Weight and phone compatibility
The gimbal weighs approximately 350 g, with a tolerance of 5 g. Its clamp is designed for phones 55–90 mm wide, and its maximum payload is 250 g. Before using it, check both your phone’s width and its weight, including any case or additional accessories.
The clamp accommodates phones of different sizes, but width alone does not guarantee compatibility if the device exceeds the weight limit.
Stabilization and controls
Three-axis stabilization helps reduce unwanted phone movement while filming. The joystick provides manual control over the gimbal’s movement, for example when adjusting a shot’s composition.
The stated mechanical range includes angles of 345° and 275°. However, the available description labels both as tilt, so it is not possible to determine which axis each value applies to.
The gimbal also offers AI face tracking. The available information does not specify whether this feature requires a particular app or additional accessories, or what conditions apply to its use.
Battery and charging
The built-in battery has a capacity of 2,600 mAh and a claimed runtime of up to 10 hours on a single charge. It charges via USB-C in approximately 3.5 hours. The stated runtime is a maximum, so allow time for charging when planning a longer shoot.
Design and use
The Smart XE has a matte black finish and a fold-out stand that lets you set it down for stationary shots without holding it. Together with face tracking and joystick control, it offers options for video and photography, whether moving or shooting from a fixed position.
The most important step before choosing it is to check your phone’s dimensions and weight. The assignment of the two stated movement angles to individual axes remains unclear.
