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

In order to really use this thing, you need to buy a lot of other things for it. More about its cost. And then for two) So calculate your capabilities))

Tested the stabilizer incomnjunction with XT3 Do not forget, the stabilizer has 3 motor modes: min - for action cameras med - for smartphones (default) max - for photo cameras

How would you explain?! That's when you bought an Aston Martin spy car and you weren't allowed to use the whole range, you get the idea). Very, very raw software, very limited! Could have been a decent gimble, but. I'm giving 3 stars just for the quality. Has pros: The assembly and quality of materials are on top, for their money of course! The idea is good, and with practically no competitors in its form factor, they could finish the software, expand the number of models under control, add…

In general, the cons are more related to the camera and its software than to the stabilizer, the stabilizer itself is made with high quality, it has good software, the shooting modes are very diverse, I just would like to get the maximum opportunities without crutches. For example, to have a charge port located in a more convenient place, and also not Micro USB, but just USB, which is quite logical. The system of assembly, balancing to make it more convenient and faster, with the memorization…

I bought it for shooting from a professional compact canon g5x mark2, and was able to connect it with a stub, although it does not officially support it, the record button and zoom began to work (but not smoothly, but jerkily). In the future, it connects automatically if you select a WiFi connection on the camera. Videos are sooo smooth even with the in-camera stub turned off

I had three jujuns the first mobile Q did not last the warranty period. Repaired under warranty. Further, the crane m2 subject failed at the most inopportune moment on the journey. stopped turning on. There is nowhere to repair, there is nowhere to buy a new one either. Wilderness. In Turkey. I found the same one on the local ebay. Worked for 1 day. Motors failed. Now I carry two bricks with me. I don’t even know whether to fix it in 2022 or throw it away here. Repair from 5000. At a price of…

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…

A very good option for a universal steadic for action cameras and small video devices. Pros: Universal stand. Works very well, lots of options. Good software, not buggy unlike Feiyu. You can hardly hear the motors running. Good range for balancing, very convenient to mount the equipment. Good range in terms of weight and dimensions of the equipment used. Good equipment - there is a stand, a type C cord. I have enough battery with proper balancing for 7 hours in the summer. In winter, it will…

This is the hardest pose I've ever had to stabilize in my life. The instructions are terrible and the website video isn't detailed or helpful. I will definitely come again. This is not the best stand for new camera users

The point and shoot camera was shaky no matter how much I calibrated or what settings I used. They do not endorse the product and charge a $41 restocking fee. Made in China crap that will fail in a few months.

I really wanted to use this product as it is really versatile and allows you to use a small DSLR, a pro camera or a phone. The materials appear to be of good quality, but assembly is extremely difficult. It takes 1 to 2 hours to balance and still feels uncomfortable. Maybe it's just me, but still it's a terrible user experience. management makes no sense. The instructions are terrible. A very impractical product for on the go. When I use my phone and get a message, forget it's shooting. There…

Purchased March 2021. Broke out in September 2021. For 6 months it was a decent stabilizer. I used it with my GoPro Hero 9. During a photo shoot I put it on a tripod for 2 minutes while getting something out of my camera bag. I heard the gimbal start making a weird rattling noise and then the motors stopped completely and have not run since. Went back and forth with support for a replacement. They sent me a Word document form and an Excel spreadsheet form to fill out. I have to pay shipping to…

The stabilizer is great when you have a lens fully centered on the mount. I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, SmallRig Phone Cage #3077, Moment Anamorphic/18mm Wide/58mm Telephoto lens and CPL/VND filter. Generally, my weight is 550 grams. Knowing that lenses compensate for the weight, I figured there was a way to counteract the off-center weight. There's really no way to do this without duct tape attaching the coins and coins to the base. Honestly there is no way to add extra counterweights. My other

Works like a charm, allowed me to record amazing 4K videos on the ZV-1. I now use it to complement my Sony 4K AX-100 with a large telephoto lens. Balancing the camera is actually quite simple, don't overdo it. If it looks balanced (there's almost no resistance to rotation about the three main axes), then it's balanced! It's not about stressing the motors, it really doesn't take 3 hour YouTube videos to balance :-). You can move forward and backward on three axes to fine-tune the balance. Just…

First of all, I fell in love with this product as soon as I opened the box. Excellent build quality and the product fits your hand very well. I bought it with my new GoPro Hero 9 and had high hopes of using this product to enhance my creative talent, but unfortunately my joy was short-lived. I've watched many videos on how to balance an m2 faucet with GoPro. and from there my arduous journey began. Before I talk about that, you should know that along with my action camera I also bought the Hero

First, I use it for my iPhone 11 with an anamorphic lens attachment. I felt that my other gimbal couldn't handle the extra weight even with counterweights. That's why I bought CM2. This will be the basis of my evaluation. Two things keep me from being the perfect stabilizer. First, the ZY Play app. Camera for phone app is as simple as it gets. Motionlapse mode is terrible. You cannot specify where the camera should point. The built-in presets for this are weird, as they have weird starting…

I bought a Weebill lab earlier this year and it has been one of my best purchases to date. It was a harness that suited my needs. Small, light and has enough weight capacity for my setup. I wasn't planning on buying another gimbal any time soon because the Weebill is more than enough and I don't plan on using a bigger camera than the one I already have. However, everything changed with the announcement of the Crane M2. I realized that there were times and moments when I wanted to be discreet…

I am just starting out in the world of photography and videography. I have an a6000 with a kit lens. I travel and eat, so having a lot of complex gear is a problem for me when I'm backpacking a lot. I tried to choose between Crane M and Crane M2. I'm very glad I chose the Crane M2 and here's why! Crane M2 Pros: A brand new product, so lots of support and better software! The thing is light and small! Great for long term storage and easy to pack away for all travel needs! The build quality is…
