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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

The Sony Xperia C5 phone with Android 6.0 started without problems. The Sony RX100 MK3 camera still connected with some difficulties. 16,990, in general, the money spent is not small, everything is not so simple here. If some bugs are fixed with the firmware, then a quite worthy device will come out, for mirrorless cameras, action cameras and communicators. I personally do not need a mini usb -mini usb cable to charge the camera from the steadicam. There is a second battery available for the camera, and in which case there is a capacious external power bank.

Pros
  • Compactness, mobility and relative lightness of the steadicam. It is controlled from the proprietary ZY Play application. Videos have become smooth and enjoyable to watch. There is noticeably less work on Adobe Premiere Pro during editing.
Cons
  • 1. The main disadvantage is that the camera's LCD display in video mode becomes dim, hard to see on a sunny day. It is difficult to visualize the picture when shooting video. In the camera menu, setting the mode to max. brightness but it does not help, does not work when working together with steadicam. Only in the photo shooting mode everything is more or less visible on the LCD screen. 2. Zhiyun's software crops many functions of the camera. 3. The zoom is slow, at first nothing happens and then it sharply brings the object closer, you need to adapt. 4. With a sharp tilt of the steadicam, there is a risk of the mirrorless camera falling into a tailspin, and at the same time the device is quite light, about 300 grams, with an allowable load on the steadicam of 720 grams.

Different pros: 3 in one, lightweight, you can charge the camera or smartphone from it (mini-USB) and charge the stabilizer itself (USB tape-c) from the power bank during operation. Cons: I can not connect via WI-FI DJI OSMO action.

Got pros: Suitable for both phone and action camera. Axes are fixed for transportation - convenient. The battery lasted for the whole vacation when using the action camera. Its cons: First stabilizer. Nothing to complain about.

Excellent stabilizer.

One of the best options in terms of price - quality.
