resolution to 4k at 30 frames or 60 frames per second or you can change different manual modes scenes settings the timers a bit about the camera and all this kind of stuff so that's that and then you go back with the menu button and then on the left side the button basically reverses this to show you the selfie mode so that basically utilizes the front camera on your phone press the button in the middle it turns the flash on and I can see that the flash is there in my hand so if I turn it off you can see the flash is off then you have the display button to show the different ISO settings and the various other camera settings if you want to see them on screen or you press the display button to hide that and see full view of the pictures and then you also have the menu button to manually go in and change any of the settings like you've seen before on the back of the gimbal you also have a couple of buttons here so there's a button at the top and at the bottom these are the different other modes that you get with the gimbal so you have the top one is something called the phone go mode and the bottom one is the fast follow mode so I'll leave a link in the description below where you can actually read up more about these one thing to note as well this doesn't have manual controls of the actual tilt axis pan axis and that kind of stuff so you'll control with your movements of your hands but if you wanted to tilt this in a specific mode then you can do that manually and it's very smooth to do that I just do it tilt it upwards and downwards and it stays in that position and it's quite secure and it doesn't move around so I think it's actually quite better to adjust it manually where sometimes when you're using a joystick to do that then they might just get out of position very easily you might go too far but you won't be able to manually lock in everything you like to do yourself so it comes with this nice little tripod as well that you can just put anywhere or you can take this off if you don't want to but then now you can just have a look and see some really good footage coming from this gimbal and it's very silent as well so you wouldn't hear any noise from the motor or anything like that so that's the rough overview I wanted to give you of the Zion Smooth 4 so let's go and see in how smooth the footage actually is and take a look at some clips that I've taken recently all right guys so that was about it one thing I do like to mention as well that it does come with the battery percentage of the gimbal on the top screen and also of your phone so you can see how much you want to maybe share from the gimbal to your phone or just to see general the information of how much usage time you have left of this so that's really awesome it's very lightweight it's made good material strong plastic here a bit of metal for design logos you have the pretty cool 4 smooth logo just there on the top on the axis if you do want to buy one of these I'll leave a link in the description below on where you can get it for a much cheaper price than amazon so do check them out if you have any questions of anything you'd like me to review with this specifically then do let me know as well otherwise I hope you like that video I hope you subscribe and I will catch you guys at the next one take care
