Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works good with GH5, it's one handed gimbal so expect it to be heavy. Good build, feels premium, lasts long time.

THIS GIMBAL IS VERSION 2 since they dont let you know if which one it is. Easy to balance, easy to use with bigger cameras. It can hold my canon rp and 24-105mm f4 with the included lens extention. Battery life is insane. Buy it now especially if its on sale for $200 like it was last week when i got it. Making it the best gimbal you can buy right now.

Excellent! I use this for my Sony A7III with a 35mm lens for the most part and it works well. Only issue is though it says I meet the weight limit, sometimes it doesn’t act like it. It seems to sometimes drift out of nowhere which can really throw me off. It happens because the load is a bit heavy. If you are using this for your camera I would recommend to way below the weight limit it recommends.

The Zhiyun Crane is a beast. I own the Sony A6300 and with the crane my videos look 10x better. Only thing that took some adjustment was balanceing the lens. Every lens you put on you will have to balance the gimbal

Build quality is good. However, had to return it because it does not balance Canon XC10.

Easy to handle and operate. Balancing plate can be a little sticky at times, but once you use it a few times it’s gets better. Gets me great smooth And creative shots!

Easy to use. Great stability. But it was complicated to stabilize my camera manually at the beginning

Using for both my Sony A9 and A6300 camera. Works great with it. Stabilization is excellent. Videos come out looking very stable. Would buy again. The controls on the Zhiyun - Crane is easy to use and placed in the right position making it easier when needed to use. Wish that they included the USB cable to connect to the camera to control the video controlling on and off switch on the handle. Other than that it's a great product and yes, recommended!

This product usually come with an bottom section that has legs so you can stand it up. Mine did not have them. DO NOT BUY IT WITHOUT THIS. it is too hard to set up and balance without it. Also, you can't just set it down and pick it up without being very careful not to get it twisted the wrong way.

I have a larger DJI gimbal that I've used on many productions. I love how portable this one is for lightweight rigs. Does the job really well and all for a great price.

I purchased this to pair it up with my Canon 70D. I was just a tiny tad bit worried that it would be too heavy for the gimbal. I was wrong, although I was using a 50mm lens. It mounted very easily! Balancing is a bit of a frustration to get used to, but a couple youtube videos and I was straight on. I purchased this while it was 50% off and it was a great deal. Then I realized there was a pandemic going on and I just wasted money on something I wouldn't really put to use for another few months. So I returned it. I am a photojournalist for my local news station and I was able to use it very briefly for a couple shots of a skype interview and the stabilization was beautiful. I do plan on buying it again whenever all this blows over. Great gimbal (for the 50% off price). **Side note** The batteries are a little strange when it comes to charging. It takes a full 8+ hours to charge. When I popped them in to charge the blu led light that signifies it fully charged popped on. Which was weird because it was fresh out the box. I took them out and popped them back in. Then they were charging. This happened multiple times. But thats about my only gripe. Happy buying!

Right out of the gate i loved this thing! i watched a lot of videos and i really liked what i saw! biggest thing i would say is know that weight of your camera!!! i have a Lumix G7 and NOW it works great. The gimbal is ready for heavier cameras on first set up...but once you get the app for your phone, adjust the setting for a lighter camera...it will take away camera gitters and shakes!

Been using this stabilizer for the past few months now and it’s been amazing. Quick and easy to use this stabilizer gives me really smooth handheld footage

Great humble. Very smooth and video looks amazing. Easy to balance

A little pricy but it gets the shot and in the end that's the most important thing. Super smooth shots and not to difficult to balance the camera.

Great gimbal, and very easy to carry around with. I recommend anyone who is trying to save up or travels a lot to pick this up over a Ronin.

I was a little skeptical purchasing this because of the weight of my cameras and lenses. Once I got it all balanced and turned out I was able to figure it out within minutes. Obviously some pro's and con's like any product, however for the price I paid this is definitely a neat tool.

I use this on my A6300 which does not have stabilization. I am able to run alongside my dog and get smooth video. The price has come down significantly for a useable gimbal for light cameras. I have not tried this on my Sony full-frame camera.

It’s pretty tricky to balance and the battery charger is poorly made, cheap, and the batteries are proprietary so you’re stuck with the lousy charger- but otherwise the actual gimbal is well made and works pretty well so far!

The gimbal is easy to use, unpack, and pack up. I wish there was an easier indicator to show which mode you are in but it'll just be a matter of practicing with it. Amazing price for the product you are getting though.
