Thank you so much for watching! Please don't forget to turn on the notifications option! :)
Had no idea I could do this with the crane , thanks josh
Thanks for the video. If I'm correct I think you also own the MOZA Air. If so, which of these two would you say does a smoother timelapse?
so glad i read the comments.... hope there is another gimbal that does amazing timelapse
I've been having a constant problem with jerky, wobbly motion on moving time lapses using the Crane v2. Of course, during the process of shooting, this can't be detected since the Crane pans and tilts so slowly. But once I review the footage, it's quite noticeable. Terrible in some cases. Is there a way to prevent this by calibrating the Crane, or perhaps with a firmware update?
Informative concise and to the point ! Super video , thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
You can also use this timelapse feature to perfectly make smooth panning shots without holding it in your b roll.
That is a great tip!
Thanks for the video.
1.When you add more than two keyframe for camera motion how app divides the total timelaps time between these frames?
2. When exposure time is long sins crane is in constant move it creates motionblure and changing the interval in the app seems doesn't have any effect.
Makes it useless for low light conditions
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to do a moving timelapse (by auto slow turning movements) with the Ronin M?
got to bless you ! you are perfect !
You are guru to gimbal!
I follow you from Italy and I buying crane2 I learned all to you ....TKS..
Thank you so much for watching!
sick timelapse Josh!!!
😎
General question: I always have to stabilize my moving timelapses in post (using an 80D), because of a little shake. Do you guys do the same or is the time lapse smooth without any post processing?
Hey man, I am having trouble with motion blur when I have a longer exposure. With no cable it’s almost impossible to set the shutter to open when the gimbal isn’t moving. With the my camera does not allow me to use my internal intervalometer while it’s plug into the crane and the crane app won’t act as an intervalometer either... help!
Helpful vid thanks. Going to go out and try it tonight.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm sure these tips will help you out :)
Thank you for the tutorial
and thank you so much !
The problem is in this way you can't use a low shuttersspeed setting because the camera do not stop at each shot! A low shuttspeed/longexposure is verry important for timelapse if you will generate a motion blur effect or for shooting a nightlapse! In your case you will get the problem that if you film fast moving objects like cars or people the objects will jump in the Clip from one position to the next, if you add long exposure the objects will slide to the next position in each frame that looks mutch more clear!I test this many times with my crane 2 but the function is not working! Looks like zhiyun can not handle that
If the crane will be constantly moving, the movement of the crane in a real situation, in a real timelapse, should be VERY VERY slow... The motion blur will be minimal and wont affect the result of the timelapse.. The pictures individually might not be crisp sharp, but the video will look good! ;) But I'm pretty sure that if u set the time interval to the same value that u set for your intervalometer, (and not to 0.5 sec randomly as he did - because it is indeed important to set it correctly) I think the crane will move just after that interval and u will get crisp shots with the motion blur only where it should be.
Can your stop the Motion between every shot, for Long exposure lapes? or is this only possible by using a cable.
Here the ZY Play that I downloaded on Google Play opens different from what you show in the video, you do not have Application Mode to that round icon on the left side next to the review icon, nor the selection icon below the gimbal icon on the side right. Here also does not appear in the menu to select between the camera of the gimbal and the camera of the smartphone. I am using a Zhiyun Crane, with 1.60V firmware, I have the communication cable that controls the Sony A7S II connected. I can program the timelapse as you taught though by not being able to select the A7S II in timelapse, the gimbal makes the only move that the images are made with the smartphone camera. The version of ZY Play is Aug. 14th. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the attention and congratulations to the video.
Thanks mate, such a detailed video! Cheers
Thanks so much!
How do you manage to not blink!?
FOCUS.
Great video! Can you share the settings used on the camera for the time lapse? I am using the a6500 so it should be relatively the same. Thanks!
very helpful thank you!
You gotta a sub my friend! Nice tutorials!
Hi, please can you Tell me wich App Version you have i don t have the timelapse Icon on the New Version....or do you maybe know an Other way to activate Those timelapse Points... Thanks al lot
set video mode
hi Josh, can wi need a cable to connect with gimbal for timelapse
Do you have an idea if I can see the view of the camera in the phone screen instead of using a monitor?
Hey bro excellent timelapse ...... I'm doing a horror trailer next (any suggestions)?
Hello.
I live in Korea.
I saw your wonderful video.
I also have the same product.
My camera is a Samsung camera.
This is nx1.
May I ask you a question?
I purchased the product last year.
For the Time Labs video,
The firmware of the gimbal product
Do I need to update the firmware?
Because I run applications on my mobile phone.
There is no item on the menu of mobile phone applications I have.
The Time Labs menu.
Thank you very much. I'm wondering.
Very nice vídeo, i recently bought the zhiyun crane but i have noticed that timelapses came out very shaky. Hopefully they fix that in an update.
Hey! I didn't find that the upadte solved that shakiness issue. Which update did change it for you? Thank you! Simon
is it possible to get a live feed from your camera through the crane to your phone using the crane to camera cable ?
FYI unfortunately this feature does NOT automatically take photos, even WITH the camera control cable. Stupidly, because the app only supports moving time-lapse in video mode, when you start the time-lapse, it triggers video on the camera, not a photo, at the start -- DOH! Hope ZhiYun fix this abysmal software bug soon. Please note this is on the Sony A6500, and probably is the same bug for all A6XX cameras.
Yep same here for RX100v. Wish they'd focus on the app as opposed to new hardware. Or a 3rd party app be usable as theirs is a bit 😖
would be amazing if it would take aphoto, then move a bit and hold the position, then trigger a photo, then repeat this. for longer exposures at night it is essential that it stays still while exposing. Zhiyun: please :-)
tazztone Zhiyun sucks, they sell stuffs and they don't care at all after if it works well or not.
i bought a crane 2 only to find this out the hard way myself
tazztone Now Moza is going to be my new gimbal, at least I know I will have answers because I know a guy that sells some.
Hi, i tried this with my CRANE V2 and ZY PLAY app. I can set 2-3 way-points etc but my major hurdle is that i cant get it to stop and stick to the last way-point for a few secs, the moment it reaches the last way point, there's no WAIT time, it instantly JUMP moves to the default home position. Can anyone plz help if they know how to make it stop at the last position.
If I want to make 270’ turn but the Crane 2 choose shortes way between two points to move. How can change movement from 90 degrees to 270 degrees?
I tried the app for Sony, the sunrise mode, the app used the setting 6' F8 ISO 100 at the beginning, so if I use the Crane for moving time lapse , let's say for one hour maybe, when the camera is going to take the photo during 6 secondes if the Crane is moving the pictures us going to be blur, so how can we do!?
Great Videos man! Following now. :-) One question about the sony cable (don't find a tutorial or an answer anywhere on the internet). I'd like to shoot moving millkyway timelapses. Without the cable I can't do that, because the crane always moves and the foreground gets blurred. Can I shoot timelapses with longer exposures of a few seconds with that cable? Does the crane then tell the camera when to start a new exposure (interval)? Or do I have to start the timelapse on the crane and at the same time the exposure on the camera itself..?
🙋🏻♂️same here. Want to do exactly the same thing but it just triggers a video recording. Not been able to find anything on the internet either. Gonna post in the Zhiyun Facebook page
David Beazer Hi did you have answer from Zhiyun?
Well this doesn't work with my Android phone but will with the ipad mini 2. I can get into where I set the points and it does nothing when I add the first spot. Even says SPORT vs Motion Time Lapse after I click that. But when running on a ipad it works just find. Odd stuff!
Hi Josh.. I tried moving timelapse (Photos) on my Crane Plus + Sony a7iii but it doesn't work. Any ideas? I have the cables connected from the gimbal to the camera.
Can't you also use this as a pan-slider? e.g. Pan left to right over a few seconds, using regular video mode?
why not the possibilities should be endless
Is it possible to use this function with the crane m version ???
Is Zhiyun Play App finished? such low rating and Crane plus are not even in the app no more...
Can this be done with the first gen version of the zhiyun crane?
Yes definitely :)
can this be done with a canon 77D
which zhiyun crane models can do this ?
All Crane models are capable of the timelapse function.
I have a 77d also and a crane 2
Hey josh, I've got my camera control cable, with that can I use crane 2 as intervalometer? I've got sony A7riii and zhiyun crane 2. With this can I alter my shutter speed as what an intervalometer do? Waiting for ur reply.
Yes, exactly!
Hi! Do you have to have the app open on your phone at all the time while the moving timelapse is going? I find that if I start the timelapse in the app, and turn off my iphone screen, the gimball just goes to its start position, and the moving timelapse stops..
Same for me! Pretty useless for timelapses if you need to keep your phone on and beside the gimbal for several hours.
did anyone get this work with the crane 2 and zy app on android?
your tutorial is amazing but nothing happens when I try it. starting because the app does not look the same anymore and even when I try 30 second time lapses not moving
same here. the gimbal doesnt move, although the app says otherwise.. also, the app freezes all te time when using the timelapse mode on an galaxy s7..
Hi, do I thing right: my Sony A7III will shot pictures automatically during timelapse using sony cable ? A7III doesn't have apps for auto timelapse like sony a6300, 6500...
Unfortunately, I am having trouble understanding your question. If you are referring to the Sony cable, then yes, it should work.
Ok, thanks!
i think you forgot to blink in this video dude 🤭
Hey, two questions.
Which zhiyun crane model are you using?
Whats the firmware for your gimbal?
Please let me know
Crane V2. Latest firmware.
@@MomentumProductions1992 which firmware is the latest?
Crane 2 ,firmware v7.50 I think. Webste has v7.35 .
Jewin?
Hi Josh,
My ZY Play app seems to be different to yours and does not include the moving time lapse button. In its place, I have a photo button that allows for single or panoramic... which also doesn't seem to do anything? I have set application mode to phone control, but doesn;t seem to make the time lapse button appear.
Anyone else have the same menu as I do?
you have to change it to video mode in order for the moving time lapse button to appear :-)
Cheers @sh0rtcircuit
Didn't think to change that, based on the fact I wasn;t using my phone's camera.
yeah it's a bit stupid UI-wise
Hi, I have Zhiyun Crane v2. And there is no option like an "Application Mode" in application. Which firmware do you have in your gimbal?
There are two Zhiyun Crane apps. Use ZY play.
Joshik good moorning, my ZY Play of Aug. 14th neither, no "Application Mode" option too! Please help us!
Make sure to switch from photo to video.
ZY Play App does not work with Android Smartphone as well as IOS iPhone, it is a bad joke of Zhiyun, wake up guys!
Just downloaded the zy Play app from Apple. It is totally different from what you are showing.I think your app is different that what is currently available. Like to try this, but am stopped due to the different app.
I have the latest version of the app.
I downloaded the app today from the App Store and it is the same one as shown in the video.
jooen?
Yup
Can I use with Crane V 1.2 ?
Yes of course!
Cool, thank you.
"...the best way to create a timelapse video using your Jewin' crane"
Hey Josh Morgan! Thanks for this tutorial!
I am wondering why I can't see that "application mode" at 02:03 in my ZYapp? (v1.7.1.12 btw)
Hey Simon! Make sure that you are switched to "video" mode instead of "photo" mode :)
Thank you for your quick answer Josh!
It works now but the shooting time that I can chose isn't respected by the crane... The movement from point A to B is much quicker and then the Crane goes back to the first frame to continue to shoot in that first position for the rest of the time... Strange isn't it?
not working for me.... i cannot set the points
Zairem Renthlei same here, nothing happens when I click the plus sign (Android here)
Zairem Renthlei I made it work by leaving the application mode to camera, it will star recording in your phone, but just stop it and the gimbal will keep moving. Cheers
ok ill give it a try
mine does not start moving.. :(
i deff wouldnt spend 2 grand on a dslr and use it for timelapse photos and eat the shutter up quick
