Excellent stabilizer for DSLRs

I shoot weddings and short films with a Canon 5D3. Crane 2 fits perfectly. Exposure and focus can be controlled with the stabilizer. Crane 2 comes with a beautiful case, cables and long-lasting batteries. I also bought a Mini Dual Grip which spreads the weight, improves stability and allows for attachment of accessories like a lamp. The movement settings for the Crane 2 can be adjusted with ZhiyunGimbalTools on your computer. Crane 2 retains these settings after a power outage, despite what…

Pros
  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Style 90

Best value for money

I used to have a Zhiyun v2 faucet and really enjoyed using it with my Sony A6500. After upgrading to the Sony A7R3, I felt the need to upgrade the gimbal to allow it to carry a heavier payload. I bought a Zeiss 35mm f1.4 for my a7r3 (a heavy machine) in February and that was also the time the DJI Ronin-S was announced. It seemed like the perfect stabilizer for my needs as it includes new features that Crane doesn't have and also supports a larger payload. I waited months for the Ronin-S to be…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • No automatic control

It's really good but some improvements could be made

It's really good. I've used motorized gimbals on phones and small cameras, but never on my A7rii. Seriously, that's a whole different level for everyday use. It is very powerful and has a lot of features. It even powers my Sony camera via a micro USB cable, which is pretty nice. Although I wish they had used USB-C. Balancing was fairly easy once you understood which sides to balance first. It only took me about a minute to even it out after using it twice. I have encountered some issues that…

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Great product, great customer service

Zhiyun Crane 2 is a wonderful gimbal. I use it with my GH5 and 5DMKIV with different lenses. It comes in a really nice case and the build quality of the gimbal is excellent. It is very easy to set up and balance. It took maybe 5 minutes the first time, now it's less than 2. The battery life is amazing and so far the Crane 2 has worked flawlessly with both cameras. Not only do they make a great product, they also have outstanding customer service. When I ordered the Crane 2, Zhiyun Crane 2 Servo

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Vulgarity

The gimbal works perfectly. The focus servo is very rough and lagging.

I bought this mainly for the focus tracking ability of the servo motor. I could not find any specs or specs for the performance rated Focus servo motor. I have also not received a satisfactory response from tech support to obtain this information. This. Torque, speed, step resolution, backlash, latency, etc. So I bought Zhiyun Official's Gimal + Servo because I can guarantee that it will meet my specifications. The tote bag is very well made. The camera platform was acceptable. I used my LUMIX…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • I will write later

This is an amazing gimbal!

This is a great stabilizer for my A7iii with Sigma 14-24 Art. When I first picked it up and balanced it I admit it was a struggle and when I thought it was balanced , it wasn't. But all you have to do is google how to balance the Crane 2 and you'll find a video pretty quickly. After watching a short video and practicing a few times with different lenses, I can get a perfect result in about a minute. Weight: Not heavy, but not light either. I feel like this is a great place to do this. Too heavy

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Returns

Complete disappointment.

This is my third Crane2. The first collapsed on the plane. my fault I still have the second one, he's two years old. It has trouble keeping the horizon level, but other than that it still works. I bought this 8 months ago as a backup and only recently opened it. first mistake. It seems that the newer Crane2 models are coming with a firmware update that changes the action of the mode button. Now a press of PF to L takes you to F and then repeats. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM as the old firmware took…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Hard to say
