The absolute best tutorial on balancing these freaking gimbles on the net! Clear, straight forward direction. Not one (1) useless word said in this presentation. Thank you sir! I was about to send this damn thing back!!!

[@BarbsterFilms]

thank you, glad it helped you out :)

[@mattspence7015]

BarbsterFilms If I know that I will be using a grip with a cold shoe adapter and a microphone every time I use the gimbal, should I balance it with all of those things attached? Thanks!

[@giuliacuini5308]

You just saved my self-esteem. I couldn't figure the manual out. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@ManufacturedHousingExpert]

[@myklwardsucks]

[@Lexxo777]

Thanks! Very Helpful. The 5th "how to stable a gimble" (Zhihun) video today. Frustrating it was indeed, how many videos does it take! haha...

[@akcine]

Thank you! This is the best video on the subject I could find. I was able to balance it in under 5 minutes.

[@BarbsterFilms]

Omg, been looking for a tutorial on how to balance a gimbal for days!! Thank you for such helpful video.

[@rajeevmustafiz]

Thank you! It will help me a lot to balance my new Gimble Zhiyun Crane 2. I faced huge problem by balancing it in my previous shoot. Though i missed 1 step to balance it perfectly that time. Now everything seems fine.

[@agentbl]

Your video was very helpful. I was worried that this item wouldn't work with my Canon EOS 600D aka t3i. I sat here with my new gimbal and I practiced what you were instructing. I'm still going to practice on this and get to understand it better. But this video really helped me. Thank you.

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

Great, clear video.

[@JohnDoggettWilliams]

I've got a question? Does the gimble need to be turn on when trying to balance? Great tut by the way.

[@79GDawg]

Great video. Thank you 😊

[@qctcrew]

Great stuff. Thank you buddy!!!!

[@Adrielarabiaworld]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@ahn1073]

Awesome experience

[@acephotographyvideography8024]

Thanks mate

[@theloverevolution_]

very helpful!

[@Pinchecayin]

What lens is that?
Great video!

[@SgtNarrow]

Great video! If I take the camera off for shooting stills, but dont touch the screws of the gimbal, do I have to balance it again when I put the camera back on? Can gimbals be folded into a flat position for storing (while hiking for example), without the need the balance again?

[@thegreenmother9]

This is helpful I’m using a canon g7x mark ii so my camera is so light for balancing

[@rebth1st]

I tried to balance my Canon M6 mirrorless camera on the Zhiyun Crane 3-axis and could not balance it on the tilt motor pointing up. There was just not enough weight in its camera and lens to balance it in the pointing up position. Fortunately, I had bought a SmallRig cage for the M6 and place that on the camera then on to the gimbal and, lo and behold, it had enough weight to balance. The next option would have been to use the adapter and an EF lens on the camera but my 24-70mm F.4.0 is quite a bit larger than the standard kit zoom lens that came with the M6.

[@TJL-z8p]

Any recommendations on a quick release plate for the Crane Plus?

[@felipeaguirre603]

Great content!

[@CarlosMenciaTT]

Great video !

[@ali5161]

Thanks for the demonstration, but it leaves me a question. Is it easy to work with camera focus or zoom in and out manually while we're filming? Many thanks in advance.

[@vf7508]

The Best ever!

[@en101com]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@BarbsterFilms]

no worries, glad it helped :)

[@fathiebusyra813]

thankyou so muchh :"D

[@Merolan]

Just got mine the other day, however, I'm unable to move the mounting plate where the camera sits. I've turned the thumbscrew beneath around so many times and it's still not sliding, it's just stuck. Any advice?

[@steaua494]

Hi i need help with more closer to see how u moved them to balance plz

[@millardarnold4924]

Is there a way to adapt most slrs with microphone jacks to a head phone ?

[@penkatadrums]

Hello guys, can this gimbal support the EOS R with a EF and EF-S lenses with the adaptor for those lenses?

[@dreamchaser7554]

Is it necessary to use the calibration tools to calibrate the gimbal and wonder under which situation i need to run the procedure. I use Zhiyun crane 2 and update the filmware just today.

[@Najiharbi]

You forgot to correctly balance the roll axis . You were focused on tilt axis and that you should Stay still no matter tilted up or down .
But you have to test that the roll axis will stay still in any direction you put it. Which means roll it clock wise and anti clock wise to see if it will stay put or roll back horizontal , if it rolls back horizontal flat then it's not perfectly balanced

[@xlkrisz]

Thanks Thanks Thanks ...:))) Sony ax 33 cam + Crane plus...

[@youtubecreativ]

Hello, is this camera you use compatibel with the Zhiyun App?

[@weenrox]

Ight thats cool and all. Show us how to balance with a short lens and follow focus please for the love of god.

[@AllAboutSpainbyBarryHaylor]

Hi, I have a Neewer afi 3sd and I have tried to balance it for about 60 hours and when it’s balanced the up and down tilt doesn’t work. Any ideas for me, thanks Barry Spain

[@floatingrabbit3556]

Quick question, the batteries from any zhiyung crane work on others as well (the dlsr/morrorless carrying gimbals that is)

[@christopherorlandi4526]

Im having a truble, my canon 60D balances okay, but it hits on the bottom of the pan, it does not do a 360 perfectly. Any suggestions ?

[@wakumpalabay4051]

thanx a lot

[@orm-film]

Hi, how can I know the battery life if it is not any indicator? Thanks

[@TylersOutdoorAdventures]

What if I have the camera all the way back on the mount and it’s still falling forward. I’m using the 90d with a 55mm lens. I know I’m under the weight?????? Help please

[@alexmolina3641]

happens the same to me

[@JearHumphries]

I have Nikon d3300, this weight should hold up?

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

Wow.. using the gimbal is not as simple as I thought it would be. If I have to do this every time then this could be very frustrating.
