4:58 “when powering on the gimbal, when powering on the jimbal”. I’ve directed and edited many voice over sessions, and this is simply the fault of the editor. I’m sure the director doesn’t speak complete English and so was unable to give the VO talent a decision on how the word “gimbal” is supposed to sound, so they went for both variations, with the expectation that they’d ask someone who speaks English which one is correct. Clearly they never got around to asking someone by the time they started editing, and on top of that, the editor left both takes into the final edit - perhaps to make sure that at least one of the sentences would be the correct one. Geez.
The narration's a bit sloppy, lucky for you guys the actual Crane 2 is amazing! I bought it with the hopes it could replace my Ronin-M for nearly everything, and it totally delivered!
hey im getting x every time i switch on this zhiyun. what must be the problem pleaseeeeeeeee....,.... help my carrier just stoped pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Daaamn! This has everything your would want in a gimbal. As a Canon shooter the payload restrictions make the zhiyun crane a little less convenient. This new version is outstanding. If the price is right I will be upgrading soon.
I am having mechanical issues with the plate. This video illustrate the camera entering the back of the gimbal and sliding towards the front of it. My gimbal only allows me to slide the camera from the front of the gimbal to the back. Essentially both the arrow on the plate and the arrow on the gimbal points towards the rear motor which makes it very annoying when switching the camera from the gimbal to the Manfrotto tripod. Please let me know how i ca fix this issue.
Does anyone know if it would support the a7sii with a Sony FE 28-135 cinema style lens. The lens is heavy has its own mount and wouldn't fit on my v2 crane.
Seems my Crane 2 and GH5 with the control cable attached only records video for 1 second when I press the REC button on the gimbal. The video starts, but then stops 1 second later. Any fix for this?
Why is my plate setup to be put in backwards? and why is the the support screw attached to my plate? I can't use it when I position it the correct way to balance my camera, so weird...
Hallo lieber Zhiyun Crane 2 nutzer ich habe Canon XC 10 Kamera ich versuche seite 2 tage mit gimbal verbindung aber leider keine Verbindung geht über Haupt nicht mit canon xc 10.Canon hat Mini USB ausgang wo kann die hehler liegt? Brauche ich ihre Hilfe Grüss aus Germany.
Please reply, Zhiyn-tech. Thanks. Was I sent the wrong parts... maybe for an older version? My Crane 2 doesn't have the exact same components as is seen here. As I see someone else commented about here, I can only instal the baseplate with the arrow facing towards the back of the camera and have to slide it in backwards from the front. My quick release plate has markers beyond 9, but the one in this video goes up to 8. And my quick release plate has the hole to screw in the lens support in on the end that has the back end of the arrow. in this video the is no place to screw the lens support into the plate and is instead on the part you slide the plate into. In this video that part where you slide the plate into has a long opening for what I guess is the lens support. That part of my system doesn't have any such slit there and is solid on the front and back sides. I'm wondering if these differences have something to do with the fact that the gimbal loses control of my 5D Mark IV that flips back or forward when tilted too much.
I have problems with my Canon 5D IV with a Canon 24-70mm, it touches the Zhiyun Crane 2, when turning around? And I get this text from Zhiyun Support: I think your camera volume is too large that it will touch the pan axis, and this can't be solved. Hope you can understand, thanks. - Wau... This video is with the same setup???
Hi, I just have it for the Sony A7RII, but I cannot plug my monitor as the sony angle cable obstruct the micro HDMI port. I was wondering why Zhiyun not made it straight, or at least make the angle up !?? So, is there a Sony cable that plug straight ? or can I download a pin assignment from micro USB to Sony Multiport ? Thanks
I need an answer for this too.. Can you please test it and confirm. Weight looks ok with most basic lenses but I am concerned about width and height of the camera.
I’m wondering if this gimbal will work with a 70d and the sigma 18-35 art being that the lens is long causing the camera to hit the back motor, that’s the problem I’m having with my beholder ds1
I had canon 6D. I don’t see canon control cable included if I buy the crane 2. How do I control my 6D with panel at the crane like follow focus, zoom in/out etc?
Hello Zhiyun-Tech, Im just about to buy the Crane 2, i just wondering if i can use all the features it haves on my Canon 760D, can you please help me fast.. Im one click away from buying it.
will it work with the sony A9 (673gm) and the 16-35mm F2.8 (680gm), i have the crane V2 and the 16-35 F2 makes it too front heavy. To balance it properly it hits the back of the gimbal
Is there a way to move which side the follow focus knob is on? It's position looks like it would be somewhat difficult for left handed users to do use the main controls with their left hand.
Hi White Wulfe, I interviewed my left handed colleague, she's been testing the Crane 2 for a while, and she says nothing uncomfortable using it on that side, I hope this turns out the same for you :D
Can you please confirm if it is compatible with the Canon 1 DX mark ii.. I am concerned about the height and width of the camera. Trying to decide between this and the moza.
I'm struggling with the balance of my Crane 2 with a 5D Mark III and a 24-105 lens. I can balance it perfectly level but when I move it to a different position (like is says in all the tutorials) it's supposed to stay in that position - but mine just keeps flopping back to its leveled position. I've re calibrated it via the app. Once I've balanced, with the camera facing forward I can point the camera down and up and it'll stay put like it should do, but if I roll to either side, it always rolls back to center. Is it me or have i just purchased a faulty gimbal?
Hi, My follow focus on the crane 2 doesn't seem to work and when I does work, it works extremely slow. I have to turn the wheel over 50times for me to be able to eventually focus while making some clicking noise during the process. I have updated both the firmware for the crane and camera but still no change. Do you have any solutions for this?
Hi, thank you for the tutorial, super helpful. I managed to get everything balanced, I turned it on for the first time, and it worked perfect. But after I turned it off it seems it not in balance anymore. Is that normal?
can you please explain more on the follow focus? is it done physically or thru software? I see no gear being attached to the lens for focus adjustments. does follow system work for canon mirrorless cameras like the m6? is there any lens requirement? thanks!
Haloo.. i'll ask u.. why my zhiyun crane 2 can't use roll axis in the Lock mode? How i should to do? I try with zhiyun assistan, i cant too.. Please help me, thanks..
Wow, looks great! Does anyone know if it works with sony a6500, mc-11 adapter and sigma 18-35 f1,8 lens? This setup is very front heavy why it does not really work with the normal crane. thank you!
Nathan van Jole, it depends on not only what camera you use but also what lens you're using, while you connecting the gimbal with Canon cable via bluetooth that will work, but I can't make sure it must be work cuz i don't know your exact lenes.
Woho Zhiyun, Congratulations. You are making thousands of Cinematographers happy. But one doubt please solve it. Does its Follow Focus work with Canon EOS 700D?? Please let me know.
Puerta Films, Zhiyun will soon release a mechanical follow focus control part to feature pull focus on Sony too. For the time being this is our best solution to make more people happy with this feature. As electronic control works only for Canon lenses currently.
Hi Zhiyun, is this the old model above? Or the new one? My all new crane 2 looks different, the mounting plate is different, with different screws, screws pointing up?´I cant mount my 5D... not so nice... what to do?
This is AWESOME! I just purchased the ZC2! I am using this for Real Estate. What are the ideal custom settings for the ZC2 to be used in Real Estate? I am shooting with the Sony A6500, Sony 10-18mm lens. If you or any of the members have recommendations on the video settings for the A6500 I would greatly appreciate it?

Thanks Srod Almenara :)
Absolutely. Hope the app is fixed now
Can't agree more. I've been waiting this gimbal for long time, for my Canon Haha

How to turn on the crane’s Bluetooth?
i have nikon camera... is it campatible with this about follow focus?
hey im getting x every time i switch on this zhiyun. what must be the problem pleaseeeeeeeee....,.... help my carrier just stoped pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I love the way he says "screw"..
Daaamn! This has everything your would want in a gimbal. As a Canon shooter the payload restrictions make the zhiyun crane a little less convenient. This new version is outstanding. If the price is right I will be upgrading soon.
Pre-order price from B&H is $749, FYI.
BUT, can it fit a GH5 with metabones and canon glass / sigma art 18-35 with a ND filter.... ?
I absolutely love the ZC2. I prefer it over stedicams twice the price. Also… my new favourite voiceover ever.
don't change :)
With Canon, it's awesome.Congratulations Zhiyun-tech
My oled display does not come on when I press the power button. Is there something I am not doing? thanks so much for your help
Hi, My Zhiyun Crane 2 display doesn't show in full...the display is sometimes off... Please how do i fix it or get a replacement

Make sure the firmware has been latest. If it still exists, please send the issue video to service@zhiyun-tech.com for further diagnosis.
Does this gimbal control the focus of any lens (canon or sigma) installed on a Canon 6D?
I have this one but I don’t know how to turn on the steadyshot

My batteries are red with the Crane 2. Is there a difference with the blue ones shown here?
one day use, then i got err 0100, what should i do?
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.
What about Nikon users? Crane 2 doesn't support the focus control? In the unboxing couldn't find the Nikon cable as well.
Hello, I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ2000/Fz2500. Will Follow Focus work as well?
Please give answer any options for direct charging

can I install on the crane 2 canon 1dx mark ii+ canon ef 24-105 l а 4,0?
Hi Группа компаний СТОПКАДР, we believe so... it supports 7 LB weight capacity, we'll test that
I need an answer for this too.. Can you please test it and confirm. Weight looks ok with most basic lenses but I am concerned about width and height of the camera.
Great product, planning to get one this week
For a Panasonic Lumix G85, what would you recommend? V2 or 2?
v2
Jacobo Castro Cristo why?
Depends on your lens/weight. If you're rocking a Panasonic lens primarily, get v2. If you've got some solid primes that weigh more, 2.
i preordered this where is it i want it noowww
With my Zhiyun crane 2 I use a Canon 80D with a 18-135 kit lense, what should I set my motor strength to?
