Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hands down the best bang for buck out there. I’ve owned a couple other more expensive DSLR stabilizers but this has been as good if not better when it comes to performance. Not to mention I put this in my backpack with no case and it survived 2 weeks of trekking in Thailand and still works like new (built pretty solid).

Very great product and affordable price!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As my photography business grows, more professional style videos are in demand... The Zhiyun Crane is a great value while giving professional results... It's not an intuitive device so practice is a must...

With a canon 80d this setup is over 5 pounds and using it with one had after a few minutes is unbearable. But it is really nice, just not for me.

I wanted a gamble that I could start on and it does its justice, I had to order a final piece separate which does not fit into the travel box but other than that its a great addition.

This works well for what i need. Videography with subtle Frame Rates. It is pretty slow to maneuver or re-calibrate if you're looking for something a little more responsive for faster more action oriented shots.

This was the first gimbal i’ve owned for a mirrorless camera. Takes a bit getting used to with the ergonomics and such, but does what it’s supposed to do. Stabilize to create that cinematic look;)

Setup & balancing can be challenging. The battery was fully charged but kept turning off in the middle of video.

I needed the weight capacity of the Crane 2 because my camera is close to the limit of the V2. If I were to add a lens, mic, etc. I get pretty close to the limit.

Nice but cant put big lens on. It Only hold small Lensd with Sony camera like the biggest would b the Sony 16-35 f4. If u want proper balance

Great. Love it. It’s great when the weight is counter balanced. My arms have gotten bulkier over the last 3 years. Can’t wait to upgrade! Thanks guys

This is an amazing product. I recommend anyone wishing to purchase this to make sure your camera is compatible. I had to return it because my camera was to light and wouldn't work. It does work amazing on other cameras though.

This device would likely be good for small cameras, but not a full size DSLR. Despite being within weight rating, this device really struggled to support my camera and would also not move in all directions due to the camera size being too big and it hitting. Also, this is NOT NIKON COMPATIBLE despite what the box may say. The app and programs do not support Nikon and there is also no cable for Nikon even available. I ended up returning the item and will save for a more robust one.

Not compatible and was unable to hold the weight of my current equipment but highly recommend for smaller equipment.

Cool product, really good for cinematic pans and overhead shots. Kind of obsolete as there is a new version, but I've heard this version is more ergonomic for most hands.

Nice but not so nice I returned this and purchased the DJi brand which is lighter

I use my Zhiyun Crane with my Sony A6300 and the quality of the videos I shoot has drastically improved because of how stable my shots are! Definitely worth it to improve as a filmmaker!

Heavy, Hard to use, Always a pain... Literally it is the biggest pain in the butt to set up.

Just bought it recently and love it so far but only thing is I’m having battery issues and have to contact the manufacturer which is a little hard

This works awesome with the Sony A6000...little tricky to get it right camera does not weigh much. Watch a few youtube videos for this gimbal, you will be rolling in a minute!
