As a pioneer and no.1 brand in the gimbal market, ZHIYUN is earnestly committed to its customers. Its dedication to R&D and its innovative gimbal product range ignite the passion and imagination of every filmmaker. To celebrate this global sports festival, ZHIYUN is launching its exclusive summer campaign: “Steady for the World Cup”. Running from June 11 to June 30, this limited-time event introduces the ultimate smartphone creator setup, designed to help fans push the boundaries of video creation and share their unique football journey with the world.

1. Eliminate Camera Shake: Frame Every Historic Goal with Cinematic Stability
The World Cup is an emotional rollercoaster where split-second movements define history. For smartphone creators, capturing these dynamic moments is often a frustrating battle against camera shake. When your favorite team scores a last-minute winner and the entire room erupts into chaotic celebration, holding a phone steady becomes physically impossible. This is where professional stabilization becomes your ultimate game-changer.
The ZHIYUN Smooth Q5 Ultra is a premium 3-axis smartphone stabilizer engineered precisely for creators on the move. Utilizing ZHIYUN’s industry-leading stabilization algorithms, it smooths out aggressive bounces, sudden pans, and celebratory jumps, ensuring your footage remains buttery-smooth even in the middle of a rowdy crowd.
What makes it a secret weapon for football vloggers is its built-in 215mm extendable rod. It allows you to easily shoot over the heads of crowds at watch parties for immersive high-angle master shots, or pull back for wide-angle selfies that perfectly frame both your emotional expressions and the giant stadium screens behind you. Packed with advanced AI tracking and intuitive gesture controls, the Smooth Q5 Ultra keeps the camera locked onto you or the action seamlessly, allowing you to focus entirely on enjoying the match.

2. Conquer the Night: Ultra-Bright 60W Pocket Lighting to Bring Match Night to Life
Many of the most dramatic World Cup showdowns and late-night celebrations happen under challenging low-light conditions—dim sports bars, neon-lit outdoor fan zones, or poorly lit backyard screening parties. Smartphones typically struggle in these environments, resulting in grainy, underexposed videos that drain the energy right out of your content. To make your match-day watch party vlogs stand out on social media, professional lighting is non-negotiable.
Enter the ZHIYUN FIVERAY M60 Ultra. Do not be fooled by its sleek, pocket-sized design; this highly portable RGB light packs a massive, professional-grade 60W power output. Featuring a custom-engineered multi-lens optical structure, it delivers up to 6 times the brightness of standard LED chips, instantly turning a dim corner into a vibrant broadcast studio.

With an exceptional color rendering standard of CRI ≥95 and TLCI ≥98, the M60 Ultra ensures that your team’s jersey colors, face paint, and genuine emotions look rich and natural without tedious post-production color grading. Even better, with full-color RGB customization and Bluetooth Mesh Control via the ZY Vega App, you can sync your lighting setup to match your country’s team colors, instantly amping up the atmosphere and immersion of your watch party.
3. The Ultimate Field Setup: Seamless Creation from Street Vlogs to Intense Watch Parties
When you pair the smooth motion of the ZHIYUN Smooth Q5 Ultra with the raw power of the ZHIYUN FIVERAY M60 Ultra, you unlock the ultimate entry-level powerhouse combo for sports content creation. This duo seamlessly masters the two primary filming environments of the tournament:
The Fan Match-Day Vlog: For creators exploring the host cities or walking among roaring stadium crowds, portability and battery life are critical. The Smooth Q5 Ultra delivers an impressive 11.5 hours of battery life and supports charging on the go. Paired with the M60 Ultra’s robust 4500mAh internal battery and Type-C PD fast charging, you have a completely wireless, lightweight rig ready to document everything from pre-match parades to late-night post-game reviews.
The Match-Day Watch Party: Inside high-energy, crowded venues, use the Smooth Q5 Ultra’s magnetic fill light for quick, close-up vlogging adjustments. Simultaneously, deploy the M60 Ultra with its magnetic ZY mount modifiers (like softboxes or diffusers) to blanket your entire party space in beautiful, cinematic ambient light. Thanks to its upgraded DynaVort Cooling System MK II, the M60 Ultra can run at full power throughout the full 90 minutes and extra time without overheating, ensuring it never drops the ball when the tension peaks.
