Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 25,800, brand new and sealed with a 12-month warranty. It pairs the Zhiyun Smooth 5S stabilizer with a magnetic fill light, a carrying bag, a tripod, a wrist strap, a USB-C cable and a ZY VIP card. The gimbal holds phones from 150g to 300g, has its own 650 lux light, and runs up to 24 hours per charge. Try the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo with your own phone at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for working videographers, event planners, church media teams and journalists, the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo handles shoots where one light is not enough. Evening receptions, dim church halls and night markets leave faces grainy and dark on phone video. The snap-on magnetic light adds a second source from another angle, so skin tones look natural and shadows soften. The bag keeps the gimbal, light and tripod together on boda boda rides between jobs, which matters when a client in Karen or Kitengela is waiting. The Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo turns a phone into a compact, ready-to-go filming kit.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell gimbals and lights as loose items from different brands, Mascom International supplies the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo as one matched kit. The magnetic light clicks straight onto the clamp, with no cold-shoe adapters or loose screws. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the bag alone saves them from dust damage when they film outdoor events. We'll set up the light and balance your phone before you leave the store. Visit Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or order the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo on WhatsApp with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo
What is the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo price in Kenya?
The Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo sells for KSh 25,800 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That covers the gimbal, the magnetic fill light, the carrying bag, the tripod, a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. The standard Zhiyun Smooth 5S costs KSh 24,000, so the kit adds KSh 1,800 for the light and bag. For anyone filming in dim venues, that small gap brings a ready-matched light that fits the clamp exactly.
Is the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo better value than the Zhiyun Smooth 5 Combo?
The Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo costs KSh 25,800, only KSh 800 more than the Zhiyun Smooth 5 Combo at KSh 25,000, and its gimbal lasts longer per charge. The 5S model runs up to 24 hours against up to 12 hours on the Smooth 5, which matters on long event days. Pick the 5S kit for full-day events. Pick the Smooth 5 Combo, also in stock at Mascom International, if you already own lights and want to save a little. Both kits balance phones well and share the same style of controls.
What does the magnetic fill light in the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo add?
The magnetic light in the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo snaps onto the phone clamp and gives you a second light source beside the built-in 650 lux lamp. Two magnetic mounts sit on the clamp, and each accepts colour filters for warm or cool tones. Zhiyun rates a two-magnetic-light setup at up to 2040 lux peak, using a second light bought separately. For church services and evening interviews, the included light alone fixes most dark faces, and the filters help match warm hall bulbs.
How does the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo cope with dust, rain and travel around Kenya?
The Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo carrying bag protects the gimbal and light from dust on murram roads and from light showers between venues. The gimbal itself has no stated water rating, so keep it bagged in rain and wipe it after outdoor shoots in dusty towns like Machakos or Garissa. The pan axis locks for travel, which stops the motor swinging inside the bag. Charge it fully before long trips, since USB-C PD charging takes about 2 hours.
What is the ZY VIP card in the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo?
The ZY VIP card in the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo unlocks membership access to Zhiyun's professional camera app features. Some extra tools in the ZY Cami app sit behind the ZY Prime membership, and this card is the kit's way of opening them. Activate it after pairing the gimbal to your phone over Bluetooth 5.1. Our staff at Mascom International can walk you through the steps in store so you leave with everything working, including the mode list and the focus wheel.
Who should buy the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo and who should skip it?
The Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo fits paid videographers, church and event media teams, and creators who film after dark at least weekly. Skip it if you mostly shoot in daylight, because the standard Zhiyun Smooth 5S at KSh 24,000 already has a built-in light. Skip it as well if you want something pocket-sized for travel; the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo at KSh 14,800 is lighter and also in stock at Mascom International. If your main camera is a mirrorless body, a camera gimbal is the better fit, since this kit holds phones only.
Can I live stream church services or events with the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo?
Yes, the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo includes a tripod, so the gimbal can stand on a table and track the speaker during a YouTube or Facebook live stream. The up to 24-hour battery outlasts most services and conferences, even through a KPLC outage. Run the stream on Safaricom or Airtel Kenya data, or venue Wi-Fi, and keep the phone plugged into a power bank for long sessions. The added light helps in halls with poor stage lighting.
Is the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo easy for a beginner to set up?
Yes, most first-time users balance a phone on the Zhiyun Smooth 5S Combo within a few minutes, because the wide clamp centres the phone for you. You slide the phone in, check that it sits level, then power on and the motors take over. The mode button, joystick and front trigger handle the main tasks without opening the app. University students at USIU and Kenyatta University often start filming the same day they buy it, then explore Vortex and POV modes once the basics feel natural.
Technical Specifications
Stabilization and Motors
- Three-axis motor control — tilt, roll and pan are corrected together, so footage stays level while you walk.
- Magnetic steel motors — strong enough to hold large phones even with the magnetic light attached.
- Standard pan range of 360 degrees — follow a bride down the aisle or a speaker across a stage without stopping.
- Pan Follow, Lock, Follow, POV, Vortex and Sling modes — switch between calm interview shots and lively transitions.
- Vortex Mode for continuous roll — creates spinning reveal shots popular in event highlight reels.
- Standard tilt and roll ranges of 349 degrees — room for low-angle dance floor shots and high crowd views.
Phone Compatibility
- Holds phones weighing 150g to 300g — covers most handsets sold in Kenya, from budget models to large top-tier handsets.
- Clamp width of 2 to 3.6 inches — grips wide phones firmly so they do not slip mid-shot.
- Supports external clip-on lenses — keep a wide-angle lens fitted for group shots and venue interiors.
- Bluetooth 5.1 pairing — a stable wireless link between phone and gimbal for the app controls.
- Works with iPhone and Android — one kit can serve a media team using different phone brands.
- Stabilizes the phone's own camera app — on iPhone the joystick and most modes work there too, though the side wheel needs ZY Cami.
Battery and Charging
- Up to 24 hours of runtime — enough for a two-day conference without hunting for sockets.
- USB-C PD fast charging in about 2 hours — PD is a quicker charging standard used by modern adapters.
- USB-C charging cable included — the same plug type as most current phones and laptops.
- Charges from a power bank — top up between sessions when the venue has no spare sockets.
- Slower adapters take up to about 3 hours 40 minutes — a PD charger keeps the full charge near 2 hours.
- Indicator lamps show charging progress — check the battery state at a glance before leaving for a job.
Controls and App
- Thumb joystick — move the shot smoothly with one finger while holding the handle steady.
- Side focus and zoom wheel — pull focus or zoom during a take inside the ZY Cami app.
- Front trigger — recenter the phone or flip it into selfie view in one press.
- Light button and brightness wheel — dim or brighten the built-in lamp while recording.
- ZY VIP card included — unlocks membership features in Zhiyun's camera apps without a separate purchase.
- Mode and record buttons on the handle — change modes and start recording without touching the phone screen.
Build and Inclusions
- Gimbal weight of 625g with battery — solid in hand and steady for planned, paid shoots.
- Size of 311 x 168 x 52 mm — fits inside the included carrying bag with the light and tripod.
- Magnetic fill light — snaps onto the clamp mounts and accepts magnetic colour filters.
- Carrying bag — keeps every part together and protected from dust and knocks in transit.
- Tripod and wrist strap — stand the gimbal for live streams, or secure it to your wrist while walking.
- Built-in 650 lux fill light plus two magnetic mounts — lux measures brightness, and two sources light faces evenly.
- Pan axis lock — holds the motor still in the bag, while tilt and roll rest on detents.
