If there's one downside to the Movi Pro, it's that we can't lug it around with us into coffee shops or throw it in a backpack when we travel. Naturally, we thougth the Crane 2 with its 7lb payload would be the solution, but a C100 Mark II just won't balance with the way the Crane ships out of the box. Watch what we did to get it to balance perfectly.

Thanks for the info guys. I put a C100 Mark II with a 16-35mm lens onto a Zhiyun Crane 2 last week and it worked perfectly thanks to your hack!
I admire your dedication to the C100.
Most people would have picked up an a6500 or similar but the c100 really does have such a great image and features.
PHILM we really LOVE the C100 - especially the II. We couldn’t go back to a DSLR or mirrorless after it but the C200 is a little overkill for us, so we’re really hoping there’s a mark iii in the works.
Interesting to see you say that about the C200. Yes you guys with your C100ii constantly make me think twice about my A7sII but I deal with low light scenarios often.
Looking forward to more videos from you guys, particularly ones that show more BTS of your wedding days.
I agree - many people just look at specs, but the C100ii is a real video camera with ergonomics to match, and that's much more important when out in the field... Although I do use hydrid cameras for gimbal work and slomo > 60fps.
Wow, Picture Quality/details/sharpnesson in this film is amazing ! :) Can You tell more about Color Grading or LUT was You used?
Good tips and excellent footage - I've just bought a used Crane 2 after using one at work for a couple years. Obviously many choices on gimbals these days, but he Crane 2 is a proven workhorse with great battery life - I've only used it once or twice with the C100 (we did it without the hardware moves in your video). So many great mirrorless cameras on the market that produce excellent B footage - hardly necessary to go to the hassle of a heavy gimbal camera anymore.
Thanks! I was able to make this work with the C100 (The OG, Mark 1). I'm still gonna get the official plate for it though but now I know it'll work well with that camera.
did you use the gravity plate? does it work?
@@KeigoMoriyama Yes! I actually purchased it a few weeks ago and it works very well. The size of the camera obviously obstructs some of the motion options that would be done easily with a smaller camera but for basic motion and following shots it works perfectly.
@@mauritsnienhuis I`m still looking for something affordable. Was thinking even the 3lab
@@KeigoMoriyama That looks cool too yeah. I found a used Crane 2 for very cheap so if you can find one then it'll be great for basic stabilization.
This is my next and first cinema camera! I've been using the Canon 60d dslr now for 8 years! This will be a major upgrade for me! Was considering the C300 till I saw the price lol, this is just as good though and a lot more affordable! Thanks for this video!
I'm sure 100 people have already asked this, but I would really love a peek into your image quality workflow--both your picture profiles in camera, and how you deal with color in post. You've really got the C100 dialed-in nicely! Love you channel too, and congrats on the engagement!
Bob Drummond thanks! It’s something we’re asked all the time and while we might be doing a c100 settings video in the future, we’re looking into whether color grading is better offered as a workshop or 1 on 1 training because of how intensive a subject. We’ll definitely make an announcement when we decide how to tackle it 👍
I still dont get why you still only have 400 subs. Wish you guys would have more subs
Faiz Jalal Haha thanks! Hopefully more come as content goes up but in the meantime, we’re having fun making these and if it helps even a handful of people, that makes us happy 👍
Way off, bro. ;)
Thanks so much for posting this. I'm looking for a more travel- and one-man-band-friendly alternative to my Ronin M, and ideally with my C100 Mark II. I think you've convinced me this could be “the one.”
Dave, are you still using the Ronin M?
@@tompurvis1261 actually it's crazy you're asking now. I just bought a Ronin RS 2 last week for my C70. So far so great. I'm selling the Ronin M if you're interested. :)
@@davecooper6173 what I’m trying to gage is it worth tracking down a battery charger for ours. It came with our C100 and was little used. The charger was lost during a few location changes. I’m torn between parting it out and finding a charger. I am frankly disappointed with Ronin support.
@@tompurvis1261 the M is great when using a dslr or mirrorless camera, but it simply did not handle the combined weight of the c100 and a lens very well. My motors would drop the camera forward if I tilted down too far. I gave up on that combo. DJI makes great stuff but their service sucks. Good luck!
@@davecooper6173 that was our experience with the C100. We have other cameras, 5DM3, that should be fine. I just need a charger. Any ideas?
Faiz Jalal I agree. There should be a k after the third number. Great work guys!
Master Ninja thanks for watching!
I have mine with the Ronin S and it was very easy to balance
Thanks man, perfect advice and 'how to...' Wedding bells soon? Have a great time shooting this year. Big heart hugs to you both.
I love the look you guys get out of the c100. Truly professionals 👌. Also, I hope one day I find someone who likes to do videos with me liek you guys. Congrats on getting engaged! (probably married by now lol)
I was just going to do a video on this very topic! Great job guys, you stole my thunder :-)
Thanks for this! Definitely going to try it with my c100!
Superb! Not even have any of the gear in the video....
Cool video. How do you grade your footage? The example shots look incredible, I love the colours.
Awesome and a huge congrats on the engagement.
Priscilla Jimenez thank you!
but what about lens control
Hi dude. Thank for this helpful video... Got my c100mkii balanced perfectly now... Have you managed to get the follow focus to work with the C100mkii? I can't seem to get it to work.. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Best Pete
I love this video as well as the music. Definitely sharing this channel with my video friends. Great job and congrats
Sounds like Gee Yoon, I speak Chinese. It is the Chinese name for the crane bird.
Awesome video. Where did you find the audio track?
Brilliant video... thanks for sharing.
Good video i like it. 😊 Do u know how i connect my C100 with the gimble? The joystick don‘t navigate the ISO or shutter speed controll. But the follow focus and zoom works very well with the joystick. Got any idea?🙁
I wonder if it is possible to fly the C100 on a drone.
theoretically is a smaller camera easier to balance, I'm going to buy a Canon 6D MKII and a Canon 24mm F1.4 lens for the Crane 2 but wasn't sure if I should get a 80D instead. PS I did come across someone using the Crane 2 with the 80D and did notice micro jitters on the footage he showed me, it did seem to take a while to balance as well.
Mark Shirley yeah, smaller cameras wouldn’t require this hack. Anything around the size of a 5D or smaller should be fine
dang, such a game changer!
Hi thanks i went through your class and it really cool unfortunately i am still not able to balance my c100mk2 on mine. Pls really need your assistance thanks
Congratulations on your engagement. I have a question how do you get that cinematic look? is that in post? I have the C 100 Mark two! I’m an actor and now I’m starting to Make films. I’m just learning step-by-step with everybody else. Good luck with everything
Helo
Thank you for the tutorial you explained it very well however when you loosened the screws to adjust the tilt I tried to do it, it wouldn't work.what is your advice since we can't seek the company to call them.
Best of luck Darya
Hey guys, I have just found your content and I am loving it! Keep up the great work. Im curious as to how you colour grade your films? They look stunning!!! are there any Luts we can download?
But can you get the coveted LOW MODE though??
great vid subscribed bro!
Cool.
Will it take a C100 Mark 2 with a 11 - 24L
How would you compare this setup to the Movi M5 with the c100 mark ii? Trying to decide between the two...ruled out the Ronin due to all the negativity I hear about them.
I've tried everything and I still can't seem to make this happen properly. Are you using a gravity plate?
Are you still satisfied with the crane 2 and your C100Mll?
Were you able to get the follow focus to work with the c100?
how were you pulling focus on these shots?
Thanks for the awesome review. Was actually looking to know if I could put my C100 mk2 on the Crane 2 and I think you convinced me. Quick question though. Have you tried it with the 24-70 2.8 by any chance? Wondering if it would balance fine with this lens at 24. Thanks a lot!
Francis Rene hey there, we don’t shoot with the 24-70 so we wouldn’t be able to say, but that should still fall within the weight limit of the crane
goood
Guys, let us see more videos with this combo?)))
Hey. This video has been a gamechanger for me! Just got the Crane 2 for my C100 mk II. BUT the viewfinder on my c100 doesn't allow for full range-of-motion with the Crane 2. Did you guys encounter this too? How do you cope? I'm thinking of removing it entirely. ALSO--Did the follow focus feature work for you? Zhiyun markets this as compatible with Canon cameras but I've found even after the firmware update (1.72) my C100 is unresponsive :'(
Alayna Lim hey there, while we find it does limit movement on the tilt axis, we find it’s only on the extreme end of the tilt, allowing for a good enough range of motion still (just make sure you have it in the up position, otherwise you’re really limiting yourself!). It’s an issue we had on the Movi M5 and only now on the Movi Pro do we have full motion with a Mark II. As for FF, we haven’t even tried it as it’s not listed on the supported cameras, but the C100 has DPAF so it’d be kind of redundant (albeit nice to toggle it from the crane itself). Hope that helps!
It does. Really appreciate you taking the time to respond. Thanks so much! Love your guys' channel!
You might of stated it I’m not sure! Anyway, I’m so close to buying a c100 soon. I’ve used rental ones hundreds of times but how do you adjust stuff like ISO and Aperture without the side grip? I know about assigning aperture with other buttons but what about the ISO as well as that?
Is there any other solutions apart from assigning the buttons?
Cheers and good video!
dompiscopofilms hey there, for professional applications, we always shoot on the Movi Pro with the side grip mounted on the ring so we can easily adjust ISO etc. On the Crane, we’ve been shooting with the C100 Mark II which has the joystick below the LCD on the back for easy adjustments, but we’ve only been using this combo for travel and vlogging. The only way to easily change ISO, WB or shutter on the C100 Mark I is to reassign the play, stop, skip and rew and ff buttons on the back to up, down, left, right and set. Hope that helps!
Outside In Studio thank you! I’ll probably look into buying the mk2 just a bit simpler and the lcd gives the extra hand with the tilt on it.
what would your recommendation be for a gimble between Movi Pro or the Zhiyun Crane 2?
Chris Moser Movi M5 hands down. We have a video on here about our setup on the M5 👍
Can you control the C100 manually with the crane 2's controls?
Romeo Lucchesi hey there - we haven’t tried it but are assuming that’s a no as the list of cameras is not very extensive and is limited to canon DSLRs at the moment
Outside In Studio thank you for the reply!
