Weight matters

This thing is very cool. Don’t forget that it can’t handle a whole lot of weight.Write your review here. It must be at least 10 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.

Best gimbal for mirrorless compact cameras

The Zhiyun Crane-M is very good construction. Excellent software and performance is perfect. I recommend it to all professional videomakers, including the Youtubers.

Overall Impressed

Build quality is top notch, easy to use gimbal, easy to balance and has a very good smart phone app. Only gripe I can think of is the batteries that it use. It has 26500, which I cant find anywhere locally. I had to buy it online which was ebay. Wish it used 26650 or at least 18650 batteries as those are more common

Great gimbal, instructions poorly written

This is my first single handed gimbal and it works great. The batteries last longer than any other gimbal that I have had in the past. The instructions are poorly written, but online videos filled in the gaps. I also downloaded the IOS app and it needs some work, but all in all it works. I am using it with a Canon G7X Mark II and in order to balance it perfectly I had to use an offset on the camera when mounting it to the base of the gimbal.

Best gimbal for mirrorless compact cameras

By Carlos T.

The Zhiyun Crane-M is very good construction. Excellent software and performance is perfect. I recommend it to all professional videomakers, including the Youtubers.

Smaller Outside, More Inside
Crane-M is a paraprofessional gimbal. With a payload weight of 4.4-22.9oz (125-650g), it supports the vast majority of compact digital cameras on the market and fills a vacancy between phone and mirrorless camera at the same time. Crane-M only weights 1.6 lbs (740g), which is lighter than the Zhiyun Crane, but adopts the new technology of 3-axis of unlimited rotation and Bluetooth connection while being compatible with 2 types of batteries from Crane. The Crane-M is an entry level paraprofessional product created by Zhiyun to help photographers take their shoots to the next level.

Giant monster, multidevice support
Crane-M weights only 1.6 lbs, as light as a bottle of mineral water, but can support everything from action cameras to mobile phones, compact cameras and mirrorless cameras. It could be compared to an ancient, giant monster - because of its strong performance and "huge stomach".

First gimbal to control the camera
Crane-M is the first gimbal that is able to control the camera attached to it. The zoom, focus and shutter release of select Sony cameras can be controlled over a USB cable, saving time.

Extended battery life
Crane-M uses a 26500 battery which brings 12 hours of operating time. It allows you to shoot all day long - and even might turn you into a shooting addict.

Lighter and smaller
Improvements have been made on the size, weight and design of the Crane-M as compared with the Crane, making it lighter and smaller.

Multiple shooting modes
The 3 motors of the Crane-M adopted advanced slip ring technology and 360 deg. unlimited rotation to meet shooting demands including traditional shooting, upside-down shooting and low and high position shooting. It is capable of making seamless transitions even at the coaxial status.

Change shooting mode within a minute
Hand screw design - Tool-free adjustment, assembly and dismounting the camera within 1 minute.

Endless possibilities when used with other equipment
With the 1/4 screw, Crane-M works with a wide-range of photographic accessories including tripods, extension rods and suction mounts. This gimbal can be hand-held but also has the capability of doing time-lapse photography and achieve crane shooting effects.
