Parker all your videos are so well done. Really enjoy watching all your tutorials and comparisons. Thanks for sharing!
Nice review Parker. I've been telling people that the Ronin-S had some special motors, glad you proved it.
Hello, i wanted to get an intervalometer for my Canon 200D. Can you recommend one ? I tried searching the net.. but couldn't find anything :(
This is a very THOROUGH, well thought out, comparison.
Thank you for putting your time and energy into this. I've been thinking about the DJI Ronin S. It looks phenomenal.
Awesome comparison. I’ve had the ronin s now for a week and a half. I’m a huge glidecam guy but had high hopes for the ronin s so I bought it. ITS FREAKING INCREDIBLE. I run the same setup as you except my main lens is a 24-70. I was filming a Doc in Alaska last week and was specifically shooting a high adventure salmon fishing trip where we flew out into the wilderness on a float plane. I wanted to get a super cinematic take off of the float plane so I had our fishing guide go full blast at 40mph high winds. 1DX mark ii at 70 mm smooth as butter even with all that wind. Blew my mind. Would of been an impossible shot on a glidecam and who has room for a regular ronin... I’m loving this thing.
I'm about to get a gimbal and this review really helped me with my decision, thanks man! New sub!
This is one of the coolest products reviews, comparisons i can find in youtube so far.
Well done bro! Thanks for your very hard work!
Man your reviews are simply the BEST. Thanks a lot for putting this stuff out there and doing it with such care and quality. Best from a Swiss filmmaker, Nick
Great review Parker! I just got my Ronin S and enjoyed watching this video. Keep up the great work. Oh and I'll let ya know how the Ronin S does out of a car moving significantly faster than what you guys were going! LOL Like 60+ mph.
Well, how'd it go? o-o
So can you also use the Ronin S to do basic Pan and Tilts with a camera?
Just the video I need ! Thanks again!
Absolutely love your in-depth comparison videos. Extremely helpful and informative - in fact all of your content is. Thanks, Parker!
Thanks a lot, this was one of the greatest comparisons I ever watched between products!
Awesome!! Better review. Your way to explain each detail is very clear and to the goal. You really have consideration on the viewer's time. Other filmmakers/reviewers sounds like they were selling the product.
They have another thing in common- they’re both out of my budget 😂.
i was really reading down on comments seriously, and then... my very silent room just went loud with HAHA, HAHA and HAHA.. hahaha..
Click Faith Glad you enjoyed it :)
Totally worth it though I promise. I can’t afford to just purchase one outright, but recently I did get a gimbal for work and the quality went up, substantially and noticeably.
Nash Powersports Yeah, I’m sure they help a lot. It’s not within my med student budget right now, but perhaps in a few years :).

I am curious now that both the Ronin and Crane 2 have been out for a while, do you prefer one of these now over a glidecam? I have been learning with a cheap knock off glidecam but I am ready to invest some money into a better quality tool. I am torn about weather to continue using a glidecam or step into a motorized gimbal. Thank you.
What lens did you use with the camera, also what is total,weight of your camera, including lens, battery and extension for additional battery pack?
DJI did a great job releasing the Ronin S Essential that's $499 instead of $749. That gives them a huge advantage over their competition, in my opinion.
I LOVE the fact that your BTS guys is still using the Glidecam!
FAXXX
it seems that Glidecam are better than DJ-S sports MODE when they shooting moving thing
Glide always best
maybe
@@minjia4177 the only problem i find with the glidecam is that its waaaaaay too heavy for one arm
Great review with all the needed information and more! Love the real-world tests the most! Thanks Parker!
@parker
is there a way to place a rodevideomic on it? Rather on the camera or rather on the gimbal? and wich one for filming guys in the gym?
hey parker great review. btw where did the top 10 tips for real estate go?
finally! a genuine, comprehensive comparison video that doesn't include random vlogging shit and respects the viewers' time. Thank you so much!
Does the follow focus on Ronin S work with the sigma 18-35 and Viltrox EF M2 adapter?
Does anyone know good crane setting for holding out a car window? When I tried mine, it seemed to not be strong enough!
Love it dude, exactly what I wanted to see :D
dji Ronin S is heavy, when you do a long time shooting , it is a challenge for your energy, i find this strap, maybe can help you guys ! reference link : bit.ly/2AMqJvM

Hi,
What would you buy when you want make travelmovie , but don't pay so much ( Zhiyun Crane 2 vs Zhiyun Crane v2)
Crane 2 is much better than crane v2.
Parker I own the Ronin S and love it. Your comparison video was by far the best. An actual professional testing and comparing is great. Good job man you also have inspired me to try real estate video as I already photograph them.
One of the best reviews and comparisons I have ever watched, I have a Crane 2 and seriously thinking about upgrading to Ronin S, BTW this is my first comment on youtube :) keep the good work.
Love your video's mate, thanks for all the effort you put in.

Nice comparison man! Did you set the Crane 2 into high motor strength? The footage looks bumpy on the Crane xD
Excellent video, dude. Thanks for the in-depth explanations and all of the awesome comparison tests. They were very thoughtfully designed and let us see all of the real-world uses for these tools.
I am a first time viewer of your channel. I am very impressed with the quality of your production - the organization, the focus on the purpose of your review, the pace of the overall presentation, and your articulate expression of the information you are sharing. I am considering trying my hand at vlogging and have been reviewing equipment choices that could work well with my significant set of Canon cameras and EOS lenses I use for my landscape photography. I discovered the Zhiyun Crane 2 at Best Buy and have been looking for RUclips content discussing it. Your comparison opened my eyes to another possibility (the DJI) and allowed me to see just how I might use one of these products in production. I already have a Canon 5DmkIV and was intrigued by the Zhiyun Crane 2 choosing that camera as its initial subject for its built-in focus pulling. It was not clear whether the DJI Ronin S had that capability or not - it was the only information missing to provide me a very complete comparative review. Thanks for your effort. I did subscribe, by the way...
15:15 confused me w the gimbals being in the incorrect placement when you were rating
Excellent review! Thank you very much.
Killer video as always Parker!! Actual real world comparisons make it so much better to see which one to buy
Any comment on the Ronin S essentials versus the max-pack? Is it really wroth $250 more for a focus wheel and a couple cables?
Best gimble test, never felt board while watching.
Also learned new techniques of shooting.
bored. yes, it's a good video.
There are some settings in the Zhiyun Crane 2 menu that let you adjust the response time and speed!
Yes. So this test doesn't mean much because the "Default" settings are different from gimbal to gimbal. For PARALLAX can Zhiyun Gimbal adjust the settings optimally with the App and everything is smooth and beautiful. :)
glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.
I have a question how you can make the parallax shot ? Focus on the person ? I need to use the joystick.. I can't find this option.. can you please explain me ?
You're the best at walking people through things, thanks so much for making this video!
I'm exhausted now after watching you run so much! lol.
You have worked at the field haven't you? It's pretty normal.
One advantage of the Crane 2 is that it's available. I've been waiting for my Ronin S for seven weeks now...
When you pull the RONIN S off it's stand can it be mounted to a tripod? Is there a 3/8 or 1/4 screw hole on the bottom of it to mount to a tripod plate?
I was in the camera store today and we were talking about finding this exact video to compare! Right on time
You can buy the Zhiyun Crane 2 Servo Follow Focus which you can focus perfectly with any type of camera or lens.
Nitnelav 2610 yeah, it's a big advantage over the s
Another awesome review! Hope I can meet this guy one day!!
GREAT VIDEO! Your comparison video is amazing! Not only tell which one is better, but also shows us how to make amazing shots using this tool.
Parker, just curious, when it comes to f-stop on these tracking shots, e.g. walking or running with a moving subject, what aperture do you find yourself shoot at bearing in mind it's still nice to have 'some' bokeh if possible
always love all of your tutorials, and reviews. Unfortunately my zhiyun crane v2 started on fire last week and it was perfectly balanced. Very scary, frightening and disappointing. Not to mention painful! Worked wonderfully up to that point. but that has me gun shy about Purchasing more zhiyun products. I wrote to them about what happened and not even a reply, Nada. Not very reassuring or responsible on their part. I have not heard of this happening to others but having it happen once is enough. I lived it as did asdic the frightened people on the dance floor. I only had it on for less than 10 minutes. As I said, it was perfectly balanced with a sony a6500 on it blue a light lens. I am a long time wedding videographer and the sony a7 line and the crane have been a huuuuge part of my shooting. I have a wedding coming up Dec 8th 2018, as a crane shooter, and I have got to find a good, compact, and powerful replacement. Manfrotto 501 plates on all my tripods and monopods. Has the weebal lived up to what has been printed about it in your eyes? Have you ever heard of the crane motor burning. Thanks so much for posting this. Great video. Any updates you may have would be so appreciated. I truly want to like Zhiyun again but having this happen once and no response makes me question their integrity
gigifaraci mine went out and rarely used it, had it for 1 year and made around 10 videos. I also had no response from there customer service and I’m sketchy about buying another one!
Wow awesome job from Morocco 🇲🇦👏👏👍👍
Thanks, just what I was looking for. And thanks for cracking on with it! Normally so much mud to wade through, not so here.
I have Nikon D5300, will this gimbal work with my camera, as i did not see Nikon name while selecting the camera brand in screen.
I use the Crane 2 on every work I do with a smaller, lighter camera than the 1DXii and I can say it works pretty good, even with zoom lenses , which of course will change the balance of the gimbal. I did not experience some of the issues that Parker finds with an heavier camera. It does work very good if you don't need to get too extreme shots. So, if you use a lighter camera, maybe you're on the budget and maybe you shoot weddings or events (like I do) and you don't need to get crazy fast camera work, the Crane 2 is a very good choice and you will feel satisfied. Also, it now comes with the servo focus included.
However I see the Ronin S having one BIG advantage: you can see the camera screen! In my opinion, the real down side of the Crane 2 is that you can't properly see the screen. It isn't a problem if you have a flip screen or use accessories to mount an external monitor (that's what I do when I have the time). You will get used to that but sometimes it's just hard to use.
Awesome review Parker, really "real life" focused! You're always a great inspiration!
is crane works with 75-300mm lenses?
Great in depth comparison/review. Thank you 👊👍
Omg, the 360 barrel roll & the sports mode are just insane! Great comparison! Thanks!
After field test on Wedding, head to head for whole day... Crane2 is monster. Beast. Except fancy rubber and usefull joystick, we haven't found a single reason not to return it and buy another Crane2.
Laggy, slow, undefined movements. Back motor placement doesn't make a difference at all since we are using gh5 and flipout screen is on the side anyway.
Position of some buttons scream for mistaken push...
Overall in real-life these specs are nothing much. Controlled conditions test is one thing but 12-13h of work on the field are completely something else.
So are you saying Ronin-S is better?
For the running on both you used 2 hands for dji and 1 hand for crane
Uneven testing is awful and also proves how heavy the ronin-s is
I just try ronin last day, and its so heavy fyi, you can handle it with one hand but maybe not for long time, thats why i know that feel (even he have a great look muscle, idk), so yeah, ronin is so heavy
In addition with dji he ran on the hard lane , with crane he used the side of the grass
it's because he need 2 hands to focus on dji
How heavy is the 1dx? cause i know my 5d mkiii is pretty heavy.
I have a gh4 with an apurture Lens Regain (pain in the ass) and a heavy sigma 18-35. The issue I have with the crane 2 is that in the PL mode the right and left swings are way too aggressive and mess up the footage. I already played around with motor and sensitivity settings but this seems like not to change anything at all (not only regarding this specific issue but in general to the entire user experience). Any suggestions on how to deal with these harsh right and left corrections?
"I think the Ronin was smoother" "Slight edge to my sponsors"
I thought he got given the crane 2? Also he has a crane 2 discount code, that I’m sure he would get a percentage of.
Just casually have two spare 1DX MK IIs
hi, if u use for sports, do you use manual focus? or servo mode? please answer... do servo mode did well in fast movement??
Your bicep veins went from poppin to nearly exploding over the course of filming this video lol. Really good video! I haven't seen any footage with sports mode and I'm impressed.
Exactly the video I was looking for.
one day when i grow up i hope i can be as cool as you...
My Mate Nate นี่มันฝรั่งแกล้งคน
Parker Walbeck I challenge you if you still have that flycam to put a glidecam foot plate/base on the bottom of the flycam instead and see if you get better results! 🤔
Parker Walbeck new to the gimbal game....event and growing video...Sony A7riii and A7iii...which would you recommend?
U will
And you have like 3 time more subscriber?
Great video! I really liked your use of the 360 barrel roll. I was wondering what it could be used for, no other videos I saw really utilized it. You nailed it!! I'm inspired!
Best review i ever seen on youtube, man. Perfect comparison. Thanks a lot!
Why am I watching this? I can't even afford either one of this😂
13:05 7-10 to 7-11and 11:48 7-10 to 7-11 O_O
What about the app of the zhiyun tracking mode for hyperlapse or just following a subject; is it something you considered?
does the ronin have a follow objects mode, like the osmo mobile? so cold you theoretically make a parallax with it on a "normal" linear motorized slider?
I need that barrel roll for music videos but I’ve got a crane 2 😭😭
you gotta learn to fly
get a boom pole :)
You can record the footage as normal.. from far and near to subject.. just need to Pan And Crop in editing with 360 mode.. 👍
Post production my friend 👍🏻
Dude same haha I bought my crane 2 like 2 months before this came out I’m pissed!
Ronin S or Ronin-M(x) ?
Louis T both (;
That’s what I’m wondering too, I kinda leaning to ronin m series
I have a glidecam but I cannot operate it for long periods at a time... how do you guys do it?!
Sorry brother, do you recommend Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 as a video lens plus 50mm?
What would be the perfect video equipment?
Seriously bro that's awesome. Anyone in the future giving a thumbs down is a hater. Great job.
dji Ronin S is heavy, when you do a long time shooting , it is a challenge for your energy, i find this strap, maybe can help you guys ! reference link : bit.ly/2AMqJvM

FYI, the amazon link is broken.@@comicaboomx-d4994
Crane 2 is difficult to setup and balance, usually taking hours of trial and error if it's even possible
Yea the ronin s is so much better
I was already interested in the Ronin S when it was released, but now I'm definitely dying to get my hands on one! Great job as always Parker.
I'm looking to get the DJI Ronin S and have what might seem like a stupid question. although I want to use this with my Canon DSLR . I wanted to know if I can just buy an adapter to use this gimbal with my iPhone or my GoPro?
I just bought zhiyun crane 2 .....
Abby Yang worth it mate?
@@istrefmurtezaj6979 Hell yeah. I can do two full days of video on an EOS R+16-35mm lens. It's very stable and smooth, also super durable as it's fallen countless times. idk about the DJI, but you can swap out batteries directly so you never have the gimbal out of batteries.
@@stevess7777 would you recommend buying it if I have a canon t6i?
@@jorgegarciarojas9010 Probably, although I've never used a t6i before. I've never used it and just looked at reviews, it doesn't have PDAF like the EOS R so I'm not sure how smooth/fast the focus will be, but weight and lens selections will be no problem.
I see u handle dji better then u handle crane 2 😂
narasena absolutly true
Hey man, great video! I’ve got a 1Dx MkII and just starting to explore video. Can I ask what focusing settings you use for Sports Mode scenarios - changing subjects etc? Thanks heaps.
Thanks a lot for such a detailed comparison! Great job! But why you didnt include Tilta G2X?
American gimbals
Feels like a DJI sponsored review
Sounds like it, but believe me it is far better. I've been using the Crane Plus recently and it just doesn't compare. Ronin S is the best on the market. Going to buy one soon
How dji sponsored the review if he is giving a discount code for the Crane 2. Would u sponsor someone that gives discount codes for their audience to buy your competitors merchandise? SMH
@@fulltimefilmmaker There is nothing angered about my original comment. An observation.
Parker i need some help .... i have a canon sl2 ( 200D) and i want to know if the ronin s or ronin sc is compatible.
Finally subscribing. I've watched at least 10 good videos from you over time. Always good content and to the point.
Glidecam VS DJI Ronin S
Zoom accessories?
Sorry but this is heavily biased against the crane 2. And to be honest... I'm angered by your ignorance.
You can alter the settings of the crane 2 to create the exact same shot but you just ignore that.
Using two hands on the DJI instead of one on the crane. No crap is it going to be smoother!
I can't believe that you trust the battery life spec, it's most likely going to run out after 8 hours. I just don't understand the logic of not wanting to have the removable batteries. It's vital no matter who you are.
Activate Halo I was about to say the same thing lol the DJI check was probably nice enough to just keep saying DJI lol. I don’t trust anyone’s opinion anymore since money is always the motive!
He gave the point to the Crane for better battery life....but you’re right, it probably runs out in 8 hours anyways.
I for one, would much prefer the rechargeable battery over having to keep track of a bunch of small batteries and buy them constantly.
He even said it’s a personal preference and that some prefer the Cranes battery method. Not sure how he was “ignorant”
cyotheking Not that specific point. But for professional use you should always go with removable batteries.
And why is that? Again, I'm sure MANY people would prefer devices having a rechargeable battery. I don't want to have to think about buying batteries constantly. Being able to charge a Ronin from a powerbank or wall outlet sounds very nice to me. Buying batteries all the time would blow.
cyotheking Removable batteries are not disposable batteries. Why do you think cameras have removable batteries? So you can swap them and get more hours. Simple.
Thanks for the vid! Very helpful. Quick question Is there a minimum recommended weight for these? Do you know how it would perform with, for example, a gh5 with a pancake lens or something? Thanks
Great review man, congrats, one question, did you use some kind of in camera stabilization in those shots?
At the end......
Parker - "I recommend" - Me "getting a glidecam"
Parker - "getting good" - Me "huh maybe he's not gonna say it!"
Parker - "at the glidecam!" - Me "He said it! I knew it!"
Had me fooled for a second though!
He does love the glidecam. Lol. I have a crane 2, thinking of getting the flycam king, or saving up for the ronin s as backup. Was convinced from his glidecam vs flycam video to get the flycam but now my mouth is watering for the ronin s. Argg... I am betting that you would probably tell me since I have one electronic gimbal to get the glidecam or flycam, something that is one less electronic that can take a beating... ?? :(
"but if that one pound is a big difference for ya then you might want to consider the Crane 2"
Me: you might wanna consider the GYM...
Wow....! You did the best comparison video... I didn’t seen in RUclips ... Great job!💪
Hye bro
CAn you suggest a app for smartphone video, fr xiaomi mi 8

Hello, thank you for all that you do, I just wanted to ask you a simple question, what objective did you use please?
thank you
Did you have the Crane 2 in Strong Motor mode?
Did You Get a Early Release of The DJI Ronin S Because Every Were i Go To Buy This. It Says ( Pre Order ) Do You Know The Release date on The DJI Ronin S Thanks
How do you start/stop record with Crane and Ronin S when using the with the 1DX Mark II ?
