It will update only when the battery power level is above 50%. Download the firmware. Go to the ZY Play app, select Smooth Q2, and click on the upgrade now button. Connect the ZY Play app with the phone via Bluetooth. Ensure your phone Bluetooth is turned on. Select the Upgrade Now button. This is Zhiyun Smooth Q2 gimbal user manual in English. It contains how to download the DJI Mimo APP, how to charging Zhiyun Smooth Q2, how to mounting and balancing a mobile phone, how to operate the Zhiyun Smooth Q2, and how to update the latest firmware. The latest version of firmware is 1.77. It fixed the zoom & focus failure. If you are experiencing this problem, please try upgrade the firmware. Had to update phone anyway so tried a galaxy S8 next, still no joy. Then I pdated the firmware on the smooth 4 which fixed the bluetooth issue. I don’t know enough to understand what is missing, however my S8 now works 100% with the controls (via Zhiyun app) so for me the only issue is the Zhiyun app doesn’t shoot 4k video.

Firmware version vs ZY Play App version
First, please do not confuse the firmware version with the app version. The firmware is the internal software inside the Zhiyun Smooth 4 electronics. The ZY Play app runs on your phone and has its own version update.
How to check Zhiyun Smooth 4 firmware version?
- Connect the ZY Play app to Zhiyun Smooth 4 via Bluetooth.
- Press the Menu button on the Zhiyun Smooth 4.
- Goto Settings > General > OTA version.
The OTA version is your latest firmware.

It seems version 1.77 only fixes the pan and focus failure. I didn’t notice any failure in version 1.76. Pan and Focus are fine on my Smooth 4.
Should I update the firmware?
If you use an Android phone, I strongly suggest NOT to update. You might face more problems, as I have read.
If you like adventure… then do it at your own risk.
I REPEAT… ATTENTION ANDROID USERS… DO NOT UPDATE!!!
Android Issue SOLVED!!!
SOLVED… Update – January 4, 2020: ZY Play app on my Android phone cannot connect to the Smooth 4 SOLVED! Here’s how… (1) I turned off my iPhone Bluetooth, (2) Then I powered off and on my Samsung Galaxy S10, (3) Connect with ZY Play app again and it works!!!
So, Android users, it is safe to upgrade to firmware version 1.77… at least for my Samsung Galaxy S10.
