Great video. I've used this gimbal with my clients, and honestly they can careless as long as the end results are great.

A6400 with sigma 16 f1.4 works with the crane m2? It weighs 808g, the listed max payload for the crane m2 is 720g. How is that possible? If it works then it's good news as I plan to use a sigma 16 f1.4 as well.

Hi! Would u recommend this gimbal with canon m50 with big lenses such as sigma or 17-50mm lenses? Thanks in advance. I'm looking to buy this or ronin sc, which one is more capable of handling light weight camera with long, zoom lenses such as 17-50mm

Wow never knew the M2 could balance the sony a6500 I might have to give it a go

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Yeah, man! Once I found that out, I honestly didn't care that it stabilizes phones and point n shoot cameras. This will pretty much become our travel gimbal if we are not filming anything serious. For Vlogs, little B-roll sequences, this gimbal does the job well.

[@bensgadgetreviews]

@@DreamDuoFilms hi, may I know what lens you used for the A6500? Do you know if it'll handle a 6500 + sigma 16mm?

[@DreamDuoFilms]

​@@bensgadgetreviews Yes, I recently tried and it is possible to balance sony a6500 with Sigma 16, Can't say it's very practical because the camera has to be quite back almost reaching the motors, but it is possible to balance it!

Ken TOT i don’t think so, but I will test it out in 3-4 days and give you the answer afterwards, hope that’s ok. Sigma 16 and sony 18-105 are roughly the same weight, so I doubt that it will be able to stabilize it, but i will try 😊

Why won't you take it for client work ? not enough stabilized ? Ronin SC better choice ? :) Thanks !

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Sound4Label because I don’t cheat on my bae - Crane 2 and Crane 3. They are the perfect tools for the job. Not a huge fan of ronin due to weight and since the SC is not good in inverted mode, which we use A LOT, it doesn’t really interest me

[@sound4label]

@@DreamDuoFilms Thanks a lot for your feedback, can't wait to know if this M2 will work with my FUJI xT30 + 16mm 1.4 :)

[@ukrainethefuture1101]

I have crane m2 and I bought it from 10 months ago and it’s stopped working suddenly, without any scratching or dropping it , after I contacted zhiyun and because I’m living in Egypt, they said me that their Egyptian agent can fixing it on my cost, or I can send it to their repair center in German and shipping fees on my cost too even the gimbal in warranty period, I’m very disappointed ☹️ and I’m waiting now the report from their Egyptian agent

[@phillystyle445]

I'm thinking about buying this gimbal primarily for use with a phone. Did you have trouble getting it truly balanced with the phone - i.e. was the phone balanced even after powering the gimbal off? Did you try an Android phone? If so, did you have any issues with the Zihyun ZY Play app working with your phone? Did you use another app instead? If so, which one?

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Hey, man! I don't really use the app, I hate using apps when filming, as a run and gun shooter it would only slow me down. Yes, we tried the iphone 11 on this gimbal and balancing was pretty easy, not as easy and with the gimbals which were made only for phones, but the great thing about this gimbal is that you can balance it once and then use the quick release system on it so you won't have to balance your phone twice. I mean, if a stabilised my camera and lens, which was around 700 grams, then balancing a phone will be a piece of cake!

[@phillystyle445]

@@DreamDuoFilms Whatever gimbal I purchase will be my first gimbal. I keep hearing about the benefit of this design when it comes to balancing it once (for a device) and then it's already balanced for future uses. That sounds like a big selling point to me. This gimbal might have more bells and whistles than I really need but I figure if I grow to like shooting with a gimbal I can decide to use dedicated cameras. This way I would not have to buy another gimbal because this one handles multiple types of devices. We'll see. Anyway, I really appreciate the response. Thank you for your impressions.

[@DreamDuoFilms]

@@phillystyle445 Exactly, man. I actually took this gimbal on a trip around Europe and it was so awesome having such a tiny gimbal in your bag, which you can use to not only shoot stuff with your phone, but to do professional work as well. Since the gimbal is lightweigth, it might not be comparable with the bigger boys in the market, but it does the job just fine. We filmed 2 real estate videos with it, a whole 2 day street performance video, you just..can't beat the size! If you have any questions, just let me know! By the way I'd recommend you to rent out the M2 first to see whether you like it or not. That's the best way to find out whether that's the right tool for you and if you decide to purchase the gimbal, you can *Shameless Plug* use the link in the description to get yourself a small discount for the product!

[@tyler7259]

Can you use this gimbal in a sling style? Where the camera is low to ground and gimbal is almost upright? Without the camera being upside down

I have the crane m and this looks m2 is much smaller which I like better. I find the crane m something a pain when I have to balance every time I turn it on with my canon g7x m2. I wonder if the upgrade is worth it.

[@ArifKhan.]

I was really hoping that it would handle the sigma 16mm...but sadly, no. :(

[@DennisMeetsWorld]

It can.....its just over max payload. I was able to balance it with the Sigma 16mm on my A6400 and run with it. So it’ll work if you’re in a pinch but I wouldn’t use it all the time.

[@brosjay8070]

How does this compare to osmo mobile 3 dji I’ve an iPhone 11pro max please price isn’t my problem but performance is

[@DreamDuoFilms]

James Joseph this gimbal will be way more powerful and you will be able to mount lenses on your phone as well. The osmo mobile only balances phones, but as you can see from the video, this gimbal can balance mirrorless cameras as well 😊

[@brosjay8070]

DreamDuo Films thanks for the clarity would be ordering one from amazon

[@brosjay8070]

DreamDuo Films was thinking of getting moza air cross 2. What do you think should I just settle for this I’m not sure if I have plans to go beyond phone camera in the future

[@DreamDuoFilms]

James Joseph hmm, I’d recommend maybe then buying some kind of a cheaper phone stabilizer, maybe the same osmo mobile 3 and just see whether you’re happy with just shooting with your phone or not. Gimbals are quite cheap now, so in the future if you’re planning on using bigger setups, you can buy a decent camera gimbal for ~300 USD

DreamDuo Films okay thanks man, appreciate

[@pavelosipov1394]

When walking and running, it stabilizes poorly. This is also visible on your video.

[@DreamDuoFilms]

Pavel Osipov IBIS was turned off and samyang doesn’t have OS, plus my friend was running almost full speed with it. I think the results are more than fine. Have you ever tried running with a gimbal and with a camera without any stabilization? If so an example would be very much appreciated because it ain’t easy to get smooth shots. Also my friend used the GO mode very much, that should explain why some footage had so much shake I’d highly recommend you to check out STORROR on youtube. They do freerunning and parkour and they absolutely run mad with their gimbals, you will see what I mean by using the GO mode and running full speed with cameras without any Ibis
