Description of 📷 Zhiyun Crane V2 Bluetooth 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer with Hard Case, Ideal for ILC Mirrorless Cameras

The Zhiyun Crane is the first handheld gimbal of its kind with an integrated CCI (Camera Control Interface) joystick. This allows you to manipulate the pitch, roll, or yaw of the gimbal manually at any time. At a later date, the camera's shutter and focus will also be able to be controlled by the buttons on gimbal's handle. 3 operational modes provide you the freedom to film footage however you'd like, while the tool-less mounting components save time and effort. 3-Axis 360° degree brushless motors offer you unlimited rotation. With advanced automotive-grade magnetic encoders attached to each motor, the gimbal can keep level within an unprecedented 0.02 degrees of ensuring a level horizon once a camera is properly balanced. Due to this, multiple shooting requirements are easily met, such as inverted shooting, and low-angle shots. The Zhiyun Crane also offers a built-in wireless control module which can be connected with Zhiyun's remote control (sold separately) or the Zhiyun smartphone app, which can be used to pan/tilt/roll the gimbal as well as update firmware and calibrate remotely. An innovative battery tray design supports 18650 batteries, with the option to also use 26650 batteries (not included), providing 6 hours or 12 hours of battery life respectively. Weighs only 950 grams, with a powerful maximum payload weight of 1200 grams for almost all mirrorless and DSLR cameras. With the 1/4" screw thread at the bottom of the gimbal handle, the Zhiyun Crane can be combined with multiple filming accessories, such as tripods or extension rods, offering much more versatility. The Zhiyun Crane is the first to achieve three 32-bit MCUs running in parallel at an incredible 4k hertz. Powerful MCUs (microcontroller units) combined with Zhiyun's efficient attitude control algorithms and advanced servo control algorithms allow the gimbal to sense, compute, and control the camera to a stunning 0.01-degree accuracy, all within 0.25 milliseconds.

Much better than IKAN GIMBALS

SO SO SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEHOLDER EC-1. I am very satisfied with this product. It aligns my camera perfectly every time, it's smooth and easy to use. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that the app doesn't work very well, switching between modes is a bit confusing (compared to Observer), no way to check battery life, no "on Send source" function. Position' as a viewer which was handy and just seems lacking in explanation of the main issues I think users will have and I think that's

Pros
  • Keeping my Fists
Cons
  • Nothing here

An indispensable tool for shooting my movies

This is not the first product I have bought from Zhiyun. It's been hit or miss so far, but it's an absolute hit. The only small issue I sometimes have is that my camera is a bit heavy and sometimes gets momentary unstable when trying to achieve certain camera movements. Despite everything, it fully justifies its price. To imagine what camera would work perfectly with this device I would suggest you look at the Sony a6000 or similar cameras (weight wise). ***UPDATE**** It broke after 9 months…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not as good as it says

No software setup, just balance and go

Incredible gimbal for the money. for any money. No software setup, just balance and go. Motor on the right side so you can flip the camera screen. Camera focus control, start/stop, etc. via Bluetooth app with extra cable! (Screw screws on my 12ft boom and off you go.) Camera control cables are just beginning to be shipped through Zhiyun dealer websites. Panasonic GH4, 12-35mm 2.8 and heavy fast primes like 25mm 1.4 are used. The tripod now stays on the run-and-gun interview cart. I can't vouch…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Hard to remember but this was

Downgraded to ONE star

This is a solid crane that really moves my Sony A6500 camera with battery. UPDATE after three months and only two applications. 1 star until fixed but this unit does NOT lean forward. On instant launch it will recline (or look up) but I can't get it to fully raise. It stops about 15 degrees from ideal vertical. It's not a heavy camera problem (my camera isn't heavy anyway) because at the top everything is "balanced" and therefore doesn't return to the balance point. I can fold it all the way up

Pros
  • Great choice
Cons
  • Not sure

Great gamepad, great price!

This stabilizer offers the best value for money. I've been a professional photographer (full-time) since 1985, so I've invested heavily in my gear. Let's just say that's why I'm poor (well, it seems). I started shooting videos professionally two years ago and finally settled on a handheld gimbal. There was a time. After much research I decided on Zhiyun Crane. The price was the main factor but I have to tell you the QUALITY is top notch too. This thing is built like a tank and does its job…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Legacy model

First test: wow! So effective and so cheap!

First of all: My first test went great. It may now be the best of its kind. I've read all the reviews I could think of for the other two hot new stabilizers, but a great price and a top-notch review convinced me to order the Zhiyun Crane. Although the Canon 70d isn't listed as a compatible DSLR, the creaking of the 5d gave me hope that my lighter 70d and 35mm f/2 IS combo, rated at less than 1200g, would work - it does! This device has a lot to offer - solid construction, 360° rotation, simple…

Pros
  • Makes you happy
Cons
  • For old
