Is the Zhiyun Smooth 4 Compatible with iPhone 12 Pro Max

Will Zhiyun Smooth 4 work with the iPhone 12 Pro Max? 

I got my iPhone 12 Pro Max in early 2021 and the Zhiyun Smooth 4 smartphone gimbal in mid-2018.

Let's see if they work together.


According to the official specs, the Zhiyun Smooth 4 can take a maximum payload weight of up to 210g.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max weighs 228g. It's heavier than what the Smooth 4 can carry.

BUT let's try it anyway.
I did the following tests.

USING NATIVE CAMERA 

Pan Follow Mode
Lock mode
Full Follow mode
Phone Go mode
Low Angle mode
Reset
Standby Mode 
Handheld Vertical mode
Mechanical Vertical mode
Any Ultrawide Issue? 

USING ZY PLAY APP 

Menu Control  
Zoom Control
Object Tracking
Motion Time Lapse
Any heating issue?
4K 60 fps resolution?
Ultra-wide and tele-zoom?
Vertigo test

Is the Zhiyun Smooth 4 the best gimbal for the iPhone 12 Pro Max? What do you think?

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.
