Key features
Supports DSLR and mirrorless cameras upto 3.2Kg payload
Using three high-speed 32-bit micro controller units (mcu) running in parallel allows the stabiliser to support a hefty 3.2Kg payload, making it suitable for both dslr and mirrorless cameras with a wide range of lenses. An improved algorithm increases motor torque by 50% and reduces operational noise by 20% making the gimbal more powerful and versatile than any other on the market.
Follow focus wheel and mechanical follow focus included
With an integrated focus wheel, the crane-2 gives you the power to manually adjust your focus in real-time to capture cinematic style focus pulls and smoother subject tracking. Designed for autofocus lenses, the gimbal controls focus via a connection cable and allows for precise ± 0.02° Adjustments in real-time with three levels of follow focus sensitivity. The included mechanical follow focus mechanism enhances your creative versatility, allowing you to control a wider variety of lenses..
Integrated OLED display
Designed to provide comprehensive camera and gimbal information the oled display built into the handle of the crane 2 displays a range of useful information like battery level, aperture, and exposure compensation as well as the selected gimbal mode. This allows you to check settings with a quick glance so you can confidently shoot ultra-smooth camera movement.
Adjust camera setting with quick control dial
Adding to the already impressive list of features is a built-in control dial that can be pressed or rotated to modify camera settings for easier one-handed shooting. The dial gives you the ability to adjust parameters like shutter speed, aperture, iso and exposure compensation so you can react to changing shooting conditions quickly and without any hassle.
18 hrs continuous run time
For improved energy efficiency, the 3-axis gimbal has three rechargeable 18650 batteries that deliver a total 6000mah capacity for up to 18 hours of continuous use when balanced correctly. The increased power capacity provides peace of mind while shooting weddings or other extended events allowing you to undertake more extensive film projects with confidence.(Real time camera charging for canon 5d series and for some sony models)
Charge and capture at the same time
The updated power system also provides the ability to charge compatible sony and canon cameras while you shoot. So rather than removing the camera, swapping out the battery, and rebalancing your rig, you can simply plug a usb cable into the gimbal and power on through your shooting schedule.
Quick release plae for easy set up
Designed to make mounting your camera to the stabiliser as fast and as easy as possible, the crane 2 includes a durable quick release plate that matches manfrotto size standards. The plate features a measurement scale so you can mark positions for your favourite camera and lens combinations.
1/4th inch and 3/8th inch tripod socket
The base of the handle features an industry standard 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch threaded socket that allows you to connect the included mini tripod to give your arms a break while you rest the gimbal on the ground. It also allows you to attach a monopod for exaggerated crane or drone-style shots.
Includes eva carry case
The kit comes with a convenient eva carry case that holds the 3-axis gimbal as well as the batteries, charger, mini tripod, and the various included cables. The custom designed case provides padded storage for the each component and ensures your gear stays safe and secure during transport.
Gradual power down for camera protection
With the addition of the new slow-fall protection system the gimbal gradually powers down when it is switched off. This prevents the sudden drop that can occur when the motors no-longer support the camera weight. It helps you adapt to the change in balance to maintain your grip on the handle keeping your gear safe.
Wireless control system
The zhiyun crane two features built-in bluetooth and wireless connectivity that allows you to control the stabiliser from compatible android or ios smartphones. Together with the zhiyun app, you can re-calibrate gimbal settings and set angle adjustments for enhanced control.
Boasting a wide selection of features designed to help you capture ultra-smooth camera movements, the zhiyun tech crane 2 takes 3-axis stabilisation to the next level and can help you capture stylised cinematic shots that will dramatically increase the production value of your next video project.
