Nice review! But is it programmable via app? For set movements for timelapses, for example
Than you so much on this review. I went with the M2S. I have a Samsung NX 1000 with multiple lenses and Im looking forward how this gimbal will perform.
Great Video!!! Thanks so much, this helped a lot. Subbed!
Hi great review; do you have a link to the universal camera mount that you recommend? 😊 Thx!
Thank you so much for the review! So would you think the M2S is still a better choice when one uses mobile phone with lenses that weigh up to 400g? I am making a decision on one of these you recommended.
Thank you for your the very good and informative video!
great side by side comparisons
I haven't laughed like that in a long time. A very nice addition in the form of a tipper from the seat to the floor. I've watched it over and over again, I mean I fell down like 24 times, and each time I almost fell under the table laughing. You got a sub and a like for him. It added a lot of color to your serious reviews and introduced a comedic aspect. Could he introduce it permanently to the repertoire of his films. Such gags would raise the viewership to satisfy us viewers in this boring and serious reality that came to live words. Sending my sincere sympathy and greetings from Poland Thomas.
Hi Thank you for you really well done video. Do you think that M2S can work with the Sony A7Cr and a Sony 20-70 zoom? it is a 1100 grams set.
Looks good and feels good, I have a number of gimbals but this one is great due to its compact size and quick release design.
Ya naughty, ya being naughty. That, that made me subscribe. Love the info, needed this. Was hopeful for the M2S, but this helped the decision
Ha glad you liked it !
@@MrTechTok p
Does this both have all features like Dolly Zoom / Active Tracking / Hyperlapse same as Smooth 5 has ?
What is the plate that you used to make it longer? Any links to where to buy it?
hey, does face tracking work with 4k after connecting the gimbal?
Will the a Fujifilm XT4 fit into the M3? Is the M2S the predecessor of the M3?
Great Video! liked and subscribed! BTW, do you think m3's motor is stronger than m2s? (a bit or a lot?) because my a6100 doesn't have IBIS, so I want a stronger gimbal (to have a more smooth video) but i also want to keep the weight as light as possible. And also In my country, the price difference between 2 gimbals is just $55USD dollar, which 1 would you recommend to me? thank you so much!
only a bit, but support weight vs smooth algorithim is probably more important, newer series have slightly better tune so you "should" get smooth image. If the price is minimal def go for M3 , more clearance is better
Where can I get the wireless camera control module for this gimble..M3.?? No one seems to talk about it..
Man... 😂 I can relate to you so much when the chair situation happened 🤣 Great video and now you have one more sub.
haha hope you are ok
Good vid man on that extender piece 👍🏾 I’m winning
yea not many people know about it. hope it helps
Thanks for this Video 🫡👍🏾👏🏾 just got mine delivered today🔥👌🏾
This was a great video and idea. I should do a comparison video as well. Great job
Your videos are good too, watched and liked :)
And you know Joe... I watched your video too, finally got around to the M2S today... took a long-needed creator break. About to be all over your page again hahah!
Thanks for the side-by-side comparison. I ended up getting the m2s as I have a heavy payload gimbal I use for my professional gear. I really just wanted something compact for smaller gear that wasn't heavy so I can toss it in my everyday go-bag when I am out and about or want to do some simple stuff that doesn't need gear overkill.
Does the M2S work with Sony ZV-E10 and Sony 11mm F1.8?
Thanks mate
fantastic review. I have a Sony A6500 with a 16-70 Zeiss lens. I think I will go for the M2s
Any of these will be compatible with Sony Alpha zv-e 10 with cable connection? 🤔
I have a canon gx7iii camera and I don't know which one is good for my camera, maybe the older model m2 is the best please I need advice to know what to buy🤥؟
Great video buddy!
Thanks!
Great Review! I have a question, I know the Crane M3 has portrait mode, but at least one other reviewer on here said the M2S also had portrait mode, but no one demonstrated it or mentioned it. Can you in fact shoot in portrait mode on this gimbal? I have the M2, when my job asked me to start shooting reels for Instagram, the only way I can shoot in portrait mode is to turn the gimbal sideways or purchase the vertical bracket that was made the M2...unfortunately Zhyiun no longer has the bracket on their website and AliExpress was the only place you could purchase it from, but they're no longer carrying it. For at least the M2 starts acting weird when I turn it on its side and it's becoming annoying. That said I'm trying to decide between upgrading to the M3 or the M2S. For Clarity, I'm the Creative Developer for a Diesel Performance Shop, and for quick, fast footage to get up on social media, I only shoot with a GoPro 9 or my Galaxy S21 Ultra. For things, I need to spend more time on and require more polish, I use an entirely different setup and camera. TIA
good question, I saw it yesterday but I wanted to confirm so I call zhiyun, and they said its in an upcoming firmware update, which means you don't need another L bracket for portrait but you would need to wait for the firmware about, hopefully within a few months. Hope that helps
and just to clarify, that means the gimbal with turn to portrait mode like M3 with a click of a button. making it a lot easier to use.
From Zhiuyun’s M2S firmware download site as of 03-21-2022:
PTZ-V1.72
1. Newly added portrait mode (P mode, double press M button in V mode)
I have the weebill s now, it seems it's about the same size as the m3 (will take just about the same amount of space in the bag) or is it not, l also like the fact that weebill s uses replaceable batteries (cheap and easy to get, can get a few sets) instead of the built-in battery on the m3 - price wise it's about the same now or maybe slightly cheaper compare to the m3 (I wish the weebill s have the tuning indicator showing which axis is off - like on the m3) - what's your suggestion?
Hate weebill S. M3 nicer
Can you put like an arca swiss plate and quick release clamp on these gimbals for easy transfer of camera from gimbal to tripod?
well you would have to put that onto of the existing plate and assume the size will fit and also the possibility of extra connection points = a weak link during hard tension
Thanks for putting this video out !!!! I was actually hoping for a better gimbal than the M3. Looks Like the M3 is still better.
yea relative. you get what you pay for
@@MrTechTok With the M2S, can you use any of the iPhone apps (ZY Camo or StaCam), with this to zoom in and out while you’re recording?
I have the crane 3s for my FX6 but for my smaller ZV1 and A6500 the m2s or m3 would be a great combo 😉👍🏻 best cinematic greetings from germany
hello my friend, perfect combo indeed!
I have the M3 and a Sony A7C with Sony 20G, 35, 50 and 85mm lenses, plus the kit lens and Tamron 28-200. Does it make any sense to you to return the M3 (I still can) and buy the M2S with my kit?
No
I ended up buying the M3 to use with my Sony a7iv and 24mm GM. But it seems like its just too small when I was trying to balance it since the eye piece kept hitting the gimbal. Their website doesnt list it as compatible so i should have known better. Any recommendations for what I should get instead? The size and price point were appealing, but it just didn't seem meant to be.
you could try use an universal adaptor but like I said I think best to go for weebil 2 or dji rs2c since you are running mirrorless and probably best for future proofing yourself. try ebay second hand market have some for good price
In your video, were you using Tamron 17-28 F2.8 Lens in M2S?
correct
Hello, is this gimbal compatible with a Canon Rebel SL2 (also knows as Canon 200d)? It says on Zhiyun's website it is but i just wanna make sure from someone that has tested the gimbal.
If it is compatible, do you think the kit lens also works with the gimbal? cause i didn't see the 18-55mm kit lens on their website.
How could anybody know that until you try it?
will the M2S be able to handle a sony ZVE10 + Viltrox 13mm 1.4...i checked the weight and they are currently at 822.3g
i want to know that too
Hi
Can use the M2 gimbal for my Sony a6400 with sigma 16mm ?
You can. I'm citing the M2S and not the M2 FYI
Give us some information of DJI pocket 3
Hi can you review the Manfrotto MVG 300 MX
Nice… I am glad the M3 came out before the M2. I have had the M3 for a few weeks and love it. One fatal flaw in my opinion is what they changed from the M2 to the M3 when holding down the trigger. On the M2 when you hold down the trigger while in Pan Follow mode it would instantly switch to Follow mode which was incredible. I used it constantly like that. With the M3 when you hold down the trigger it puts you in to go mode. The isssue is just how aggressive to transition is with the motors which creates a jerk immediately as GO mode kicks on. This makes using the gimble with that shortcut not usable to create a cinematic look without that violent jerk in the motor compensation. I am very disappointed and hope people will ask them to make it available to change to a secondary mode of your choice rather than just go mode. If you have direct contact with them can you voice this concern?
good point. I asked Zhiyun and they said they will look into this and see if possible future updates. But right now you can’t change the settings and unfortunately the m3 and m2s will have to stick with Go mode
@@MrTechTok ah man thanks… I hope they realize how much better follow would be for that rather than go. Almost the same thing but without that aggressive shot ruining jerk from the motors kicking in. I appreciate it bro
@@wademorales I actually had another call with them again they asked what was the purpose and how would this be used. So I told them your example so their engineers are looking at it. Not guaranteed but I do appreciate their effort to listen and possibly make changes. Fingers crossed
@@MrTechTok that’s so awesome bro. I honestly thought there was something wrong with my gimble until I realized what they did. I was try weaker motor settings ect. I wouldn’t doubt that others transitioning from M2 to M3 won’t notice the same thing. I am stoked you made that communication and appreciate it! It’s an amazing gimble.
@@wademorales glad I can help , that's what I'm here for. :)
Thanks! Been waiting for this video since your M3 video came out. What is the max payload for the M2S and what is the weight of the gimbal itself?
I am looking for a gimbal that is not too heavy, can travel with, and holds an iPhone 12 Pro Max with moment lenses and filters. It’s been a challenge honestly! Osmo 5 can’t handle the load and has limited angles, Smooth 5 motor sounds were way too loud and captured in footage, G6 Max lock wheels during balancing drives me crazy and is having some motor vibration issues (even after calibration). Perhaps M2S is the one…? 😮💨
It’s around 550g , m3 is approx 750. So yea pretty light. It’s built for lightweight thus the sacrifice a little on build quality material ( plastic) feels like the smooth q3 if you have tested it. iPhone max with moment shouldn’t be a problem at all my friend. Official site doesn’t not have max payload but my camera is over 1kg with lens. So if it can handle that u should be ok
I just bought my crane m3 for zv1 since I need a small lightweight gimbal, and this came out. my crane m3 is only a week oldddddd 😢
haha m3 still good choice
What is payload of crane m2s??
hi, do you think the M3 will have enough strength to hold a Sony A7IV with a tamron 28-75? Thanks
nope not recommended. You going to have clearance issues
so which one do you recommend ?
Hello, what gimbal would you recommend for a Sony a6300? I need help 😭
check out my 2022 ultimate gimbal comparison, i think you might find the M3 or m2s to your liking if thats the only camera you use
Do you think the M3 or the M2 would hold an A6400 with a tamron 11-20mm or a Sony 10-18mm?
It will hold but you will be boarderlining (don't think that's a word) it, I think the m3 would do a better job
@@MrTechTok thank you for the advice!
ZV10 and Sony 10-18 = OK with M2, Tested and working
@@lancer632 zv e10 should be close in weight with the a6400, maybe a little lighter so that sounds good! thank you for the input!
@@MrTechTok what do you think would be best for a a6400 and Tamron 17-70? Would a weeble be better? I like the compact size, but will the M3 be able to handle that payload?
Hey man, can you sort out your product focus please
You mentioned a different quick release. Do have a link to that.
Hold on you'll get an answer soon😮
Can m2s control a gopro 10 or 11?
Can not
Bro it doesn't support tracking... And that's a big disadvantage.
You should've mentioned it.
Most of the people using it are not professional and they need this feature.
I just baught it and realised this fact after using the zy play app
M2S vs Crane M3! What is better in terms of stability and endurance, as well as pictures without motor jitter? Camera Sony ZV-E10 Lens Sigma 30mm 1.4
Did you watch the video? He mentioned the M3 has stronger motors.
Is this compatible with Sony A7IV ?
not if you use a long zoom lens. fix FE (non GM) lens should be ok.
It's IBIS not ISBI. But otherwise great review. I subscribed.
You are correct good spot. Typo there
Mine shakes all the time its well balanced redone many times. Calibrated too.
Two possibilities:
1) user error (90%)
2) fault product (10%)
Did you make any modifications to the gimbal? Shaking (vibration) is caused by an imbalance issue. Is your camera seated/balance firmly against the quick-release plate so it doesn't move? If it shifts during operation it will throw off the balance.
I suspect something is not seated properly and may be causing micro imbalances that produce that shaking. That, or your unit could be faulty. Did you try it with a difference camera?
Nice contentent, thanks, I use a sony a6600 with generally a 35mmm f1.8 but I ma thinking about getting a zoom and the ZHIYUN Crane M2 teoretically cannot manage an objective that is 300g even if other creators told me thet it works also with a little ov overload, just setting tha engine to maximum responsivity. How much is the maximum load on the ZHIYUN Crane M2S, please? I see that tha gimbal weights around 550g, is it correct? My camera+objective weigh around 700-800g. I see that the Crane M3 can hold up to 1kg, but the weight of the gimbal, on the ZHIYUN site its declared to be 700g, on other sellers is more than 1kg 1,19kg, I am thinking if I will just buy it to leave it in the box or to use it. For me I prefer a minimum compact setup with my Aps-C+ objective = 700/800g and compact, I can alway thow it in my backpack, the only reason I want a gimball is to stabilize the footage but if the gimbal weights the double of my setup camera I am not shure that it really makes much sense, for how i use it: Good quality, alwais with me, very light weight. Sony aps-c are awesome for me but even with the ibis and the oss the footage look shaky when handheld, Thanks for reading this km of thought. Yes maybe in the future 3-5 years I may be buying a full frame or a possibly new medium format sony camera but I will not carry it daily as I do with this do I will need for that a different gimball as you suggest but this will happen in 3-5years. Thanks Mate :) Max
unfortunately there isn't a "official" weight that it can hold but from testing I think you shouldn't have problem with your setup given its only 700g. m3 is a little heavier given the built quality but if you are after compact I would go m2s if you don't mind the plastic design. bang for buck imo
As promised new Zhiyun crane m2s gimbal. What are your thoughts?
is this you were telling people to wait for? Basically I have an a7c and I'm looking for a good small travel gimbal for bikepacking, thoughts?
@@mattpilon2882 what lens are you using? zoom or fixed
@@MrTechTok right now I only have the kit lens but will upgrade in time either to a zoom or maybe just a fast prime for video
@@mattpilon2882 kit lens is no problem, a prime ( none gm) so like a Zeiss lens should be ok too on the 7c given it’s evf is also smaller vs the a7 model cameras. However if you do decide to go for any zoom I would probably pick a diff gimbal.
think the gimbal is a bit of a con given the marketing is using a full frame sony camera and like your video shows, it isn't really compatible. Even with the 230gram samyang 24mm 2.8 my A7III was hitting the roll axis.
Neither of these gimbals have wireless capability like the older, less-expensive Zhiyun M2 has. Nor can they be controlled with a smart phone using the Zhiyun Play app. If you're using a lighter camera like a Sony RX100-series, Sony ZV1, or a smart phone, and want to control functions like Record and Zoom with the gimbal or your phone, save some money and get the M2.
You can use the usb c for controls

Hi there, but is at least programmable via app? For set movements for timelapses, for example
For anyone with an APSC camera just does not make sense to buy the m2s. It reminds me of the many iphones that keep coming out :).
haha could call this the M2 SE
Jet Li ?
13:52 is a Chines work 😉😉😉
If you using an iPhone(smartphone), think twice before buy M2S. It's not working with the App(ZY Play), unlike the M2.
I have been used my iphone to take a video on the M2 but it's broken recently. So I bought this new model M2S. But the App is not working with my iphone.
If you don't want to use record start/stop btn and zoom function, it'll be OK but if you stil want to use the btn, this new model can't going with you.
I asked the seller about this but they didn't know this new model(App) is not work with smartphone..... Oh dear .......
Why do you keep calling your gimbal Jerry lol
You testing the gimbal, but you slap the camera.
gotta do a stress test right with possible real life scenarios otherwise it wouldn't be called a "honest review"
Oh yes! Balancing is a piece of cake! But then connect it to your camera!! I have tried it with my Canon, Sony and Nikon! NONE of them work! So i go back to the shop to return it. They contact the importer and get the answer "buy the bluetooth set, and it will work". But it DIDNT, more then CANT PAIR, i didnt get!! So i send a mail to their "customer service". In all SEVEN mails. And i didnt get ONE answer!! This is a typial " BUY it, PAY it and p@@ss off" kind of company! BTW it wont work with filmic eigther!
woah chill with the !! my guy
@@trihardio oh well, i guess its always good to see a retarded letterfucker
What gimbal did you find that does all of that stuff you mentioned?
@@krane15 All of that stuff? You mean nothing? Cause it didn't work at all. I bought the DJI Ronin RS 3 Mini. Works without any problem with all my cameras and when you have a question, they answer the same day.
"zhee-yoon" please pronounce it properly especially you as an Asian ethnic youtuber. ZHEE YOON
R u from zhee yoon dude ?
@@MrTechTok Just a regular dude getting sick of everyone on YT destroying its name every.single.day.
@@gigihanmandarin its called ZHI YUN not zheeee yoon. its simple pinyin bro
@@MrTechTok Yes, it couldn't be clearer as the pinyin pronunciation IS the brand name. So please pronounce it right if you don't mind. Many are calling it "Zion" while you are calling it more like "Jury". Just hear and learn how @Young360 calls it as I believe she is a native Mandarin speaker.
@@gigihanmandarin You okay there buddy?
