Hey Zed Pro Media. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm waiting for my Crane Plus to arrive today so I can start shooting for my new YT channel. Cool to see that you're in the GTA as well (I'm in the next town over). Cheers, Michael
Bro, you did one hell of a job on the setup! Perfect! There’s power in simplicity.
I’ve been told my whole life that the only way you can make it is to study for some degree and then work your 9-5 job, 5 days a week for some boss/company. Personally, I believe there’s more to life than that! My dream is to one day wake up my own boss working my own hours, but most importantly making money doing something I’m passionate about! And for me, that passion is photography and videography! Hands down I would love life if I was able to wake up and go do shoots for people, at parties, weddings, etc. but I don’t have any equipment apart from a camera, so when I make videos I just try and walk really slow so it doesn’t shake. I’d love to win the zhiyun crane plus because I know it will take my videography to the next level!!! I promise I’ll put it to good use and create some awesome content for people/ companies.
This is so perfect because I'm currently on a mission to add film making to my skill set! Actually have a couple of projects this year and this gimbal would be very very helpful!
Been dreaming of getting a Zhiyun stabilizer for a while. Thanks for the helpful video and love that you are giving back to your followers!
Hey Lee, just wanted to thank you for the giveaway you're doing and the opportunity to participate. Also, I want to say that it's really appreciated that you did that thorough review on the Tilta G2X. Of all the reviewers that were sent the G2X, only you accurately mentioned that it has four modes and not just three as mentioned by everyone else.
I could really use the Zhiyun Crane and as aspiring hybrid shooter using Sony. It would help me a lot for both learning to some more creative with real estate videography and for hyperlapses. It would be so useful to use a gimbal than the traditional move-shoot-move I currently have to do with a tripod and camera for hyperlapses!
Thanks again Lee!
Thanks man! This is the best video I found out there on how to balance this Crane Plus! I'm pretty new to filmmaking and just bought this gimbal but had no idea how it worked lol
Found your channel from your 4,1 to 5,1 upgrade video. Thanks for that, it's been a great help. A great Gimbal that anyone would want in there kit. Someone's going to be very happy.
Thank you for the video I just got the zhiyun crane plus for my sony a6300 using a 18 to 105 lens. This video was detailed on how to the balance the camera. Keep doing good videos man
Fist off, I’d like to start out by saying how much I appreciate your videos & style. As we all know, there’s plenty of channels out there to follow but few I can actually sync with & enjoy. I always take something away from you posts & videos that help me grow in the art of videography. I work full time for an ambulance service pulling 48hr shifts waaaaaay too often. My goal is to continue growing my study/interest of videography. At how I have mules, horses & many other animals. On my downtime I hit the Wilderness packing in on mules. With that & many more interests & loads of amazing life adventures under my belt, I think it’s time to channel my love & energy into a RUclips channel. Gear reviews is on my map , as well. I am currently working with a Sony AX-100 to get my feet wet with. As well as a Atomos Shogun Inferno, Zoom H6, Shure & Rhode mics...etc. What’s left? I can’t make the kind of Magik I see in videos like yours without decent gimbals. I’m blown away how far they’ve come with today’s gimbals & am totally falling in love with the Zhiyun Cranes. Especially the Plus. Again, I appreciate all your hard work in your craft, here. Keep on keeping on.
Until next time.... Smooth sailing
O’Hally
Thank you so much! Specially for showing the balancing so detailed. That helped me a lot and make my gimbal work properly!
Your works awesome man, deserve a hell of a lot more views for the quality of your content. Ahh trying to get smooth shots with my primes is proving a little difficult and this would help ALOT. Im really enjoying the world of video and the creativity of it! Keep the videos coming 🤙
Very helpful video for those who don't have a gimbal (like myself). The benefits of having one opens the door to unique story telling. Thank you.
Great review and instructions on balancing! I would use it for documentaries and travel film making.
Summer is coming up and I want to make 3 short videos that captures each of my kids passions. This would be an awesome resource to film these. Thanks for all the videos, always helpful info. 👊
Picking up one of these used, later today - thank you so much for this! Subscribed 🙏🏽
I would love the crane plus since I shoot a lot of run and gun/vlog content and a stabilizer would really help for cinematic b-roll and improvement in quality
Great review. I would love to have this zhiyun crane plus bcoz I am now starting learn and practice film making.
Such a dope gimbal! Loved that low shot from the water on the walkway. The reflection made that look amazing! I’ll see you on Thursday for the giveaway, got my fingers and toes crossed! Keep up the amazing work dude.
Took me 10 minutes to set my gimbal up after watching this video. Good looks bro! you locked me in for another gig!
Dope!
I will like to use this for documenting my remaining times in Spain while I am studying here and use this as my primary video camera setup for future video editing and production! Thank you for this opportunity!
I would love to use this gimbal for my small documentaries, as my old old gimbal broke down. This new gimbal would be an incredible and valuable piece of gear to add to my small setup as this tool would allow me to tell my stories in more creative ways with the roll mode feature.
Thanks Lee!
OMG! If i had this gimbal, I would use it to make CRAZY cinematic sequences. So pumped and excited
I have a Sony a5000 that I'm using to create car feature videos and videos on car events and shooting at various tracks like Road Atlanta for Gridlife or grassroots drifting on tight, little karting tracks. Cars are a big part of my life and I want to show everyone the inner community without car culture itself, because if you feel alone like I once did and like cars, going out to events will change you life. The community is very welcoming and supportive. Just a huge, diverse group of people that like all sorts of different Motorsports and cars that just want to talk to you for days about it. That's what I want to show everyone. I'm currently saving to buy an a7iii and a gymbal, so a gifted gymbal would be a lifesaver!
I started to film my friends special podcast episodes with iPhone x and DJI mobile 2 but ive been looking for a gimbal specially the Crane Plus for my Panasonic G9 since the price value is awsome. Keep on rocking!
Nice video, been looking at the crane for a while! I would love to have one.
Great video as always.
Having Crane Plus would be great for developing the video production further and capturing life in that buttery smoothness!
I would use this gimbal for my client work and personal cinematic projects! really enjoy your vids man keep em coming.
Always enjoy your reviews and tutorials! Thanks
Just recently moved to Miami from Puerto Rico, and been thinking about starting up my own vlog, the crane would really come in handy.
Awesome video! Would love to use this to film my car youtube videos with my 5dmk3 vs using my gopro with a the gopro grip. Keep up the great work!
The reason I would love the crane plus is because it would really help me with creating smooth cinematic shots for my new youtube channel. As well I have a 6D2 and its rather a larger camera, so having the bigger crane would definitely ensure steady footage. Lastly im in the beginner stages of my youtube channel/ career and having to spend so much money on gear is very difficult. Winning this gimbal would help alleviate some of those expenses. Thanks! and keep doing what you're doing!

I’ve been stuck on how to balance the pan motor properly with Crane Plus/A7iii ugh
Excellent video! Quick and precise!
Great video! Thanks for the detailed review and the sample clips
Awesome review. I need it. I want it to learn video and need to my travel gear
Thank you so much!!! I was struggling with this for a while and you solved the whole thing!!!
I just got an XH1 so I could start doing some video stuff. Nothing to crazy at the moment still trying to get the basics, but this would definitely help with my creativity! I got LumaFusion for my iPad after your tutorial and I love it so thanks for that!
Hey Lee, awesome vid as always! I’m mostly a photographer, but recently have gotten into video, and having a gimbal would really help with some new real estate clients I’ve picked up who want both photo and video walkthrough of houses they are selling. My friend also does short films and wants me to be his second cameraman, so having a gimbal would be much nicer than having to film lots of scenes on a tripod or with shaky footage. Keep up the great work man!
I really enjoy making documentary style videos w/ smooth b roll, 'walk and talk' interviews, all the good stuff. The crane would definitely be put into good use getting all the buttery footage I need!
I’m nearing taking the leap of doing photography/video full time. The Crane Plus would be a sweet addition to my setup as I don’t have a gimbal yet. Thanks!
This looks so cool! Many gimbals look too big to carry around a lot! I would love to use it for my videos about nature conservation and Sami culture here in Scandinavia! 😊 keep the videos coming! 👍
Nice and informative as ever dude! Great experiment with the crane there. Much peace and love.
Thanks. Not only a good intro' to the Crane + I just bought but also with my XH1.
Hi, Lee! I have really enjoyed watching your videos and they’ve been very helpful to me. I am a singer, songwriter, drama and music teacher full time as well. I’ve been trying to make my own videos on RUclips more recently because I'm very interested in learning more about photography/videography. I stumbled upon your video about winning the Crane Plus! I’m a huge fan of the Crane 2! I bought one for my Canon 5d Mark IV set up and LOVE it because it produces such fantastic results! The whole set up is a little heavy for me and also for someone who helps me film though. I have recently bought the Panasonic GH5 & love the lightness of this camera/lens setup as well as the cinematic quality. I would really love to have the Crane Plus for this GH5 camera because it would be a much lighter set up for me. I hate to have to go buy another Crane even though I really want this one. When I saw this video, I was ecstatic! I thought that even though you will have many others trying, I had to also at least try. It would really enhance my music career here on RUclips. Anyway, it is very kind of you to do this. I hope whoever you give it to will truly appreciate it! Blessings and thanks!
Great video, very informative.
I'm making the transition from photography to hybrid shooting and I've been thinking of investing in a good gimbal would help in many circumstances with production values (even if I mostly shoot videos for family and friends).
Awesome! Definitely need this to start my channel!! Thanks, Lee!!
I'm here from your latest video reminder as I definitely did not see this video review. Also, dope review lol!! Super helpful. I'd love the Crane Plus for the bigger weight capacity to help with my current a7Riii and 16-35 GM set up. Cheers!
Great review as usual! I'd use the gimbal for filming automotive short videos, as well as my kids. Thanks, keep up the great work!
hey man, first of all very informative video, what lens are you shooting with on the XH-1? Just bought one to replace my XT1 as im looking to get into videography, and not sure which fuji lenses are meant to be decent for video. Currently have the 35mm f2 and 56mm f1.2. Also I intend on making some travel content, have a lot of trips planned this year already starting with Prague next month which is why I'd love the Crane+. Looking to get some content up on youtube and just learn to become a film maker as a whole.
I’ve been getting more into video lately and trying to improve my skills there in addition to just photography and I’d use this along with my X-T2 for some nice stable footage!
I would love Zhiyun Crane Plus to make difference on my art, love the smoothness of the gimbal, wish I own one before I die
Wow! It is so steady, I would use it for my own music videos and some dope camera movements !
Best video for the crane really appreciate it
I would love to use a gimbal to add some production value on more narrative or docu-style videos I'm making.
Great video, I would use to start using all kind off video, but primarily I would use to shoot b-roll
I would use the gimbal to make super rad videos of my island and to start getting some paid video gigs. Photography has been my dream career since I was a kid and I decided this year that I’m putting all my energy into making it happen. I survived a bout with cancer this past year and it definitely made me realize that life is too short to not do what you love and for me that’s taking photos and making videos!
Currently been venturing out into the video world more and more often now. I currently have a 5dmk4 with a sigma 35 1.4 as my set up and would love a little more stability in my life! Good luck to everyone!
I would use this gimbal to help create and tell my stories through film and video. Camera movement is such important part of storytelling and filmmaking, without it we couldn’t get certain points across. I Definitely feel like having a gimbal can help achieve these results.
I would love to use this Crane Plus to shoot smoother videos with my Canon Rebel T5i.
Btw, quality content as always man! Keep going!!
Hopefully not too late. lol! Just getting into video work so I would definitely use this to start off on the right foot. Thanks for all that you give to the community!!
Nice and compact gimbal. Great for run and gun shot, I would use it with my Fuji X-T2. Love your videos (Thumbs up twice).
I would use this gymbal for pan shots/steady shots in filmmaking, for filming sports, or just videography in general.
Thanks for the video. It was a very concise, easy to follow instruction to follow.
Your video was awesome, I always loved awesome B-roll footage. If I had a gimbal I would use it for B-roll in vlogs and other types youtube videos. I want to pursue videography and I feel getting a gimbal would enable me to get some outstanding shots. I feel learning to use a gimbal would up my game on Instagram and RUclips!
I just started shooting video, and I would use it for automotive and daily stuff. Also love your work.
Would use it to step up my travel vids. Right now I'm shooting on a gopro hero and the x-pro2
I plan to add weekly vlogs to my channel and feel this would be such a perfect fit! I live in San Antonio that has a thriving art and growing music community that I would love capturing. The smoothness of the crane would be fantastic for gallery shots, sweeping by bands shots! I also want to use it for "haunted location" videos to add that extra clean look to when revealing the rooms, I'd be walking like a ninja during it anyway! :P
Awesome video and thanks for expanding my mind on ideas. Not only it is informative, but also motivational!
Hey Chelly, I went to SA for the first time last year, I have some great friends there. I’m a music producer and composer and I’d love to hear what you think are some great music venues or artists I should know about…
Thanks for the tips. I'm having fun using mines
Hey! I would love to use the Crane for travel videos. When Fuji added 4k video to the X-Pro2 I was super excited. But I went out and shot and the footage was so shaky i don't think I can use it. This crane would really help me get started making videos! Thanks man!
I do photography as a hobby and looking to get into video. This gimbal would be a cool new tool to learn with.
Hi Lee, have not tried much video, but with this gimbal it would give a good reason to do more video with my X-T2. Enjoy your quality videos !
Hey, just got an a6300 with 16-70 which I saved for for 2 years and would love to get a gimball too someday, hope the luck shines for me :) Love your videos!
Hi Zed, I hope you're well
I’d use the gimbal to start shooting music, travel and mini documentary styled videos aside from professional use for when ever I work for brands
Keep up the amazing videos and thanks for the tips
Would love one of these, perfect for family vids. What focus mode do you put the camera in?
this is so simple to follow and i got my crane to balance thank u!
I love zhiyun crane plus because its design and gamble
I want this camera..😀
I would love to use it to make videos which requires lots of movement, for wedding shoots and experimental stuff as well.
I would love to try out some of the longer lenses on a gimbal. I am getting kind of tired of all the ultra-wide gimbal shots and am curious about how something like an 85mm would behave on a gimbal. Also, I am hoping to get into filming dance choreographies and having a gimbal would help a lot with that (imitating Tim Milgram's videos).
Ti. Thanks for tutorial. what's your gimbal setting for most usage?
I've never used a crane and I am looking for something new to challenge my skills! All the research i've done has lead me to believe that the Crane coul further my skills in cinimatogrophy and Broll!
Hey may I know if nikon d7000 is compatible with zhiyun crane plus?
Hey Zed! I will use the gimbal to make super cinematic shots and create a short film.hopefully building up to a full length film
Thanks for this opportunity Zed. I would use for my cinematic video, like b-roll mode and improving my quality on stabilizing when I shoot in run, take the action footage and forgetting use warp stabilizer effect in adobe premiere pro 😁.
I’d love to use this rig to document the (disappearing) nature here in SW Florida...
Thanks much for the awesome content and the giveaway! Ive been toying with the idea of starting a vlog and this gimbal would be amazing for b-roll as well as grabbing some great MTB and adventure footage from around the pacific northwest. Thanks much!
I would love this set up! I would love to begin making home videos for my family!!! I have 4 kids, and would love to make home movies with their years growing up. So they could appreciate them when they’re older!! I currently have a Nikon but I shoot portraits as often as I can.
How well does it deal with zoom lenses, let's say Fuji 10-24 or Sony 16-35? Can you balance it with the lens barrel extended halfway and the motors will compensate for the center of gravity difference on both ends of the zoom range? Thanks.
To get that amazing cinematic look.
Hey Man, I would definitely love to add this to my arsenal of gear. I'm looking to shoot a documentary and some short films in the months to come and this would definitely allow me to add another dynamic to the story telling! Goodluck to all who enter!
This is so helpful thank you! x
I see your video and I purchased new crane plus, this is awesome crane plus👌
Hola Zed, I’ve been documenting my kinds life for some while now and would love to take my filming to the next level. I believe the gimbal will help me reach that smooth look that I’m looking for... and I think it would be a great present for my 50s!! Cheers!!
i’ve been shooting photography for years but recently moved to LA and would love to start shooting more video. the crane would be amazing for music videos 🙏🏼
Been using my xt2 mainly for photography and I want to step my video game with the new 4.0 firmware. A gimbal would also help.
I would use this for the music videos and real estate videos I shoot! Thanks for this opportunity!
Hi Lee!
I work on a Communication department in a company and we always work with a small budget and because of that we can't afford a gimbal. Videos have always been a major part of our company, because it's one the best ways to broadcast information in a more appealing way with a cinematic look. And since we do a lot of videos, we would love to have more movement in them, allowing us to improve our storytelling. In the end, the gimbal would allow us to do more and better!
Thank you
Excellent video. To the point. Thanks.
My plan for this gimbal is to use it to film cars since I take pictures and go to car shows and meets all the time. I want to shift from photography into cinematography and possibly do both! Thank you for the opportunity, I've been stuck choosing between this gimbal and the Moza Air
Even tho I subscribe to your RUclips channel I just watched the video on the Crane Plus. I received the Zhiyun Smooth 4 1 week ago and am using it to shoot videos for my partner who is an executive coach. I had wanted to purchase the Crane plus but at this point couldn’t afford it so I went for the Smooth 4, which is OK but still want to eventually get a gimbal suitable for my Panasonic G85. Thanks so much for all of your videos, I really find them informative. Keep up the good work!
