- Here is an easy way to balance Zhiyun Crane M2S in less then 2 minutes when using a smartphone. Balancing a gimbal may seem tricky at first, but if you follow a few steps it is actually pretty simple and after a couple times you will get pretty quick with it.

Thx Mikus. After watching several videos, yours helped me the most. Well done! Now I have to start learning how to use this thing LOL
That is so awesome! I am really happy to hear this video was helpful!
Yeah... it takes some time and practice. Good luck! ;)
Perfect
Thank you way better than anyone else’s tut. This did the trick for me.
Great! Glad to hear it was helpful.
does it have app that supports motion timelapse recording with phone?
My problem with this gimbal is app support. Do none of the basic phone camera functions work with the gimbal (zoom, shutter, etc)? It seems like I have to do everything from my phone
I don’t know what’s wrong with mine but my phone won’t balance like yours. I bring it all the way forward and it’s still a little heavy, so the bottom will lean forward a little bit, so I can’t get it fully balanced. It won't stay in the same position either, it will flop either way I balance it as best I can or not.
Hmmm... I wonder why it is so. What phone are you trying to balance?
@@MikusAusters the 10 s max
I haven't used a 10 s max with the Crane M2S, but I also can't really figure out why you have such a hard time balancing it. That's strange.
I don't know if its the same problem as mine, but I flip the clip so the weight of the phone is more front, at the cost of having the clip crossing the screen :(
Thank you so much for this walk-through! Being totally new to this area, your video helped me a lot! Really!
I wonder if you could also do a similar video for action cams? I ask, because I have an insta360 mounted on a Crane M2S. IMO it captures too much of the top-right side of the gimbal, so the gimbal's motor comes into the picture too quickly. I have to adjust the (360 degree) video in insta360's software, but that result in a somewhat unnatural POV.
Awesome! Happy to hear it helped!
I don't have a 360 camera at the moment so I haven't tried that yet. So far I have used a GoPro Hero 8 and there were no issues. And to balance the GoPro I did the exact same steps as in this video.
@@MikusAusters Thanks for your reply! :-) - If gather that you had no issues with the recording results on the GoPro and there was no part of the Gimbel appearing on the right side of the video? That's good to know, because that means it is an issue of the 360 degree feature in my case. I will probably have to hold the gimbal differently to get a more reasonable result. Gonna try...
Yes, it works good with the GoPro and no parts of the gimbal appear in the shot even on widest settings. But yeah... this GoPro camera is not capturing 360 degrees. Good luck!
Can you shoot in vertical?
It has Portrait mode (P) for vertical shooting.
The first time I tried this gimbal, it did not balance correctly, I just put it in the middle and adjusted so that in the normal position it does not have unbalance (without it remaining balanced in all positions).... I did it for less than a minute with a 250gs smartphone.... do you think it won't affect it?
I don't think it has harmed your gimbal, but it might effected it's performance at that particular time. Could it affect the gimbal and it's performance in the long run? I think yes. Hope this video helps you to understand how to balance it properly. And over time it will be intuitive and fast for you to do. So I suggest balancing the gimbal properly for best results. How fun recording!
Sir, please tell me ulanzi mobile holder model number for ziyun crane m2s
ULANZI ST-02S - this is the one I mentioned
@@MikusAusters hello there thanx for vid! I just bought M2S and I have ulanzi st-08 model doesn’t stay balanced at tilt axis so do you think I should buy ulanzi st-02s? thank you!
@@coffeesniffer Thats strange. 🤔 I don't have the st-08 on hand, but from the photos online it looks quite similar to st-02s.
@@MikusAusters thank you for your answer. I think so too is it possible to be a faulty product:/ btw I’m using iPhone 14 pro with clear case
@@coffeesniffer I don't think there is anything wrong with the Crane M2S though. I will give it try to see if I can figure out what could be up and let you know if I get any ideas.
Ulanzi st 02s can use with this zhiyun ms2 right??
Yes, that is the one I mention ;)
@@MikusAusters Ulanzi
1764 [ST-07does it work with crane m2s ?
@@neparutv I have not tried it myself, but from the experience of others Ulanzi St-17 works really good.
Is there a reason why there is only one threaded hole on the phone mount? There are two holes, one threaded and one that isn't...unfortunately I need the hole that does not have any thread so that my iphone 13 pro max isn't falling over when balancing.
That's the same reason I'm facing.
how to connect smartphone camera too zhiyun m2s?
I don't think you can. At least I haven't done it yet.
Just what I need! 😊 Thanks.
Happy to hear this video was helpful. You’re welcome 😊
Ļoti labs saturs! Prieks par tevi! 👏
Paldies! 😉👍
Здравствуйте. Нужно блокировать двигатель после балансировки, что бы перейти к балансировке следующей оси?
Hello. Do I need to lock the engine after balancing in order to move on to balancing the next axis?
Sorry for my English, I use an auto-translator.
Nop. Leave the balanced axis unlocked while balancing the rest of the axis.
What if you camera lenses and such?
These same steps will work to balance a camera. 😉👍
nice instruction well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
and vertical?
The Crane M2S has a mode for shooting vertical - it is called "portrait".
