No fancy editing, no fancy angle, no gimmick just straightforward and PERFECTLY does the job it - thx for posting. Now after all these trouble setting up, how the hell do you change battery by not having do undo all of these. I have Sony zv-1.
This channel helped me balance the A6400 with the Sigma 56mm 1.4. I had mission impossible to shooting vertically, motors stop to work in about 2 seconds. It was a little bad for me to give up and sell this gimbal. I am happy that I can keep it now and enjoy the videos!
Thanks a lot. I was struggling like a hell to set up. Not even official zhiyun videos are not as well explained as yours!! Pleas keep making more videos.
I've been struggling to set up my gimbal for the last 2 hours and was about to give up, because i got so frustrated. I watched 5 Minutes of your video and suddenly everything worked. Thank you so much
Most definitely the best step by step guide for setting up the Crane M2. Your video help me get it right first time (a6400 Kit Lens ND filter ) Thank you.
A quick Question: Should the Crane / Camera be balanced Switched on? I.e am using the A6400 + Kit lens 3,5-5.6. and after balancing with camera switched off - once the camera is switched on, its no longer balanced as the lens extends out a little?
Thank you for the video. I've been watching the 2 or 3 out there, but did not manage to get my Gopro 9 balanced. Will try to give it a shot with yours.
The best explanation how to set up this bloody crane on youtube. Thank you very much for your help! Before I saw your video I was pulling my hair out!!
Very helpful tutorial - very much appreciated. This is the best I've seen that you go slowly, that you provide a frame of reference as you go along. that is really helpful.
I must agree.. you have explained the setup bit by bit.. I have seen a lot of youtube tutorials for this crane m2 and non of them helped me solve my balancing issue with my crane. Well done! I really liked this video and thanks a lot mate! And goodluck with your channel! Cheers!
This video is super helpful! I watched the videos from Zhiyuns own channel and it was nowhere near as useful in my helping me setup my Sony A6100 as your video. Thank you for creating such a detailed and easy to follow setup video!
You got me up and running today, thank you!! Got it working like a charm with my a6400, and it's POWERFUL. Amazing. Thanks again for the help. Keep up the epic work.
hi, is it normal for motors to vibrate when using high motors mode? my configuration is with iphone x. if I put the motors at low speed, the vibration disappears.
Thank you very much! You did a better job than the official video! You explain clear than them, I like you use the joint stick as the point of view and do the set up together!
Here’s my setup tutorial on Fujifilm x-a7. There is no connectivty but you can use it to stabilize your videos. ruclips.net/video/30kFSZhYXGA/видео.html
Hi! Two questions: 1) Is not possible to use the record button if Im not connected to the app in the smartphone? 2) Even if I´ connected to the app, I can only use the record button if I am connected to the VIDEO MODE. I mean, I cannot use it in program 1 (Where I have selected my image preferences for video). As I told you before, thank you very much. I could balance the gimbal thanks to this video!
@@TreeTanksDev Im using only the a6500 with a zeiss 24mm 1.8. The only way that the record button works is with the video mode. Otherwise, it does not work.
Thank you so much for making a very good video I try to watch another video I can't make it until I find your video I sat and try to do follow you slowly until I could make it, finally I make it 2 our
@@TreeTanksDev Thanks . I just got the Zhiyun Crane-M2 from Amazon and I am surprised it set up easy and it seems to work fine for my Sony a6400 with an 18-135mm lens.
Can this gimbal go in inverted mode? Will be using a GoPro H9. Little worried it can’t as there’s no information online and a few having issues with it. Would be attaching a long selfie stick and holding it low to the ground for skating
I have the crane m first version and thinking of upgrading to the crane m2 which looks smaller and not bulky as the crane m. doing research if worth the upgrade
@@TreeTanksDev thanks, I just checked Weebill-S and it's almost double the price! I have to pass on that. Plus my purpose is to use for small cameras like canon g7x m2 and sony a5100 so I'll go with M2... i hear the crane m2 will b $200 this black friday at bestbuy
How easy is it to swap between an a6500 and a gopro? Do I have to re-balance between the two devices? I want to use a6500 for photo and small video but gopro would be ideal for longer video than 30mins.
Connected it but the video button is not responding while starting to record, once the recording is started from the camera body, it can be stopped from the switch in the gimbal. Also still photo can be taken by double clicking the button. W-T mode working fine
If you were able to balance the camera in all directions except for the 45 degree angle to the left is that fine? Or will it affect the usage of the crane later on?
This was a great video! I appreciated how you took the time to explain everything. I was wondering, should the camera be on when trying to balance everything? The lens protrudes outwards for my camera when I turn it on and I feel everything was off balance when I turned my camera on after balancing it when it was off.
Ahhhhhh best tutorial I've seen. I've almost got it , but after I do vortex mode. It wont go back to go mode . The mode changes but the camera doesn't move back to face forward 😭😭😭
@@TreeTanksDev ...Hi Dev- thanks for reply. Even tho it's not listed I was thinking perhaps that was simply because the NEX-5R was simply an older model not sold anymore so they did not bother to mention it. Of course, may not be compatible as you mentioned. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi, Please help. Single click on trigger button doesn't take me to F mode. I did single click from all other modes but it never took me to F mode. I cant go to F mode at all !!. As given in manual, Long press on trigger button activates F mode and it goes back to previous mode upon releasing the trigger. The firmware version is 2.02 upgraded on 27 June 2020, The Gimbal is purchased in January 2020.. Please help to solve the problem. How to go to F mode.
Hi thanks for sharing! just a quick question..do you have to recalibrate or rebalance when you changing focal(zoom in and zoom out) length with the kit lens?
Just like to get your opinion, if you were to choose dji ronin sc or zhiyun m2? Price difference is not that much that’s why i am torn... 😭.. help... thanks...
Omar Batac hey there! For me i would definitely go for the DJI Ronin SC! You are able to do so much more. I would only recommend the Zhiyun Crane M2 if you travel a lot and need portability and are using a small camera. 😀
TreeTanksDev Super thanks! The only thing is.. i have checked all the camera stores here in manila all are out of stock with the ronin sc hrhe.. they only have m2 ... thanks again godbless your channel.. 😁👍🏼
Hello, It is a great video, It was very helpful for me, I have only one question, can I put my a6400 with my Lent 50mm 1.8 on this gimbal without problems?? Best regards from Mexico :)

My go-to lens for the a6500 is the Sigma 16mm f1.4 however it is difficult to balance it on the crane m2. The kit lens actually works the best and you can barrel rolls and stuff without any issues.
I watched 3 videos before finding yours. They had hundreds of thousands of views and yours was the only one that actually helped me out. Thank you!
In other videos too mucha bla, bla, bla... but this guy is the best, thanx a lot
Yes actually…thanks for coming to the rescue
yes
*DEFINITELY* the BEST tutorial for this particular gimbal by far!!! Thumbs up.
I’ve had my gimbal for MONTHS and it’s only this video that helped me balance it properly without any problems!! Thank you for doing the lords work
I didn't notice how sweaty you got! Thumbs up for really putting in the WORK

Great tutorial. So to change the battery on the 6500, you have to take off the plate?
Yes you do
hello, have you regularly used the gimbal with this camera?
Has your gimbal been damaged by the weight of the camera a6500?

Great video instruction. Have you try the a6500 with 18-135mm lens? The total weight is 740g but the gimbal pay load 720g?
18-135mm will a too big and not able to balance. For crane m2 its better to keep the setup as small as possible.
@@TreeTanksDev Thanks . I just got the Zhiyun Crane-M2 from Amazon and I am surprised it set up easy and it seems to work fine for my Sony a6400 with an 18-135mm lens.

I want to use a6500 for photo and small video but gopro would be ideal for longer video than 30mins.
is it possible to perfectly balance a canon M50... seems like its too big to balance it for V mode?
Very helpful! Thanks
thanx for the tutorial... can the m2 control the camera's whitebalance, iso, aperture from the gimbal control like the weebill, ronin etc? cheers...
Can you use a 24-70mm with the gimbal? Thank you
Nope it wouldnt take the payload and might be a little too hard to balance.
Well presented...😊tks
Hi!! Nice video, Can you please tell me how to connect my Sony A5100 Mirrorless camera wirelessly with the Gimbal?
Hey there! Thanks! Let me check out the Sony A5100 specs and let you know soon.
Connected it but the video button is not responding while starting to record, once the recording is started from the camera body, it can be stopped from the switch in the gimbal.
Also still photo can be taken by double clicking the button.
W-T mode working fine
+ 1 HUGE thanks from me!
hi, i have a sony a6400 and i can't Vortex horizontally, any advice?
Dude thank you so much.
This was brilliant, I was able to finish mounting in no time. Thanks a lot!
If you were able to balance the camera in all directions except for the 45 degree angle to the left is that fine? Or will it affect the usage of the crane later on?
Its fine actually. Still works well. You can do the Zhiyun Weebill-S method to balance the pan axis.

Camera needs to be switched on and balanced with the lens extended. Sorry i didnt point that out in the video.
This is helpful, I tried to download the menu from offical website but it doesn't work xd.
What lense goes good with the Sony a6500 with the gimbo
My go-to lens for the a6500 is the Sigma 16mm f1.4 however it is difficult to balance it on the crane m2. The kit lens actually works the best and you can barrel rolls and stuff without any issues.
do you need to calibrate the motor with your computer using the download from the site??
Cold River Studios nope! You can calibrate it via the mobile phone app!
@@TreeTanksDev thank you...i dont have a smart phone....if we are just talking about motor speed, i can do that right from the gimble correct?
