Technology is advancing rapidly giving us access to some amazing new gear helping to make our videos even better! I recently got to test out the Zhiyun crane 2, one of the leading and most recognised motorised stabilisers in the game. in this video i give my opinion on the crane 2 and discuss weather it is worth getting a gimbal.

@Benn TK Come to India mate. I think you have a lot of fans here. I’m definitely in the front.
I cant wait to come to india! Hopefully we can meet!
Dude, you are SUCH an awesome editor, and this gimbal has been reviewed a trillion times; what hasn’t been reviewed a trillion times is how to edit like you do….please do advanced After Effects tutorials!!!
thanks so much dude! (: i will be working on some soon! (:
Trentham falls? Another epic video. You should do a paid shooting tour. Ill be first in line
it is! how nice is it there! i could be doing that in the future!
I have the sony A7iii too + ronin S. Please i love so much your colorgrading could you share us LUTS
Benn TK canโt wait ! Do you have any ideas when they will be released ? ๐
they are almost ready! once the website is up! (:
Great
The grading is so sick! Love that style!
Seriously! The video itself is just as good ๐
I got the Zhiyun Crane 2 recently and have to say I’m pretty impressed by the performance.
Thank you im glad (:
Awesome review, Iโd love a crane to take my travel videos to the next level
They are very good to have (:
Omg that sound design๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ itโs like Iโm in avatar… do you use a zoom H for your sounds?
all sounds were from the camera itself and a shotgun mic to record footsteps
It’s the only piece of equipment that I’m missing. Soon ๐๐
Lens size?
16 – 35 mm g master (:
Khmer Temple is in the video. ๐โค๏ธ ๐ฐ๐ญ

@Finding Joe and the cropping LOL
@Jiei Do Only so far that will go, I personally hate the jello effect warp produces in shaky footage.
FeiyuTech ak2000
warp stabilizer)))))
Best filmmaker ๐ฅ…i ๐ your style
Haha thank you! (:
Please make a lut and sell it to us
I have a Crane v2 (not Crane 2). It has not autofocus but works fine! Do you know if Crane 2 manage the autofocus also with Fujifilm cameras? Or only Pana and Sony? Thanks Benn, nice video, ad usual!
I was literally watching vids like this 2 days ago! 2 days too late ;)!!
Hahah damn it! If only i knew haha! ๐
Which camera do you have?
Is that Trentham Falls dude? I proposed to my now wife there, looks very familiar!
Great shots, I have the smooth q modded to hold my G7X mk2, love the Zhiyun price and quality!
Sick intro..Amazing,..
Please share ur LUT/color grading tutorials.. ur grades are so good
I’ve never used a gimbal, I’m more old school even if I’m just 15 yo. So my tool is the glidecam.
Of course the learning curve take more time but I personally feel the glidecam smoother than a gimbal!
But would love to try a gimbal, it’s always good to know how to use different tools ๐
Really cool work!)
Do u use manual focus all time?
Awesome
You should have been a featured creator at vidcon AU last weekend!
Hahah that would have been awesome! I was going to go anyway, but the tickets were so expensive
Thanks for this video Ben, I actually purchased this gimbal a couple of months ago and gave up after my first use as I couldn’t balance it properly (this is my first gimbal) so think this may have been the motive I needed! P.s if that is trentham falls wow! I have been there several times and only seen it dripping like a tap, looks like I might be on a road trip in the next few weeks and may even take my gimbal!
Super video Benn! Now I’m really undecided between the Crane 2 or the Ronin S…
Watch B&H sales every day…the Crane 2 with follow focus was $499 yesterday. The Crane 2 is awesome for the weight and will only go down in price with 3 new Zhiyun gimbals coming out very soon. The Ronin S looks ok but DJI is slow to come out with their expensive accessories. plus it’s heavier than it needs to be.
That’s amazing.
I hope you keeping teaching.
1. This video was so hollllyyyy amazing ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
2. I got the Ronin M and Iโm shooting music videos, do you think Iโm good with the Crane ? And should I switch ?
I didn’t know Avatar 2 was already out
Benn you should start a Patreon I’d love to donate to you, you are more than deserving for the quality of content you produce!
Dear Mr Benn. What lenses do you usually use to make a video?
SICK
Wooh! (:
We need an after effects tutorial ๐
Love the vibe of the intro!
my zhiyun crane plus..still in practice
More TUTS pleaee!!!!!!!!!!!!! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ผ
I have zhiyun smooth Q for my GoPro, the crane 2 : so expensive
You are awesome! If you can upload a lot of video to YouTube, you will get millions Subscribe fast !!!
5:04 beautiful temple
I just love your personality. You’re insanely talented and you use it for the best. I’ve learnt a lot from you. Also I think we both are big Illenium fans.
Question do you use auto focus when getting your shots or do you manual focus and set it to infinity
Usually always auto focus, uless i have to go manual
Hey man, could u help me?
How does this motion blur speed works? Is there a tutorial on youtube?
I mean this one from ur video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A30IuIjQYYg&t=111s / at 01:58 or 02:46!
How can I make these speed + blur?
<<3
question,
for your trips to thailand, did you always use the gimbal?
how do you know when you want to use the gimbal when the environment is not ideal?
for hyperlapses mainly?
thanks benn!
Heya, thanks you so much for the video.
Will u able to put the location on the title . Coz it will be great to let pp know that Victoria have many amazing place to visit
Hey ben,
What the best resolutions settings do you use on every your cinematic videos with your sony alpha ?
Love that gimbal!
i love your videos and i have been watching you for so long im now in Melbourne if you even need someone to film with you are anything at all ping me up my Instagram @dinakardanny
Hai gimbalku
Nice!
Ben do you use ND Filters or Polarizer?
thanks for this advice!
Crane or dji
๐๐๐
Omg thats trentham falls! I live 10 minutes from there its a hidden gem ๐ ๐๐ป
love vdeo
could you give me the link for your sound effects??
Nice and helpful video Benn!! I just wanna ask what laptop and camera do you use beside this gimbal, and for a beginner filmmaker what camera should I use? Thank you TK!
Nice video!! What is your PC setup for edit your shots?
Serious question, do you actually find the gimbal easy to set up and use? or is that because you’ve been working with gimbals for a while?
It’s like riding a bike. Once you know how, it’s easy.
If you use one for the first time it is hard to figure out, but once you know how to balance it it become very easy
The only thing that irritates me with it is; it erases the settings everytime you turn it off. You have to reconnect it to your phone & launch the app. Sometimes you apply your saved preset for it and it doesnt work, but you might not realize for a bit. Still a pound lighter than the DJI one though
Hey Benn! Your work has become absolutely incredible over the last couple of years. You inspire every day to improve my film making. I was wondering what kind of gear you are using currently as Iโm looking to upgrade to a full frame some time soon. Awesome work bro!
crane 2 is a beast , just filmed 2 testclips (indoor and outdoor) and i’m really impressed!
you have to practice a lil bit for really smooth looking footage but after some days you’ll be able to get some good footage
thumbs up Benn TK !
I use the Crane 2 with a 1dx ii on it. It’s a pretty solid gimbal, but the 1dx ii is a bit too big for it in my opinion, it still gets the job done, but the bottom of the camera hits the gimbal every now and then do to the camera’s height. Keep crushing bro!
Can you post your gear please..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqLIoGkZHTU
do u know he took ur footage?
Always thought to have a gimbal! This made me more adamant buying one! Discovered your channel literally just now after trying to get inspirations , as I’ve just started my own 2 days ago! YOUR CHANNEL LOOKS EPIC! Gosh! I hope you have tutorials to everything that you do! Keep being awesome! Thank you!
hello my friends are vietnamese
you free to the channel you see the beautiful tourist attractions in Vietnam support yourself 1 sub
thank you
Have fun watching your videos
2:44 man i thought the camera would be completely ruined if that happened to it, nop?
I love your videos ๐ hope to see you soon on the next Tket Project Phillipines.
I just bought the Zhiyun Crane V2 (a bit smaller and cheaper than the Crane 2) to use it in combination with the sony a6300 and i have to say that i’m not dissapointed. The only downside of it is, that it isn’t working with heavier cameras. but if you own a light camera, like the a6300 is, it is definetely a cheaper choice than the Crane 2.
The V2 does work with heavier cameras like my A7Riii, but then your lens choice becomes very limited due to the V2’s weight limits. I’m upgrading my V2 to a 2 because of it.
Hey can u just let me Know where u got the background music for this video
I like your colorgrading

Cheers and thanks for the advice!
Just a question: Do you find the design of the Zhiyun obstructs the live view screen when you are filming?
It does obstruct sometimes, but it’s just something I’m used to now
I’m your big fan but I still go with ronin S
Benn TK where i can get that out bro?
love this vid – very inspirational – I want to visit this Waterfall – where is this in Victoria?
what is the frame rate in this video? Thank you
great video man, what’s the drone you’re using ?
where is that?? that place is awesome 5:06
5:03 assassins creed??
Long time photographer since 1975. Looking to upgrade my video capability by using an older Hard drive based camcorder a Sony DCR SR200 at 1.1 pounds, released about 2007. Do not laugh, I like it’s HD results on my 55 inch TV better than a new model I tried a year ago, which I returned to Amazon because its video quality was not as good at the older Sony. I think the new video codecs compress the video too much.
I own two Nikon D700 bodies (12MP FX circa. 2009), which do not have video capability. As an older guy at 57, cameras are for photos, camcorders are for video, and never the twain shall meet!
Anyhow, I have begun investigating gimbals, and found this Zhiyun Crane 2 review, however, this review covers the modes of use (pan follow, full follow, lock mode, point of view mode, and selfie mode (I get that one), in a mere 10 seconds or about 2 seconds per mode) with no explanation which mode does what (not a good intro for us video novices).
Can anyone elaborate on these modes?
Great review man! Straight to the point. Also dope color correcting.
Nice video! But I prefect to use AK2000. It has a touch dispaly and multifuntional knob. It is very useful for me to make a vlog.
hi, i was wondering if you would like yo try http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ML3G5D9 . would like to send you for free, if any interest, please email me AT lrboommy@gmail.com
I want to buy a larger weighing stabilizer. Do you have any good recommendations?
I have one and absolutely love it, but I was always scared about wet conditions and things like this. Iโd never shoot in the pouring rain, but itโs good to know itโs quite durable! Thank you Been. ๐
Awesome review Benn. I am looking at purchasing a mirrorless camera at the end of the year as well as a Gimbal. This one has a simplicity that I like about. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
You have better color video in all this world
not worth it
The video pictures you took are so exquisite!!
Can you ad a Mic to the camera at the same time?
ๅคช็ไบ
Great stuff mate ๐๐ป I just purchased the Zhiyun Crane 1 from eBay $290 AUD and now doing my research about these great Gimbals. I am happy to now be a subscriber of a fellow Aussie and looking forward to sharing videos with you. Cheers from Outback country Wild Wester Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
Crane 2 vs weebill s ? Which one you would take?
