I bought one of these Gimbal few days ago and had a difficulty of balancing it. I was in process of sending it back till watched your video. After
watching your video within few minutes I was able to balance my Gimbal.
Thanks Mark for creating this flawless video.

Having owned a gimbal for my M50 I can actually say there's a long long way to go before they are user friendly and you no longer need a degree in physics to balance A good video all the same 👍👍👍

Many thanks for posting this. Just got the M2S and have seen tons of reviews, one attempt at a setup tutorial (which was more focused on a GoPro) and even reached out to Zhiyun for help. This made the most sense I finally was able to get mine balanced. Cheers!

Thank you for this video! I watched it a few times before getting the hang of it. You have broken it down well from the start to the finish.

Thank you so much for this video! I was definitely feeling overwhelmed with my first gimbal, balancing was never quite right but you've explained it perfectly for me.

Balanced mine easily following this. A6400 with 16-50oss works great on it.

From the bottom of my you for making this video 🙏

[matts]

Thank you for the tutorial! This is my first gimbal and I love it! Works well with old Sony a6000.

You are the best, many thanks from Russia.

The grey Switch for the 2nd axis part on your M2S is different than mines. I can’t tighten it because the body of my Sony A6400 is in the way. In your video, you turned the grey switch down and to the side to tighten and on mines it faces up and to the side which bumps into the body of my camera.. I don’t know if I’m making sense but I don’t know what I can do, can anyone help?

My gimbal arrives tomorrow and like always I come to see you. Doubt I'll be balancing it in 60 seconds, but great tips as always.

Thanks i love it has longer battery lif than the crane 3 almost Doble

[XeoN-PL]

This video is better than the official one...

[pottered_popo]

I'm using the same camera and lens, but whenever I place it on the gimbal, the image looks crooked, minor thing but any adjustments to the axis doesn't fix it

[babylion]

Great video! One question tough, do you have to do the balancing every time you use the gimbal (let's say put it in the box and use it again)?

[Mrs.Vodkaa]

Awesome video, but can the crane m2s balance with sony a6400 and sigma 16mm f1.4? Thanks alot ❤❤❤

[founderlive]

What about setting up the camera in portrait mode?

[DarrenM]

Thank you. Mine just arrived and can't wait to go test it.

[Clipscharly]

Can I also place a camcorder on this gimbal, for example the Sony FDR AX53 thank you for your response

[jasonderulo]

Thank you so much for this video. It helps me a lot.
