Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo

The Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo is the peak configuration of Zhiyun’s most advanced smartphone gimbal. While the standard 5S includes a built-in light, the Combo Kit (often referred to as the Pro Combo) adds external magnetic lighting and premium travel accessories.

 It is the top choice for professionals shooting with high-end devices like the iPhone 17 Pro Max or Samsung S26 Ultra, especially for those working in low-light environments.

What’s in the “Combo” Box?

The 5S Combo provides a significant upgrade over the standard package with these professional additions:

1. Magnetic Fill Light (300 Lumens):² An additional snap-on light that works in tandem with the built-in arm light for a “dual-light” setup.

2. Color Filters (4-Pack): Snap-on gels for the fill lights to change the color temperature or add creative hues.

3. Protective Carrying Bag: A high-quality, zippered storage case that fits the gimbal and all accessories.

4. Wrist Strap: For added security during handheld filming.

5. ZY Prime Card: 1-year membership to Zhiyun’s premium service, unlocking advanced app templates and cloud editing tools.

6. Mini Tripod: (Standard) For stationary shots and time-lapses.

 Key Features of the Smooth 5S

• Built-in Fill Light: The tilt axis features a permanent 650-lux light.⁷ When paired with the magnetic lights from the combo, you can achieve professional “three-point” lighting directly on your gimbal.

• Pro 3-Axis Orthogonal Design: Unlike consumer gimbals that can block your camera at certain angles, the 5S axes are spaced apart to allow for 360° unlimited rotation and ultra-wide shots without the motor showing in the frame.

• High-Torque Magnetic Motors: Specifically engineered for “Pro Max” and “Ultra” sized phones, supporting a payload up to 300g even with external lenses attached.

• Vortex & Dolly Zoom: Dedicated physical controls for cinematic “barrel rolls” and the famous “Hitchcock” zoom effect.

• 24-Hour Battery Life: Boasts a massive runtime (up to 24h on standby/8-12h active use) and supports 2-hour PD Fast Charging.
