Love it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know much about cameras or photography, but for beginners like myself is the best handheld stabilizer I could buy and try at the same time, I really recommend it if you trying to buy an stabilizer and you are not sure what to get for your kind of camera, mine is a CANON EOS REBEL SL1, and works just perfect.

Solid Performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is without a doubt an improvement over its predecessor, the build quality, battery life and how much easier it is to balance this one makes it a keeper. The size increase is a welcomed plus in my opinion I believe the added weight helps me get slightly more stable footage without giving me arm fatigue. I do wish they took a page out of ronins book and kept the motor out of the way of the screen, thats an issue from time to time for we Sony shooters, but all in all I think its a great addition to my arsenal and I'm mostly pleased with my purchase.

None Better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Crane 2 is very practical and easy to use once you get a little practice under your belt. It provides smooth footage for mirrorless cameras that I use like the XT-3 and the A73. I was surprised that it was able to work with bigger GM lenses from Sony which was pretty sweet.

Nice gimbal
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great gimbal for a full size camera. No problems so far. Battery life is great. Bought extra batteries but never really needed them. Setup was simple. Firmware update wasn't too complicated.

Smooth Images Delivered
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I rented this gimbal for a video shoot on a boat... I wasn't sure how it was going to do with all of the rocking back-and-forth but it produced insanely smooth video footage. I was so impressed I decided to buy my own! If you have a heavier camera/lens combo this is a wonderful gimbal choice with tons of features (if you have a lighter camera you might be better off with a cheaper gimbal option). One more thing to keep in mind - the gimbal has some great camera control features, but check Zhiyun's website for details to make sure you know what will and won't work with your camera (for example, with my Panasonic G7 I can start/stop recording from the gimbal but not control focus).

Great quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this thing so far. The build quality is fantastic and it works great with my Sony A7 III. The only down side is that camera control features are limited with Sony. There are some hacks to set it up using a diff cable (included) and selecting Canon. This gets you some camera controls but with sacrificing ability to take both pics AND video using the buttons. When plugging in your Sony camera, I can't get the gimbal to stop charging the camera. I turned off setting in Camera (usb power), but the camera still drains the gimbal battery.
