  • Footage so smooth, you'll wonder why you didn't get this sooner.
Style: CRANE 2S PRO
The media could not be loaded. I purchased the Crane 2S Pro version of this stabilizer from Amazon. In addition to the gimbal itself, it also included the TransMount Transmitter 2.0, Focus/Zoom Control Motor 2.0, DualCam Extension Module, Sling Grip Handle, and Phone Holder. It made more sense to get this bundle and save as I would really get the most use out of the gimbal by having the Transmitter and Focus/Zoom to use with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. The Crane 2S Pro came with all the mounting accessories, cables, and tools to attach everything. I have to say I was very pleased with that, as with many other manufacturers you always seem to need another item like a mounting plate or screws. This package had everything I needed to get setup. Everything arrived in one box. After I opened it, I immediately charged the batteries and the transmitter to make sure I had a full charge before powering everything up. While those charged, I assembled the Crane 2S with all the accessories so I could balance my camera. Now I have a camera cage on my camera body, and it's a very tight fit, but I was able to put the camera and cage on the stabilizer without issue. Once it was all attached, I then unlocked each of the three axis locks one at a time to balance the camera. This process was not difficult, just a little time consuming as you have to make very small adjustments to get the balance just right. I will also note that you should pay attention when attaching the Sling Grip Handle. I properly aligned the slots inside the clamp with the stabilizer body, but I still managed to mount it upside down the first time. Look for the Zhiyun logo and make sure it's facing up. If it's installed upside down, your camera will likely run into the handle when shooting in sling mode. It's very easy to adjust the sling grip and make it a dual grip so you can use two hands on the stabilizer. In all honesty, this will probably be my go to setup because it does such a great job at evening out the weight so your forearms don't get too tired like the do with other stabilizers. Going with this gimbal made things a million times easier versus my older stabilizer system which requited counterweights and tons of time to balance. After the Crane 2S Pro batteries charged, I had the entire unit assembled, balanced, and ready to use in under 15 minutes. One of the few downsides is that all the additional accessories will not fit into the included foam case. I kept the Transmitter and Follow Focus boxes since they had the nice padded foam to keep things secure, so I could just toss those boxes into my camera bag. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with the results I'm getting. The footage looks so smooth it was absolutely worth adding this to my gear bag. ... show more

  • Is this the perfect handheld gimbal yet?
Style: CRANE 2S
Yes it definitely is! As an owner of the Crane 2 and the Crane 3s this is certainly the offspring of these 2 gimbals with a perfect design and motor strength for my s1h and Blackmagic cameras. Good job Zhiyun. And a special thanks to Jessie from Zhiyun for sending me the Dual Grip Handle (which I also recommend purchasing) making my shooting experiences so much easier. Their customer service is A++! ... show more

  • Buttery Smooth Footage and VERY Pro Accessories
Style: CRANE 2S PRO
This is my third gimbal from Zhiyun and it is by far the most professional in terms of how smooth the resulting footage is. The Pro package is also 100% worth the extra cost thanks to the useful accessories that are included. The focus and zoom pulling mechanisms are probably my most favorite feature, followed by the image transmitter that turns your smartphone into a live view monitor. All accessories might sound complicated, but they are very easy to setup in no time. Highly recommend this gimbal and the pro package for indie filmmakers or professional video makers. ... show more

  • Best gimbal I’ve used!
Style: CRANE 2S COMBO
I am beyond happy for this purchase of the Zhiyun Crane 2S. For my Black Magic Pocket cinema camera 4K, I knew I needed a high quality gimbal but I also wanted versatility. The crane 2s compliments these two needs perfectly. Carbon fiber feels great. Dual grip is perfect and much more accessories are available vie small rig! 10/10 would recommend for prosumer/pro filmmakers and videographers. Battery is good. Had no issues with overheating. Feels super comfortable in my grip. Oh and shipping was 9 days early!! Thank you Zhiyun. ... show more

  • The best gimbal
Style: CRANE 2S PRO
Wow is the best gimbal !!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2021 by Juan Marino Rengifo

  • Solid gimbal with a great set of features
The media could not be loaded. Overall, this is a pretty nice gimbal, that's just as good if not better (if you have a physically large camera) than other gimbals on the market at this price point. At this price, having a screen, large payload capacity, and large arms that allow you to mount a larger camera on it is a pretty nice sweet spot. I love being able to lock the arms to change lenses, and being able to remove the rear arm extension if you need to see your screen. I didn't remove it, since Zhiyun recommends leaving it on for the best operation. I typically use an external monitor attached to the side of the gimbal so I don't need to see my screen. Like the fact that you can make adjustments to the gimbal modes and motors on the fly with the screen, it's a nice addition to not have to use the app to make adjustments. However, you DO need to use the app to activate your gimbal. Other than that, everything can be adjusted via the screen on the back. As far as stabilization goes, I've used this on a few interior shots and it seems to be as stable as any other gimbal out there. I use a Ronin-S mostly and am used to doing "the gimbal walk" of walking slowly and trying my best to get rid of the vertical bob that is common in gimbal footage. As long as you have the proper balance, autotune the motors after each big lens swap and use "the gimbal walk" and walk carefully - this gimbal will give you great results. I don't think I could tell the difference between this or my other gimbals. It works as it should. Some sample footage at the end of my unboxing video. One of the main reasons I was interested in this gimbal over others was the batteries. I like the fact that you can remove the batteries and it comes with an additional set of batteries - so you don't have to stop filming to charge the gimbal. You can unscrew the handle, swap for a fresh set, and keep filming if you need to. For getting into different modes, (I use "GO" mode or following most of the time) you'll have to memorize the different M button presses to get into the different modes. They don't all cycle by pressing the M button once. For GO mode, you need to press the button 3 times, for example. This version comes with the additional bottom handle, I'm a big fan of using gimbals with handles - and the included handle makes the gimbal much easier to use if you like to "pan" the gimbal side to side. This is my go-to move for home interiors and only using the gimbal it's hard to judge speed but using the handle helps control the pan speed a little more since you can keep one arm anchored and use the handle arm to control the speed. Without the handle, you are using your wrists or side-to-side body movement to control the pan axis that can be more difficult. Disclaimer: Zhiyun sent me this Crane 2S to test, they have not seen this review prior to uploading - nor have they told me anything to say (or not say). All words are my own. ... show more
