ZHIYUN Crane M2 [Official] 4 in 1 Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone, Action Camera, Gopro and Mirrorless Camera

Product Information

I struggled to connect the gimbal to my camera, which may be due to my camera's connection more so than the gimbal itself; however, that meant I was not able to start recording by using the start button on the gimbal grip.

Bluetooth connectivity allows you to capture footage and zoom in and out using the controls on the gimbal’s handle.Effective image-stabilisation is a big selling point in smartphones and action cameras these days but nothing quite beats the fluidity and professional look that a motorized gimbal can bring to your video. An OLED display on the gimbal confirms the selected operation mode, battery level, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi status, and other functions. Having held heavier gimbals, I know how tiring it can become, but this one was very lightweight to use and to hold. Zhiyun CRANE-M2, with unprecedented all-in-one design, offers great compatibility to multiple devices, such as compact cameras, light mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and action cameras.

But, even during the most crucial moments of setting up, the tutorial would quickly rush past it or not show a close-up of the action at all. We've been using a full production version of this 120 fps sports camera, to see what you gain (and, perhaps, lose). The Sony a9 III is the world's first full-frame mirrorless camera to feature a global electronic shutter with simultaneous readout. It is worth remembering, however, that you’ll still get better image quality overall if you use the Crane-M2.If you’re new to gimbals, the Crane-M2’s setup process might take a little while to get your head around; it’s certainly not as simple as the DJI Osmo or one of Zhiyun’s more basic gimbals to get started with. The CRANE-M2 offers 360 pan, 310 tilt, and 324 roll rotation across six modes of operation, including POV and Vortex modes. The Zhiyun Crane M2 S is a small and portable gimbal with only 549g net weight, as large as a bottle, it also has the portability of the Crane M2 and the tech from the Crane M3. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

Adopting a WiFi-and-Bluetooth control module, Crane M2 allows you to control your camera wirelessly through the gimbal handle. The mobile app works well with most smartphones and point-and-shoot cameras but in some cases doesn’t connect. Then you have POV (point of view), where you control all movements of the camera with the handle – pan, tilt and even roll. There’s even a tiny monochrome OLED display for accessing the gimbal’s various settings and displaying which of the various different shooting modes is in operation currently.Not very effective: Using a GoPro Hero7 Black with internal Hypersmooth stabilization in combination with the gimbal doesn’t improve the stability or smoothness of the shots. As someone who is by no means attempting to get into professional videography, I did want something that can help make my personal video or photography tutorials footage more dynamic, and I can see this gimbal doing just that. This aside, the CRANE-M2 provides the standard features that have made gimbals such a revolutionary addition to the world of camera supports. The Fujifilm XF 23mm F2 R WR delivers a 35mm full-frame equivalent field of view and stands out due to its small size and weather-resistant build. CRANE-M2 features a unique locking pin and latch design to prevent the axes from swinging around during travel.
