ZHIYUN-TECH CRANE 2S HANDHELD GIMBAL

The Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 2S, a successor to the Crane-2, has been significantly improved to better meet the demands of filmmakers. With its new-generation 9th Instune Algorithm, which enhances the responsiveness of every axis, the CRANE 2S stabilizes big cameras and their accessories, including the Blackmagic Pocket 6K, Panasonic S1H, and Canon EOS 1DX Mark II.

The CRANE 2S has specific mounting locations to accommodate an optional Zhiyun-Tech TransMount transmitter in order to facilitate teamwork. A vertical fast release mount that lets you position your camera vertically is another new feature that has been incorporated to meet the increasing demand for social media material. In addition, the conventional method of attaching your camera is accomplished with the new FlexMount system. This technology secures your camera with a double-safety mechanism and makes mounting and setup easier. A two-phase locking design has also enhanced the axis-locking mechanism used in camera balancing. In addition, the axis-locking mechanism makes sure that the gimbal parts remain stationary either in storage or transit.

The gimbal feels lighter in your palm since its grip handle is composed of carbon fiber. You may now adjust with more accuracy thanks to an updated built-in handwheel on the handle’s side that allows for very little delay when using an optional lens motor (separately offered). (You may program the handwheel to operate either the focus or zoom motor when utilizing both.) There is a 1/4′′-20 thread on the bottom of the handle where you can screw in the little tripod that comes with it. This allows you to use it as a stand or as an extension that you can hold with your other hand for further control.

Advanced cinematic features like panorama, time-lapse, motion-lapse, and long exposure time-lapse may be executed with the gimbal to produce artistic outcomes by using the associated iOS/Android mobile app. This software allows you to modify a lot of the gimbal’s properties, and the 0.96′′ OLED screen located just above the handle provides quick access to many important modes and settings.

Servo motors are among the several specialized Zhiyun-Tech TransMount accessories that are compatible with the CRANE 2S. You can easily shift your camera between the gimbal and tripods, sliders, and other camera supports thanks to the fast release plate that comes with the gimbal. It is compatible with many standard tripod heads. To enable a thorough workflow, additional connections for several camera controls and a lens control are also supplied. The three included batteries, which can be recharged with the provided triple charger, allow the CRANE 2S to operate for up to 12 hours.
