ZHIYUN, specialist in gimbals and stabilisers for cameras and smartphones, has announced the launch of the SM5 Challenge; a competition that invites filmmakers to shoot a short film to win part of a $40,000 US dollar prize pot.

The winner of the top prize, the filmmakers' choice award, will receive $10,000 plus a selection of filmmaking products including ZHIYUN gimbals. Additional prizes of $3,000 plus products will be awarded to each of the winners of the five categories.

ZHIYUN, committed to its customers and dedicated to pushing the boundaries of filmmaking, has announced this latest competition in a bid to spark the imaginations of creatives around the world and to celebrate the recent launch of its SMOOTH 5 gimbal. The new gimbal makes cinematic filming with your smartphone possible. With a 3-axis design, it enables amazingly smooth movement, and offers a full-control panel, paired with the ZY Cami app.

Entrants must use a smartphone to create a 90-240 seconds long film that fits into one of the following categories: narrative, mini-documentary, adventure, music & dance, how-to (see further information below).

The competition closes on 20 January 2022, with the winners announced on 27 January 2022. The judging panel includes: ZHIYUN, Insta360, Artlist, Artgrid, Motion Array, NANLITE, SmallRig and ESRgear.
