Just updated thanks again. I want to note that the gimbal tools file has been upgraded to V 1.3.2 this requires a change in the final step: when you click "upgrade" you must now hold down the power button on the crane (if you don't the time will elapse and will say searching failed) after it is installed all you have to do is turn on the crane as you normally would. Hope this helps someone.

Hey Russell, I'm having the same general issue as this video, but I have the Crane 2. Currently, if I boot up the Crane I just get a flashing Upgrade screen and then the X. So I've followed this information and also this users video kzitem.info/news/bejne/2nyZyoWKbZZmlnY. When I get to step 3 in his Key Steps section the Upgrade button has changed to countdown from 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds expires a message appears saying "Searching Failed!" I'm not finding any other useful info yet so I'm hoping you might be able to help further. Thank you.

Chad Williams ok well to be honest I am not sure how the crane 2 process is as I have the V2 but check out this video here as the person performs an upgrade on his crane 2. kzitem.info/news/bejne/r6-Dxapus19plW0 and if any problems persist maybe you can ask him. I just don't want to give you any inaccurate information that may damage your crane. I pray you get through successfully & let me know if you do.

There are three different software downloads: USB Driver, Calibrator (through which you get to the update tool) and the firmware update. I learned you MUST use the usb cable you got with the Smooth-Q, all others fail to let the computer see the gimbal. Install the driver first. Connect the gimbal and long-press the mode button to set it in standby. Start the calibrator. The update took about 10 seconds and did make a small difference.

Thank you for your help. I have the Crane 2 and my camera would not work using the buttons on the handle. I was about to lose faith in the gimbal until i found your video. Before I followed these directions whenever I plugged it in it would just start slapping itself metal on metal. It was like it was glitching out, but now everything works and I appreciate the video.

Thanks for this video man. I'm using a Zhiyun Crane M and trying to upgrade my firmware.. followed your instructions but for some reason the Gimbal tools can't detect my crane M. Maybe it has something to do with the USB driver? Do I have to save this to somewhere, specifically? When I try to install the driver (CH341SER) it keeps saying "the driver installation wizard successfully scanned your machine but did not find any devices to be updated". I'm using Windows10. Anybody who has the same issue? I'm not really a techy guy. Thank you!

For the CP210x USB Driver it says for RIDER-M, EVOLUTION, TINY-2, SMOOTH 2 & SMOOTH C but disregard that just download it too. This is for mac. I tried this on Windows and this was the solution that worked for me too!
