Jason Vong make a tutorial about how to shoot with a gimbal for a planned shot which you are going to speed ramp in the post production. Seems tricky to me.
Gone from a total noob to average in 3 months. Picked up an A7Rii and now shooting weddings and corporate. I love it. Watched tons of youtube and you are the standout. Keep it real and bring your sense of humour more! Killing it bro :)
Thank you so much. I checked so many videos about gimbal mode and focussing and most of them are not telling you what you thought here. It is very precise and detailed. Thanks much
lol asked a friend to watch this vid and he took like 30 mins, asked him why so long he said he had to click on the other vids that you linked to watch them first and then finish this. lol. point being he learnt a lot more and that's a good thing. great job with these vids Jason! helps the noobs learn and understand the basics of filming a scene!!!
thanks for this video jason! this would really help me. i suggest you do another video on how and when to use metering modes. it sometimes confuses me what is the best metering mode for certain situations.
Thank You, I have followed you ever since I purchased my Sony A6400. I have only one lens, the Sony 18-105 F4. I am thinking about getting the crane plus but I am wondering how one can use the zoom function when utilizing the crane?
Amazing video! Jason, with so many people switching Sony (including me), perhaps you can do a complete tutorial with the Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras? I have heard that Sony's menu system sucks and I'm sure me and other newcomers to Sony system will appreciate you teaching us how to operate the Sony system!
Very informative! What kind of focus setting do you recommend if you're following someone around on the street while their interviewing people? (A7iii on gimbal)
Have you tried your Sigma 16mm f1.4 with the gimbal? Wondering how well the autofocus works with that. Would also be nice to see a tutorial on the 'moving timelapse' for the Crane Plus.
Jason I really found this vid helpful. I'm thinking about getting into video work and your videos are very precise. Not sure if you have already done this, but can you do a quick tutorial on your work flow and set up when creating your UA-cam content. Thanks in advance.
Excellent video. Very informative and useful. I have a Sony A7 III on pre-order and am considering getting a gimbal for video. My biggest concern with the Zhiyun Crane Plus is that it is not angled to provide unobstructed view of the camera screen. Do you find that a handicap and if so, would you recommend one of the other gimbals that are angled?
Very informative! I’m just holding out for the DJI Ronin S to compare these two. I really like the POV feature not sure if they will have that. We met at Sammy’s for the Sony event BTW. Still waiting on my A7lll...
Extremely entertaining and informative...great video! Question: how do you get your focus area to turn yellow, mine just stays gray and hard to see. Thanks, Jason!
Great video Jason! When you want put your crane back in to the box, are crane side and bottom arms hitting? Dont know how solve this issue :( bag is useless in this case
Hi Jason, again another great informative video. Thank you very much for that. I still do have a question though (I haven't seen a solution to that anywhere): I have the a6300 and the Zhiyun Crane 3 [the old one] and I don't know if you have a solution to the hopping that's clearly visible when moving forward. Can you please elaborate on this?
@JasonVong man your review was incredible! This is easily the best review of the crane plus that I’ve seen. I learned so much by watching and I will definitely be applying your teachings as well as techniques. You now have a subscriber and supporter in me for life now man. ✊🏽
Hey Jason, great video. Can you explain about a6300 focusing scenario or alternative to responsive focus track. Anything or way to get something like that with a6300? Thank you.
Please you can make a complete video on how to use the Slog2 color profile, how to set all its parameters, how to expose then how to do color grading? thanks
Hi, nice tutorial. Just one question. Is'nt this crane totally useless with the A6300 when shooting 4K without a external monitor. Because you hardly can see what you are doing on the viewfinder
Thanks Jason been learning a lot of stuffs from your videos. Kudos! Keep making videos for sony a7iii if there's a hidden feature or what you persinally used and crane plus with your techniques andI hope you will also make a video on how to use the adobe Premiere in a effective way. your awesome!
Hello, I watched all of your videos thanks for your great works! I do have a questions: I am using sony A7r3 and moza gimbal, how can I shut down the auto switch from screen to viewfinder since the screen will turned off when the viewfinder is blocked by the gimbal? Thanks again!
This is a very good video, is it possible with the Sony A6500 and 18-35, I have a hard time focusing with the adapter but Unfortunately dont have the Crane 2
Hi Jason. Considering that I will use most of te time the AF in Sony a7lll, I think that the important thing is to have digital communication between the gimbal and the camera to manage speed, aperture and ISO. Does the ZCrane 2 and the cable provided allow this comunication for Sony or not? Thank in advance for your excellent videos!
For the first time I wished I had a little more time to process all the information in the video. Damn! Great content. Will have to watch again and again.
Jason, newbie question: I own the Sony a7iii, primarily used it for photos so far, so watched a video explaining the various settings for photos. If I follow the setting you are describing here, this will not impact any setting I have already on the camera, because I will be modifying these in the Video more area so my Photo setting will be saved?
Great video! Thanks! Going to Utah this weekend taking my my a7riii with my Sony 24 to 105 lens and my zhiyun crane2. Taking my phantom pro to. Hoping to get shots with my crane and camera and a few drone shots .thanks for the video!
Quick question please? If I'd use the a6300 and I would want to quickly shift the focus from, let's say a person's face, to the background while walking with a gimbal, how would I try to achieve that? Since the camera does not have a touchscreen like the a6500, I need to know if this quick shift is possibly on a gimbal without that? Thanks for the video 🖒.
How do you balance your Sony on the Crane? I can't seem to get it to work. Also, do all the lenses you list work on the gimbal? The 16-35mm seems to be too heavy...
Good stuff on all your videos.I have the WG, Smooth Q and the Crane M with A6000, Gopro 4 & 5 and smartphone, so all bases covered. It's the little tricks you give that are really helpful. Thanks.
Solid video! I was just trying to figure these out recently and now I know. Also every time I see your Disney footage, I have to fight myself on getting the pass still!
Very nice tutorial. One tutorial I might suggest, is manual focusing when using a gimbal. Not everyone uses a camera with decent autofocus (like myself; I use a Blackmagic camera, and the autofocus on that is not very good - although otherwise it's an excellent camera).

Can't wait to try these techniques this weekend - AF has been an enemy of mine when attempting complex gimbal movements! Thanks a lot for the info :)
Gone from a total noob to average in 3 months. Picked up an A7Rii and now shooting weddings and corporate. I love it. Watched tons of youtube and you are the standout. Keep it real and bring your sense of humour more! Killing it bro :)
Thank you so much. I checked so many videos about gimbal mode and focussing and most of them are not telling you what you thought here. It is very precise and detailed. Thanks much
this video is seriously valuable, as I'm watching it i'm literally thinking "why didn't I think of that" to most things, thank you
Just wanted to say that this video was super helpful and one of the few tutorials that shows what is happening on the camera screen.
lol asked a friend to watch this vid and he took like 30 mins, asked him why so long he said he had to click on the other vids that you linked to watch them first and then finish this. lol. point being he learnt a lot more and that's a good thing. great job with these vids Jason! helps the noobs learn and understand the basics of filming a scene!!!
How do you record the screen of your camera ?
Jason, can you make full review of crane plus in depth with zhy play app and settings you use.
Best best best tuto around for guimbarde + Sony! Merci beaucoup
Great information! Not really focus related, but do you ever use Zhiyun's object tracking when doing orbits, passing a subject, etc?
thanks for this video jason! this would really help me. i suggest you do another video on how and when to use metering modes. it sometimes confuses me what is the best metering mode for certain situations.
Best gimbal movements tutorial ever watched ,do more please
Thank You, I have followed you ever since I purchased my Sony A6400. I have only one lens, the Sony 18-105 F4. I am thinking about getting the crane plus but I am wondering how one can use the zoom function when utilizing the crane?
Great video Jason I was waiting for a video like this!
cant wait to see your videos Eli! From portrait to video master!
Amazing video! Jason, with so many people switching Sony (including me), perhaps you can do a complete tutorial with the Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras? I have heard that Sony's menu system sucks and I'm sure me and other newcomers to Sony system will appreciate you teaching us how to operate the Sony system!
Great Video! Does the focus area needs to be yellow to make sure its focused? Thanks!
Very well made video, super well explained and doesn't waste your time! Wish there were more like you.
Thanks Daniel, that means a lot!
As I got my Zhiyun Crane 2 just yesterday, this video came right on time! Thanks, Jason.
good luck!
Dang bro....slider shot like a boss!
That form though lol
I'm looking to get a gimbal so good to know all these techniques. Thanks for sharing!!
Great tutorial. And great cameos by other UA-cam photographers I follow
Great video Jason. Because of you, I purchased the Crane Plus and I love it. Please keep making videos like this one.
Excellent video! Such solid B roll and explanations going on.
Very informative! What kind of focus setting do you recommend if you're following someone around on the street while their interviewing people? (A7iii on gimbal)
Grrat video. Just want to know what lens you are using. Thanks
Super helpful video. Was having some autofocus issues with real estate shoots. Thanks Jason!
Have you tried your Sigma 16mm f1.4 with the gimbal? Wondering how well the autofocus works with that.
Would also be nice to see a tutorial on the 'moving timelapse' for the Crane Plus.
Great tutorial Jason! What do you think about the Nikon Z6 for the Crane 2? Thanks !
Jason I really found this vid helpful. I'm thinking about getting into video work and your videos are very precise. Not sure if you have already done this, but can you do a quick tutorial on your work flow and set up when creating your UA-cam content. Thanks in advance.
Hey, great video. Just bought my first gimbal! What video settings are you using i.e. slow-mo 120fps or? Cheers!
Hi, very informative thanks. How much find you annoying the gimbal covers the lcd?
Jason I'm considering the crane plus. I use all the same gear you do. Question is the Ronin S, should I wait for it. Plus or minus to either one.
I think I found my favorite new channel! Thanks, Jason!
Thanks, you've made me want an a7 even more now! Upgrading from a d3300 so very much looking forward to it.
Excellent video. Very informative and useful. I have a Sony A7 III on pre-order and am considering getting a gimbal for video. My biggest concern with the Zhiyun Crane Plus is that it is not angled to provide unobstructed view of the camera screen.

subscribed. and definitely will use these to my youtube videos too :) ive been learnign from you a lot
Very informative! I’m just holding out for the DJI Ronin S to compare these two. I really like the POV feature not sure if they will have that. We met at Sammy’s for the Sony event BTW. Still waiting on my A7lll...
Extremely entertaining and informative...great video! Question: how do you get your focus area to turn yellow, mine just stays gray and hard to see. Thanks, Jason!
Great Video, Thank you! I'm headed to Europe next month, would you recommend taking the case with the Crane 2 Gimbal? Its huge
I have a sony a6300. Which is the best choice: Crane 2 or Crane V2 or Crane Plus? Are any of these models specific for sony camera?
Another great content from the great Jason Vong! Thank you for the tips and tricks man. Will be using them on my wedding gigs.
Thank you so much for this video! I've bookmarked it and have watched it already several times. Good stuff!
thanks so much man. I have watched all your video and learnt a lot from it...
This is fantastic, just what I needed to get started with my a7iii and new gimbal setup!
Awesome Vid! what profile and lens did you use for the walking voice over part?
Great video Jason! When you want put your crane back in to the box, are crane side and bottom arms hitting? Dont know how solve this issue :( bag is useless in this case
Awesome. Thank you! Do you recommend Continuous AF or which mode? I have the tendency to hold focus button to ensure it's always focused..
Great information, Jason very clear and concise. Thanks for taking the time.
Excellent video tutorial. Keep up the good work and thank you
Hi Jason, again another great informative video. Thank you very much for that.
I still do have a question though (I haven't seen a solution to that anywhere):

Welcome to the channel, Chris!!
These tips are amazing! I'm definitely going to have to practice these a lot.
Hey Jason, great video. Can you explain about a6300 focusing scenario or alternative to responsive focus track. Anything or way to get something like that with a6300? Thank you.
Wow Jason - most concise compilation of gimbal modes, focus settings and moves for Sony cameras I've seen so far. Great work! Very helpful.
you're welcome man!
Hi good job. Just a question: when you use "follow" mode instead of "pan follow"?
Great tutorial, thank you! Does "pan follow" mode correspond to "yaw follow" more of Moza Aircross, or is it different?
Thank you Jason. Keep up the good work
I can't thank you enough for this video. Huge help to me! Thanks So Much!
Man so much information. I need to take notes. Great stuff.
Really useful clip Jason, clearly explained. Thanks for posting.
Great vid once again. Actually no AWESOME VID. One of your many best.
You're the one, man! You master it all.
Please you can make a complete video on how to use the Slog2 color profile, how to set all its parameters, how to expose then how to do color grading? thanks
How do you set up the Sony A7iii with weebill S so you control the camera from the handle
Meaning changing the iso / fstop/ shutter speed
Hi, nice tutorial. Just one question. Is'nt this crane totally useless with the A6300 when shooting 4K without a external monitor.
Because you hardly can see what you are doing on the viewfinder
Very helpful Jason; thank you for all the detail.
Nice! Jason, which gimbal do you recommend now, nov 2018?
Thanks Jason been learning a lot of stuffs from your videos. Kudos! Keep making videos for sony a7iii if there's a hidden feature or what you persinally used and crane plus with your techniques andI hope you will also make a video on how to use the adobe Premiere in a effective way. your awesome!

Hello, I watched all of your videos thanks for your great works! I do have a questions: I am using sony A7r3 and moza gimbal, how can I shut down the auto switch from screen to viewfinder since the screen will turned off when the viewfinder is blocked by the gimbal? Thanks again!
Find "Finder/Monitor" and select Manual in the Menu
This is a very good video, is it possible with the Sony A6500 and 18-35, I have a hard time focusing with the adapter but Unfortunately dont have the Crane 2

great vid mate... will be referencing this many times when I get my gimbal.
Hi Jason. Considering that I will use most of te time the AF in Sony a7lll, I think that the important thing is to have digital communication between the gimbal and the camera to manage speed, aperture and ISO. Does the ZCrane 2 and the cable provided allow this comunication for Sony or not? Thank in advance for your excellent videos!
Love the video very creative can you please make a video on time lapses
For the first time I wished I had a little more time to process all the information in the video. Damn! Great content. Will have to watch again and again.
This is a great video, very informative and easy to follow. Glad you used and showed examples.

I have the Zhiyun Crane v2, Sony a6500, and 18-105mm lens. Is it worth switching the v2 for the Weebill Lab?
Thanks bro for the gimbal tricks❤️
This is gold! Thanks man!
super bro very use full tut for beginner camera setting and mode
That was really informative Jason. Great job.
Thank you so much for these tips and tricks. Greetings from germany!!

Jason Vong without hesitation I’d pick up a pass. Just make it a day I’m free lol
Very helpful, Thank Jason!
Great tips. Thanks Jason 👍🏻
