For first timers using a gimbal, it's very difficult to start using this gimbal, and this video is too fast and doesnt help.

This video goes through things so quickly. I’ve had to rewind at least 10 times to makes sense of what you’re doing.

Thank you for this video. Like others have said, it's a bit fast so I had to watch several parts multiple times. It's still better than the written manual though. What they should do is make each little screw and knob a different color or something so the instructions can be more like "loosen the blue knob and adjust it."

For people buying this as their first gimbal (which includes me) the mounting and balancing process gets faster after you do it a few times. It's pretty quick and easy after that.

Wow I think you just fixed my music videos dude! Hopefully they blow up now.

I have an odd issue with my crane M2 - after not using it for a few months, I had issues starting it up and the battery light stays on. Luck would have it there is no youtube on my issue and as it is out of warranty I contacted Zhiyun sales in Australia. They gave me a support email that actually went to a support centre in Hong Kong. I was told that there is no service centre in Australia and I would have to pay for sending it to them in HK as well as roughly $80 AUD to get them to look at it and warning that this Gimbal was no longer supported and if they could fix it it would also be the parts but I am looking at a big outlay initially just to have it looked at overseas and then no guarantee. So moral of the story is whatever you buy - check if they have a local service centre as I now feel my best option is to just forget about fixing this gimbal but I will not be buying another Zhiyun as I feel this is a poor setup and it is not as if Australia is a tiny island with a few thousand people - you would think that they could have made some arrangement with some service centres over here. Maybe its a different setup for Europe/UK/US but in Australia there out of warranty service is non existent and I won't be spending another dollar having now a piece of junk that I can't even get looked at locally.

As many others have said, why do you go through everything so quickly? It's supposed to be a how-to... then slow down and explain things thoroughly instead of pretending you're late for an appointment.

I ordered this gimbal a few days ago, and I can't wait to test it.

I was struggling with 6hrs with no so many M2 videos and this video showed me what I need to know!!!! Really appreciate man. Eureka!!! Offline saved!

[OnlyCocoMousse]

Purchased this months ago, Was a little hard to use and adjust to. Then I lost the mount pin for the camera. Just found it Watched ur video again and I’m in love with it.

[FindingTheForce]

Please Help!! I’m using the gimbal with a small shotgun microphone and the gimbal goes into SLEEP mode without any warning. Is it not balanced enough? Too top heavy??

Next: Do a tutorial on how to set up support wheel on a childrens bike.

The part where he's going to smash it should have been a scene added to Squid Games. I keep replaying it. Very funny. Lol. Thanks for the tutorial. Almost forgot why I clicked the vid. "Easy".

[drunkdj]

I bought it, it’s cool but still struggling to operate it. Last week I made some video with it and uploaded my travel channel, it’s really great, but I need to learn more, how it works! Thank you 🙏

[asmru]

Thanks a million! This is just what I needed!! Concise and humorous!

[okramvlogs]

Thanks man, You go into everything that most ppl don't great help, and no you did not go to fast. I was able to pause and go setp by step with you and then go on from there.

After a bit of practice, I found that if I use the same camera all the time (in this case a Lumix LX100), and leave the quick release plate on the Zhiyun, I can simply attach the camera to it, and leave all the axis points where they originally were when first balanced, and only have to adjust the tilt axis a bit. Of course, the camera has to be turned on with the lens out to get the correct balance. I'll then leave the camera attached to the Zhiyun, and can even turn it off with the lens retracted and not have to adjust any axis points or anything for the whole day I'm shooting, whether I turn the camera and/or the Zhiyun, on or off, so long as the thumb screw attached between the camera and quick release plate is good and tight, keeping it in place where it was initially balanced.. When you turn the camera on, it will just dangle, if the Zhiyun is off too. But turn the Zhiyun on, then it straightens out. Did this almost every day when visiting London, England for two and a half weeks recently, and only had to attach and adjust the tilt axis the next day when I put the camera back on, and even then, I only took the camera off in order to change an SD card, or charge the Lumix battery. 
For this particular setup (leaving the camera on the Zhiyun, turning it on and off, etc., and not having to adjust any axis points or reattach anything all day), I carried it around in a soft case, deep enough to contain the camera with Zhiyun attached at an angle. It was a breeze!

This is a great video Sidney! I have just purchased my one last night. Cannot wait to test it out and really see what it's all about. I'll be watching this again when it arrives 🙌🙌

This gimbal makes my DJI mobile 3 feel like Tyco My First Gimbal.

And I love your company ethos and vibe.
