Product Features in Detail

All-in-one control panel
CRANE-M is the first stabilizer in the world that realizes synchronous control of camera thru connection of a dedicated camera control line (currently available for SONY and most Panasonic models). Through the simple-designed control panel on CRANE-M handle, users not only can pan, tilt, and roll the connected camera, but also make zooming, and photo/video shooting controls.

Operating modes
Lock Mode - The three axes will work together so that the camera will stay still as is no matter how the gimbal is moved.
Yaw-Axis Follow Mode -  only Pan Axis movements are followed
Pitch/Yaw-Axis Follow Mode - Tilt Axis and Pan Axis movements are followed
Inverted Mode - by flipping the handle over the camera, the camera is stabilized to record low-angle shots. This can be used with the Follow and the Lock modes.

12-hour operation
Featuring ZHIYUN’s unique 32-bit high-speed MCU parallel control technology, the work efficiency of control motors on all three axes has been greatly improved, thus reducing power consumption during operations. CRANE-M comes standard with 2 pieces of 26500 Li-Ion batteries supporting an extensive working hour of up to 12 hours that it backs up for any challenge you may come upon.

High-integrated control panel
The highly integrated control panel on CRANE-M makes it super easy and convenient to use by putting all available functional controls, such as mode switch, angel adjustment, zooming and photo/video shooting, etc., all within reach of your thumb.

One-minute balance adjustment
CRANE-M supports instant manual mounting & dismounting of camera without need of a screwdriver with fixing thumb screws on all 4 sides. In addition, camera balance adjustment is made much easier on CRANE-M with its unique scale marks + locating slots design on each axis.

Friendly design into details
As a flagship-level product with high compatibility, CRANE-M’s design team, while not overlooking users’ need of frequent change of cameras to tackle different tasks, has to the greatest extent simplify the camera mounting and adjusting operations by adding special scale marks and locating slots along the axes.

1/4" Threaded Hole
The standard ¼” threaded hole at the bottom of CRANE-M offers more flexibility at work allowing various add-ons of photographic equipment and apparatus, such as tripod, extension rod, suction cup, etc., to support in your creative works.
