Zhiyun Crane 4 - Pros and Cons Review (One Big Problem)

Is this large gimbal Zhiyun Crane 2S Successor? Could this Crane4 be the best gimbal for large mirrorless cameras in 2023? In this video I compare the Crane 4 with Weebill 3S and hint at some difference between Crane 2S. With a proper arm length, this Zhiyun can finally compete with DJI RS3 and RS 3 Pro. There are pros and cons of this gimbal you need to know. Watch until the end for more sample footage.

I like that it comfortably works with a BMPCC 6k pro. And honestly, that's all I'd need it to do.

Great tutorial Mr. Park. My Crane 4 just delivered today, and I am enjoying the comparison difference between it and my Crane 3. Thank you for the tips. I am using it for an upcoming wedding, and your tips will help me overcome a few obstacles.

Great Video Dude! It was nice Meeting you yesterday at the B&H Expo definitely I gotta drive down to D.C. for an episode!!!

9:52 That Inverted Low Angle Tilt Up shot is so important to me whenever I have to film dance videos. Thanks for bringing this up. It’s a shame they don’t have any Nato rail attachments on the sides, because the inverted mode is really annoying with one handle especially for longer shooting.

[ToonTVDerek]

Damn I was so excited for this gimbal but as someone who primarily shoots dance the low angle problem is a deal breaker 😔 thanks for the heads-up!

Hey hey Se-Se! I’m still on my DJI Osmo 6, but it’s always good to watch your reviews in case I feel like spending the rent money on stuff I personally don’t need (ie the Onion dolly rail I never used). I have a loft full of such items 😂.

[MikeBSalazar]

those are pretty solid solutions to that achilles heel. great review Se!

[burgosbrand]

First time watching your video and I can tell you’re good at this. No fluff. Just well spoken and knowledgeable.

[PaulFeinberg]

i don't have any hands-on experience with this product but I think it would be better if the it lost the fill light or it was optional. Great review though - very useful.

With your 24-70/Sony combo
Do you feel like it lasts an entire 8 hr wedding day?
I’ve found that my weebil 3 handles amazing on either end of the lens. But around the 5 hr mark it’ll go from full power to 2 bars then the last 3hrs I’m always worried. Considering buying a power bank that can at least get me back to 3 lines of battery while I’m eating lol

What's the name of the product holding the Ace Pro attached to the second handle? Please give a description. i have ordered mine already, crane 4E

[GREATINDIANVIVAH]

Hey, what will you suggest for beginner cinematographer, dji rs3 pro or crane 4??

[RB-wivu]

Hi Se Park. I have to buy a stabilizer for the bmpcc 6k Pro to use with the Tokina Cinema 16-28 zoom and the Tokina Cinema 50-135. I'm undecided between Zhiyun 3S Pro and Zhiyun Crane 4. Which one do you recommend? Thank you very much.

[gopolarisstudio]

Does Panasonic communicate with the CrNe 4?

[art-rider]

Hello friend! Can I ask you one question? What products should I buy for F38 Quick Releases? Is there a CRANE4 exclusive product on the market?
