got my crane 2 (and my old crane v2 for travel) and I´m defenetly not going to change :) I´m really hoping for the firmware update, that would allow the infinite roll.....that would be so dope maaaan
Thanks for the video! Probably going to get the Crane2 since it has more accessories and compatibility with Sony, but I'm not really in a rush. Need to figure out camera first lol
After deliberation, I purchased the Crane 2 and am totally happy with it. I watched the video anyways because I always learn something! Pound for pound and feature for feature I think it's the best value and performance gimbal on the market today. I haven't upgraded my Canon yet so I'm enjoying all the features and compatibility with the Crane 2. The follow focus motor works great for vintage, cinema, and anamorphic lenses as well as most DSLR or Mirrorless cameras. There are many smaller gimbals out there that are like a half a pound less in weight but the payload is like half of the Crane 2. For my needs I made the right choice.
After watching your stuff and learning from you I bought the Crane 2... and I do not look back! It does what is required and with the dual handle It spreads the weight nicely. I've used some heavy equipment on it with the motors set to high and it just performed very well. Even in strong wind it stays stable.... I'm very happy. So thank you sir!!
Great overview + Thanks so much for testing out 50mm + 70mm focal lengths - so many youtube reviews miss this crucial aspect - and yet so important!! Really looking fwd to seeing what Zhiyun do with the crane 3.
thx for your videos,really good information about everything .. you pretty much made me buy the Crane 2 and that's what i did .. just filmed my first 2 Testvideos and i'm really impressed! I had to practice a little bit to get some good looking smooth shots but it worked great after a while,keep up with your videos! greetz
I waited 7 months for the ronin S... Glad I waited. The future longevity of the ronin is looking to be much greater than the crane, once DJI releases accessories such as car mounts and dual handle support etc etc - further contributing to the practicality and adaptability of the ronin over the crane
just ordered zhiyun crane 2 in India both gimbals have a price difference of 20 K in rupees.... . and your video, just I wanted to watch a very genuine review. Thanks a ton for helping me choosing.
Maybe because of its 45° angle roll motor the RONIN misbehave in awkward angles. According to your point of view I stand with zhiyun crane for a long term investment and usability. Thanks for this review, really helped me making a decision.
Great jog Josh, I have the Crane 2 and Im happy, I cant even think of switching because of the weight issue. My back would rip apart with that extra weight not to mention the battery charging issue and the mounting plate problems.
I was waiting so long for this video Thank you So Much I am also using the zhiyun crane 2... While shooting my back start getting weak and i can't shoot more then 10 mint and 2nd thing while walking, the video i shoot i saw it on tv i feel the camera moving up and down..... So for this i did something its sound silly but i feel very very useful..... Bro i am just asking, u know more then me just onces try this maybe u will feel more comfortable while shooting.... Just buy the gyming weight lifting belt and do shooting using gimble you will never get tired and there will not any camera jumps movement.... Using weight lifting belt i did 3 hours continuously shooting using canon 80d with sigma 18-35mm and zhiyun follow focus. My actor got tired but in me still there is Alot of energy :p Try this In Sha Allah you will never get tired bro 😊
Great review, I had already decided to keep my Crane 2 but this video confirmed my impressions from doing research. I really wanted the native follow focus for my GH5 but the extra weight and proprietary battery of Ronin-S kinda turned me off. I'm sure the minor problems with the vibrating motors will be fixed by DJI but i'm just not in a rush to change gimbals right now. However, I'm really excited to see how Zhiyun will respond with the Crane 3... Cheers!
Thanks for the side by side comparisons with the higher focal lengths. I've been getting a bit of jitter on my crane 2 at 35mm and was wondering how it faired on the Ronin S. It's definitely made me less neurotic thinking about the choice I've made with going Zhiyun. The ecosystem is there for the Zhiyun so will be sticking with that for the time being.
Another great video. I looking to buy a gimbal for my xt2. Crane 2 on my shortlist as it has such great reviews. Just not to sure if it is to big to carry in a rucksack when hiking. Usually use my go pro and camera for photos, but the xt2 video just so much nicer. Any pointers? May be worth waiting to see Zhiyun's new imminent models? keep up the good work :-)
Thanks alot for this review.. seems very honest . The rest of reviews comparing those 2 I feel arr sponsored by dji and a little bit dishonest about hiwngood the crane 2 is. So thanks again
Nice video, ill get the Crane 2 if i can at the end of the year. I cant wait to have it :D PS: Love this channel and sorry about my bad english i speak spansih.
Thank you so much! I hope the Crisis here in Argentina is Terrible, but with hard work i hope that i can get it! Love You work matte you are my Inspiration!
The battery situation on the Ronin should make it an automatic pass, esp if you’re shooting for extended periods of time (weddings). Once your battery is drained you can’t just pop in new batteries like the Crane 2. You are forced to charge your entire gimbal with the Ronin. This is an absolute nope.
Which gimbal you getting? ;)

I've got a Crane Plus couple of months ago but sometimes I wish I waited to get Crane 2 for the same price right now

Gotta say, you have a better comprehensive review then most reviews on TH-cam on these two gimbals.
Thank you so much! That means a lot and I am glad that you like this comparison!
Bruhhh the Starwars turn transition of peace is back!!!!

Staying with my Crane 2. Thanks for a great review and for not sliding down the "DJI newness is best" path.
Haha! Thank you for your support, I'm glad that this video was helpful for you :)
Great video josh. I am sticking with my crane 2
Thank you for your support Anoop! I think you are making the right choice :)

Yes! definitely wait :)
@@MomentumProductions1992 Thanks 👌
can you test the motion control time lapse feature on the ronin for me? thx
Just bought a Crane 2 in Box like brand new for $410.00. With controller ! Can’t wait to get it next week..
Yasss! Great deal! Enjoy it!
How to re-center crane 2 position.?
You have to switch to full follow mode.
Very very nice Video
I'm waiting many time this Review...
Thank you so much for your support Sanjay! :)
Thanks alot for this review.. seems very honest . The rest of reviews comparing those 2 I feel arr sponsored by dji and a little bit dishonest about hiwngood the crane 2 is. So thanks again
Come on, bro! Crane 3 is almost here. Couple months to saturate the market, and second crane is history...
Ha! I had to make this video though! So many requests :)
Yeah I bought the crane 2 knowing the crane 3 lab (is that the official name?) is coming out. I figured for $500 with the servo, it can’t be beat.
Thanks Josh... i were about to purchase Ronin S... not sticking with my Crane 2.
Any news about the rumor for the 3 new Zhiyun's gimbals for the end of the year ?
There are some leaked photos. As of right now, all I can say is that it does NOT look like any traditional gimbal!
How about A2000? Do u prefer Crane 2 more or A2000?
Good job sir Josh!
Thanks so much!
Nice video, ill get the Crane 2 if i can at the end of the year. I cant wait to have it :D
PS: Love this channel and sorry about my bad english i speak spansih.
You English is great! I'm excited for you to get your gimbal :)
Thank you so much! I hope the Crisis here in Argentina is Terrible, but with hard work i hope that i can get it!
Love You work matte you are my Inspiration!
Thank you so much, brother!
I can't set my AB points in Crane 2 :( I'm doing it right I think but my servo nerver stops :(( HELP ME PLEASE !!
Do you have the latest follow focus firmware?
Good review! I really like the feel of the ronin s but I will stick with my Crane 2
very useful review.
Great review!
Thank you so much :)
Im commenting before I watch.
Zhiyun has some dumb software ... Dji is too heavy . I currently own the crane v2 . Zhiyun needs to sort the software out with better control saves.
The app needs work for sure, but luckily we can do a lot within the gimbal's menu.
Thank you so much for this review. Crane 2 it is.
Thank YOU for watching :)
Three throne Productions yup! This review sold me on the crane 2. Been watching reviews all day and this one did it. Thanks! Subscribed!
Tim DaGraca I just received my crane 2. Can’t wait to try some moves 😂
The battery situation on the Ronin should make it an automatic pass, esp if you’re shooting for extended periods of time (weddings). Once your battery is drained you can’t just pop in new batteries like the Crane 2. You are forced to charge your entire gimbal with the Ronin. This is an absolute nope.
I agree! Thank you for watching :)
Yup, and when you're powering other devices from the gimbals batteries...
12 hours battery life on ronin-S.Go and drain it.
you have no experience with a ronin s .lol
Great video
Thank you so much Steve!
Haha how many times did people ask you this question?
DUDE... Too many times!
DJI case tip spray on truck bed liner!
pound for pound the Zhiyun is better!
Wow
