Purchased as gift for my wife. Loved it. Used for our New Years Eve fireworks show and the gimbal kept everything nice and smooth. No more shaky/jerky disorienting family videos for us :) Wonderful product and performed so much better than I had anticipated.

Does the Zhiyun Q-4 clamps compatible with the Galaxy S23 Ultra sit with phone case about 12.8 mm thick?
Asked by: Tam
The Zhiyun Smooth-Q4 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer (B&H# ZHSMOOTHQ4) can handle a phone with a thickness of 0.3-0.4" (7-10 mm). So, 12.8mm is too thick; You'll need to remove that 0.35" (8.9mm) thick phone from its case to mount it in the Smooth-Q4.
