I watch this every time I need to balance my crane. Thanks man
No problem bro. It’s good to hear that.
Thanks man, yours was the one tutorial that really helped me balance the Zhiyun Finally! cheers
Awesome! Hope you get some really good footage now 👌🏽
im new to the v2 and i got it just today, as soon as i thought it wouldnt balance my camera i was ready to return it, until i saw this video.. thank you for this !
You're welcome! Glad to hear you were able to make it work 👍
Easy to assemble, good strong materials, feels good, looks good.
Glad you enjoy it 👍🏽
Have to admit I watched a bunch of videos and wasn't able to balance until I watched yours. Thanks
I’m very happy to hear this! Glad my video helped you 👍🏽
Hey thanks mate! used your links to pick up the extra gear you recommended. The Zhiyun isn't perfect, but its a heck of a lot easier to tote around than the Ronin! Much appreciated!
You’re welcome and good luck with everything 👍🏽
Thank you Hai ! The little owner's manual was crazy useless. I totally used your easy-how-to video to fully understand it. Big thanks to you! Cheers!
Glad the video helped you 👍🏽
NOw this video is the reason why my crane is on point.
THANKS HAI!
You’re welcome!
Best tutorial on youtube. Thanks man!
Thanks a lot bro!
Well done, thanks! Balanced my a6500 with ease after watching.
Glad to hear the video helped 👍
Great job explaining! Much better than the manual.
Glad you found the video useful 👍🏽
Perfectly balanced, like all things
Lol glad to hear it 👍🏽
Thanks man it helped me balance it quickly
You’re welcome!
This video was a great help, clear and concise instructions! I have an issue, I can lock down the Tilt axis, and it stays in any position I move it to(perfect), but when i balance the Roll and Pan they always move back to the center position I balanced it to(parallel). So if I balance the roll so the bar is parallel to the ground then move the bar down(or Up) it will swing back to center. Is this an issue? You've earned my sub either way.
Thanks a lot for subscribing! As far as your situation, can you dm me a video via Instagram so I can see what's going on? @TheUpperLeftUSA
Thanks a lot. Your video was very helpful. Now I just need to get a quick release plate so I don't have to do this every time!
Glad the video helped you 👍🏽
Interesting method.
But - and I don't have a gimbal so i'm guessing - I would have balanced it in the opposite sequence. Start with the
adjustment atop the tripod and work your way toward the camera's baseplate.
Have you tried that way, and what were the results?
+spikey 27 Are you suggesting doing pan, roll, tilt then baseplate? I've really only ever balanced the gimbal in the order that I've done it in the video.
Although it's easy to balance, I feel that since the pan requires you to lift the gimbal, most people would do it last. I personally leave it last because it's easy and doesn't require much thought. I focus on doing the hard stuff first.
I balance the roll first because as I've said, if you don't, while balancing the tilt and baseplate, the camera will be bouncing around, making it harder to balance.
The tilt and baseplate is next because they correspond with one another and generally take more time. I assume that this is where most people will be having difficulty balancing the device. Once this is done, everything else is pretty self explanatory.
If you work at it backwards, I feel that it would be doing pretty much the same thing that I did. The only difference would be doing the pan first.
Great video! I'm struggling with the balance of my Crane 2 with a 5D Mark III and a 24-105 lens. I can balance it perfectly level but when I move it to a different position it's supposed to stay in that position - but mine just keeps flopping back to its levelled position. I've recalibrated it. Once I've balanced, with the camera facing forward I can point the camera down and up and it'll stay put like it should do, but if I roll to either side, it always rolls back to centre. Is it me or have i just purchased a faulty gimbal? If you need a video for understand better my issue I can send it to you. Thank you!! :)
From what you said, I don’t think it’s the gimbal. Since you had the same issue with the tilt and then was able to get it balanced properly. It sounds like it just needs to be balanced further. If you can’t get it, just try turning the gimbal on and using it. See if it even matters because very often you don’t even need to get the gimbal balanced to he point of it staying in every position. You just need it to the initial balanced position.
Thanks. Got perfect balance now.
Good to hear 👌🏽
Thanks bro I’m now fully balanced 👊🏻🤓
Now go get some stabilized footage!!! 👍
I bought this for the savings and haven't successfully balanced my DSLR on it yet. And when I do, I'll have another balancing act with lens changes and my other cams. Do two-handed Ronins give users this much trouble?
Unless you get a custom gimbal made for a specific setup, balancing is going to be something that you’ll have to learn to live with.
Great tutorial! Just a stupid question, after balancing it for the first time, you don't need to do it every time you want to use it, as long you use the same camera with same lens and the quick release plate, right?
Yes. As long as the setup doesn’t change and the balance isn’t accidentally changed, you can use the gimbal without having to rebalance.
My biggest problem with this gimbal is I cant see my screen!! Like wth? The back arm completely block it’s screen and I have to hold it somewhat sideways and I sacrifice some stability.
Manufacturers make gimbals with an angled roll arm for a reason. You bought the wrong gimbal for your needs.
Appreciate the help homie!
Enjoy filming 👍🏽
i know this is video is a little old but could you help me, ive done everything and it works just fine when the gimbal is turned off but when i turn it on, it slowly goes up until around 60 degrees
I’ve gotten rid of this gimbal a long time ago so have no way of helping you. I’d suggest contacting the manufacturer in case they have some insight.
I have a Panasonic G85 with the 50mm lens, no matter what I do my camera leans back. Only thing I can think of is my camera is too light. I have the base plate all the way to the front and its still leaning back.
Weight may be the issue. The camera setup may just be too light.
Hai Tran Thanks for the quick reply. Any suggestions on how to fix it
If weight is the issue then finding a way to add weight is the only real solution.
This was super helpful! Thanks so much
You're welcome, enjoy the gimbal 👍
Great video
Thank you
Thank you for this vid. Very helpful.
You're welcome. Good luck balancing 👍
Thank you. Nice tutorial
You're welcome, glad it helped.
Thanks for the tips on balancing, I can`t work out how to put it into standby mode.
V.1 you hold down the joy stick, I have V.2 and the joy stick isn`t clickable!
+Michael Brampton I’ve been told that to put the Zhiyun Crane V2 into standby, you press and hold the mode button for three seconds. Hopes this helps!
If I was going to set out to demo this process and did it as well as you've done, I'd be like SO pleased with myself!
Don't have one yet - my 5d2 with the 28mm Pentax prime I want to use for this comes to a bit under 1200g - how does that compare to your Sony set up? No way I can afford the bigger heavier Crane... but I'm a little concerned that's pushing things a bit.
Even though all of these gimbals give a maximum load capacity, that number can only be achieved under certain situations. I can tell you that the same set up shown in this video but with a cage is pretty much the absolute maximum that I can get to work with this gimbal even though it is under the maximum capacity and at that, the gimbal isn’t even balanced properly. It is just balanced enough to function. If I were you, I would invest in the Crane 2 just to have the flexibility to really balance a variety of setups.
Amazing review! Thank you.
You're welcome, thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the tutorial...do we have to balance every time we put the camera on the gimbal?
Not unless you changed the camera setup or adjusted the gimbal between uses.
I use the ZY Play app and cant get the gimbal to finally stop at the final point. It will instantly jump back to the default home position. Example i set point A to focus on a vase and then point B to a window. The damn thing wont finish and stay at that window. It will immediately JUMP to the start position. Any help from someone here who knows how to make it stay at the last waypoint/position being set ?
I no longer own this gimbal so can't help with the issue. Hopefully, someone else can.
What camera did you use to record yourself? (the image quality is impressive).
This was awhile ago but it was very likely the Sony A7SII.
Got it, your video helped a lot.
Awesome! Thanks for watching 👍🏽
Thank you
You're welcome. Hope it helps you!
I am struggling to keep the camera positioned any way i want "after" balancing it. I've been at this for a day and am not sure if its because the weight of the camera is too small or i may have fucked up the motor. gear: a6500 with a 10-18mm.
please help if you can
That set up should provide enough weight for you to properly balance the crane. If you have Instagram, DM me a video of your balancing and I'll see if I can figure out the problem.
yea. Ill slide into you DM's tomorrow. Gotta go to work!
I am also really curious what would be the problem here. Since I can basically balance it. Not being able to keep it positioned. However, whenever I turn it on. It works as it should.
Just the positioning after the "balancing" does not keep it the same when pushing it a bit forward or backward.
+ThorgalCaesar It works when you turn it on even though it’s not balanced because the motor is working to correct it. It’ll work, but it’ll just put more stress on the motor reducing your battery life and probably the general life of the motor in the long run. If you have a problem with balancing, DM me a video of what’s going on through Instagram and I’ll see if I can figure it out.
I just DMed you a video! I noticed I left the hoodcap on in the video, however, whenever I take it off. It basically does the same. Thanks in advance.
Thank you greetings Form Berlin Germany
You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Thanks! Really helpful!
You're welcome!
Awesome man, thank you very much!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching 👍🏽
Can you link to the exact QR plate you used? Evaluating various one, as I'll go with the same plate on all my gear. Thanks in advance.
I've pretty much switched to this one on all of my tripods/accessories.
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_id=114&ipn=icep&toolid=20004&campid=5338083292&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FMENGS-CL-50LS-Quick-Release-Clamp-w-Adjustable-Lever-Knob-For-Ballhead-Tripod%2F371677766608%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%253AMEBIDX%253AIT%26_trksid%3Dp2057872.m2749.l2649
Hey! Have you tried balancing the a7rII with it's battery grip? I'm curious to see if it would work as I'd much rather have the battery grip on without the hassle of switching batteries.
I've tried this but would not really recommend it. Even if you balance it to an acceptable point, there is no top clearance so you'll have to watch how you move the handle. I'm a battery grip user too but have learned to just not use it when I'm using the Crane.
so i just got my gimbal, and granted its my 1st night trying, but after trying for hours i can't balance it at all. it keeps rolling forward (lens goes down) I'm using the fuji xt2 and light lenses like the rokinon 12, fuji 18-55 and the 23 1.4. none of them work. I adjusted the side screws and the baseplate like you said but no matter what i do it kept rolling forward, best i could do eventually was to just get it to go forward (facing down) just a little bit. but never level.
Eventually i gave up and tried to add the battery grip, figured that had a lot of weight on it, maybe that would help, well sure did now the thing would roll backwards (lens facing up), no matter what i did from there it would always go backwards. Until I tried the bigger heavy lens the 16-55, and sure enough it would roll forward again. But couldn't ever adjust it to just be balanced either.
Small and light lenses or big and heavy, nothing seems to help, grip or no grip. Extremely frustrated and really hope my gimbal isn't broken. its probably user error but dang this is so hard.
If the setup is falling forward/ backward, the first thing you should be adjusting is the baseplate. Move it back and forth to compensate in the direction opposite of the fall. The second thing to do is adjust the vertical arm. If you drop it all the way down and the setup still falls forward/ backward, then it definitely means you have the baseplate setup improperly. Adjust the baseplate then and raise the vertical arm. Keep down this until you can't raise the vertical arm anymore. Adding more weight wouldn't be how I would approach this problem.
eventually got it to work, took hours to balance. IDK what i did. lol. I balanced the base plate like a million times (it felt like) before and it didn't matter what i did. I guess eventually i got lucky.
Hopefully, you can figure it out because you're not going to want to use it if it takes hours to balance it every time.
Do you think the GX85 with the kit lens is gonna be too light, and also a 20mm pancake lens
Unfortunately, I don't have the GX85 so I can't accurately answer your question. I do know that some people have had issues with the a6300 being too light so there is a chance that your setup is too light.
Thanks a lot bro for the efficient tutorial. Please, could you tell 2 where i can find your Arca Swiss Adapter. Because, went to the website but couldn't find the same version like the one you have. Thanks once again !
This is the exact arca swiss adapter that I'm using in the video. It can be purchased using the link.
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_id=114&ipn=icep&toolid=20004&campid=5338083292&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570.l1313%26_nkw%3DMENGS%2BCL-50LS%26_sacat%3D0
The Upper Left USA thanks a lot bro. I still have a problem in balancing the Zhiyun crane, using the Sony a6500 with Zeus 16:35 / F4 lens.
As a reference, I can balance the A7rii/A7sii with the Zeiss 16-35 F4 without a problem. I feel that the a6500 and A7rii/A7sii are close enough in size that you should be able to balance it with the 16-35 without a problem. Just keep going at it 👍
yeah i will keep going and hope the adapter will help. Many thanks once again !
This is just me, but I don't think having the adapter will really help at all in balancing. It just makes mounting the camera faster. If you can't balance it without an adapter, you won't be able to do it with an adapter. If anything, the adapter will only add to your max payload.
Also, you're welcome and glad I could help you.
Do you think the zhiyun crane V2 would work good with a sony a6000+ 16-35mm canon lens w/ adapter?
I don’t have this setup so can’t concretely verify for you. I would say that I’m concerned because with the adapter, the setup would be front heavy and there may not be enough clearance to actually balance it properly. But again, this is just an assumption.
I get mine perfectly balanced but still see a noticeable shake when I walk...What can be the cause of this??? Please help.
From personal experience, there are 3 possibilities: improper balancing, the setup weighs too much for the motor, or poor walking/holding technique when in use.
Do you need the little tripod to balance it?
No, it's just for convenience and so you don't have to lay the gimbal down whenever it's not in use.
I see you have both the a6300 and a6500, which would you recommend I get if I'm shooting 85% video 15% photos?
Have you seen my a6300/a6500 videos? I talk about why I upgraded to and sold the a6500. The videos are linked below.
th-cam.com/video/8pVat5b14NA/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/_zjF40TSw34/w-d-xo.html
In all, I think the two cameras are very similar, especially if you're mainly worried about video. If I were you, I'd just go with whichever I can get the best deal on!
very usefull ! thanks
You’re welcome, enjoy the gimbal 👍🏽
hey... i dont know my.. but after balancing and turning it on.. my handlebar rotates too much fast.. when i leave it... is it normal cuz after grabbing the handle it works fine?
You can adjust speeds in the app.
Did you turn on the gamble while setting it up
I'm assuming you meant gimbal, not gamble. If so, are you talking about in general or in the video? If in the video, then yes.
I bought a gimbal and i cant get it to stay in place where ever i put it
Various things can contribute to that problem. You may have just not balanced the gimbal properly or the problem could also be that the setup is too light. It's hard for me to say definitively without actually doing the balancing.
thank you !!!
No problem, good luck with the balancing 👌
i have a sony a6000 and i just bought a sony a600 and i am having time balancing when i get to the till part. Is it because i am using a 16-50mm or what is it? can someone help. THANK YOU
DM me a video through Instagram.
Should it be calibrated straight out of the box?
My gimbal didn't have to be but that doesn't mean that this is so for all gimbals.
I can't move the plate
Unfortunately without seeing the problem, all I can tell you is to make sure you’re loosening the right screw to release the plate.
What brand is the quick release base plate you are using?
It's this one that I've only been able to find on ebay
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_id=114&ipn=icep&toolid=20004&campid=5338083292&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FMENGS-CL-50LS-Quick-Release-Clamp-w-Adjustable-Lever-Knob-For-Ballhead-Tripod%2F371677766608%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%253AMEBIDX%253AIT%26_trksid%3Dp2057872.m2749.l2649
do you need to calibrate it in the app before you do this? I completed all your actions and it was balanced fine. Then I calibrated it in the app and once it turns on it loses balance now and joy stick keeps spinning? Is the app calibration even necessary?
The app calibration isn’t necessary. It’s more to fine tune the movement/settings if you want.
Thanks for the response! Did you bother upgrading the firmware when you got yours? Or did you just take it out of the box, balance it and then just use it from there?
I just use it out of the box and still do. Haven't bothered to adjust it in any way yet.
So I've heard different opinions on the subject of lens/camera stability in addition to the gimbal... like ois or ibis. I have ois on some of my lenses like the 18-55mm fuji lens, would that help with stability or make it worse and get in the way?
I was using my rokinon 12mm f2 lens and it did a good job mostly but still some shake. maybe its just user error and how i walk. Sadly I don't think i can use this lens for vlogging it seems like i was always out of focus bc of min. focus distance when i had the camera flip around to selfie mode. but for everything else it worked nicely. maybe a good wedding lens once I get more practice, maybe try the heavier but theoretically nicer lens my 16-55 2.8 zoom.
It's typically recommended to turn OIS or IBIS off when on a gimbal but I never do. You'll just have to do your own testing and see what works for you.
Actually you can use the rokinon as vlogging lens, just make sure to close the aperture to f/4 or 5.8 and set your focus in infinity that’s it! I using a manual lens as vlogging lens!
Hi. I have a similar set up with the a7rii and 28 mm. The problem I am having is that the base plate hits the bottom axis when rotated.. I feel I have tried to adjust it so that it doesn’t hit but then it’s out of balance. I’d love your help on this. I’m getting frustrated :)
I regularly use the A7RII with the 28mm so can say that if the baseplate is hitting the pan axis, your setup is too low. Raise the tilt and readjust.
The Upper Left USA I have it all the way to the top and it still hits.
You should not need to have it all the way up. It won't balance properly. It doesn't make sense how the baseplate would hit the bottom pan axis (where the handle is) if it is all the way up. DM me a video of the situation on Instagram @TheUpperLeftUSA
Do you still recommend the quick release plate even though it has one?
Yes, have a quick release system on the Zhiyun Crane will make your life a lot easier. Check what I wrote about that in the description.
Number 4000 here :)
👏🎉🎊Welcome to the channel!!!👏🎉🎊
hi great video, but im still having issues balancing my gimbal, iv got a sony a6300 with sigma 30mm f1.4 Art lens..iv got it balanced but when i try to position it as you mentioned it doesn't stay in that position it still goes back to the middle, any idea on why its doin that or how i can achieve the same results as you?
If you have Instagram, DM me a video of how you have it. I’ll try to help you, but need to see it.
Have this prob too. 😭
DM me on Instagram if you can’t figure it out.
FIXED! :) .
Glad to hear it 👍🏽
Are you in Portland or Seattle?
I'm in between the two now.
Continued success and blessings
That is much appreciated 🙏
I have the Sony A7s ii with the 24-70mm lens but having trouble balancing on the Crane 2. Do you think my lens is too heavy for this product?
The Zhiyun Crane 2 has a maximum payload of 7 lbs, which is more than enough for the Sony A7SII and 24-70 f/4 or f/2.8. Your problem with balancing is likely not a weight issue, but that the combo is too long for the setup to actually balance. The gimbal might not have enough clearance to actually get the combo to the proper balancing position. I don't have the Zhiyun Crane 2 so can't verify this, but this is a problem with the Zhiyun Crane V2.
I see. Thank you so much for the fast response and clarifying my issue. I might look into the lens you have or just return the gimbal. We'll see!
You’re welcome. I would suggest you invest in a small lens. You’re going to have issues with a long lens on any single handed gimbal. It won’t balance properly until you go to something the size of a DJI Ronin.
Just got a new crane and it doesn't seem to turn properly when i use it in follow mode. It turns right but doesnt turn left and so on, Can someone tell me how to do a factory reset on this thing.
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?
LOL. That was something the beginners themselves do but i was asking experts here or people who own it. I spoke to the manufacturer head office and they are like eeeeeerrrrr bluuuuuuh blaaahhhhh. He didnt know anything. He was telling me try xyz. I said that didnt work. He goes > ok try zyx. I said that didn't work either. He goes > Ummm that means both no working, we will try other method (in the same broken English), did you try to see on youtube, many videos there sir. That's why im here asking some people who actually know :). The head office knows sales and where to buy it. He Goes > Where did you buy ?, how much you pay ?, you could have bought in our dealer sir. Why you bought amazon ?. (his dealer tries to sell it without official warranty at 30% higher than amazon price, with no returns i believe lol, at least amazon had 10 day return policy). When i ask him to just help me troubleshoot and get it to work. He goes > This is outdated model sir, that's why it have no drivers, no support. WTF ???? I paid and bought officially with bill, he agreed its covered under warranty, but no support to get it to work etc bec its an outdated model.
That’s unfortunate but at least they’re covering it under warranty.
Cover what under warranty. How do i know if its even broken to send it to these muffs to tamper and open it up and try to repair it. How would you feel to send back a brand new unit to be repaired and given back to you. Once repaired you can expect nothing but trouble in the future. For all you know, its not set properly or its a setting problem, in which case my gimbal will be unnecessarily opened and fiddled with, put back with screws missing etc just to get it out and be done with it. In my country those are the standards with every warranty ive ever experienced. I maintain them brand new and after service they come back with scratches here and there. Scratches from the screw holes, which imply the technician made them. Ford does that to my cars regularly. It goes in for service, meaning oil top up and that kind, it will come back with dash board scratches, scratches on my fender and they'll argue that it was already there.
That’s a cost to play the game and it sounds like you already know that. You choose to use the warranty and you gamble with the possibilities. No one is forcing anything on you. If it were me, I would’ve returned the unit at first sign of issues. I wouldn’t even have bothered with the warranty if I bought a new unit and was within a return window.
Hey man I’m using the Sony a6000 with Sigma 30mm 1.4 it’s always front heavy no matter how far up or down my axis is, any help
Have you tried moving the setup back towards the roll motor?
The Upper Left USA yes
From experience, I would say that because the lens you're using is relatively small, it shouldn't give you much trouble with being front heavy. If your setup is far back towards the roll motor and low on the tilt motor and you're still front heavy, something is wrong. It takes a lot of weight to push those two axis to the max. I had heavier setups on my Crane and I didn't even push them that far. The only two points of adjustments that would affect the issues that you're facing are the camera/baseplate position and the height of the tilt arm.
The Upper Left USA it’s fine I got it solved I just taped some weights to the top of the camera, it finally balances, I’m guessing the weight distribution from this setup by itself isn’t exactly made for this gimbal, if I put a mic on it then it would work a lot better, but thanks for trying to help
I've been thinking that over the past day. The only thing I could think of was that your setup wasn't heavy enough. But that didn't make sense to me because you said that you had the tilt arm low. Which in theory would only be front heavy if you have a setup that was heavier than the gimbal could balance. A really light setup would need to have the tilt arm all the way up. Either way, glad you were able to solve the problem. Have fun using the gimbal 👍
WTH! mine will NOT tilt forward at ALL!!?? HELP
How so? You're not giving enough information.
The Upper Left USA hi man, it only tilts forward with my larger lens (12-60) it wouldn’t tilt forward with my 25mm. Very annoying. I’ve now balanced it on my larger lens but when I turn it on the camera just flies all over the place. Idk !!
If it's tilting forward then the only logical answer is that the camera isn't pulled back far enough towards the roll axis motor. How high you have the carriage on the horizontal will also affect this.
The Upper Left USA no! It will not tilt forward. Matter what I do, there’s not enough weight in front
It is extremely difficult to not have enough weight in front because essentially all camera setup with a lens will be front heavy.
do you know if it matters if the tilt motor, when looking from behind the roll motor, is on the left or right?
I believe the motor being on the right is the proper way to balance.
hey , i just bought a zhiyun crane and my camera(panasonic G7) is too light to be tilting forward, no matter how i lower down the tilt axis and the base plate.i cant balance the camera like what you did in the video
What is the problem? It won't tilt forward or it's tilting forward too much?
it wont tilt forward
Have you tried pushing the base plate forward?
and , once i set the mode to tilt locked, i adjust my camera to the to highest angle (camera looking up) through joystick, my camera drop back to flat level immediately , no matter how man times i tried , is this something to do with battery power?
From what I see, he has his tilt axis way too low. Lowering the tilt axis is really to compensate for a heavier camera. If your base plate is all the way forward and your camera is tilting back like the video you sent, you need to start raising the tilt axis. The higher the tilt axis, the more you'll need to move the base plate back though.
If you can't figure it out and you have Instagram, DM me a video of what you have going and I'll see if I can figure it out for your case. @TheUpperLeftUSA
