The Best Way To Use a Gimbal - Smooth Shots - Zhiyun Crane | Momentum Productions

[@samspace81]

Did you get those arms from using the gimbal?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

It definitely helped :)

[@samspace81]

lol really enjoyed your tips, i just bought one of these to up my KZbin game too. Subscribed.

[@kuvyoghmoobamelica6883]

I have my a7rii with a Car Zeiss 24-77mm lens on the Crane 2. Oh man, it was heavy after 5 minutes.

[@gilean6179]

kinda noticed them too. I don't have have big biceps.

[@bt1235]

Nah, got the ears though

[@yushi8373]

The only person who actually pronounced Zhiyun almost correctly.

[@khajapeermulla]

you are a savior, i almost through out my Crane 2 as i wasnt able to get the right footage.

[@itsallpointless6501]

Cool vid man, those epic guns are definitely assisting

I'm so glad to hear this! Thank you! :)

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marvinrolf7567]

finally, somebody pronounce ZHIYUN properly :)

[@JustDavidMinistries]

lol

[@PrimeInChina]

Nope, not at all. Not only is the sound wrong, the tone is also wrong. :)

[@floatingrabbit3556]

@@PrimeInChina there's no right or wrong way to pronounce anything, different people and accents will always sound different. What matters is you understand it.

[@PrimeInChina]

@@floatingrabbit3556 Uh no, I speak Chinese, I live in China. There is a right way to pronounce it. The reason for this is because Chinese is a tonal language. As an example, 吗，妈，马 are all typed with "ma" but they sound different. If you pronounce it wrong, you end up calling your mom a horse. There is a right way, stop telling people there isn't.

[@charlesnetzler2262]

Finally found something to help me as I get pretty shaky footage - cant wait to try it out! Subbed!

[@treffermedia9202]

do you also put warp stabilizer on all the footage in the end?

[@nicholasreese3982]

Great videos, Ever try using a monopod instead of the tripod attachment? I get Crane like shots high and low...

[@SkyRideProductions]

great video! So helpful to learn how to hold and walk properly with the gimbal.

great tips! loving the flashlight mode!! waiting for the next video on gimbal moves

[@edmundckc]

Hi there. I own a Zhiyun crane 2 and I’m trying to go ‘flashlight’ mode. Which mode ‘PF’ ‘Lock’ and ‘Follow’ should I choose for that. I don’t think there’s tilt lock mode. Looking forward to your reply thanks.

How can you be in the pan follow and tilt like modes at the same time? Crane 2

[@richcerezo]

Hey, would you recommend using the dual handles? If so, do you have specific tips on that? Cheers

hi Josh how to shoot in order to get a nice hd video

[@timothymcdaniel7372]

Have you ever loaded it up to or just above the maximum (1800g) payload? I recently purchased one and have a lens/camera combo that is right around 1770-1870g (with and w/out filter) that I was thinking about trying. Otherwise, I'm using the D500 with tamron 10-24 di II VC wide angle lens (1347g). Also, loving these tutorial videos! I'm getting ready for a summer of a lifetime and want to film my travels and explorations with my D500 and Hero 5 Black.

[@naabinaofficialchannel5543]

What do u Think, Which mode is the most useful for weeding shoot ? With Sony A7s2_16/35. Actually I am very confused.

[@nomadictrader2024]

creativity mode..!!

[@FullTimeEuphoria]

Really good video! Will this work with the 70d or is this only meant for the Sony cameras?

[@dalesimoneroberts]

what gimbal would you recommend to buy?

[@dylangintherofficial]

Is this the v2?

[@lorenzo.valenza]

where I can buy the gimbal extension?

[@jameskiberu8678]

Cool, you've explained how to run with a follow shot, but (unless you have a vid already) how about running backward lead shot? Would that require an extra person from behind camera operator for support? Thanks ;-)

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I have a video that touches up on this subject. However, I will be working on in an in-depth tutorial on this subject! Hopefully, you are subscribed with notifications on! :) Thank you for watching!

Where did you purchase the extension pod? Can't find it anywhere online ?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

amzn.to/2rcU3Ek :)

[@djlive408]

Momentum Productions oh I thought it was an additional tube to attack to make it longer but the package already came with the tripod. Thank you anyways

[@mauibuilder1239]

I am looking to purchase the Crane 2. Is it possible to tilt the gimbal down lower than horizontal in flashlight mode or do you have to invert the handle to go low?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yes! You can tilt lower than the horizon :)

[@mauibuilder1239]

Thank you for the prompt reply Mr. Gimbal. 👍🏼

[@JimmyOlsson]

Awesome stuff, man! Works good even with my Zhiyun Smooth C and Smooth Q for smart phones if I attach a tripod! Thanks! :)

[@jjpun6949]

Like your videos ! Very informative.Did your camera capture any noises from the gimbal? Or you removed it with Premiere Pro CC or other software?I am using Crane-M plus GoPro Hero5, it it does capture alot of motor noise... Any suggestion?Thanks in advance =)

[@MomentumProductions1992]

I don't hear any motor noise on my Crane. Do you have sample footage of the noise?

[@jjpun6949]

After camera mounted on gimbal, balanced (as it seems), switch on, connect to phone app ZHIYUN Assistant. After connected should it show all Pitch/Roll/Pan axis at 0.0 degree?My Pan Axis is off.......... Tried to calibrate it following your another KZbin guide but just can't get step # 3 correctly done. Motor strength is set to weak (orginally), non shaky. But footage just capture motor noice. Sorry i don't know how to upload or make any link to my footage here

[@CaitlinORorke]

Thanks for the video! Do you think I can use my Sony Nex VG 30 (Approx.3 lb 2 oz, Approx.1420 g) with this gimbal, or it is too heavy/big?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yes, it will Work with this gimbal :)

[@CaitlinORorke]

Great tips I love your ideas. I'm a musician and filmmaker my daughter just shot with a crane and an a7s2 the music video is call ed Bad Man band Frankie X and the Brooklyn bastids

[@Marc-kn3wc]

But where do I get the G1 crane?

[@taylorphillips5118]

Will it work with a phone?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

No, you will need a smaller gimbal.

[@c0pyimitati0n]

Do you typically keep lens stabilization on or off?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Typically off since the image stabilize can sometime anticipate the wrong movements and potentially ruin the shot.

[@remigiuspasternak7044]

Hi in what mode you are thx

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Pan follow :)

[@snapbuildsph]

and have strong arms...like that.

[@floatingrabbit3556]

What if you're widest is 18mm?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Then use that!

[@notsalad]

Ive seen you post a lot on the facebook page, these videos are exactly what im looking for as a recent crane owner. Thanks a ton! One thing ive noticed as i play around with the crane, shooting inverted mode close to the ground looks great but the effects of not having the crane stabilized in the vertical axis becomes much more noticeable (all that bobbling up and down). do you have some techniques for getting really smooth dolly shots close to the ground?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thank you for your awesome comment! I am currently working on a tutorial for inverted mode. Please stay tuned :)

[@notsalad]

[@aznguitar]

Holy shit I been doing it all wrong lol. Ty!

[@stefanbachrodt7072]

Great tips and smooth gimbal but I'm still not impressed with the slight up and down or side to side movements. If I'm going to fork out a wad of cash for tech like this then I expect there to be at least 20 cm of vertical and horizontal stabilization, not only for Yaw, Roll and Pitch. By doing so you eliminate all that unintentional movement we so often see happening with these hand held devices.

Hey Josh ! Thanks for the great tutorial ! I bought a Zhiyun Crane thanks to your awesome advice but am struggling with a shakiness while moving forward (backward too, but a little less) (see here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmasZIJ8bLmtb7c) , do you have any idea, since you seem to know well that beast, how I could solve this issue (I am all balanced, using a D750 + samyang 24 mm cinelens) ? I would so much appreciate your help :)

[@valentinependers9383]

xhaloz thanks ! Good thought, though no is on my lens but it was the setting of the crane that was actually on weak :) on strong works like a charm !
