You are 100% correct in regard to the follow focus mini rod attachment. The hot set up would be a super light quick release plate with real shot rod(s). That way, the follow focus would move with the plate. If the gear depth was greater on the follow focus it might work by not having to snug it as tight.

Only the Potato can make some chair b roll look amazing.

Michael Pruett yep. Same

[@dathofilms]

[@NewLifeMoves]

That's what I thought too

"I need a good clickbaity thumbnail". Your honesty is refreshing, sir. Consider me subscribed.

[@CheeseOnEverything]

Lol after watching this video a few times, I dunno why people are complaining about the lack of 120p in the new cameras. The slowmo PJ has achieved in 60p looks just as amazing as PM's slowmo in 120 on his 1dx2. Amazing work bud! Keep it up!

[@GaryTheGringo]

Dude your videos are fantastic! I always look forward to watching them when they come out.

[@garrettschwindt7478]

The focus rail has a hole in it designed for an allen key to go through to give you more leverage to tighten it. But I have just started underslinging it like you mentioned which works for all my lenses.

[@dexterwegh]

nice job man, thx for inspiring me to keep on making epic videos that could be as dope as yours! greets from belgium

[@NimrodSarid]

Great visuals and very comprehensive!

[@SimeonKolev]

I had the same vibrations in some specific positions and rebalancing solved it. Also lowering the motor strenght helps sometimes. About the height - there is a special arm replacement for this gimbal that allows it to lower the camera even further. They made it after 1dxII users made complains. About the follow focus - there is a new model where this problem you were talking about is fixed :). There is only one issue with this gimbal that I can't fix so far and it is a bug maybe. When you lower the handle more than 45 degrees it stops controling the follow left-right and if you rotate the handle and start raising it back to vertical it freaks out. But yes I love the Crane 2, in my opinion it is the best one hand gimbal out there not only as a unit but also as a system because there are a lot of accessories out there for this. I can't wait to see what will come next from them.

[@luminari_productions]

Interesting so there are "two" follow focus models now?

[@DimplePoji]

Dude, I trust your videos more than those other KZbinrs that in recent months are talking about how good the Ronin is and yet all they mainly do are product reviews and no actual hours spent on filmmaking!!! Yah I know, this vid is talking about the crane 2...

[@Brad772006]

Nice gear! Love learning about these products.

[@xRaqzH]

the reason its vibrating is because of the weight, yes zhiyun can support the weight of the camera but when you titled in that way or certain angles your putting strain on the motors. I use this for weddings and other client work..im a professional photographer from Northern Ireland. hope this helps.

[@alexandersamoceta]

Great vid! Loved the dog in the end!

[@benjaminadamfilmmaking4654]

9:33 woah its the first time i see this followfocus in action, It looks so nice :o

[@zaichkowsky]

If your gonna use a battery pack or 1dx on it, get the replacment extension plate and you wont have any issues. I shoot with a 1dx and a 24-70 2.8 and have never had issues with balancing or shake.

[@RahulRoy-id5yf]

Nice review..Thanks👍📷

[@5150shirts]

You should send this video to your Canadian buddy Matti so he can learn how to properly operate the Crane 2. Great video like always.

[@jersonona7961]

You have to use the the allen key to tighten the rod. That's why it has holes in it. Do that and you won't have to worry about it getting loose again.

[@Hankersonphotography]

nice video bro....your arsenal of equipment looksawesome.

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Gene, ur vids are of extreme excellence! (Btw, gimbal is vibrating because it’s excited to be working with you.)

[@pvpphotoworks6445]

Yup.very good gimbal.I use it for almost a year now

[@charlesnetzler2262]

Hey, I love your channel, I recently got into video lighting and your channel has amazing content. I was wondering if you would recommend this set up over getting the Zhiyun crane 3? The vibrating is a bit of a worry since I would be shooting weddings. I am guessing its a weight issue and I shoot with the fuji XT2 and XT3. Just wanted to get your feedback and also thank you for the content.

[@premiumparis]

Two handle gimbal are so much easier to use for this kind of setup ! Too bad Feiyutech gave up their old designer, I loved being able to switch from one to two grip handle easilly... The A2000 is still a solid solution for that in my book, but obviously the new designs with 45 degree motor that show the monitor is pretty useful... ended up getting a 5th axis stabilizer that I can grab with two hands :)

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

that handle should go very well with the Ronin S where did you get that HDMI cable so thin??

[@eatermckinnon4644]

gave you some love on your LUTS package. take care!!

[@brandonricketts1762]

Didn't even notice the big dog had 3 legs until I looked closely and man is he/she a trooper and very inspiring watch. Oh Great Vid by the way currently considering getting a Crane 2 or V2 this helped a lot.

[@raikenraiken9169]

Im here again for your video!

[@Minorock93]

you should change the strength of the motors to prevent that vibrations, i had the same thing with my crane plus/a6300 , motors were set to strong then i lowered to medium and no more vibrations . Simply because the camera wasn't heavy enough to use all that motor strength

[@W93h3753mwesley]

Peeps, I have a 77d with a 35-135mm. And it would vibrate on medium. I set it to low and it worked. For being that tall with the battery grip, you have to unscrew the tilt axis until you can jerk the arm past the notch and bring the arm down to flush. Orrrrr....you can buy the gravity mount or extension they released. If you can manage a cage, you can mount the servo off that.

[@chheeesh1484]

what would you reccomend me getting for my gh5 and ninja V idk if this dual grip is that good are there better ones? i also have the servo but having same problems with getting loose

[@savageshutter7211]

like that lut

[@allenyin5458]

Wow, this looks amazing. Have you tried other products by Zhiyun?

[@JohnLRice]

Welcome to WA state! ;-) I've been researching gimbals lately, for either a Canon M5 mirrorless or maybe C100 Mk2 but, I'm leaning towards just a small gimbal for the M5 since I worry that my old weak Mr. Burns arms couldn't handle a gimbaled C100 for more than 5 minutes! ;-) Thanks for the video!

[@designmediaconsultants2867]

Potato Jet is a geniououss - very cool

[@RobbScholarTube]

sweet video always on point

[@maximwestermann]

Great video mate, just thinking about buying the Crane 2. May I ask what seamless ring you use on the Sigma 18-35? Cheers!

[@helderophoto]

Select (high) on "motor" options in your gimbal, to stop shaking.

[@EmoEmu]

I might be mistaken but the vibration dance sounds like what Panasonic described when they made the GH5s (with no stabilization). Your issue is due to your lens being stabilized. That introduces tiny vibrations that the gimbal then tries to correct which makes the lens IS try to fire up even more. You end up with a rig that vibrates as two forms of stabilization fight each other.

[@EmoEmu]

When it does that turn off the lens stabilization and see if it stops. And try running it without lens stabilization - you'll get no vibration fits if my theory is correct.

[@geeseeoh]

Great review. Did you figure out what is causing the vibration? I plan to buy one in next coming weeks. But worried about the vibration. This is the first review i have seen it. Thanks

[@Al69BfR]

Isn‘t the slow motion also „smoothing“ some of the unwanted movements? To really show the stabilization of the gimbal without an image stabilizating lens I would prefer videos at normal speed. 🙂

[@Luiscameraman]

This video is COOL!

[@b2dgmedia210]

Great content as always! If you haven't already bought a synthetic roller for the right side of your dog, would you be open to one?I feel like it would alleviate any potential stress your dog has because he has to compensate the left side of this body.

[@peichu4024]

Wow i cant believe you made the C200 work!

Nice bro ...love your content 🤩🤩🤗😎

[@VinnieChu]

Did you just start using this gimbal? I filmed with it in Japan for 2 weeks on a 5D set up. I loved the footage and got buff arms!

[@ShotByStyles]

The batteries are why I went with dji my ronin m and s last for days without charging I really think its preference on your choice of stabilizers. I have never had battery issues and I have had my ronin m for over three years maybe you just had a faulty battery.

[@fabiogalizia1148]

could you link the follow focus that you use with cinema lens?

[@simongentry]

i'm totally going to try my 1dx mk ii my RED epic-w and my new Sony pxw-z280 camcorder !!! i'm stoked !!!

[@ElectricPictureCo]

OK, I don't normally comment but: You owned my attention when you put the C100MKII on there....and I haven't watched the damn segment yet. You're a great V-Logger. Nice work. Dan.

[@CheeseOnEverything]

would u be able to get your hands on a dji ronin s and do a comparison? Really looking into getting a gimbal for the dslr but dunno which one to get. I like the crane 2 and it's smaller size but it has those nodding issues. The ronin S seems to do everything slightly better, but I don't want to carry that huge case around when traveling...first world problems...

[@CoveringFish]

Ronin s has no issues with the 1dx once u get it balanced. Other than doing that infinite roll. Also no vibration issue

[@michaelfrymus]

I dont have this gimbal, but the Moza Air. I need a follow focus. Where did you get this one? Will i be able to use it with my gimbal somehow? Any other wireless followfocus I could use with my Sony camera?

[@kelvinjayaram1521]

Santa Monica seems like a KZbinrs paradise. There are so many things to film there

Are we just going to pretend your hair didn't magically change from one scene to the next? Super transition 😁

[@simongentry]

possibly the best review of the crane 2 - ty - what do you think of the crane 3 vs the ronin s?

[@kallek771]

Btw that follow focus mounting "pipe" can be tighten with for ie screwdriver, that's why there's hole in middle of pipe. You get it so tight it can't opened by hand.

[@blazintommydblazintommyd4416]

That part isn't the problem, the problem is the mini-rod that attaches to the part to which you refer

[@WeShootFilms]

what type of power cable does it use

[@reggiebarnes26]

Nice setup. Can you send me the link for the handle and the monitor

[@walijumaat2158]

Seal the thread of the rod by installing a proper size o-ring to the thread of the screw, then screw it in tighly after that you would not have a loose rod issue anymore i think..
