Smartphone gimbal for mobile creators
The Zhiyun Smooth Q4 C030116CB is a three-axis smartphone gimbal built to handle phones up to 280 g. It provides mechanical rotation ranges of 331° for yaw, 338° for pitch and 338° for roll. Stabilisation accuracy reaches ±0.01 to 0.04° when motionless and ±0.05 to 0.3° during motion. The built-in 1200 mAh battery delivers up to 15 hours of runtime and recharges in 2.5 hours.
Best for solo video work; less suited for heavy rigs
This gimbal suits vloggers, live streamers and travellers who need smooth handheld footage from a single phone. It operates between 6.5 and 8.8 VDC with a current draw of 100 to 3300 mA. Users who want to mount heavier accessories such as external monitors, large lenses or dual-phone setups will exceed the 280 g load limit and should consider a larger stabiliser instead.
Integrated power and mounting only
The package relies on the internal battery and the standard phone clamp; no extra cables, counterweights or charging docks are listed in the specifications. Makers who need extended shooting beyond 15 hours must plan for USB recharging downtime. There is no mention of companion app licences or proprietary quick-release plates, so the out-of-box experience centres on the gimbal body itself.

Questions about this item
What smartphone weight must stay at or below the 280 g load capacity for the gimbal to balance correctly?
Any phone up to 280 g works within the rated load capacity of the gimbal.
How does the 331° yaw range affect panning shots when I keep using my current tripod?
The gimbal provides 331° of mechanical pan rotation from -96° to 235°, so you can execute wide panning moves while the tripod stays fixed.
How can I confirm the stabilisation is performing within the stated accuracy after I finish balancing the phone?
In motion the gimbal holds ±0.05° to 0.3° and when stationary it holds ±0.01° to 0.04°, so footage should show no visible drift or jitter.
