The Zhiyun-Tech Smooth-Q3 is a compact folding 3-axis stabilizer for smartphones, designed with a built-in LED video light with three selectable brightness levels. It provides stabilized motion along the pan, tilt, and roll axes to let you capture smooth, professional-looking video with your phone. The Smooth-Q3 easily switches between portrait and landscape modes at the press of a button, allowing you to shoot both cinematic and social media videos while the LED light illuminates your subjects. The phone holder supports smartphones up to 3.5" wide, covering most phones.
The gimbal's capabilities are enhanced via a companion ZY Cami iOS/Android app, which allows you to set up creative movements such as Simplified Dolly Zoom. The app also offers functions such as Advanced Smart Tracking and one-tap live streaming. The gimbal has an ergonomic design with a nonslip handle, and it runs for up to 15 hours on the included battery and fully recharges in approximately three hours. A mini tripod is also included and can be used as a tripod or a handgrip extension to allow you to hold the gimbal with two hands for better control of it.

Is it compatible with Samsung A23 5G running Android 13?
Unfortunately, the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer has not been tested with the Samsung A23 5G. The Latest phone that has been tested by Zhiyun is the S20 Ultra which is a similar size and weight to the A23 so it should be supported.

is it better than dji om4 ?
is it better than dji om4 ?
DJI and Zhiyun-Tech are arch competitors. These two gimbals are fighting for the same market. They are really close to equal in quality. However, the Smooth-Q3 is lighter, has warm light for vloggers, and it is cheaper.

Does this come with the tripod base or do you have to purchase that separately?
