Not only does this save you time by allowing you to do more than one thing at once, it also captures the bridge at slightly different times so the lighting and water flow will be different allowing you to choose the better clip for your YouTube video.
As we said though, there are a number of uses for this feature and you will know how to best implement it into your needs.
The intelligent object tracking feature on the Crane Plus is one of our favorite features on the gimbal and we feel that the vast majority of the people who invest in the Crane Plus will use it at some point. Additionally, to our knowledge, at the time of writing, no other gimbal at this price point in the market offers a similar feature either.
On top of that, the higher price point gimbals on the market that do offer a tracking feature are not as efficient as the tech in the Crane Plus. The Crane Plus uses the sixth generation of Zhiyuns instune algorithm system to offer the very best computing to balance your camera rig when in use. Not only is it very quick to activate the motors but it is also very sensitive and can detect a change in position down to 0. This ensures that no matter what you are using the gimbal for, you are getting some of the best possible image stabilization on the market, especially at this price point.
Additionally, the actual motors in the Crane Plus have been overhauled when compared to previous generations of the Zhiyun range. Not only are the motors in the Crane Plus able to support more weight but they also require less power when doing so. Although improvements to the battery system are also responsible, the upgrades to the motor are one of the reasons the battery life of the Crane Plus is so much better than that of the Crane v2.
Until recently, entry-level gimbals would struggle to support the weight of a decent DSLR camera and would often fail to provide any solid image stabilization during use. Thankfully though, the recent advancements in gimbal motors are making this a thing of the past. The Canon EOS 1d in the image above comes in at around 2. You then have to factor in additional accessories such as a lens and a microphone that can easily bring the payload up to around the 4-pound mark.
With the 5. To our knowledge, the Zhiyun Crane Plus is the first entry-level gimbal stabilizer on the market that is able to fully support the weight of many professional camera rigs and still provide the user with some excellent image stabilization during use. That said, there is one drawback of the gimbal having such a high payload that we have seen people report and that is that their arm starts to cramp up when using the gimbal for extended periods of time.
To counter this, we would recommend that you consider picking up a decent dual handle grip Click here to check for product prices and availability to allow you to hold the rig with both hands. As most people who purchase an entry-level gimbal like the Crane Plus usually end up using it with some form of a mirrorless camera, it is safe to say that the Crane Plus will easily support your camera rig and provide excellent image stabilization for you. Now, as we mentioned back at the start of this section, the Zhiyun Crane Plus actually has a minimum load capacity that it requires to provide you with accurate image stabilization and that is at least 0.
As most smartphones and action cameras on the market right now come in between 0. Thankfully though, if you really do want to use your Crane Plus with your smartphone or action camera there is a way to get them working together. You would have to pick up some gimbal counterweights Click here to check for product prices and availability to increase the weight of your action camera or smartphone. We would recommend the type with the strap that we linked so you can attach them to your device rather than the screw-on ones as it makes your life a little easier when mounting the weights to your phone or action camera.
They can usually be added to your action camera without issue but your smartphone can be a bit of a pain. The easiest way to add the weights to your phone is to up a short charging cable for your phone and then mount the weights to them before tieing the charging cable to secure them in place.
Now, as you can see, this is a bit of a faff around but like we said in the previous section, the Zhiyun Crane Plus was primarily designed to work with mirrorless cameras whilst also being able to support the weight of a DSLR camera too. Although this simple design is common in this day and age, back in the day, Zhiyun was one of the first companies to release a comfortable gimbal handle that allowed full control of the gimbal with just the thumb.
Over the years, they have perfected this via various tweaks resulting in the gimbal handle we see today on the Crane Plus. The Four-way stepless joystick on the control system is very responsive and easy to use.
If your thumb is wet or cold the joystick still responds to your touch without issue ensuring you have optimal control of your gimbal no matter the conditions. Although additional functionality for various Panasonic and Sony cameras is supported when they are mounted to the Zhiyun Crane Plus, you will have to ensure that your camera body has been updated to the latest version of firmware for optimal functionality.
These additional functions include zooming and focusing functionality as well as a number of other small functions. Additionally, there are a number of guides online to provide this functionality to other camera bodies but we would not recommend it as it can void your warranty for both the gimbal and your camera. It is based around the tried and tested 3 axis gimbal design that has dominated the handheld gimbal market for years now.
This allows you to easily upgrade to the Crane Plus from another gimbal and see a ton of similarities between it and your previous gimbal. That said though, if you are looking to purchase your very first gimbal then this is an excellent product to start with.
The balancing procedure for the Crane Plus is also very easy and can take less than a minute to complete once you have had a little practice. This ensures that your gimbal has been calibrated to work optimally with the weight of your specific camera rig and that its motors are working optimally.
Additionally, having the gimbal calibrated to your specific camera weight can also help to increase battery life as the motors will be working optimally. The build quality of the Crane Plus is just as you would expect from a Zhiyun, excellent.
The materials that have been used are high-quality and it has resulted in a lightweight gimbal unit that is surprisingly robust and small. One of the main problems with the older generations of the Zhiyun gimbal range was that they could be pretty limiting if you wanted to use longer lenses on them. Although a few third party support bars were available for the Crane v2, they were a pain to use.
Thankfully, the Crane Plus uses a offers detachable lens support to help increase performance when using a longer lens as part of your camera rig. We have already touched on the intelligent object tracking the functionality of the gimbal under the performance section of this article and the video in that section shows just how good the tech is.
