Review on Zhiyun Crane M2 Official - Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless Camera, Gopro, and Smartphone with Grip Tripod by Doyun Pak ᠌

1. Do not quickly balance the camera before shooting. Before that, there was Zhiyun Smooth 4, so I took it out, put the phone in and use it, it needs to be corrected every time, because in order to fold it, you have to knock down some of the settings. 2. This, of course, is not a minus of the stabilizer, but a minus of my camera, but I will mention it here, maybe it will come in handy for someone. If you connect a Sony RX100 M5 camera via Wi-Fi (I think with all other versions of M1,2,3,4,6,7, like A6400,6500,6300, etc. it will be the same) to the stabilizer, then the control menu parameters of the camera becomes very limited, it is impossible to change the video shooting profile (PP1-PP7) either in the camera menu or in the remote control menu from a smartphone. 3. I will break the problem of charging the camera / smartphone during shooting into several parts: a) The Micro USB connector is located on the right circular hinge in close proximity to the charging port on the camera/smartphone. To connect it, you need a very short cable so that it does not cling to the stabilizer during shooting and does not prevent it from spinning. Even 25 cm cable is a lot. You can try to twist the cable and fix it somehow away from the stub levers. b) Since the stabilizer has a Micro USB port, and my camera also has Micro USB, it is almost impossible to find a Micro USB - Micro USB cable, and therefore I use a Micro USB - USB 2.0 adapter, which also needs to be bought the smallest one so that it does not stick out and did not cling to the stub lever. c) The voltage supplied by the stabilizer to the Sony RX100 m5 is not enough to keep the charge at the same level right during the shooting. I had 1 division of charge on the camera, I connected the charger, the camera soon turned off. Maybe it will be better with a full charge, I have not tested it yet. d) For Sony RX100 M5, not all cables are suitable for charging, with very cheap Sony goes into USB connection mode, instead of charging. 4. The 1/4 thread is in the vicinity of the adjustment lever, which does not allow you to fix the same recorder directly to the handle.
