Zhiyun-Tech Crane v2 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer
Professional 360° Motorized Camera Stabilization – Ready-to-Shoot Core Kit
The Zhiyun Crane v2 is a benchmark 3-axis motorized gimbal stabilizer designed to transform handheld DSLR and mirrorless camera footage into fluid, cinema-grade video. Engineered with high-performance automotive-grade electronic motors running 32-bit triple-MCUs, the Crane v2 effortlessly counteracts physical tremors, panning jolts, and operator footsteps. It provides continuous 360-degree rotation along all three axes—pan, tilt, and roll—granting filmmakers total creative freedom over their camera movements.

Constructed from rugged, lightweight aluminum alloy, this classic workhorse features an integrated 5-way joystick control panel on the handle handle and supports long-range wireless fine-tuning via Bluetooth. This bundle is ready for immediate production work and includes essential power cells, a dedicated charger, an absolute quick-release plate, and a fitted hardshell travel case.

Please note: This kit includes the core operating components but DOES NOT include mini tripod feet.

Key Features & Cinema Stabilization Architecture
Continuous 360° Axis Rotation: Advanced slip-ring technology across all three motorized joints enables the gimbal to rotate a full 360 degrees without limitation on the pan, tilt, and roll axes, unlocking creative transitions and infinite barrel roll perspectives.

Pro-Grade Payload Compatibility: High-torque motors effortlessly stabilize mid-to-large mirrorless and compact DSLR camera configurations up to 3.9 pounds, making it a reliable utility option for standard video set-ups.

Instinctive 5-Way Handle Joystick: The ergonomic handle features an integrated 5-way analog joystick that allows for manual control over camera framing speeds and fluid positional panning on the fly.

Toolless Balance Adjustments: Designed with a convenient tool-free mounting architecture. Thumbscrews along the sliding axis arms allow you to balance your camera rig in minutes without requiring hex keys or screwdrivers.

Bluetooth App Optimization: Equipped with an on-board Bluetooth transmitter that pairs with the ZY Play companion mobile app (iOS/Android) to manage remote camera tracking, calibrate axis parameters, adjust response speeds, and execute custom time-lapses.

Dual-Fuel Battery Performance: Powered by two heavy-duty rechargeable lithium-ion cells that fit securely into the handle chassis, combining to deliver up to 10 to 12 hours of dependable operating runtime.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Christopher M. ★★★★★

Setup was surprisingly straightforward for a first-time gimbal user, and the balance stayed locked even after a full day of hiking. The 360° motorized pan handles quick tracking shots without any jitter, which is exactly what I needed for event coverage.

Daniel ★★★★★

The setup was surprisingly quick—I had it balanced and running in under ten minutes. The motors are smooth and quiet even when tracking a moving subject, and the battery lasted through a full afternoon of shooting.

Emma ★★★★★

The 360° motorized rotation is what sold me—I can spin the camera in full circles without any jitter, even during fast pans. Setup took maybe ten minutes out of the box and the balance held steady through a whole afternoon shoot. Exactly the smooth footage I was hoping for.
