Supports upto 210 grams payload
Using three high-speed 32-bit Micro Controller Units (MCU) running in parallel allows the stabiliser to support a hefty 3.2kg payload, making it suitable for both DSLR and mirrorless cameras with a wide range of lenses. An improved algorithm increases motor torque by 50% and reduces operational noise by 20% making the gimbal more powerful and versatile than any other on the market.

Change things like exposure, ISO, white balance, and shutter speed all without touching the screen. You can easily switch from shooting video to stills, or choose other settings like full-auto mode.
Dual action follow focus and zoom wheel
On the units side, you will find a large dual-purpose follow focus wheel, the first of its kind for a gimbal. It lets you smoothly pull your focus from one object to another for an amazing cinematic look. Tapping the FN button switches the knob into zoom control mode so you can get up close or put a little distance between you and your subject.
Ergonomic control with easy operation
Along with the new follow focus knob, the Smooth 4 has a revised control panel for a more intuitive experience. A dedicated switch lets you change gimbal modes easily, without having to cycle through menu options. A trigger button gives you quick action mode changes. Start filming in one mode, hold the trigger down to access another, then let it go to return to your original shooting mode. This allows you to capture two different gimbal movements in one take.
Vertigo and POV orbit shoot
Among the filmmaker style functions provided by the gimbal is the Vertigo Shot which helps you replicate the dolly/zoom effect. POV orbital shot allows you to capture footage from your own point of view, giving your audience a first-hand look at the action.

These modes let you control the flow of time in your videos so you can choose the perfect speed for each scene. Object Tracking works on peoples faces and other subjects so you can follow them easily as they move, keeping them in your frame as you record.
