They should come up with more complicated model names... just To confuse potential buyers
Just ordered the V2 yesterday before this video came out. Now I feel at ease that i made the right decision. Thanks!
That’s awesome! You’ll love the Crane v2! Thanks for watching!
I came here to learn about gimbals and found myself smiling and laughing the whole way through. Nice work, dude!
AWESOME! That was my intent! Thanks for watching!
Nice. Fast, informative, high energy.
Thanks Christopher! I appreciate it man!
you exaggerate, btw you're not funny at all
LOL. You totally nailed me.
GOOOOOOD :))))
Christopher Burress Spot on mate,heading to test a v2 for my canon 6d Mark 2.Wanna up my B-roll videos from Russia.Hope I will be convinced to get one.Thanks a lot
5:53 police car going past while you're holding a camera, vlogging and driving. #thuglife
LOL. #BOSS
Well, I ordered the Zhiyun Crane Plus and will return it. Why? I realized too late (my fault) that for full function I would require a Panasonic or Sony camera. I need the control panel function of the Gimbal and this is simply not working with Fuji or Nikon (or Canon). Be aware of this before you buy. If you don't need the control panel then this is not an issue.
So helpful! You manage to get straight to the point while still being funny and engaging! LEGEND!
Haha, thanks Leon! And thanks for watching!
Really fun and info-rich video. I've had the v2 for a few years and like it more than ever. I'm using a GH5 with Olympus 12-40mm Pro or 7-14mm Pro. That latter lens is maxing it out for me. Keep in mind because a gimbal has a listed payload of lbs/kgs, that doesn't mean you want to put that much weight onto it. It will NOT perform well when maxed out!
And I haven't found a quick release plate and clamp thin enough to use while getting proper balance, so I mount the camera and lens directly to the gimbal. It's not convenient, but it works! I wish it did Time lapses, though. Best to you!
04:17 😂😂😂 I love this guy I swear...
I have the a6300 with a 18-105 OSS, what do you recommend?
Love seeing the Crane Plus shots in my hometown!
Nice music for the montage. Thanks for the info. I'm about to grab a Crane V2 today because of your info. (Crane 2 too bulky!)
Woo-hoo! What about the Crane Plus? It’s the same size as the Crane v2 and carries a heavy payload
The v2 was cheaper haha. Was initially looking at the Crane M but as most people say its very limited due to max payload allowance. The v2 here was only like 60$ more.
Oh and also grabbed one of the remotes. I'll be using the crane remotely 50% of the time since I'm a one-man production and will use the remote as my cameraman. Thanks again!
Oh cool!!!! Have fun with it!
Hey, Sidney!
You did a very nice comparison of the products, especially with the selfy mode shots. For a long time I want to test some of them, but I am not exactly sure which one do I actually need for my camera setup. I use Panasonic GH5 with mostly native lenses and I am planing to use it with Sigma 18-35 with metabones adapter. Which one do you think would serve better my needs, because I am really confused and those gimbals are not easy to find in my country?
Also could you help me with some contacts to Zhiyun I could use for requesting a product for review?
Greetings from Bulgaria! :)
For gimbals, the lighter the setup the better. The Sigma 18-35 is pretty heavy, so the only gimbal to handle it is the Crane 2. Otherwise, the native lenses might be a better fit for you
3:34 sold it... tracking well from left to right, as in War Stabilizer an these shots will def look like cinema camera movements.
Do you think the Zhiyun Crane v2 would do well with a Sony a6100 and Sigma 16mm f1.4 lens? Thank you!
Great stuff man, I really enjoy your videos. You are a master of the cut
Thanks so much man!!!
Can someone please do a 10hrs version of the Dancing part at 4:19?😂
Btw awesome video, and nice comperission! Really liked the music
Haha, YES!!! Thanks for watching!
Sidney Diongzon Ohh and btw you gained a new subscriber! Awesome work really love your style and character! Keep it up👌
Thanks so much!
Heading to test a v2 for my canon 6d Mark 2.Wanna up my B-roll videos from Russia.Hope I will be convinced to get one.Thanks a lot mate and happy new year from Russia-Moscow 👌
Hey Sidney, another great video. Two questions: First, if we're on a budget and only shoot with a small mirrorless camera, gopro and galaxy s8+, is the Zhiyun M-3 a pretty good option? Second, what is the music you used in this video for your footage montage? Thanks!
Great question! I don’t think the M3 would be strong enough to hold a mirror less camera. I would go with at the very least the Crane v2. Ideally, the Crane Plus for your situation. You want strong motors to handle your gear
This video couldn't be more timely! Thanks bro! Appreciate the hard work. Now to watch. 😏
Oh good! I hope this was helpful!!
Sidney Diongzon pretty much. I thought the v2 and the plus are equal in weight.
this is the ive looking for planning to get a gimbal
YOU are THE best! as ALWAYS super duper review!
Thank you sooooo much for watching!!
Away from the review, your personality is amazing!!!!!!!!!
Love the reviews, definitely subbed!
Thank you so much!!
Like the editing. Keep out the good job!
Hey Sidney, thnx for the great video. It was pretty useful. Please tell Zhiyun to send you a check with your commision for making me buy a Crane Plus gimbal as soon as my credit card stops smoking. Greetings from Cologne, Germany!! Btw, are you coming for Photokina this year? ;-)
Hahaha! I would LOVE to go to Photokina one day!!! Hopefully soon!!
cool vid man. subbed
Thanks for the sub Jason!
I love your reviews!! Mega nice!! 😄💪🏼
Thanks so much Daniel!
Great video man Nice Comparison ! keep it up
Thanks so much!!! And thanks for watching!
Want a help from you brother,
I want to Buy Zhiyun Crane Plus in India but not in any online website, and from us and other countries if i buyed then our Indian Customs are so fucked up so can you please tell me where and how i will get it, as may be you are good with Zhiyun Members? Help me out
Not sure how I can help from this end bro. Amazon?
So... object tracking only available on the plus version right?
You are funny and great info.Thanks for taking time to do the video!
Thanks so much for watching!!
SERIOUSLY the best review I've seen! thank you for being so helpful!!! because of you I can finally make a decision!!! Can't wait to watch other vids!!
Oh good! Glad this was helpful!
That Transition At 6:31 got me Haha 🔥
Its 11pm, I’m still in my office waiting for a video to upload to ze cloud and this gave me a good chuckle. Sub earned! Thank you sir. As a 6d2 user, I’m thinking of going for the CranePlus over the Crane V2 just because I don’t like how close I’d be getting to that 1.8kg max. For me, the Crane2 is overkill - and I dont like the follow focus wheel because I’m left handed and its in the way. Plus, one more thing to go wrong / get damaged. Cheeeeeers
Glad you enjoyed the video!!! Thanks for watching!
@@SidneyDiongzon Whats best for a NON pro, Gopro 8 : Zhiyune Crane M2 VS iSteady Pro2 VS G5 or G6 ready to buy right now...TY !
Love your vids man! Please keep em coming! More vids with tips on the Sony a6500 please!
Thank you for an informative and entertaining video!
Thank YOU for watching!!
Interesting. I'm actually moving from phonography w/a Smooth 4 to an a6300, thinking a v2 will suit my needs pretty well based on this video.
Yeah the v2 will do just fine!
@@SidneyDiongzon also for a6300 with 18-105?
Hello There! Great Vid! Do you think CRANE V2 can handle this setup: a7s Mark 1 (520gr) + Samyang 24 VDSRL (700gr) + Variable ND (86gr) = Total weight: 1,3Kg - Thanks in advance!
Yep. As long as your setup is lighter than 3.9lbs you should be okay!
Wow amazing ! Loved it man
Thanks so much!
interested to acquire a Zhiyun gimble for my Sony Alpha 6500(453g) with Carl Zeiss(308g) lens and Rode micro video (42g). Total about 803g.Which one should I choose? Regards
I'd go with the Crane Plus!
You’re hilarious & informative! Awesome job! Appreciate it!
Thanks so much!!
Do you think the v2 would work well with a canon t7i with a rode go mic? I think the camera with lens is only about 1.7 lbs
Maybe! Give it a shot
Sorry ,couldnt understand which one is better for who?
Its my first time watching your videos and... you freaking rock! instantly subscribed
Wow! Thank you soooo much!
Hi Sidney, really need to make up my mind between the crane 2 or plus , using the GH4 and 5 for more of weddings , does the crane 2 have the POV mode and object tracking any any sort?
Get the Crane 2! You'll find that the stronger motors will support your GH5 and whatever lens you attach with it. And yes, Crane 2 has POV mode and object tracking mode.
🎬 1 🎥 📽 🎞 🗣 🎙 🧐 Outstanding, thank you so much for sharing. 🌎🌍🌏 Good teacher, ✅✅✅✅✅ You are funny
Glad this was helpful!
Great review, great quality everything. Thanks for making it easy on which one I think is best for me, btw ima get the plus for simple travel vloggin with a canon 80d and sony rx100
Glad this was helpful! Thanks for watching!!
Okay someone please help me i really want to get a crane 2 and i've been saving up for months.... but i am confused if you can use it with the canon m50 or not. Or possibly the canon rebel t6i? is the m50 too light? and does the auto focus work and all the other features? I need help some please reply. thank you
currently deciding between the Crane 2 and the Crane plus...
my setup is a GH5 and adapted canon lenses, primarily like the Sigma 18-35 1.8 with metabones... Which one would you personally choose?
Crane 2 all the way! You’ll need the stronger motors for that heavy 18-35 lens of yours!
For a first time gimbal owner and a future user of the a6500 and the 77d as my shooters which gimbal would you say is best? That focus dial is pretty cool
I'd go with the Crane Plus. Best bang for you buck!
Hi Sidney! Does the song that starts at 03:22 come from Soundstripe or Artist? And what is the title? Love your vids! Thanks!
I totally forgot, LOL. Sorry. I want to say Artlist...
im looking to invest in a gimbal.. currently using 7dmkii paired with a sigma 18-35, which gimbal should i get??
Crane 2 should be able to handle that setup!
Man, i'am from Russia, just order Crane 2 for my GH4+Sigma 18-35 and looking some videos about Zhiyun. Your video is really cool, i think you need much more subs, like 500k or 1M :)
Good luck!
Thanks for kind words Denis! I'm excited you'll be getting the Crane 2!
Hey! I just got a Sony a7riii with a 24-105mm on your opinion, which one (of the gimbals) is the best for my camera
So awesome! I’d say the Crane 2!!
Does the crane 2 have all the same modes as the Plus version? Or if you could point me in the direction of a comparative chart I’d appreciate it. Great video btw
It has most of the features! Check out Momentum Productions for details about the cranes!
Great job. But I have a big fat DSLR that requires a gimbal which can handle up to 10 lbs. Keep me posted for your review of the Crane 3 LAB ! please ?
Working on it!
First off, I love your music.
Second, I love your comical personality, 'You know what, Cereal is good' hahaha. You're so much fun.
Third, this review rocks, thanks so much
THANK YOU NINA!!! Glad this was helpful!
Great video and brilliant product (any of the three), but where is the support for Nikon and Canon? With by far he biggest (close to 80-90%) DSLR market shares in both Japan, Europe and US, Nikon & Canon seems to be oddly completely overlooked by Zhiyun.
Thanks for watching! There is support for Canon. Not sure about Nikki though
Hey great video! I was wondering if you knew anything about the Crane 2 having the features that the Crane Plus has?? (Particularly the POV mode and the Nightlapse mode) because the crane 2 looks like the better option for myself as it's able to hold a heavyer payload ect (I'm a Canon user and my main cameras are the 5D Mark IV and the 1D X Mark II). But those features on the Crane Plus are awesome and It'd be great if they are on the Crane 2! So are they? is there a way to recreate them if they aren't?
POV mode is on the Crane 2. Not sure about Nightlapse mode though. Thanks for watching man!
Thanks man for this! 👍
Thanks for watching!
Zhiyin Crane V2 for me please. Thanks for the side-by-side comparison!
Thanks so much for watching!!
I have a canon rebel sl2 using the normal kit lens included. Would this be too heavy for the crane v2 please help
No, it should work fine
Hey! Great video. What would you recommend I have a canon 70D body and the two lenses I use are a 50mm lens and the canon 18 to 135 mm STM. I also have a rode mic which I use occasionally as well. Would the plus be fine or would I need to get the 2?
The Crane 2 would definitely work, but I also think the Crane Plus would work too!
I feel like I'm watching a Peter Mckinnon video. Like I can hear him through your voice.
LOL. If I had a dime...
Why not try FeiyuTech AK2000? It you try, you will buy it is better than crane.
Not a fan of Feiyu gimbals
Hello ... The tracking function only works for the crane 2? Thanks
Crane Plus too!
Does the follow focus work with the BMPCC4K?
Subscribed because of your energy and the cake❤️😂, I want to get the crane plus but i do have a problem, i have canon 700D, and sigma 18-35, but the 700D sucks in auto focus, how can i get my shots in focus, of course it's impossible to do manual focus while holding the gimbal, so should i upgrade the body first?
Thanks for subscribing! For your Canon, I would go old school and set your aperture to f/8 and your focus to infinity so that everything looks fairly focused. Hope this helps!
Sidney Diongzon thankss❤️❤️
Sidney, great video!
Thanks so much Timothy!
Do you feel that the dual handle grip is a "must have"?
Not really, but it definitely helps control the gimbal! My next video about using the dual handles so stay tuned for that!
Thank you so much! I will hold off on purchasing one. I have the V2 and I don't have too much trouble with stabilization since I have the 10-18 lens with image stabilization. I love your channel!
When upgrade for CRANE 2 support exposure control in sony A7III ????????? Sony, Zhiyun wake uppp.
I think you can control all that on the app
i got the crane 2 a few weeks ago.. unfortunately i figured out that my camera setup is maybe too light for the gimbal (using a sony 6300 with a 35mm or 16-55mm most of the time).. do you think a quick release plate could solve my problem or should I sell the crane 2 and buy the v2 instead? thank you for your help!
You might be able to change the motor strength setting to “Light” in the menu. Hopefully that should help. If not, then yeah adding more weight to the camera like a quick release plate or mic would work. Honestly, I would get the Zhiyun Weebill S instead if you can sell the Crane 2
@@SidneyDiongzon thanks so much for your help!!
So i should go for the v2 with my small dslr Canon SL2/200D then right?
My setup with the cam, røde stereo mic and canon 10-18 wide angle lens weighs 900g/1.9pounds.
Got no interest of getting a bigger cam in a few years =)
Never had a gimbal before...
Found a few used for around 410-430$
Love the video, keep up the good work
That might be pushing it for the v2. I would go for the Crane Plus.
Was hoping you could help. Trying to decide which gimbal for a Sony A6300 with a 18-105 and also I have a RX100v5. Which should i get?
The Crane v2 should be able to handle that!
Sidney Diongzon What about the crane plus?
Can we use crane plus to balane a6300 with tamron 28-75 f2.8?
Maybe. I haven’t tried that combo specifically
I really enjoyed this video
Which one would you recommend for a panasonic g85?
and maybe in the future for a sony ax7iii
THanks!
Looking for the ans for this... Picking up a G85 next week and I'm confused with what gimbal I should go for...
They should come up with more confusing model names
LOL!
Just came across your channel and hey that was Claremont!! Love that area
I love Claremont too!
i'm using a6300 with sigma 30mm 1.4 and attached the microphone also my phone as the monitor, so should i go with crane plus (it's can handle this weight?)
Sounds about right!! Get it!!
@@SidneyDiongzon thank
Awesome video Sidney, super helpful. just wondering what you think would be the cheapest one that could handle a Canon 5d mark iii?
Probably the Crane Plus as long as your use a light lens. Hope this helps!
Awesome, thankyou!
Crane plus, can it handle a nikon d750 with 35 1.4 art?
Probably!
I like your sense of humor
Great video. You just helped me decide on which one to get. You even made me laugh a few times. I hope you found some good cake 😋
I have fuji xt20 with 35 mm lens, which one is better for me?
Probably the Crane Plus!
Based on this video, it really seems like the Crane 2 is the best one. I shoot with a GH3 (I've had it for a long time) and when I'm ready to get a new camera I'll probably get a Sony. Seems like the V2 can handle all that...but I feel like it may be worth it to spend the extra money on the Crane 2, especially since at work I'm shooting with 5D's. Do you agree?
I totally agree! But Zhiyun just announced 3 NEW GIMBALS, so stay tuned for that!
I'm here, a year later, and unlike *some* comments I read, I support your passion for cake.
You do you. It's fun, it's exciting, and it's different.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching!
Dude first video of yours ive ever seen. Instant sub. Glad im here at 78k bro, youll be at a million in NO time. Incredible video, great song selection for b roll, great fonts. Checked all the boxes for cinematic tutorials man. That intro, short,sweet, and straight to the point. Seriously, keep up the great work man. Getting the crane plus after seeing this!
Thank you so much for subscribing! Means a lot to me!
I liked your review and gave you a thumbs up. Can i just ask is it possible to program a pan or movement and then play it back on the V2 model using the app ?
Doesn’t work for the v2
But in your video you showed and mentioned the V2 can work wirelessly with bluetooth right ? That works ? And how far away are you able to control from ?
Great video Sidney. Thanks for the info. Crane 2 it is then. 🤓
Awesome!! Great choice!
Okay so as a filmmaker I need this for a camera and swear zoom Angles and zooming in and out and also like going around a person catching great detail with smooth filming which one ?
Also... I'll be using a green screen
You don’t “need” it but it is helpful to create smooth shots
I have a sony a6300. Which is the best choice: Crane 2 or Crane V2 or Crane Plus? Are any of these models specific for sony camera?
All will work well
which gimbal suits my canon EOS M50?? can crane 2 focus wheel controls the M50??
I don’t think the Crane 2 can control the focus, but I would definitely say the Crane Plus would suit you more!
say hello to your new subscriber *subbed* love from vancouver i’m looking for a new crane thanks!!
Thanks so much for subscribing! I hope to visit Vancouver one of these days!
(ig: louluboo) let me know when you come thru and we'll shoot i'll take u around :D
i'm back to watching this again! i just got a canon sl2 so i'm looking to get a crane v2 thanks for helping me decide!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Wanna load up my Sony a6500 with the 18-105mm lens, but don't want a heavy stabilizer. What is the best option? Thx
I got a question, you said V2 is easy to setup, so is it means crane plus and crane 2 is difficult for beginner? I only have experience on using DJI osmo, is it good enough for handling crane plus or 2??
They’re all easy to setup!
another question, while i search best gimbal for A6500, crane plus always pop out, so if I choose to buy crane 2 is it wrong??
No not at all! The Crane 2 is just a stronger gimbal
Sidney I have a canon 77d with tamron 17-50mm 2.8 lens. Can I use the Crane Plus? 😊
Yep
@@SidneyDiongzon thank you! 😊🙏🏼
LOVE this video.....and love your senseability....made me laugh quite a few times....and thanks for helping me choose which gimbal to get....
Awesome! Glad this was helpful!
I know that you got some hate for your comedy but I actually think that you're really entertaining and your review was helpful too!
Haha, I don't mind LOL. I just like being goofy regardless of what people say
Thank you for not smothering your review with future bass, over produced story, and for keeping the humor to a minimum (it’s about the product).
Short video and Awesome 👏 comparison!
Thanks so much for watching!!
I want a cheaper, lighter stabilizer. Do you have any better recommendations?
