FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ZHIYUN Launches AI Tracking Technology for Smartphone Gimbals
Compact device is an intelligent assistant director that helps solo creators make great videos
Shenzhen, China, February 27th,
2025 -
With the insatiable demand for timely video content, video creators now
need to produce compelling, pro-quality video, on demand, with
lightweight equipment, and a small crew – often only one person.
This challenge seemed impossible, but ZHIYUN has developed AI that
controls smartphone gimbals to help any creator produce professional
video that’s ready to broadcast – or even to livestream. The technology
produces astounding results for Vlogs, outdoor sports, and live
streaming, as well as general video shooting.
The rapid growth of the short video, live streaming, and Vlog
markets has led to an increasing demand for more efficient and
intelligent video creation tools. So, responding to this market demand,
ZHIYUN is introducing innovative AI tracking technology to enhance the
creation experience and efficiency for content creators.
An AI solution that makes professional videos
At
the core of ZHIYUN’s AI video tech is smart tracking and gesture
recognition. This capability allows a smart ZHIYUN gimbal to keep the
subject in view, and respond instantly to user demands. The technology
is now so sophisticated that the star of the video can also be the
director. Whether vlogging solo or capturing action shots, the AI
tracker becomes the user’s personal camera operator, ensuring perfect
video quality, even when the user is far from the camera.
The AI tracking unit installs easily onto popular ZHIYUN gimbals, such
as the SMOOTH 5S AI and CINEPEER CQ5 smartphone stabilizers. It only
takes a second for users to place the compact AI tracker onto the
magnetizing slot on the gimbal phone clamp.
Intuitive gesture control makes users into directors
The AI tracker contains its own independent camera that is dedicated to
recognizing gestures, and controlling the gimbal to keep the subject in
the shot. The system does not only follow the subject of the video, but
frames and focuses the subject perfectly and responsively. This
technology allows for automatic target following, without the need to
connect to an external app.
ZHIYUN’s AI produces impressive results with barely any effort from the
user. But, when users want more control to get a stunning shot, the
system also enables user control of the gimbal and camera through
simple hand gestures.
For example, a simple ‘OK’ signal (circled thumb and forefinger) tells
the gimbal and camera to track the user. A raised palm tells it to stop
tracking. There are also simple gestures for common requirements, such
as following a subject without keeping it in the centre of the frame,
or to count down a few seconds before starting filming. These gestures
are recognized with either hand.
Front and back camera AI tracking
Simply rotate the tracker 180° to switch the camera direction to
provide either front camera orrear camera following. The independent
tracker will continue to follow and frame the subject, and to respond
to hand gestures.
No matter what happens, the AI technology will stay glued to the
subject, with sophisticated features like re-identification and
recovery tracking after re-framing the shot. The result is perfect
video without hassle.
