    • WATCH and CHECK the weight and WEIGHT CAP for cameras
I bought this gimbal to make videos sturdier obviously but not knowing its cap weight and that my camera with a bigger lens and attachments are just too heavy to use it for. I am currently limited to a plastic 24-70mm lens for my SONY A7C as it has a plastic casing for the lens and one of the smallest lenses as a kit lens. I'm not exactly sure what the weight is on my camera but I know that it can't be too heavy for it is a smaller and compact camera comparing to the A7III the bigger brother camera. The gimbal does work excellent and don't get me wrong its great for stabilizing footage, but the weight capacity might be a deal breaker if you have a camera just a little bigger than average size/weight. ... show more

Before I begin, I want to emphasize that this review is more a critique of non-proprietary gimbal systems than it is of the Zhiyun specifically. Prior to switching to a RX100 + Zhiyun M2 setup, I was using a GoPro with GoPro's Karma Gimbal and I had totally taken for granted the sort of conveniences a proprietary all-in-one system can offer. So when I switched to my new setup, I was very disappointed to realize that the Gimbal itself has no means to actually control the camera unless you either plug it in (simply not an option without some weird right angle adapters or other jerry-rigged solution) or the bluetooth/wifi configuration. The latter works OK but is far from perfect. There is a delay on boot-up as the camera has to re-connect and of course the actual power of the camera can not be controlled by the Gimbal so you still have to turn it on manually. The battery life is way worse using this bluetooth remote crap too. That aside, the Zhiyun M2 seems to be a good gimbal. It's smooth, intuitive, and comes with a host of actually usable features that actually work (like the Selfie Mode, Pan Follow, POV, etc...). Battery life is also great. However, I will be returning mine. This isn't the solution I was looking for. I'd rather just use a plastic tripod or Sony's vertical vlogging grip. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. I am not a big fan of big gimbals. Since all my cameras are Sony Mirrorless, I wanted gimbals that can be light and still able to handle my A7III cameras. Got the Crane M2 to try it out. I have been using it for about 2 weeks, I do have to the M2 gimbal is tiny, compare to other gimbals out there. The M2 itself only weights about 1lb 2oz. This is including battery and everything!!! The compact size is amazing, and its able to support cell phones, action cameras and mirrorless cameras. On the zhiyun's website only shows it supporting Sony A6xxx mirrorless cameras. Didn't mention anything about A7 cameras, I have decided to give it a try. I used an A7III + 28mm 2.8 lens, weights roughly about 1.8lb. To my surprise the Crane M2 is able to handle its weight, and balanced with no problem at all. But I don't think its able to handle any larger lenses. The size is making a big difference for me, I am able to travel with it, and just slip it into my carry on bags and etc. With no problems at all. There are some things, I am limited with the M2. There is limited clearance space for the A7III camera, so I am not able to make certain movements. For example, I am not able to perform the inception shot. Since the back doesn't have enough space for the A7III camera body. Which is not a huge deal, I just have to work around it. Also the gimbal is mostly made up of plastic parts, which results in the light weight. One thing I really wish they have on the M2 is the axis locks. Now-a-days most of the newer gimbals all have 3 axis locks on them. Which makes balancing the gimbal so much easier, and fast!!! But on unfortunately the Crane M2 doesn't have the axis locks. Hoping Zhiyun will improve that on their next version. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. Zhiyun CRANE-M2 is an "all-in-one" gimbal which works for smartphones, action cameras, point-and-shoot cameras, and mirrorless cameras (with light lens). The max payload is 720g (1.58lb) and the gimbal itself weights only ~500g (fairly easy to carry around). I use it mainly for family/travel videos and I enjoy how it improves my experience in video making. The gimbal is compact in size. It can be folded when not in use (with locking mechanism so it won't move around). When folded, it occupies smaller space than Zhiyun's entry level gimbals such as Smooth Q and Smooth 4. It has a built-in 1100mAh battery and works up to 7 hours per charge. It's charged through USB-C port (microUSB to USB-C cable included) and there is an extra microUSB port near mounting point which can be used to charge device in use. A case and tripod are also included in the package. Setup is a bit different comparing to regular smartphone gimbals but not too hard to learn. Cameras are secured onto the mount with the included 1/4 inch screw (smartphone clamp mount is included; for action camera, extra accessory might be needed). Proper weight-balancing on all 3 axis is required for best performance. So far I have tried mounting smartphones (Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 2, iPhone X), action cameras (Yi camera, GoPro Hero 5 Black; with 1/4 inch adapter), mirror-less (Canon M3 with EF-M 22mm lens; PANASONIC GX85 with 12-32mm Lens) and Crane M2 worked well stabilizing recordings on all of them. Crane M2 provides several modes, including basic PF/F/L modes and advance POV/vortex/GO (fast follow) modes. More customized controls can be achieved by linking it to ZY Play app and supported cameras (Zoom controls, on gimbal start/stop recording..etc). The result is satisfying and I can get a decent stabilized video when filming fast-moving objects (utilizing GO mode). Vortex mode makes taking 360° rotation video easy without tedious preparation. Crane M2 has become my go-to gimbal these days as it works well with various types of cameras. ... show more

    • Sony A6400 users
I use a A6400 and have a 18-135mm lens on it and it was way to heavy for this gimbal. I feel if I had a 25 or 50mm lens it might would work, but any lens bigger than that won't work. I even had problems using my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra on it. Made it work but a real struggle. This just didn't work with the gear I had. It can be a good gimbal for very small cameras. ... show more
