Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 14,800, and pairs the 3-axis Smooth-Q3 phone gimbal with a mini tripod, a wrist strap and a protective bag. Made by Zhiyun, the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo carries phones up to 280g and 90mm wide, runs up to 15 hours per charge and has a rotating LED fill light. Each kit is brand new and sealed, and the whole bundle costs KSh 1,800 more than the gimbal sold on its own. Collect yours from Mascom International in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Designed for YouTubers, pastors running church media, wedding videographers, online tutors and NGO field staff, the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo handles both walking shots and fixed-position recording. A standalone gimbal leaves you holding it for an hour-long sermon or a Zoom lesson. The included mini tripod screws into the base so the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo stands on a table, or it opens as a longer grip for two-handed control. The protective bag keeps the folded gimbal safe from dust on a matatu ride to Thika or a field trip upcountry, and the wrist strap stops drops at crowded events.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that bundle unbranded tripods with copied gimbals, Mascom International sells the official Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo with every item listed in the kit. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the tripod alone saves them a separate purchase and a mismatched mount. At Mascom International, we're seeing church media teams in Nakuru and Kisumu order the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo for Sunday livestreams. Walk in to try it with your phone, or pay through M-Pesa when the courier arrives at your door.
Common Questions About the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo
What is the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo price in Kenya?
The Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo sells for KSh 14,800 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That buys the gimbal, a mini tripod, a USB-C cable, a wrist strap and a protective bag, plus a 12-month warranty. Delivery anywhere in Kenya is pay-on-arrival. The standalone Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 costs KSh 13,000, so the combo adds KSh 1,800 for the tripod, strap and bag. Buying them together also means the tripod comes from Zhiyun, so you avoid loose third-party mounts that wobble or fit badly.
What extra do you get with the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo compared with the standard Smooth-Q3?
The Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo adds a mini tripod, a wrist strap and a protective bag to the same gimbal sold alone at Mascom International. Stabilization, battery, fill light and app features are identical between the two. Pick the standard version at KSh 13,000 if you already own a tripod and only film handheld. Pick the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo at KSh 14,800 if you record seated sessions, travel often or want everything in one bag.
Can the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo stand on its own for Zoom classes and sermons?
Yes, the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo stands upright on its included mini tripod, which screws into the 1/4-inch thread under the handle. That makes it suitable for online lessons, webinars and long church livestreams where nobody holds the phone. Tutors teaching from home in Ruaka and lecturers recording revision sessions for Kenyatta University students use this setup. SmartFollow 3.0 can still turn the phone to follow you as you move around a whiteboard.
How does the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo handle travel, dust and power cuts in Kenya?
The Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo folds to 180 x 154 x 45mm and fits inside its protective bag, which keeps out dust on dirt roads and boda boda trips. Zhiyun does not list a water-resistance rating, so keep it bagged in the rain. The 1300mAh battery runs up to 15 hours, so a KPLC outage rarely stops a shoot. It charges over USB-C from any power bank or car charger.
Is the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo good for wedding and event videography?
The Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo suits event shooters who use a phone as a second camera beside a main camera operator. Walking processions, first-dance shots and venue walk-throughs come out smooth, and the fill light helps in dim reception halls. Set it on the tripod to capture speeches from a fixed angle while you film elsewhere. Wedding crews in Nairobi tell us the wrist strap gives peace of mind on crowded dance floors.
Who should buy the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo and who should skip it?
Buy the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo if you want a complete phone filming kit with tripod and bag for under KSh 15,000. It fits creators, tutors, pastors and field reporters. Skip it if you already own a good tripod, because the KSh 13,000 standalone Smooth-Q3 saves you money. Skip it too if you need focus and zoom controls on the handle; the Zhiyun Smooth 5 Combo at Mascom International suits that buyer.
Does the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo work for NGO and journalism field reporting?
The Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo works well for field reporting, because the whole kit packs into one small bag and weighs 340g for the gimbal. Journalists use it for steady walk-and-talk pieces, then switch to the tripod for interviews. NGO staff documenting projects in Turkana or Kitui need gear that survives long road trips, and the bag protects it. Bluetooth pairing means no cables to lose in the field.
How hard is it to set up the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo for the first time?
Setting up the Zhiyun Smooth-Q3 Combo takes a few minutes: unfold the arm, clamp the phone, balance it and pair it with the ZY Cami app. Balance matters most, so slide the phone until it rests level before switching the motors on. Screw the tripod into the base if you want a hands-free stand. Our team at Kimathi Street will do the first setup with you and install the app on your phone.
