With Zhiyun's new gimbal about to launch, should you care? And if so, why?
With modern DSLR and mirrorless bodies being more than capable video cameras, a lot of stills shooters have dipped their toes in to moving image waters. However, there was the barrier that is so familiar to photographers the world over: money. To effectively shoot professional quality footage, there's always equipment you could do with owning, but that racks up in cost. However, typical to all technological advance, things are getting smaller and cheaper.
Zhiyun have already built a good reputation in the gimbal world, and their new Crane M2 looks to be an excellent option with a low entry point — a very low entry point. Coming in at just $269, videographers using mirrorless, small DSLRs, or phone cameras can have a serious gimbal for under $300 without having to take your chances with unproven brands. It is certainly an interesting option.
