    Good comparative review. Over time, I've learned from using gimbals that they are also a pain in the butt to lug around, set up, and stow away. In a set situation like a wedding, a gimbal does not always come into play, as there are extended periods when a steady mount like a tripod or monopod are better, not to mention ease of zooming, when needed. Gimbals are best utilized when camera movement is expected, but not when stationary. If you are a hybrid shooter (photo and video), they become a hindrance as pressing the shutter button can adversely affect the video being shot.

    Out of several videos and articles, this was by far the best, most comprehensive, easy to follow and clean comparison between these!
    I got a Fuji x100v recently, because I realised that my DSLR is a little too bulky to carry around on the daily - now I want to try out a little bit of video shooting with it too, and for that thought that a gimbal would be good. M2S definitely looks like the prefect fit all round (except maybe the build quality being worse than with the M3, but that I'll have to live with)

    Seriously amazing review! Gone are the days of me using a full frame camera for anything really. My preference is to rock compact cameras now and still get insanely good video. The M2S arrives to my house tomorrow morning! I’m excited! I’ve switched to mainly using my GoPro 10 and my iPhone 13 pro max for everything. I may get an aps-c camera again in the future but at this point I just couldn’t stand lugging around a full frame body with several lenses and batteries and chargers and everything anymore. I want a full system that can fit in one pocket of my backpack. The phone GoPro combo does that for me!

Now I'm thinking and to buy GOPRO 10. this design is easier to use in cities and fast moving with Gimbals Ronin SR 2. My question is if it is a bad choice to buy GoPro 10 action camera and to be able to use for Gimbal Ronin SR2, maybe is this Hohem iSteady Pro 4 is better choice

    @samuraiintellectual 2 года назад +2

    Thanks for the comparison. Zhiyun as a general rule has no quality control. Their M2 had numerous reports of the pan / tilt knob falling off instantly. The software / apps that they put out are barely functional. This is a perfect example of a company that lets it’s engineers design software and hardware without any regard for how end users might want to use it. They seem to always be playing “catchup” with other gimbal manufacturers , and not very well at that. Their firmware updates in the past have been non existent or very few, mostly to try and fix an issue that the device shipped with. Only once have I seen a feature added via firmware and that was way back for POV mode. Camera control has always been a weak point with Zhiyun gimbals. I have owned 3 Zhiyun gimbals in the past ( all purchased myself) and have finally learned my lesson and will never buy another Zhiyun product no matter what! The influencers do a pretty good job of pushing their products, buyer beware.

    • @Gemini_Connect

      Everyone has their own unique experiences. We purchased 3 Zhiyun gimbals with our money prior to being sent review copies, and we have never had problems with Zhiyun. We have tried switching to other brands and encounter many of the problems you mentioned. But that has never been the case with Zhiyun.

What’s sad is it was easier getting started with a $50 wallyworld gimbal than it is with this one.

    Hey Gemini Connect, Thanks for the comparision. I mostly use GoPro and my phone for shooting videos, I was originally going for Inkee falcon plus as it allows media mod and control Gopro through gimble and take motion timelapse, downside I can't mount my phone on it. Crane M2S seems to solve problem for both but in your opinion how hard is it to have to manually operate Gopro while its mounted on M2S ? How would the motion timelapses work ?? Has any software upgrade or support extended since you made this video 1 year ago ? Thanks again and have a great weekend.

    Thanks for the great video! I would only need the gimbal for my Hero 10 (for low light shooting). If you can't control the Hero 10 with the Crane M2S, does it make sense to buy the Crane M2S? The Crane M2 gimbal also cannot control the Hero 10.
    This means that only the light and the longer battery life would speak for Crane M2S, as you already said in your video. Do you think that the motors are also better than in the Crane M2 gimbal? So the stabilization is also better than Crane M2?
    Thank you for your help!!

    Hi, great video! Cool that you compared M2s and M3 here. I consider the M2s for my Sony A7c (wich is one of the smalles fullframe) and mainly would use smaller lenses like a 50mm prime, maybe the larger tamron 17-28mm. Do you think I can get away with the M2S with this cam, or would you still suggest the larger M3? I like the portabiliy. Tested the Ronin SC a few years ago with the Pana GH5 - and didn't like the bulkyness...
