Face (Object) Tracking on Zhiyun Smooth Q2 with iPhone 12 Pro Max

In this video, I check out the Face Tracking feature on the Zhiyun Smooth Q2... and reveal the good and the bad! ⏩ https://youtu.be/d1NGfvh80Tg First of all, the feature is called Object Tracking, not Face Tracking because the app cannot detect faces. Even the sales page says so, but people are asking about the "face tracking" feature. Object tracking only works when using the ZY Play app, and not any other native cameras.

What is the best gimbal stabilzer for mobile phone cameras

I don't feel I am particularly an expert 👨‍🎓 when it comes to gimbals. Reviewing my first gimbal on Youtube led to brands sending me a string of more handheld electronic stabilizers.  Hey Adrian 🙋‍♀️, which is the best gimbal for my phone camera? ⚠️ Here's what you need to know first. ⚠️  1. All gimbals work well with iPhones but not Android phones.  2. A lightweight gimbal does not have all the features we need.  3.
