Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall I liked this gimbal. It was a great option especially because it was on sale. I will say if you have a heavier camera, It did not make me feel comfortable. If you are working with the sony system and middle to small lens it should work perfectly.

This stabilizer is perfect for keeping the camera stable and making awesome videos. The effects of moving the camera around my subject without shaking allows for the video to look professional. Zhiyun - Crane 3- Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer is worth every penny.

This gimble works best with Sony cameras as it can control on/off video and snap pictures remotely with Sony cameras. It can also zoom the lens but was too quick with the kit lens. Nearly impossible to perfectly balance but does not seem to matter.

The Zhiyun - Crane 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer is must have if you are a professional Videographer. Easy to set-up and shots are impressive. The first time I used this crane was at a wedding. I have used this crane on my GH4 and A6300 and I have no regrets purchasing this product.

The setup part took the longest Once the camera finally gets balanced then its good but be prepared for a long setup if you're a first time user.I recently had a DJI OSMO, and it seemed more user friendly. It doesn't follow your shot as planned sometimes which gets frustrating but I am still learning to use it. Overall it's a great product and I would recommend to anyone that's looking to get more stable shots for their videos!!

I couldn’t balance my Canon vixia HG20 camcorder on it. So I replaced it with the Neewer 21”/60cm steadycam and countered the weight to get it balanced. Good well built product great for DLSR and mirrorless camera.

I bought first the DJI Ronin S but after not being able to balance it I went for the Crane V2. In my opinion it is perfect for this camera but it lacks the tripod needed to balance it so make sure to get it. Save yourself $200 an put it on a lens upgrade!

This is a great gimbal for a beginner, but it will take some getting used to, to create smooth footage. Balancing the camera properly is key, spend the time to practice and get familiar with it and you will love it.

how did I live life without one of these? I know they have made crazier, more expensive versions of this now, but at least do yourself this favor and buy one of these. I swear everything I shoot on this is gold. forget the old steadicams and get real.

Good product, not very specific on how to set it up and get it working properly but other than that it seems like a good quality product just needs more instructions.

Works really well and does great with the stabilization. Took me a couple hours to learn how to stabilize the first time but now only takes me about 3-5 minutes.

my brother and i are artists on a budget so we shoot all of our own videos. this stabilizer instantly made our amateur vids look like they were shot by pros. use youtube to look for tips and you're well on your way to getting the best out of the zhiyun crane.

Its a gimbal with a simple task of stabilizing a Camera. Zero complaints, does the job! This model does not come with a tripod, sadly. without one its kind of hard to balance the unit for adjustment. Get yourself a GOOD one!

Best purchase in few years makes getting a steady shot simple and easy.

I already recommended to a friend who went out and bought one as well. I was skeptical of Chinese design/make but its actually a quality piece of gear. Videos are next level using this thing.

For leisure I started doing videography/photography. This has thus far been a great investment in enhancing my creativity for quality and motion combined. People that have seen my videos love them, and the gimble plays a big role.

Does the job. It helps greatly with the shake and gives an abundance of shot types. I haven't touched my tripod since i got this. Wish i had this before i bought my slider or tripod.

It's a little tricky to get camera balanced for the first time user-- YouTube videos and patience were my best friends. But once you practice (a little), with balancing and shooting- it becomes super simple to use. Love this thing.

Sometimes it moves unexpectedly to “refocus” itself... which is annoying when you have a super good shot. It’s a noticeable move in the footage.

I got this to go with my newly purchased a6500. Great investment.
