Great product, poor instructions

I bought this gimble to use with the Canon M50 with the kit lens. It was a bit tricky to set up; the instruction booklet and official Zhiyun setup videos were not helpful at all. They used a camera setup about 5 feet from the reviewer, had no closeups and worst of all, the reviewer wore a black t shirt while holding the black gimble, thereby obscuring any visual aids. Fortunately, there are much more detailed instructional videos posted on youtube. I think this gimble is better suited to a go pro, although I did manage to use it with the M50 and the results were incredibly good. The problem with using an M50 is that it's close to the maximum weight limit, which limits your choice of lenses or accessories like an attached mic.

A Great Gimbal for my Sony RX100 V

Very excited to get this gimbal up and running. Was a bit problematic at first with the connection but after that, all is great. Learning all the tips and tricks to make the best movies ever! Thank you, Adorama and Zhiyun!

Good Value

I use this with my zv-1 and some accesories, i can be easly maxed out and gives strange vibrations. It is a very efficient gimbal and you can get really smooth shots when you know how to work with it.

A somewhat useful but difficult product to use.

I found the Zhiyun Crane-M2 3-Axis a useful but difficult product to use. The documentation is very limited and difficult to read do to it’s extremely small font. After working with the product (hours) over the weekend I was finally able to get it to work. Although I ‘m using a small Sony RX-100 Camera the unit seems barely able to handle the weight. For the cost I have found the product to be over priced and difficult to use. The bottom line it was a mistake to buy on my part to buy.

Swiss Army Knife of Gimbals

the first thing you have to wrap your head around is how small it puts away. Its case is smaller than Zhiyun's mobile phone gimbal line. the second thing you have to wrap your head around is how many devices it can support. smartphones, action cams, point and shoots and small mirrorless. the third thing you have to wrap your head around is the payload. under 800g. which means no full-frame with big honking f/1.4 lens. this ain't it, chief. But if you've got an A6000 or Lumix GX series, its nearly perfect for that set up. If your gear is light enough and you haven't already bought a gimbal, but have all kinds of gear that would look amazing stabilized, this is it folks.
