Zhiyun Crane 2s

The Zhiyun Crane 2S was a straight-up gamechanger for me after a year of shooting handheld and struggling to keep things smooth. It’s a beast with a ton of power and a super dope design, and I genuinely put it in my top 3 gimbals ever made—maybe even my favorite.

Pros

  • +Super smooth footage that instantly improves run-and-gun shots
  • +Powerful motors that feel built for real rigs
  • +Design feels premium and well thought-out
  • +Major workflow upgrade compared to handheld

Cons

  • -Bigger, more “beast” style gimbal—can be more to carry for long days
  • -Requires balancing time like any serious gimbal

What Preston Chen says

0 which is really good if you're balancing and you have to lock the axes so this is a really good keep feature if you're a running gun it's really good because you could store it in your backpack without it dangling around or anything so this is a really good key feature so the seventh key feature is it has a really good payload it maximized it it could feel like 1dx mark 2s or 3s black magic 6k which is really good for this particular gimbal it's like the same size as a ronin-s and it could hold a black magic 6k or 4k with the sigma 18 to 35 which is a really heavy setup and a pretty long one so that's a really good feature so the eighth key feature it has is stronger motors and it's way better for like the heavier cameras like the 1dx blackmagic and this gives it way more stability there's a ton more but i don't want to really dive into it since it's a short video so now let's talk about the modes and design so there are six modes now the first one is pan follow the second one is follow the third one is locking and the fourth one is full range pov the fifth one is vortex and the sixth is go mode so the second one is that it has panorama time lapse motion lapse and long exposure and this is really good if you're taking time lapses or anything so that's a really good key feature so the third is that it has a black and gold design and this color scheme is like one of my favorites and this gimbal just looks so good with the black and gold design i personally love it also has a carbon fiber grip like i said before and the fall focus is way better the fourth is it has really good for quick setups it has quick release plates now and you can switch between the gimbal and the manfrotto type release but i personally don't really like use that and i just put one of my favorite accessories is the condor blue quick release plate so the final one is it has vertical shooting yes vertical shooting and although like i think the moza aircraft 2 had this now the zhiyun crane 2s has this and this is really good for like instagram videos which i'll use and vertical videos just in general for social media and all that stuff so now let's talk about the things i like about this gimbal and don't like about this gimbal so the first one is it's a bit harder to balance but for this gimbal it's really good for balancing it's a really quick setup and all that stuff but this gimbal is pretty easy to set up and with the locking mechanisms it just outperforms all gimbals so the second one is it is a very very smooth and it just really outperforms every other gimbal like the ronin-s or the ronin sc all the stuff it's really smooth it doesn't give that up and down movement or side to side just really smooth in general so the third one is it's basically a tank it could carry heavy ass cameras and that's a really good feature that like ronin-s can't even do so there are a ton of more good stuff about this gimbal but i don't want to dive into it because i don't want to talk here for like several hours i could but like it's gonna bore you guys and yeah okay so now let's talk about the cons of this gimbal i didn't have much to say about this but here are my cons that are kind of cons but i don't know so the first one is it's a bit heavier than i thought but it's not like as heavy as like a crane 3s but it's pretty heavy i thought it was going to be something like a weeble s but a bit more heavier and the second one is it's a bit bigger than i thought but it still fits in my camera backpack perfectly with the tripod and without so that's a really good feature i like about this but it's kind of a con but yeah the third is the motor this is the biggest problem everyone's been talking about but gladly you could fix it by screwing out some screws and just replacing the motors and you could see the screen but i just leave it there because i have a flip out screen and i just see more easily than you using sony so now i'm gonna show you test footage of me walking with the gimbal and yeah i'll show you every mode the gimbal has and some time lapses let's get it [Music] so so those were the gimbal modes and let me know if you were impressed about these gimbal modes or not so now i'm going to talk about my overview and what i really recommend it to you guys so here's my honest opinions first it's so smooth like it's really smooth i can't keep saying how smooth it is like when you run it's super smooth and when you walk it's smooth and you don't have to do ninja walk or anything which a lot of gimbal people do but you really don't have to do this because this gimbal just like removes all the step up and down stuff i just think that this gimbal is the perfect gimbal in 2020 like there is there hasn't been any gimbals that been out that are better than design crane to us right now yo what is good everybody so today is october 15th it's a thursday and yesterday midnight dji just released their new gimbal and it's the ronin s but like an upgraded version and i said that the zhiyun gimbal design crane 2s is the best gimbal out in 2020 but i can say that the zhiyun crane 2s is the top three gimbal because i don't want the dji fanboys hating on me so i'm just going to say the zhiyun queen 2s is part of the top three categories of the newly released gimbals in 2020 and yeah back to the video this gimbal is the perfect size for every filmmaker and videographer because it's in the really big tank side of the crane 3s and the small weeble s so this is the perfect size for every videographer and filmmaker so that's like my overview and yes i would totally recommend this product to you guys if you want one you can pick one up in the link in the description so that's about it for this video i hope you learned something new and got a clear understanding about the zion crane 2s and yeah i hope you enjoyed this video if you did feel free to drop a like a comment a subscribe or even share the video that would mean a lot and yeah keep creating
