AI Tracking
Smooth 5S AI uses cutting-edge algorithms and a magnetic AI tracker for object tracking, allowing the gimbal to instantly track objects with or without an app, for smarter control.
*When tracking with just the gimbal, the tracking module included with the COMBO/PRO model is required.
High output fill light
The tilt axis is equipped with a high-power fill light with a maximum illumination of 650 Lux. In addition, by combining two magnetic fill lights with the built-in unit, it can provide an overwhelming lighting effect of up to 2,040 Lux. (When two magnetic lights are installed, the tracking module cannot be installed.)
Magnetic AI Tracking Module
The independent magnetic AI tracking module provides fast and responsive target tracking performance. Gesture control allows start/stop tracking and recovery of tracking after re-setting and reframing the target. Less susceptible to external factors such as strong light, enabling accurate tracking.
The magnet allows for easy attachment and detachment, working in either the front or rear orientation. Intuitive gesture control makes it easy to operate the tracking function. Additionally, it supports start/stop shooting and custom framing tracking with the ZHIYUN app or the native smartphone camera app.
*Tracking module included with COMBO/PRO models.
