Zhiyun Cinepeer CQ5 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer

The Zhiyun Cinepeer CQ5 Smartphone is available from Lens & Living, South Africa’s online store for photography, electronics and smart home gear. It is a genuine Zhiyun product in our Smart Phone Gimbal range. We supply it new, with nationwide delivery and local support.

The Zhiyun Cinepeer CQ5 is a pocketable 3-axis smartphone gimbal built for creators who film on the go. It folds in one step to 188 × 124 × 59 mm and weighs just 398 g, yet unfolds into a stable handheld rig with a built-in 215 mm extension rod for selfies, group shots and higher vantage points.

Hands-free control is its party trick: say “Hey Cami” to activate the voice assistant and command the gimbal without touching it. Pair it with the ZY Cami app for smart templates, SmartFollow tracking, timelapse and MagicClone effects, and switch between landscape and portrait in an instant for YouTube, Reels and TikTok. The included tripod turns it into a steady tabletop stand for vlogging and live streams.

Who is it for? The Zhiyun Cinepeer CQ5 is ideal for vloggers, travellers, small business owners and social media managers who shoot on a phone and want smoother, more cinematic footage from a gimbal light enough to carry every day.
