most compact mirrorless gimbal ever!!

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I am not a big fan of big gimbals. Since all my cameras are Sony Mirrorless, I wanted gimbals that can be light and still able to handle my A7III cameras. Got the Crane M2 to try it out.

I have been using it for about 2 weeks, I do have to the M2 gimbal is tiny, compare to other gimbals out there.
The M2 itself only weights about 1lb 2oz. This is including battery and everything!!! The compact size is amazing, and its able to support cell phones, action cameras and mirrorless cameras. On the zhiyun's website only shows it supporting Sony A6xxx mirrorless cameras. Didn't mention anything about A7 cameras, I have decided to give it a try. I used an A7III + 28mm 2.8 lens, weights roughly about 1.8lb. To my surprise the Crane M2 is able to handle its weight, and balanced with no problem at all. But I don't think its able to handle any larger lenses. The size is making a big difference for me, I am able to travel with it, and just slip it into my carry on bags and etc. With no problems at all.

There are some things, I am limited with the M2. There is limited clearance space for the A7III camera, so I am not able to make certain movements. For example, I am not able to perform the inception shot. Since the back doesn't have enough space for the A7III camera body. Which is not a huge deal, I just have to work around it. Also the gimbal is mostly made up of plastic parts, which results in the light weight. One thing I really wish they have on the M2 is the axis locks. Now-a-days most of the newer gimbals all have 3 axis locks on them. Which makes balancing the gimbal so much easier, and fast!!! But on unfortunately the Crane M2 doesn't have the axis locks. Hoping Zhiyun will improve that on their next version.

Before I begin, I want to emphasize that this review is more a critique of non-proprietary gimbal systems than it is of the Zhiyun specifically. Prior to switching to a RX100 + Zhiyun M2 setup, I was using a GoPro with GoPro's Karma Gimbal and I had totally taken for granted the sort of conveniences a proprietary all-in-one system can offer. So when I switched to my new setup, I was very disappointed to realize that the Gimbal itself has no means to actually control the camera unless you either plug it in (simply not an option without some weird right angle adapters or other jerry-rigged solution) or the bluetooth/wifi configuration. The latter works OK but is far from perfect. There is a delay on boot-up as the camera has to re-connect and of course the actual power of the camera can not be controlled by the Gimbal so you still have to turn it on manually. The battery life is way worse using this bluetooth remote crap too.

That aside, the Zhiyun M2 seems to be a good gimbal. It's smooth, intuitive, and comes with a host of actually usable features that actually work (like the Selfie Mode, Pan Follow, POV, etc...). Battery life is also great.

However, I will be returning mine. This isn't the solution I was looking for. I'd rather just use a plastic tripod or Sony's vertical vlogging grip.

Easy To Balance - Very Long Battery Life - Solid Build Quality - Works with my mirrorless camera

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2019

Verified PurchaseEarly Reviewer Rewards(What's this?)

The media could not be loaded.

The Zhiyun Crane M2 can work with multiple devices - it comes with a cell phone mount that works with my Apple iPhone XS. I mainly use it to do work with my Fujifilm cameras. There’s a quick release plate that lets you quickly remove the camera to change batteries and then put it right back without needing to rebalance the gimbal.

It has 4 modes: Pan Follow (PF), Follow (F), Lock (L), and Point Of View (POV). I mainly use Pan Follow for my work. POV is new and all axis’ are unlocked so you can use the full 360* of movement.

There’s also an option to connect to your phone which I don’t use much.

I owned the original Crane M when gimbals just started getting popular and the M2 is even more compact. Having the display to show battery life and go through menu options, such as setting motor strength is convenient.

They include a tripod in the package as well which is a nice bonus and it connects to the bottom of the gimbal.

This was a nice upgrade for me and I will have to spend some more time exploring using the POV mode for shots.

Zhiyun makes great products at a great price and if you’re going to use this for professional work it will get the job done.

Excelente estabilizador para comenzar

Reviewed in Mexico on December 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

Observaciones en cuanto el producto
- Buen estabilizador, lo mejor es su versatilidad por se compatible con cámaras de acción, cámaras y celulares.
- Hasta el momento sólo lo he probado con celulares, cuesta un poco balancearlo.
- Desde mi punto de vista el grosor de algunos tornillos es muy grueso. Esto perjudica especialmente si llegaste al límite del ajuste, y cuando estás realizando las tomas topan los tornillos con la base del estabilizador.

Best for Sony zv1

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2021

Verified Purchase

I was skeptical about purchasing this but after a view YouTube videos I decided to get it and I do not regret it one bit. This has made a HUGE difference. The Sony Zv1 does not have good stabilization even with active mode. With this device the footage is much smoother with no shakiness. I can confirm I use the wide angle lens and the rode mic on top. You just have to get used to the set up procedure which can take a while to adjust but other than that it is great!

Le stabilisateur idéal pour smartphone avec grand angle

Reviewed in France on March 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

je cherchais un stabilisateur pour smartphone avec la possibilité de pouvoir utiliser un grand angle sans avoir le moteur dans le champs de la caméra. Et bien j'ai trouvé... j'utilise un XIAOMI MI8 équipé d'une lentille anamorphique 1.33 G2 de chez ULANZI ainsi qu'un grand angle de chez PIXTER. Pour la mise en route rien de bien compliqué mais il faudra être patient pour pouvoir faire l'équilibrage et j'ai du regarder plusieurs tutos sur YOUTUBE pour bien comprendre, une fois la technique acquise le stabilisateur et relativement simple d'utilisation.J'ai eu quelques problèmes au début pour appairé le Bluetooth, mais après quelques mises à jour tout est rentré dans l'ordre. A savoir mon smartphone ne fait pas parti de la liste compatible avec le crane M2, pourtant cela fonctionne. Intéressant aussi j'ai une caméra d'action SJCAM 7star que je peux piloter a distance avec ce stabilisateur , j'ai pas le retour vidéo mais les fonctions à distance via le smartphone fonctionnent bien. On a une bonne prose en main il est relativement léger et les moteurs répondent très bien à toutes les actions demandées même quand on inverse les mouvements.J'avais auparavant un DJI OSMO MOBILE 2 , que j'aimais bien uniquement pour réaliser des photos panoramique en 15 photos, fonction qui n'existe pas sur ce CRANE, max 9 photos, j'utilisais aussi un zhiyun SMOOTH Q2 mais lui était trop sensible au poids du téléphone et avait trop tendance à décrocher. Je recommande ce produit 3 en 1 qui est compatible avec les petits APN et Hybrides (voir la liste des marques compatibles) compatible avec les smartphones, et les caméras d'action type GOPRO et SJCAM (voir la liste des appareils compatibles) Facile à transporter, se lock facilement...excellent produit pour un bon rapport qualité prix, fonctionne avec l'application ZY PLAY et compatible IOS et ANDROID.

Tenemos en la empresa un gimbal que compramos de esta misma marca hace unos meses y lo hemos estado usando para poder hacer videos que luego estamos subiendo a internet y lo estábamos usando con el móvil. Ahora hemos comprado este porque hemos adquirido una cámara sin espejo que es la que vamos a empezar a usar par los mismo y viendo le buen resultado que nos ha dado el anterior hemos comprado este que es un 3 en uno. Es un 3 en 1 porque nos permite usar la gopro, el móvil y la nueva cámara para poder hacer los videos. Este modelo es mucho más completo que el anterior y nos permite realizar muchas más funciones que hacer más profesionales nuestros videos.
Este tiene muchos más botones y el Gimbal es mucho más compacto y pequeño, da le sensación de no poder con la las cámaras mas grandes pero funciona a las mil maravillas. Es más pequeño pero pesa un poquillo, asi que tendremos que acostumbrarnos al principio al peso para que no se nos canse el brazo.
Los botones están muy bien colocados se puede acceder a los mismos con mucha facilidad, como muy útil cuando estamos haciendo videos porque sin detener la grabación nos permite pasar de un modo al otro y así no tener que estar haciendo pausas y editando tanto rato luego en le pc. En la parte delantera además hay un gatillo que no permite poder bloquear la cámara para cambiar de modo, y estando en esta posición es mucho mas sencillo que estas con le dedo gordo buscando la función. Luego también tenemos carias funciones que podemos activar cuando vinculamos la cámara con el gimbal para poder hacer zoom por ejemplo o hacer fotos sin tener que soltarlo e iniciar grabaciones etc. Y además de todo esto tiene una pantalla en el centro para poder configurar mejor los menús con la ruleta multifunción. Esta se me ha soltado un par de veces, no se si es porque se puede soltar para alguna función que desconozco, pero la pegaré y asi me evito perderla. En conclusión un menú muy muy completo.
También tiene un función bloqueo que es muy buena que permute dejar fijo le brazo móvil para entrar que se mueva como loco cuando no lo estamos usando, cosa que otros gimbal no hace. Y otra cosa que me ha gustado mucho es que podemos dejar fijada la posición donde tenemos estabilizado el gimbal de tal manera que cuando no lo usamos lo podemos dejar fijo y cuando lo queremos usar, rápidamente ponemos la cámara en posición, lo encendemos y se pone a funcionar ya equilibrado.
En cuanto a la batería la autonomía esta mas que bien, hace runas 7 horas de funcionamiento continuo, aunque yo nunca lo he estrujado tanto porque lo he necesitado cargar antes de que se quedara a 0. Tarda en cargar unas 2 horas con un cargador de 2mah.

--Lo que mas me gusta:
El tamaño porque es muy compacto.
Lo brazos del gimbal que son de metal.
Los tornillos de ajuste que nos permitir hacer un equilibrado muy preciso de la cámara por lo que ahorraremos bateria y podremos trabajar mucho mas tiempo.
Los 7 modos de trabajo que tiene que podremos ver en la pantalla del gimbal.

--No me gusta:
Que el manual no es muy extenso, pero lo buen es que viene en muchos idiomas.

Esto es sin duda una herramienta espectacular para hacer que tus videos se vean con una calidad como nunca te imaginaste y si ya le sumas un programa de edición... es inmejorable.
