Hi, Evan! Today is 9th of November, 11:45. I just bought a new ZC2 and right now I'm balancing my camera on this gimbal with you. I gotta say the feeling adjusting this thing for first time was quite special. I did laughed when you said you want to throw it out the window because I also got frustrated. I guess what I'm trying to say, patience is the key to everything, hehe! Thanks for a nice tutorial on how to balanze a Zhiyun Crane! I can't wait to try this new gimbal! Cheers!^^

Hey guys! I have a Gh4/Apurture Lens Regain/Sigma 18-35 and I have massive problems getting this thing balanced. So all the balancing works fine, the lens even stays still in all the direction BEFORE I get to the Pan Axis. This is where I dont get the motor nowhere close to parallel to the floor. I also tested it in operation mode the Pan Axis is the out of wack. Do you by any chance have the exact hashmarks for the camera setup?

Got my Crane 2 recently and your video was a godsend! Quick question- Do you ever get this thing where, after you turn the Crane 2 on, it gets itself into place, and then drifts very slightly (either to the left or right) for 5 seconds, before fully settling into place? Is that a common thing? I've upgraded to the latest firmware and did the calibration via the app, but I still get a slight drift when I turn it on. The drifting doesn't seem to affect overall smoothness while I'm walking around with it, it's just a weird that it does that initial 5 second drift...

Turns out one of my Pan settings just had to be set to 0 degrees in the Zhiyun Gimbal Tools app (it was on 5 degrees by default), and that fixed the drifting! If anyone's reading this and having drifting issues after turning on your Crane 2, just open up the Zhiyun Gimbal Tools app and set your Pan Deadband to 0 degrees!

Ok - this is a good video - but can you help me with something - when you do the 2nd balancing with the lens facing down - and you get it to work, then you move it to a horizontal position, it stays. When I balance it that way, and it is still and 'balanced' with the lens facing down (or up - as the documentation shows), it stays up or down - it will not stay in a horizontal position like yours does - and thus, I cannot get this balanced at all. It's frustrating and makes me want to throw it through the window.
@EvanThomas
6 жыл бұрын
I understand the frustration, but once you get it down, you will be able to balance it every time. Balance it horizontal first, THEN face it down (or up) re-adjust, and then continue from there. The issue your experiencing is that the center of gravity is not in line with the axis of the side motor. Hope this helps.

Hi Evan, thanks for the video. I am using a Canon 80D with a sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens. My camera looks balanced when it isn't moving, however, as soon as I turn it on it bounces and swings from side to side. It has a mind of its own :/ could it be because I didn't balance it properly? Thank you
@EvanThomas

Hi Charmaine, yes that seems to be the only explanation. You probably have it balanced in correctly. When it's properly balanced you should be able to point the camera in any direction while the gimbal is turned off and it will stay in that position. Have you tried that?

Yeah that's correct. The back motor. It keeps returning to the horizon. Seems to work fine though. From what I've read, this setup is too bottom heavy, you need to either add weight to the top of the camera or find a way to raise it up a bit with a spacer of some sort. Cage might do the trick. Will report back if I find a solution.

Great video Evan. Question, I have a 20mm Sigma and its a long lens. I can't tilt the lens downward to adjust the the side motor because the lens will bump into the gimbal so I tilt it upwards instead and then adjust. I should achieve the same results right? It seems balanced. Also how does the follow focus work? Do I have to place the lens on Manual Focus? I can't seem to figure it out.
@EvanThomas
6 жыл бұрын
yes you can tilt up as well. After you've followed all the steps, you will know the lens is balanced when you can point the camera in any direction and it will stay in that direction without it falling. The follow focus only works on newer model Canon cameras. This is a limitation of the cameras, not the gimbal.

Thank you, that was so clearly demonstrated. I’ve been frustrated with how fickle it seems, but now I am encouraged to not return it to amazon. Do you have any tips on managing the base plate? Using it with a manfrotto quick release adapter, or how to use it in inverted mode?

thanks for watching. It's frustrating to use at first but you'll get used to it. There are lots of video tips from other channels. Check out Brandon Li's channel.

Cheers Evan, I just got my Zhiyun Crane 2 on Saturday. Following this video, I balanced 2 lenses (and kept notes) within an hour, practiced on Sunday and took it on an actual job on Monday. Even though my lack of practice slowed me down a little, I got some great footage that I can add to my final production video. This really adds a whole new dynamic to my filming - and thanks to you I took various shots with 2 different lenses without much delay - a big thanks from me!

3:14 pretty sure this is impossible for me with my a5100 (Carl Zeiss SEL24F18Z). It ALWAYS tips. Put the slider all the way one slide, the camera swings to the side. Put the slider all the way to the other side, the camera still swings the same way but not as much. Its as if I need to move that slider even further but it's impossible. Even when I put the camera screw on 0, and the faceplate all the way down so gravity has complete control of it, I still can't do this bit. Is my Crane 2 broken?

Cheers mate, helped me balance straight out of the box with zero hassle. Grateful I didn't have to spend ages figuring it all out! Muchos gracias.

Do I have to balance it every time? Is there a way I can keep my balance settings?

How do you balance it of your add on mic attachment is hitting the back arm/motor? I can’t face the camera up to balance. Anyone know?

great video, I finally got the camera to be straight on the gimbal but it's still vibrating though... any idea why it does that?

Hi Evan. Does this crane 2 need the app for any matter or with this calibration it's pretty much done?

Great video thabks... Getting my A6500 tomorrow next week maybe this Baby or do you think Version 2 is good enough for an A6500 what about with an LED light on the camera have you tried that yet for low light conditions that's really the only reason I'm thinking of this one vs V2 nobody ever mentions a light or MIC LOL

If you have an A6500 then the version 2 is definitely good enough. It's definitely a lot cheaper. And yes it can support an microphone and a SMALL light. I've seen configurations where people mount the light to the handle.

Hi, Thanks for this video. I just bought a second hand Crane 2 and I at the point where youwere when you were about to throw it out of the window. I am not yet rich enough to throw twelve £10.00 bills out of the window. Not yet. I am not even past the first step to get the camera balanced around it's center of gravity!. Why didn't I know this before I purchased this!!!!!!!!! Now I have to find patience that I don't have. Do you have any for a few quid? Thanks. again.
