The five stars says it already! LOV...E IT! Till now i've used it for weddings and for sports and it did an awesome job. I have nikon camera's. I suggest to buy the Zhiyun double handed bar. This makes it more easy when working with field monitor and extra accessories. The bag has only space for the gimbal, small tripod, battery and cables that comes with the crane. I was hoping that the double hand bar can also fit in it, but it doesn't. That is till now the only negative thing that i can say about it. Make sure also that you check your footage before you do a job. Because you have to adjust the gimbal motor to the weight of your camera. I had mine first shoot on light mode, and my camera is a medium weight. My footage ended up with some trembling effect. Thank god i could of fix this in post. Over all i really like this gimbal. Made of really good material. Batteries last long!

One of my best investments This will change my way of view...ing and making videos... a lot of ways of enhancing video effects, not only stabilizing, using the formats, Lock, POV, F, Full focus, changing what works best for your filming... video comes out so smooth & professional when using any of these, it does take practice slowing down tilts, panning etc... go into the play app on phone or computer to slow down factory settings, great cinematic views... I use the canon camera so I can get the full effect of the gimbal, and I don't have to use the external follow focus, cause it has this internally... I also love the lcd screen on the gimbal to see everything I'm changing, Iso, AV, shutter speed etc... Only thing I'm not to fund of is the balancing part of it... takes me so long, and you have to practice practice practice, and if you are changing lenses, you should always mark down your settings on the gimbal, ( the measured numbers )… also if you use a heavy lens, it makes shooting video awkward and tiresome after a while... but I do highly recommend this zhiyun crane 2, you won't regret it.

This was undoubtedly a niched that nee...ded to be filled, especially if you are shooting any Sigma glass. A gimbal that supports just over 7lbs. of gear is pretty amazing. There are a few situations where this gimbal may not work well such as using a battery grip or a Canon 1 DX. Hopefully, firmware updates will allow the follow focus to work with other cameras like the Panasonic and Sony lines.

Good gimbal, little complicated to figure ou...t at first, might not be so bad if prior experience. I use a a6000 camera and its a little to light so bought a frame. Its also very heavy. If you have a mirrorless camera I highly suggest a lighter smaller one. I went a little over board.

I ordered this item, came in the mail on-time and ...out-of-box ready. I had no issues whatsoever and now I continue to use it as a main videography rig for travel, weddings and social media shoots.
