Zhiyun-Tech Crane v2 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer
Professional 360° Motorized Stabilization Matrix with Upgraded 3.9 lb Payload Capacity
The Zhiyun-Tech Crane v2 is a high-performance, professional 3-axis handheld gimbal stabilizer engineered to deliver cinema-smooth, fluid tracking shots for DSLR and mirrorless camera systems. This upgraded v2 edition elevates the original Crane design by introducing high-torque motors capable of supporting payloads up to 3.9 lbs—making it an ideal match for popular setups like the Sony a7-series or Panasonic GH-series.

Driven by three 32-bit Motor Control Units (MCUs) running in parallel at a blistering 4000 Hz, the Crane v2 offers full 360° rotation across all three axes for unlimited creative movement. With tool-less balancing, a tactical 4-way joystick, and massive battery endurance, this gimbal transforms handheld camera shake into seamless, cinematic storytelling.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Claire Q. ★★★★★

I was worried my heavier lens setup would be too much, but the 3.9 lb payload capacity handles it without breaking a sweat. The 360° motorized stabilization on all three axes keeps my footage incredibly smooth even when I’m walking fast.

Ellie ★★★★★

I shoot concerts with a Sony a7III and a 24-70mm lens, and this gimbal's 3.9 lb payload handles the rig perfectly without any motor strain. The 360° stabilization on all three axes keeps my pans buttery smooth even during fast crowd movements.

Adam ★★★★★

The extra 3.9 lb payload makes a huge difference, I can finally balance my heavier lens without fiddling for ages. Took it out on a windy shoot and the 360° motors kept every shot buttery smooth, even during quick pans. Worth every penny for the stability alone.
