About this deal

So, if that's you, check out other options that can handle your heavier camera, such as Feiyu Tech Ak4000. Packaging also includes a hand strap, smartphone mount clip, Micro-USB Type-C Cable, mini tripod, and quick release plate. One of the best improvements over the original Crane-M is the mounting plate which can slide to the left or right to balance and mount the camera precisely. This involves a rather fiddly process of sliding the gimbal’s three arms back and forth until the device is roughly balanced. But I think that the best use for it are point-and-shoot cameras due to the right size fit and the full compability.

Wi-Fi allows you to connect to your camera for greater filming control, and the Bluetooth lets your camera sync up with the ZY mobile app for iOS and Android, which is available free to download and use. However, if you want something that’s more flexible to use with your more serious cameras, and that can be used with your smartphone and action camera as well, the Zhiyun Crane is a decent choice. However, this gimbal certainly isn't for anyone whose camera isn't on the list, primarily because of the size and weight. In fact even the previous version didn’t have any competition either, probably because the market for those compact cameras is constantly shrinking and not growing.As for the footage, even though I had moments where I wanted to put it back in my bag and give up due to how the gimbal handled my specific camera, I still can't fault it too much when it comes to the quality of the actual material, which is something you've already come to expect from all gimbals coming onto the market nowadays. For the life of me I can't get the computer to to connect with the gimbal despite downloading their USB cable support files, etc. The Zhiyun Crane-M2 isn’t the cheapest gimbal around and if you only want to smooth out footage from your smartphone or action camera, there are better choices.

But, even during the most crucial moments of setting up, the tutorial would quickly rush past it or not show a close-up of the action at all. Featuring a more easy-to-use quick setup system and smart lock design, as well as six creative operation modes, Crane M2 easily goes wherever you go and offers endless possibilities to your everyday creation.This is probably due to the compact design which would make it tricky to switch into an upside down mode without hitting the gimbal or camera on the side. Next up is Go mode, which is a more responsive version of POV but keeps the camera level, locking off the roll axis. It is worth remembering, however, that you’ll still get better image quality overall if you use the Crane-M2. The Zhiyun Crane M2 S 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer offers 360° pan, 320° tilt, and 320° roll rotation across six modes of operation, including POV and Vortex modes.

Lastly, it has an OLED display, which shows battery level, connection status, and your selected shooting mode. Adopting a WiFi-and-Bluetooth control module, Crane M2 allows you to control your camera wirelessly through the gimbal handle. Smooth video shots, instant response on movement, brilliant for "selfie" videos and could go on but, I have a gimbal that needs me 🙂. We are the main distributor of many notable brands like Viltrox, Godox, TTArtisan, Zhiyun, 7Artisans and Zeapon etc.

By adjusting the motor strength to high, you can attach cameras weighing up to 720g to the Zhiyun Crane-M2’s mounting plate, which means, as long as they fit, you can stabilise some quite beefy cameras.

The advanced automated modes described above (motion timelapse, panorama and so on) only work on smartphones.If you’re using a regular camera with the Zhiyun Crane-M2 you’ll be able to bypass the app for everything except for firmware updates, since the main shooting modes and functions can be accessed directly using the gimbal’s own controls. Instead, you use a combination of tapping the trigger back of the handle and using the "mode button" to find the mode you're looking for.
