Perfect for my needs.

The only stabilizer I had before buying it was DJI OSMO. Now I shoot with Z Cam E2-M4 and this gimbal suits me. I'm not a master yet, but I'm experimenting. So far it's pretty cool!

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • sad packaging

Not compatible with all cameras

I bought this gimbal to use with the g7. After several hours trying to activate the Crane 2s and going online to figure out what was wrong, I emailed the company. They said I need to update the firmware. Also, there are no remote cables to connect the 2s to my camera as (according to the company) it is not compatible with the g7. It would be nice to know before you spend more than 400.00.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • No power

Is this already the perfect handheld stabilizer?

Yes, that's right! As a Crane 2 and Crane 3s owner, this is definitely the idea of these two gimbals with perfect design and motor performance for my s1h and blackmagic cameras. Nice work Zhiyun. And a special thanks to Jessie from Zhiyun who sent me the Dual Grip Handle (which I also recommend buying) which made my photography so much easier. Your customer service is A++!

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Just get DJI RSC 2

There was an old version but I wanted to update. It doesn't offer as much as the old version. Besides being lucky with the axes, I see no point in upgrading. Also, I was never able to get my Canon 5D M IV or my R5 perfectly reconciled with the old version and was hoping it would be fixed but it's not. I'm sure the same camera and lens was easily perfectly balanced in all three axes in less than 10 minutes on the DJI RSC 2, so give that a try first. Additional $100 charged. It has the best app…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Long delivery time

My favorite gimbal by far is

As the owner of a BMPCC4K I needed a reliable gimbal that could handle the unusual camera shape and weight distribution. Crane 2S works great with P4K. I am currently awaiting the arrival of the Panasonic S5 and I know the 2S will have no problems with this camera either. I would also recommend getting a motorized follow focus system. The one that fits the 3S also fits the 2S. Whether you are a BMPCC4K or 6K owner, Crane 2S offers you the best stabilized footage. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Stabilizers
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Crane 2S is much more stable than DJI Ronin s/sc

This is the most stable gimbal I have ever used. By placing the roll axis directly behind the camera, like early gimbals, stability is ideal. Recently, many gimbals have omitted the roll motor in order to get a clear view of the camera screen. However, this has significantly reduced the stability of the gimbals and has resulted in cameras such as the bmpcc6k and gh5s requiring significant post-stabilization for good results. The performance of these motors is about 5 times higher than that of…

Pros
  • Camera & Photo
Cons
  • No automatic control
