Want to make smoother, more professional-looking video? Then your first port of call is a gimbal, and the Zhiyun Crane M2 could be just the job for filming mountain biking.
Choosing a gimbal is a bit of a minefield. There are a lot of brands out there offering gimbals that work with various different cameras so, on top of trying to find the right gimbal brand, you also need to choose a gimbal that works with your camera, and then you have to ensure it has all the features that you want too.
Can one gimbal do it all?
Over the next few months, I’ve decided that I want to shoot more video, but the issue I had was I wanted a gimbal that was both small and powerful. I wanted a gimbal that would pack in my riding pack, but still, have the grunt to balance my Sony A6300 mirrorless camera.
To make my search even more tricky I didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money, AND I also wanted the ability to mount a GoPro or even a smartphone too.
In all honesty, I thought I was asking too much and looking for a gimbal that couldn’t possibly offer it all, but unbelievably I’ve found one and I have it on my desk next to me.
Zhiyun Crane M2
Small but powerful.
Zhiyun is a Chinese technology company that has been releasing gimbals now for a few years. The brand started with smaller mobile phone type gimbals, but over the years has increased it’s range to include full-size, full-feature products that rival DJI’s Ronin.
The M2 works with mirrorless cameras, mobile phones and GoPro action cameras.
The Zhiyun Crane M2 is a bit of a crossover product because it’s as small as the mobile phone dedicated gimbals the company makes but powerful enough to handle a mirrorless camera. On top of that though, the Crane M2 ships with mounts for fitting a GoPro or mobile phones, and if you do choose to shoot with your mobile you’ll get impressive features such as automatic targeting tracking.
After reading the specifications I was a little sceptical after all this is a gimbal that costs just £259 shipped, and ticks every box I wanted ticking. Before pulling the trigger I decided to check out a few YouTube videos of the Zhiyun Crane M2 to see if it was really up for balancing a mirrorless and surprisingly those reviews and tests proved it was.
Manual controls.
The M2’s powerful motors aren’t just to keep your camera steady but can also be manually controlled via buttons located on the handle.
Joystick and OLED display.
A joystick on the rear of the device enables manual movement over the gimbal which is great for tracking or panning shots. Below the joystick is a record button which will use Bluetooth to start recording on your camera, and next to that a mode button for flicking through the various modes the gimbal supports including a POV mode, GO mode for sports and fast-moving subjects and even a Vortex mode that spins the camera around for some very creative shots.
There’s also a trigger on the front of the handle which can be used to quickly tap from mode to mode, plus it has a triple tap feature that spins the camera around for vlog-style selfie filming.
The M2 easily handles a Sony A6300.
Depending on the camera that you set up with the Zhiyun Crane M2 you’ll also have remote control capabilities and from the handle, you’ll be able to shoot video, photos and even control the zoom. This does all depend on your camera though. I first tested it with the Sony A6000 but the firmware of the camera only allows photo controls remotely whereas the A6300 will run video and zoom too.
Axis locks help with packing the M2 in your bag.
The gimbal also packs useful axis locks for easy transportation and to aid balancing, and it ships with a phone holder, a screw-in mini tripod too, USB Type C wire, and the case it ships in is sturdy enough to use as a protective case.
As this is a first look I just wanted to run over a few of the features and tech specs of the Zhiyun Crane M2 with the aim to delve into a full review in the coming weeks. If you have any questions about the M2 though then let me know in the comments section below and I’ll answer then as fast as possible.
Watch this space for smooth new videos!

Small batch production products is a unit of customized production and small batch production. There are many kinds of products produced in small batches, and the output of each variety is small. It needs to organize production according to the needs of users. It has the advantages of flexibility and good adaptability to the external market.
Brief overview
Owing to the wide range of batch production, it is usually divided into "mass production", "medium-batch production" and "small-batch production".
Small batch production refers to the production of special products which are basically required in small batches.
Single-piece small-batch production is a typical make-to-order (MTO), which has similar characteristics with single-piece production and is customarily called "single-piece small-batch production". Therefore, in a sense, "single piece small batch production" is more in line with the actual situation of enterprises.
It is composed of customized products (such as batch production clothing and turbines for hydroelectric power generation, etc.) and small batch production units.
Basic characteristics of mass production
Small batch production has the following characteristics:
2.Universal equipment, a large number of employees, low production efficiency and low labor productivity.
3.High cost.

The Zhiyun CRANE-M2 was just announced and it is smaller than most of its competitors. It weighs 1.1 lbs (500g) and can carry compact cameras, light mirrorless cameras, mobile phones, and action cameras weighing up to 1.58 lbs (720 g). It features enhanced camera control via Wi-fi and Bluetooth, new stabilizing modes, and up to 7 hours battery life. Available now for $269.

Zhiyun-Tech is a Chinese company specializing in electronic gimbal stabilizers. They have been on the market for a few years already and their CRANE gimbals have gotten quite popular.
In general, despite their overuse in many fields of filmmaking, the popularity of gimbals has been steadily increasing over the past years and manufacturers are trying to offer products for all weight classes of cameras. DJI introduced their compact gimbal for mirrorless cameras last week with the Ronin-SC. Gudsen introduced the MOZA Aircross 2 for lighter payloads during this year’s NAB.
In their last generation of gimbals, Zhiyun-Tech already has two products for different payloads. The CRANE 3 LAB can support payloads of up to 10 lbs (4.5 kg) and the WEEBILL LAB is aimed for payloads of up to 6.6 lbs (3 kg). Now Zhiyun-Tech announces very compact gimbal Zhiyun CRANE-M2. What are the specs?
The Zhiyun CRANE-M2 is truly a compact tool – the dimensions of the gimbal are 10.5 x 2.7 x 5.4″ (267 x 69 x 138mm) and it weighs 1.1 lbs (500g). It works with multiple devices including compact cameras, light mirrorless cameras, mobile phones, and action cameras – maximum payload is 1.58 lbs (720 g). Please mind, that a dedicated accessory is required for mounting mobile phones or action cameras.
The gimbal has a new quick release plate which makes it much easier to remove the camera from the stabilizer and remount it again. The scale mark and positioning memory lock mean that balancing only takes seconds. The axes can be locked in position by one button and prevented from swinging around during storage, which lets the CRANE-M2 fold up and lock quickly to fit into a backpack or even a pocket.

The handle provides easy access to all the controls. For example with a single push of the slider on the handle, users can operate the camera’s zoom. There is a bright OLED display which shows gimbal mode, Bluetooth and Wi-fi status, battery level and other important parameters.
On top of three basic modes known from previous Zhiyun-Tech gimbals:
Full-range POV mode allows 360° synchronous movement on all three axis
Vortex mode enables 360° barrel shots in all dimensions
Go mode allows a fast pan or tilt to capture fast moving subjects (on some gimbals it is called sport mode)
Selfie mode quickly turns the camera 180° to face the person holding it – made for vlogging (this mode has also been included in previous Zhiyun gimbals).

CRANE-M2’s Wi-fi and Bluetooth features provide seamless wireless camera control through the gimbal handle and Zhiyun’s ZY PLAY app. Zhiyun-Tech published a list of cameras which are currently supported for the wireless controls:
GoPro HERO 5/6/7
For smartphones, Zhiyun only states that most popular smartphones on the market are supported. The ZY PLAY app brings more additional features like remote control, time-lapse, panorama and vertigo shot.

The Zhiyun CRANE-M2 also features ¼-inch threaded holes to attach audio, lighting and monitoring equipment. The battery runtime is up to 7 hours. CRANE-M2 itself can charge cameras, phones and other devices, and it can also be charged from a power bank or other source.
The Zhiyun CRANE-M2 is available now for pre-order. The price has been set to $269 US (in Europe around €289 incl. VAT).
It will be interesting to see which setups can work with such a small gimbal – to look for its limits. When I briefly checked the FUJIFILM X-T3’s weight, which (according to B&H, body with battery and memory card) is 1.19 lb (539 g). I think it might even be possible to mount this camera with a lightweight prime lens. I am curious to see.
We will update this article with buy links from our sponsors B&H and CVP when those become available.
What do you think of the new Zhiyun CRANE-M2? Do you need a compact gimbal like this? Which camera would you use it with? Let us know in the comments below the article.

In addition, it applies dark tones that full of high-quality like gray, charcoal gray, etc. The whole look refined and stylish, more sophisticated than modern simplicity, and freer than a luxury.
At the same time, based on the unique positioning of "life artist", the four themed new products introduced this time are designed by designers who draw inspiration from many artworks. Artistic elements such as Yayoi Kusarea's polka dots and minimalist color blocks of Mark Roscoe are ingeniously integrated into the design of products and spaces so that the new products of the series not only have a poetic hue but also have a unique artistic temperament and individuality.
Raphael Light luxury series.
For example, the light luxury series named after the famous artist Raphael, his work fully reflects the tranquility, harmony, coordination, symmetry, and perfect and tranquil order. This series is inspired by this, emphasizing the sharpness of lines and the beauty of parallelism, blending some bright colors with dark tones, transmuting the beauty of soft and full harmony. In terms of color application, it is mainly based on California shade wood grain color and meridian gray. It is decorated with dark genus and glass elements, and a small amount of fabric and leather materials are used to enhance the vitality of the space. Overall, it is fashion without losing quality. The door type is mainly a flat door, highlighting the simple and neat style.
Multiple material collision, creative and high-quality
Paying attention to the simplicity and gorgeous of the design technique, but not neglecting the quality and design sense, while embodying the pursuit of exquisite and elegant life through the luxury of materials, which is another highlight of the life artist series. In addition to the warm wood, clear glass, cold metal, stylish baking paint, and modern marble are also used in this series.

This article takes you to master five practical color matching methods of men's clothing for spring and summer, so that you can easily go out without thinking too much.
Five Color Matching Methods of Men's Clothing
Khaki and white
Khaki and white are actually a good match. Common khaki pants are paired with a white T-shirt or white shirt, and a pair of white sneakers that are fashionable, giving a clean and comfortable feeling. If you like to wear white, you can choose a white and khaki jacket to add layering to pure white.
Blue and white
White is most people’s first choice because it can be matched with any color, but it takes a lot of effort to dress smartly. When white is paired with blue, in order to avoid giving a top-heavy visual sense, choosing a white top (shirt or T-shirt) with blue pants is highly recommended.
Blue and white
Blue and green

If you are thinking of venturing into videography and looking for an entry gimbal, check out the compact ZHIYUN Crane M2, compatible with a variety of lightweight mirrorless, compact, and action cameras, as well as smartphones.
If you are relatively unfamiliar with filming equipment, as I am, ZHIYIN's Crane M2 handheld stabilizer looks very promising at the first glance. Using my travel-friendly Canon M50 with an EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, which places in the Crane M2 camera compatibility list, I was thrilled to try out a gimbal that looked like it could occupy a permanent place in my equipment bag. With the aim of recording some of our personal travels, as well as a mix of photography and lifestyle vlogging, this seemed to be the missing piece in the puzzle that is amateur videography. However, this gimbal certainly isn't for anyone whose camera isn't on the list, primarily because of the size and weight. So, if that's you, check out other options that can handle your heavier camera, such as Feiyu Tech Ak4000.
Specifications
With a tagline of making "every one a true filmmaker of their daily lives," ZHIYUN has brought a three-axis stabilizer, which is designed to perform for multiple devices and for users of all levels. As noted, before you purchase it, make sure you have thoroughly checked if your camera and lens combination will be supported by the gimbal. The list includes a variety of Sony, Panasonic, Canon, and GoPro cameras weighing up to 1.58 lbs (an action cam mount is sold separately). The majority of cameras on the list allow taking photos, start and stop recording, as well as a zoom in and out option when using the gimbal handle. Make sure you carefully study the compatibility list so you are not left disappointed, because certain cameras have limitations, (for example, unavailable zoom control on HERO5).
Crane M2 also has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Wi-Fi allows you to connect to your camera for greater filming control, and the Bluetooth lets your camera sync up with the ZY mobile app for iOS and Android, which is available free to download and use. The app offers not just a variety of remote control options, but also contains tutorials and more.
Gimbal boasts 360° pan, 310° tilt, and 324° roll rotation through six different modes:
PF (Pan Following Mode): allows the camera to pan as you turn the gimbal left and right
F (Following Mode): camera will follow the handle movements
L (Locking Mode): camera direction is locked
V (Vortex Mode): for those 360° barrel shots
POV (Full-Range POV Mode): allows 360° synchronous movement on all three axes
GO (Go Mode): capture fast movement
Lastly, it has an OLED display, which shows battery level, connection status, and your selected shooting mode. Other features include a quick-release camera mounting system, scale marks, and memory locks to make balancing easier for different types of cameras, and you can attach the mini tripod on the bottom to use it as a stand or if it's easier, for you to grip and control it. Packaging also includes a hand strap, smartphone mount clip, Micro-USB Type-C Cable, mini tripod, and quick release plate. Currently, it retails for $269.
First Impressions
Although I had previously used gimbals before when assisting on a shoot, I had never actually taken a brand-new one out of the box and blindly followed the included instructions from the get-go. I would be lying if I said the whole setup process was easy. In fact, it was very much far from it. I found the included instructions very hard to follow, so inevitably, I ended up looking at ZY's own tutorials on their app. But, even during the most crucial moments of setting up, the tutorial would quickly rush past it or not show a close-up of the action at all. I found this very frustrating as a first-time user and had to resort to looking for video tutorials elsewhere just so I could finally start using the gimbal.
Although my Canon M50 is included in the compatibility list, unfortunately, the process was made harder by the fact that the viewfinder on this particular camera as well as on the Canon M5 may interfere with the roll axis motor under balanced position (which means I cannot use the Vortex mode). Once I had it set up and once I learned how it works, the initial instructions became clearer, but as someone who's never done anything like that before, it can be a very frustrating process. I struggled to connect the gimbal to my camera, which may be due to my camera's connection more so than the gimbal itself; however, that meant I was not able to start recording by using the start button on the gimbal grip.
The gimbal itself I found to be very easy and comfortable to hold. The weight of it is a massive bonus in my book. Having held heavier gimbals, I know how tiring it can become, but this one was very lightweight to use and to hold. To me, it just seems like a great option for those who travel often and don't want to carry heavy equipment. Once I attached the tripod bottom, I didn't take it off, because it is that light, and I prefer having the option to safely put it down on the ground or use it as a tripod for filming certain clips.
The biggest issue I had with using this gimbal was the different filming modes. First of all, before you go out shooting, you need to understand what each mode does and which one to use. This was my first mistake, when I thought I would just learn it on the go, but looking back, I would recommend thoroughly reviewing each mode first. Secondly, changing the modes can be confusing too, because you don't simply run through each mode by pressing one button. Instead, you use a combination of tapping the trigger back of the handle and using the "mode button" to find the mode you're looking for.
Zhiyun Crane M2 gimbal handle
As for the footage, even though I had moments where I wanted to put it back in my bag and give up due to how the gimbal handled my specific camera, I still can't fault it too much when it comes to the quality of the actual material, which is something you've already come to expect from all gimbals coming onto the market nowadays. The weight of it makes it easy to use it for longer periods, and I enjoyed using it once it was all set up.
What I Liked
Compact and lightweight, easy to pack and travel with
The variety of shooting modes
Decent battery life
Appropriate price considering it supports smartphones and action cameras, as well as certain mirrorless models
Suits beginners and vloggers
What Could Be Improved
More thorough and beginner-friendly tutorials
Easier and more logical way of choosing shooting modes
Full compatibility for all cameras included in the list for a better filming experience

Conclusion
Although I did not have the best start when trying to stabilize my camera or when trying to connect it to Wi-Fi, I'd be happy to put that experience past me, because this gimbal could be a really useful piece of equipment so as long as it fits your style of shooting and more importantly, it fits with your camera. As someone who is by no means attempting to get into professional videography, I did want something that can help make my personal video or photography tutorials footage more dynamic, and I can see this gimbal doing just that. The quality of footage obtained would be sufficient for me and my needs, and I would consider bringing it with me on shoots to potentially add brief video footage to the final gallery, too.
With a $269 price tag, I can justify the price if I were to make the most of all it offers, such as different shooting modes and support for smartphones, actions cameras, and mirrorless cameras. As someone who'd be using only one mirrorless camera for the time being, which also happens to not have the full compatibility with all features this gimbal offers, I am slightly torn; however, if I owned one of the other cameras on the list, I wouldn't hesitate. This gimbal is well suited for those who use videography as an addition to their lifestyle or even business and less so for those who specialize in pro video work and need to use more substantial camera and lens combinations.
