Nice video, but I think you should've color corrected the footage. I can't tell when she is in focus or not.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thank you for input, I’ll be sure to do that next time :)

[@anoopammanath7462]

Thnx for the video. Iam also practicing to manual focus on my crane 2.

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Thanks for this Josh

[@Direct19681]

Great video Josh!

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thanks so much man!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Thanks for the heads up, Josh. I've just picked up the new motor using your link.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thanks so much!

[@katharunkumar4852]

Hey buddy! I’m planning to buy one but I’m a bit confused with the sc and the sc pro which comes with the focus motor. I own a canon 250D and i just want to know that, will the focus motor setup would be compatible with my camera? It would be great if you guide me with this so that i can save the extra money which I’ll spend!

[@ElAnonimoSONRIENTE]

I have a Zhiyun Crane v1, I mounted a sony a6400 and a 16mm sigma lens. but the movements are noticeable. Do you think it's because it's a lot of weight?

[@TSHERINGSAMFILMS]

Thank you for this review brother, im also zhiyun gimbal lover ❤

[@husaks6813]

Hey, hope everyone’s well, am looking to get a gimbal... I had the rsc2 paired with Sony A7iii & 24-70gm, it was okay but at certain low angles I would feel the gimbal vibrate so I’ve sold it ... looking into the zhiyun 2s or the ronin rs2 which would you recommend? I’d really appreciate the opinions

[@godofwar3432]

can you Zoom and focus at the same time. I hope they provide two knobs to adjust focus and zoom on gimbals.

[@AyeAyeLtd]

Shoutout to you. 1:20 was critical. Couldn't find whether the rod attaches to the standard plate on any Zhiyun content.

Sir best gimbal for wedding cinematography crane 2s v crane 3

She is!

Hey i was thinking of buying gimbal for Fujifilm xt3, i saw the compatibility list, does this focous motor work with it?

[@monlegaspi]

I have an xt3 and weebill S and plsnning to buy this ff cmf-06.I want to know as well

[@wellintomteles9707]

Hello, what is this model specifically of the 2S? Because the ones I find the back axis always cover the camera monitor, the one you are using the axis is already lower. If you can answer me I would appreciate it. I'm from Brazil and I had to use the translator to write, sorry if it's a little strange..

[@GhostDunker]

good video

[@leny5543]

Clicked on your link for the Focus Control Motor only it’s not available and they don’t know if or when it will be available darn 😔

[@leonarddai4998]

How did you manage the focus with log profile? Its so hard

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Definitely takes a lot of practice haha

[@nigerian-nightmare]

Hi Momentum P, I bought Crane 2s after watching your video. Also, I own Weebils and Zhiyun-Tech TransMount Max Servo Zoom/Focus Controller. I was told that the Max Servo focus controller will work on Cranes 2s but when I hook it up on my Cranes 2s it does not respond. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or I need to buy the focus controller 2.0 for my crane 2s. I hate to spend money when I don't have to. Please any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

[@legendgrandpa7974]

Plase man i have a similar problem

[@nigerian-nightmare]

@@legendgrandpa7974 You need the focus controller 2.0 for crane 2s.

[@legendgrandpa7974]

@@nigerian-nightmare we’ll that’s gonna be some extra money 😥

[@fulloffame]

Will this work on the Crane 2?

[@JarvisVideomaker]

Hi, my Crane 2s won't turn on, do you know anything about it?

[@Franciehatescoffeeicecream]

this dude has enormous arms. i am super envious :D

[@jakobmoir3939]

I'm convinced this is just a bicep flex video

[@SkipODonnell]

Can I use autofocus or does it create shake?

[@babyave]

hey man are you out of breath still? jk you earned a sub. great informational video for someone who just picked up the focus motor

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Hahahah Thanks for the sub!

Is it just me looking in the description for the phone number? lol

[@justonbrazda3846]

Are you going to test the new dji gimbals? I mean, you seem to have a lot Of gimbal info on your channel. To not review these, is almost like you don’t want to make zhiyun mad.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I recently sold my Ronin S since I didn’t use it. I might pick up another Ronin, but not sure yet

[@OUCGN]

He is working for Zhiyun i guess:))

[@justonbrazda3846]

@@OUCGN sure does seem that way. Can’t think of another reason why someone who does camera and gimbal videos wouldn’t review the new dji gimbals. Which to me, means that the zhiyun reviews are irrelevant.

[@elvispresley2542]

I wonder if the ATF will ban gimbals next becuse they have a "pistol grip"
