  • ZHIYUN Crane (Grip & Mount)
  • 3600mAH Battery x2
  • Battery Charger
  • Remote
  • Data Cable x2
  • Stabilizer Extension

Overview:

Smaller, more lightweight, the CRANE-M2 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from Zhiyun-Tech is designed for compact cameras, smartphones, and action cams up to 1.58 lb. (An optional mounting accessory is required for attaching action cams.) The compact design allows you to maneuver your camera more freely and for longer periods. It’s also easier to pack up with you and carry, whether nearby or when traveling. This aside, the CRANE-M2 provides the standard features that have made gimbals such a revolutionary addition to the world of camera supports.

Key Features:

  • Compact, more lightweight design for compact cameras, smartphones, and action cams up to 1.6 lb (an action cam mount is sold separately)
  • 360° pan, 310° tilt, and 324° roll rotation
  • 7-hour runtime on a built-in battery
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • ZY Play iOS/Android app
  • Special app features such as time-lapse, panorama, and slow-motion capture
  • OLED display
  • One-button quick release camera mounting system
  • Scale marks and memory locks for balancing

Six Modes of Operation:

PF Mode

 

  • The camera pans as you turn the gimbal left and right. This feature is useful for hyperlapse capture and for traveler footage.

F Mode

 

  • The camera will follow the gimbal handle’s movements.

L Mode

 

  • The camera direction is locked so you won’t miss a shot in any situation.

POV Mode

 

  • The Crane-M2 offers full-range POV mode, which allows for 360° synchronous movement on all three axes. Instead of leveling off during motion, the camera will remain locked in position no matter which way or how far you move the gimbal, allowing for true POV shots.

Vortex Mode

 

  • Vortex mode gives you the freedom to perform cinematic 360° barrel shots in all dimensions.

GO Mode

 

  • Performs fast pan and tilt motions for dramatic action shots.

  • DJI Ronin-M
  • Rai Cover
  • Manual
  • Data Cable
  • Gimbal Remote
  • Charger
  • Frame Pieces
  • Mounting Plates x 2 w/ bolts
  • Backpack Carrier

Overview:

The Ronin-M 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from DJI is a camera stabilization system designed to give the operator close to the freedom of unencumbered handheld shooting but without the hand-shake. Suitable for most camera types and configurations up to 8 pounds, the Ronin-M uses brushless motors that work on three axes: one for side-to-side “roll” (keeping the horizon level), one for tilt, and one for pan. The system is computer-controlled and features a tilt range of 105° up / 165° down plus a roll range of ±110°. Furthermore, the system boasts a precision of control of ±0.02°, enabling precise camera moves and stability correction against even very fine movements. In addition to handheld shooting, the gimbal can be used in vehicle mounting scenarios and other contexts where vibrations or other abrupt movements would make tripods and rigid camera support systems unsuitable.

For Cameras Up to 8lbs

  • The Auto Configuration feature means the Ronin-M can adapt to a range of camera sizes, and is ideally suited for compact video cameras, mirrorless cameras, and DSLRs. It is suitable for payloads up to 8 pounds.

Smooth Track Control

  • SmoothTrack gives a single gimbal operator the ability to translate their tilt and pan movements of the gimbal into smooth and stabilized movements of the camera’s angle. This is designed to make framing of broad wide-angle scenes or even shooting in close quarters much easier during single gimbal operator use.

Auto Configuration

  • After balancing the camera with a simple tap of the ATS (Auto Tune Stability) button, Ronin-M will be automatically tuned for the mass and weight distribution of your camera rig. The gimbal will intelligently adjust parameters based on the camera rig’s weight and independently adjust each of the three axes until an optimal setting is found.

3 Operation Modes

  • Upright Operation Mode: Upright Mode allows the gimbal to be flipped over so the camera can be operated closer to eye level without straining to lift the gimbal. This can be used in various situations, such mounting on the top of the vehicle.

 

  • Underslung (Suspended) Operation Mode: Suspended Operation Mode is the standard operation mode for Ronin-M. Low slung, close to the ground, or simply holding the gimbal in front of you offers stabilized handheld footage. This mode would also be used when mounted the gimbal on a flying platform such as a multirotor RC helicopter.

 

  • Briefcase Mode: When a slimmer gimbal profile is needed in situations like moving through doorways or narrow paths Briefcase Mode is ideal. It allows the gimbal to be held to the side and close to the legs, much like a briefcase.

Second Operator Control

  • Featuring the form factor of an RC aircraft radio controller, the 2.4 GHz Ronin transmitter provides pan and tilt control as well user-assignable speed settings and operation modes via two toggle switches. This allows one operator to hold the gimbal assembly while a second manually controls camera movement remotely. If you would rather use a third-party transmitter a D-bus port is provided as well.

Optional Thumb Controller for Pan/Tilt

  • Single thumb control is possible for the Ronin-M Handheld Gimbal System. These Pan and Tilt movements are controlled via the optional Thumb Controller attachment, available separately. Additionally, SmoothTrack Mode can be turned on or off using the Thumb Controller interface.

Universal Mounting

  • Beside the handle bars, the gimbal unit can be detached for mounting on jibs, cranes, tripods, vehicle mounts, and other types of camera support equipment (additional mounting hardware, available separately, may be required).

Silent Mode

  • When shooting indoors or in tight spaces, Silent Mode reduces the sound of each motor as low as possible. The Ronin-M’s stabilization algorithms are updated to focus on minute changes and stabilization, helping ensure the sound of the motors is not recorded by sensitive microphones or other recording equipment.
