ZHIYUN Crane M2 [Official] 4 in 1 Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone, Action Camera, Gopro and Mirrorless Camera

Product Information

The new quick release plate works very well this definitely has a lot of nice design changes over the previous model. If you are approved you can complete your purchase immediately Representative example: Representative 19. The variety of modes is a welcome addition to the original Crane-M which was introduced almost three years ago.

With a sleek body and compact size, CRANE-M2 offers great comfort to your hand and unrivalled control over your camera. An OLED display on the gimbal confirms the selected operation mode, battery level, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi status, and other functions. The built-in fill light is integrated beside the camera plate, it features a CRI of 90+, 1000-lumen brightness, and five brightness levels, and it includes four interchangeable filters to change the colour temperature.Smaller, more lightweight, the CRANE-M2 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from Zhiyun-Tech is designed for compact cameras, smartphones, and action cams up to 1. As noted, before you purchase it, make sure you have thoroughly checked if your camera and lens combination will be supported by the gimbal. Lastly, it has an OLED display, which shows battery level, connection status, and your selected shooting mode. The POV mode follows all axis which means even if you tilt the gimbal sideways the gimbal is going to follow instead of staying leveled which can be useful for vlogging.

The Zhiyun Crane M2 S 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer features a quick release camera mounting system that lets you secure or remove your camera at the push of one lock button. There are others, too, including slow motion and panorama modes plus the ability to control the motion of the gimbal remotely from your phone’s touchscreen, if you have a mirrorless camera or action camera mounted – handy for reframing if you don’t fancy getting up from your chair continuously. Over a wired connection, the gimbal is able to power a supported camera and control its zoom, shutter, and video start/stop functions. I have been using the crane M2 for several weeks now and have been extremely pleased with its performance.

This is probably due to the compact design which would make it tricky to switch into an upside down mode without hitting the gimbal or camera on the side. Over built-in Wi-Fi, the gimbal is able to sync up with a Wi-Fi-enabled camera that supports remote zoom, shutter, and video start/stop control. Featuring a more easy-to-use quick setup system and smart lock design, as well as six creative operation modes, CRANE-M2 easily goes wherever you go and offers endless possibilities to your everyday creation. I'll probably smash it anyway but I might try it out again and see how long this piece of junk lasts.

Smooth video shots, instant response on movement, brilliant for "selfie" videos and could go on but, I have a gimbal that needs me 🙂. In fact even the previous version didn’t have any competition either, probably because the market for those compact cameras is constantly shrinking and not growing. This involves a rather fiddly process of sliding the gimbal’s three arms back and forth until the device is roughly balanced. Then you hit continue and, finally, go back to “smartphone mode”, select Motion Timelapse mode again and tap Start. One thing to make sure, check to see that you’ve screwed in the handle all the way, if it’s even loose by a hair it’ll turn off.It runs for approximately seven hours on a built-in battery that's rechargeable using an included micro-USB cable.
