Intuitive Interface. The Zhiyun-Tech Crane-2 3-Axis Stabilizer offers three levels of focus control, giving you the ability to make precision adjustments.
Its handgrip includes two large buttons and two smaller buttons that let you easily cycle through and select camera parameters. You can use the LED situated just above the controls to monitor your camera and stabilizer settings. Smooth Operation. The Crane-2 offers fast response, smooth motion, and reliable image stabilization. If you find the single grip does not offer enough support, we also rent a to provide even more support Long Battery Life.
The three included 18650 li-ion batteries give you a combined 6000 mAh capacity, allowing you to shoot for up to 10 hours in perfect conditions. If that’s not enough, we offer the for 6 more batteries and an extra charger. Limited Follow-Focus Compatibility. This crane offers three-level follow-focus control for Canon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras released after 2008 with original Canon autofocus lenses. This is purely an electronically-controlled system, so don’t expect true follow-focus-like results.
Limited Charging Capability. You can use this gimbal to charge and power select Sony cameras, so that you don’t have to swap out camera batteries. Additional Features. The “slow-fall” feature keeps your camera from dropping quickly and possibly sustaining damage when you power down the Crane-2. Additionally, this rental includes a Manfrotto-standard quick-release plate so that you can quickly mount and unmount your camera.
Can I use this crane with tall camera bodies, such as the Canon 1DX Mark II or 1DC?. This crane won’t work with tall camera bodies.
Do you include a lens support bracket with the rental by default?. No, the lens support bracket is not sent by default with the Zhiyun-Tech Crane-2 3-Axis Stabilizer. While we generally don’t recommend using large lenses with this stabilizer, if you need the support bracket sent you can request so in the special instructions box upon checkout.
Do you recommend using the gimbal with long servo lenses?. While limited servo control was a nice addition to this gimbal, the camera balance is too sensitive to support the weight shift of quick zoom extensions without the need to rebalance the entire rig.
We recommend sticking to primes or extremely compact zoom lenses. What can I expect from the camera control cables?. Currently, not much.
We tested these cables with various compatible cameras and were left with a mixed bag of results. Use at your own risk.
