Zhiyun's Crane Plus: A Camera Gimbal Tutorial and Demo

[@NotesOnHobbies]

Great video, unbelievable that it's got less than 1k views. Should be more! Nice job!

[@Infosmercial]

Just as long as people watch it is good enough for me. Thanks for checking it out! 👍

[@agepbiz]

Great video! It looks like an awesome product. You should include a product link in the description

[@carlosjosejimenezbermudez9255]

Really good product!

[@kellykilgour]

Very helpful video! How did you rebalance the tilt axis with the phone mount? The phone prevents the camera from going all the way back to that the lens points totally upward.

[@Infosmercial]

In this case I just got the best balance I could get and powered it back on and hoped it worked. The crane plus can handle quite a bit which is nice.

[@kellykilgour]

@@Infosmercial Thank you!

[@evanro2396]

Part about the clones cracked me up. "Whoa! How'd you do that??"

[@Infosmercial]

Yeah just a fun little bit! Now if only those clones would get to work making more videos...

[@TheRCPenguin]

Thanks for the overview of these features! Do you know if the Smart Follow and Motion Memory were added to the Crane V2 as well?

[@Infosmercial]

Yes I believe both of those features are compatible with the v2. All that is required is the ZY Play app.

[@danielgross8766]

Does the phone have to be mounted on top or could you have a side mount for follow? Also, can the phone screen be facing the subject? Thanks!

[@AlessandroGiordani]

Just a question... is this a 2018 update version? When was it announced first? Is there a previous 2017 Plus model? Thanks

[@Infosmercial]

This is the same Crane Plus that was announced and released in 2017. As of yet, there is no 2018 version.

[@kilbsy]

Does this gimbal power the camera like crane 2? Also is the speed adjustable for motion memory?

[@Infosmercial]

No it does not supply power. While the speed isn’t a direct parameter, by changing the duration of the same movement, you are able to essentially adjust how fast the movement is.

Hey, thanks for the great video! Question for you. I just got the Crane Plus few days ago and I've been trying all day to use the motion time lapse without any success. I have a Sony A6000 with latest firmware and the ZY App. Not sure if it's my phone's fault or what's going wrong but everytime I try to setup the timelapse it doesn't start, or it starts at a weird angle or it starts and stops. And when I try to set it up again I have to close the app, reopen it, and try again, very frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[@Infosmercial]

Motion time lapse is still considered beta by the company. I have experienced some of those same issues. On the other hand, I have used it with pretty good results too. Using it for night timelapses with stills though where you drag the shutter has been unsuccessful for me.

[@diegocreates2476]

Thanks for the reply Brett. It turns out it's my phone not connecting correctly with it (I have a stupid Motorola). It works great with my wife's iPhone.

[@Infosmercial]

That’s awesome to hear.

[@Infosmercial]

Sounds like you might need to switch to the light side of the force! Haha 🤣 🤓 (nerdy, I know).

[@diegocreates2476]

Lol no thanks :)

[@HiraCloud]

How to clone like that?

[@Infosmercial]

Check out the channel. I recently uploaded a video showing off exactly that!
