Zhiyun Crane V2 - 3 Axis Gimbal

Jase · 18 Aug 2017 at 12:37

Before I press the buy button does anyone use a Zhiyun Crane V2 and if so how good is it? does it work OK with a DSLR (Nikon D810 size)? I'll want to use both my DSLR and Fuji X-T2 on it (or anything else I decide to buy..)

Any other recommendations?

Thanks

Check out the Nebula Slant if you want to use a DSLR.

Thanks Raymond, I've just checked that out and could be an option. I'm going to see what the confirmed specs of the D850 and make my decision based on that but fully expect to be using the gimbal with that asap.

It seems none are perfect but this seems the best.

I want one that has a short handle, with feet, button on the back with LCD and don't block the camera LCD with quick release plate that is tool less.

Is it that much to ask?

Apparently so

I've pre-ordered a D850 now so I think I'll give the Nebula a go, I'll let you know how I get on with it when I've tested it out properly.

Please, I am thinking of getting one for Japan, crossing the Shinjiku crossing footage would be much better with a gimble but I need to work out which one I should get.
