ZY Play Control App N/A

A small gimbal works with small cameras and if you haven't used a gimbal it doesn't eliminate all shake and movement like the GoPro Hero. However, it does a pretty good job of what it's designed for - smooth panning and a moderate reduction in camera movement, which can be further reduced in software post-processing. However, the ZY Play phone app is not compatible with current Android devices. . This means that you cannot connect the stabilizer to the camera to control important functions such

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • I will add later

Beware! The thumb grip will fall off and you can't get another

Beware of poor build quality when you buy this gimbal. I really like its features, its small size and light weight make it easy to put in your camera bag. Using it with my G7XII, iPhone 11 pro max and Gopro Hero 7 makes it very versatile. The big downside is that parts literally fall off this thing. This is my second, I sent the first one back because the handle fell off and was lost. I grabbed a new one and put it in the side pocket of my camera bag, pulled it out to use it and the stylus wasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Good, but.! Best Accessory

I bought this to fit my iPhone with external lenses which had a larger payload than the DJI OM4. I can say the build quality was very good, but actually getting it to work with the phone and seeing how I would use it on a weekly or maybe part-time basis was very difficult. It took me about 15 minutes or less to properly balance this thing. Then when you look at how it works, it's going to be very difficult to do it over and over again. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and found them to beโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good Thing
Cons
  • No Color Required

Cannot charge with quick charge connector (3A)

The biggest problem I had with this stabilizer was charging the battery. I used the connector from my Pixel 3, which is a USB-C connector with 3 amp fast charging. Although this gimbal has a USB-C port for charging, it cannot be charged through such a port. I plugged it in and nothing happened and when I used it the bars kept falling off. I've tried plugging it directly into the USB-C port on my MacBook Pro and I'm having the same issue. Finally, I tried plugging the included USB-A to USB-Cโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial period
Cons
  • Annoys

Great value, very versatile stabilizer, small, portable and easy to use

I was looking for a stabilizer to use with my Sony A6000, GoPro 7 Black and my phone (Samsung C10+). could. I needed something to use all of my different cameras with. It seems the Crane M2 had versatility. Here is my first impression and I will add more details in the future. Pros: - Lightweight and compact, comes with a foam box and can be easily stored back in the box. - Has mounts for mirrorless cameras, GoPro, smartphones. - Via Bluetooth connection, it can control some Sony cameras andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • For Old

Doesn't actually support mirrorless cameras (Canon M50)

I bought this to use with the CANON M50 for real estate video. with incredibly light lenses. This stabilizer is too small for mirrorless cameras. While it may technically assist you, it won't work if you have a lens of any weight. Using the Rokinon 12mm wide angle lens, I couldn't balance the camera properly as it couldn't move freely in the gimbal because it was too big. The lens is not small, but it is by no means large. When attempting to balance vertical access, the camera will either swing

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Security

Update: returned. Software makes it unusable

Update: Unfortunately I had to send this gimbal back. The seller is not to blame. Sent super fast. Zhiyun has a very good product, but their software is running out of time. Many times after my camera was balanced and I followed the video on the Zhiyun website, the camera would fly down and hit the gimbal and scratch the body of my camera. also often the stabilizer gave an error and I had to reset it. I wish they would update their software or firmware. Such a good product but it needs betterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • glitters
Cons
  • There are problems

Vloggers, influencers and amateur cameramen.

PRO: Turn speed is constant for left, right, up and down. The app is easy to use. The setup is one of the easiest I've ever used. The memory switch is incredibly useful. , I can hold it like it's just my phone CONS: you can't switch from L to POV or vice versa after starting recording, it seems you have to restart the device. Some moves have limited range, but that's to be expected. Care must be taken when installing the device, otherwise the additional lever may slip out. The app cannot switch

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Some issues
