- here is my review of the zhiyun crane 4, like all my reviews this is not sponsored nor paid. In fact I've had this for over a month now and didn't want to post anything until I had a solid result. Is it better than the DJI Ronin RS3 PRO?
Any questions / mrtechtok

I still recommend searching around for deals but if you do purchase using this code, I do appreciate your support. Any other gimbal questions feel free to reach my on IG @ MrTechTok Cheers!
Would love to see a comparison between the Crane 4 and the RS3 Pro!
Thank you for this great detailed review, what sold me on this is how easy it is to switch between vertical and horizontal mode.
Thank you for this. This is the kind of review I like to watch.
Thank you ! Feel free to share 😊
Appreciate the review and your thoughts, thanks!
Appreciate your comments. Cheers
Thanks for this video. I am a photographer in need of a gimbal with A7RV paired with Tamron 35-150mm heavy long but extremely versatile lens for run & gun event shooting & documentary. Would you recommend the RS3 Pro for the CF arm, auto-lock.... or the Crane 4 for the LED light, wrist support and sling arm? Thanks.
Thanks for the review! What's the difference between the WB and the Crane series?
hope you guys like another honest review, let me know what you want tested/compared to next
How are the screws? Kinda hating my DJI RSC2 right now. Looking to buy a newer, better one.
Is it possible to buy combo accessories separately?
Amazing review!
Thank you my friend
So which is you could only buy one, which one would it be?
Hi! Great review! Hi I'm having a problem and I want to know if you know how can I fix it. Brand new Crane 4. Charged at home, once fully charged when I unplugged the USB-C the screen won't stop showing the battery icon, never turns off. Even when I power on the unit it shows like it's still charging.
Updated to the latest firmware and it does the same thing. Zhiyun support told me via Facebook that it could be a hardware problem with the unit so I got another unit from the retailer, same problem. Also the battery on my Crane 4 on screen appears white even after firmware update, not green with the percentage like yours.
Sorry for the large text but I wanted to give you all context. Thank you in advance!!
I am a cinematographer in my head and I don't understand whether I should take Crane 4 or Daji Ras 3 please tell me which one is the best
Love the video. Hope you max out the payload too next time.😊
Yea a little unfortunate , the only time I wish I had a heavier camera
Can you do a comparison Crane 4 vs RS3? Better if compared to RS3 Pro ^_^
What about creative shots? 360 movement?
Great review. I wonder how the Crane 4 compares the Crane 3S. It appears to be more compact with some strong motors.
Unfortunately I didn’t but the 3S. I feel like not necessary to upgrade every model but new models tends to be slight better as usual.
so it better than the dji rs2 pro or 3pro?
Just to correct. It isn’t softer light it is diffused light. Based on how close and in size the object of light is compared to the subject will determine if it is getting softer or harder.
Greetings from Turkey, my dear teacher, I have a weebill 3 gimbal, but vertical shooting is quite difficult and I generally use fujifilm 70 300, should I buy weebill 3s or crane 4?
You can refer to their compatibility list to see if your camera can be vertically balanced~ ;)

Thanks for this review, it was useful.
One complaint/observation though! I don't understand why you include footage taken with IBIS on.
Obviously IBIS, or any other post stab system will disguise the shortcomings of any gimbal.
I imagine that most, if not all people watching this video are wanting to compare gimbals.
The comparison with the WB3S for example, showed very little, as both had IBIS on.
You did show some footage with IBIS off, so I was happy with that.
I wonder what the weight are crane 4 and weebill 3s in the whole setup? Thank you
The weight of the Weebill 3S is 1647g (without the tripod), and the weight of the Crane 4 is 1672g (without the tripod).
Exactly what i wanted from the weebill 3 to be. Think this is gooing to be a good seller
comparison video with the Dji Rs2 please
[ my first gibal was the crane. amazing lil thing for its time.]
Mine was the crane 2. Heavy but durable. Came a lot way
Tell a friend what to choose - Weebill 3S or Crane 4? Need super smooth footage with minimal micro-shake
please answer my question, i really need it
no such thing as super smooth on any gimbal. its mostly body movement and a bit of post my friend. personally I would take the crane 4 for heavy setup and future proofing.
Would have been nice if you actually answered your own question. Is it better than DJI?
vs Dji RS3/RS3 Pro pls 😊
looks shaky, and it seems to be difficult do do orbit shots which has been my experience with older cranes aswell
Can it handle nikon z9?
I saw the Nikon Z7/Z8 in the compatibility list but no Z9..zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230620/1687232554044-faG8yzJ8.pdf
why is the video quality 360?
TH-cam needs times to process it’s now HD
老铁,帮我们做一个测评,可以吗
Good thing I didn't buy the Weebill 3 and DJI RS 3. Crane 4 looks good! :D

cannot disclose my friend
