Buttery smooth footage and accessories VERY Pro

This is my third Zhiyun stabilizer and by far the most professional when it comes to smooth footage. The Pro package is also 100% worth it thanks to the included useful accessories. The focus and zoom mechanisms are probably my favorite feature, followed by an image sender that turns your smartphone into a live view monitor. All the accessories may seem complicated, but they are very easy to set up in no time. Recommend this stabilizer and professional package for independent filmmakers or…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Fits

I'm a touring stand-up comedian who has started documenting our performances on the go and packaging materials for social media along the way. With zhiyun Crane 2S, I've gone from being a hobbyist to creating content that looks like Netflix has a team for the ride. The vertical mounting system made it easy to capture social media content and also allowed me to change batteries and memory cards without having to remove the camera or rebalance the gimbal. Went with a kit that had extra batteries…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Quality
Cons
  • Available in White Only

This is definitely a professional gimbal stabilizer

If you are looking for a professional gimbal stabilizer, look no further. This pendant is amazing. I liked it from the moment I picked it up. I've been using this stabilizer for over a month now and it makes your footage look so smooth. I also thought that a dual camera setup would be very useless, but I was dead wrong. I like a dual camera setup because you can have a wide angle lens on the bottom camera and a telephoto lens on the top camera. This way you can shoot a scene once and use 2…

  • Six modes

This company is not kidding!

So I'm new to photography but not new to gimbals. So when I got my A7III it was time to pair it with something just as good to capture those moving shots. I checked other brands but finally settled on this one. Let me just say if you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera, get one of those! I didn't mean to post typical camera installation videos, there are many of them. So I went the other direction and tried to be resourceful. The result wasn't bad. (This is a raw video) Okay, let's get to the…

The footage is so smooth you'll wonder why you didn't get it sooner.

I purchased the Crane 2S Pro version of this stabilizer from Revain. Besides the gimbal itself, it also included a TransMount transmitter 2.0, a 2.0 focus/zoom control motor, a DualCam expansion module, a belt grip, and a phone mount. The most useful gimbal is a transmitter and focus/zoom for use with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. The Crane 2S Pro came with all mounting hardware, cables and tools to assemble everything. I have to say that I was very happy with it, because like many…

Rugged gimbal with great features

Overall this is a pretty good gimbal, it's as good if not better (if you have a physically large camera) than other gimbals on the market at this price point. At this price point, a screen, a large payload and large mounts that allow you to mount a larger camera on it is a pretty good point. Rear arm extension when you need to see the screen. I didn't remove it as Zhiyun recommends leaving it enabled for best performance. I usually use an external monitor attached to the side of the gimbal so I

Pros
  • Big screen
Cons
  • Drives me crazy
