Handheld Gimbal 3-Axis Stabiliser
The Crane 2 from Zhiyun-Tech is a 3-axis gimbal stabiliser with a max. payload of 3.2kg, making it suitable for use with both DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Featuring a follow focus wheel on the body, the Crane 2 allows ±0.02° precision real time focus control through camera cable connection, so that you can always keep your subject in focus while moving.
Created using Zhiyun’s 6th Gen. Instune Algorithm System, the Crane 2 realises a 50% increase in motor torque and a 20% improvement in noise reduction. Integrated with the pioneering 32-bit x 3 high-speed MCU parallel control technology which realises 100% improvement in response speed, the Crane 2 gets high above the industry standard with its cutting-edge attitude compensation system and unparalleled anti-shaking stabilising performance.
Featuring an intuitive interface design, it's easy to identify the connection status, battery level, control mode and multiple camera parameters. The quick control dial on the control panel is like an integrated extension of your camera. You can either press or rotate the dial to various camera parameter settings such as TV, AV, ISO and EV, giving you seamless camera control independent from any software applications. Please note that the Crane 2's controllability to cameras may vary depending on the specific camera brand and model.
Easy-to-use, the Crane 2 requires just 1 min. to get it ready for shooting. By using a thumb screw mounting design, it allows instant manual mounting, dismounting and adjustment of camera anytime anywhere with no need of a screwdriver. Three high energy efficiency 18650 rechargeable batteries give the Crane 2 a maximum runtime of 18 hours with 6000mAh capacity. Meanwhile, the Crane 2 allows convenient real-time charging to the camera even when your camera is without batteries.
