Totally agree with you about the Double Tap to recenter on the C2s - it felt like it took a year! I upgraded the firmware to 1.82 Today and that has made a significant difference for me. feels much faster to re-align back to the centre.
Wow the zhiyun is the one. I was about to buy the ronin and thought let me check. This is heaven sent. For me this is perfect. Now where can I get one. Thanks to you and potatoejet. I’m sending you guys kisses right now.
Had to do with a brand new Ronin SC a few weeks ago, great thing, then 2 weeks later after daily (& right) use, I made a software update, so the motors were shut off and could not activate them back! (Normally it should activate from alone after the update) Had to send it back and they replaced the defect thing (for free for sure)
@@GlenReed Compared to the Ronin S I liked the Ronin SC even more :) as the weight is by far less as the one from the S (you can hold it even in one hand) & the lock function! But when you do some stuff which shakes more for example fast steps/running the gimbal can not make it super smooth and you will see the up&down movements on camera
That’s cool! Definitely nice having a lighter setup when possible. It’s a learning curve for sure to keep the up and down movement out of gimbal footage, but since gimbals do handle it better than others. What camera and lens combo do you use on it? Curious if it could handle my S1 in the cage.
@@GlenReed I used it during my internship in the summer holidays I used by far not such professional cameras like you lol Just an Lumix G7 with a 14-42 lense😅
Like the saying goes “the best camera is the one you have in your hands”. The G7 is a great camera and is the very camera that helped get me started 🙂. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Good theoretical and tech stuff. I would have wished much more practical videos and scenes where you test it "in action". Maybe some useful feedback :)
I just bought the Crane 2s. My LG Stylo 4 is not compatible with ZY Play so I cannot activate my gimbal. Other than activation, what all will ZY Play be required for with the Crane 2s?
The Zhiyun Crane 2S can handle the pocket 4K fully rigged out no problem! I would probably mount the monitor on the side rather than on top though. Not that it couldn’t handle it, just that it would balance better. From what I’ve seen this gimbal is going to be much cheaper than the Ronin 2S. Thanks for watching 🙂
My new smartphone, Samsung s20, does not working with ZY play. With my older Huawei p8 i have no issue. I have Zhiyun Crane 2s. With another app, like BMPCC4K Control, is working.Any idea why?
Hey thanks for watching! It might just be that the Samsung s20 may not be supported by the Zhiyun Play app yet. Chances are they will update the app to include it since it’s a popular phone.
Honestly, I have not tried the follow focus on the Ronin. I do know that if your camera is supported both gimbals will focus without the motor. The motor is needed for non supported cameras and manual lenses. The DJI will cost more for the follow focus setup because you have to buy the focus motor and wheel separately, where the Zhiyun comes with the wheel built in and it works well. Probably not the answer you were looking for but hopefully it helps. Thanks for watching!
You are correct! They were supposed to announce it recently but postponed it for whatever reason. It’s supposed to be carbon fiber to make it lighter and have much stronger motors with a screen. From what I’ve seen it’s doing to be close to $1000 though 😬. We’ll have to wait and see if and when it’s released. Thanks for watching!
If you don’t already have a gimbal I would suggest the Crane 2S instead of the Ronin S. It offers more modern features and is really fast to balance. Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have further questions.
Hey! I do have a couple videos in the works. Sorry It’s taking me a little bit of time, I’ve been working on a big project at work that hasn’t allowed me much time for UA-cam. I’ve got a video coming out soon of some very nice budget lens options that I think will help a lot of people.
Thank you for your support ua-cam.com/channels/pWquuZsxf_shuOAWcIWMew.html
I just ordered the crane 2s!! I was worried if I made the right call, your video relieved me. Thanks!!
That’s awesome! It’s a really cool gimbal. Glad I could help 🙂

Glen Reed Thanks for the fantastic video mate!!
Keep up your great work! 🥳🔥
Great review thanks. Exactly what I needed to consider.
Glad I could help 🙂

Really like your video and the way you explain things!!! Thank you for the information!!!
Keep up the great work dude!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate the encouragement.
@@GlenReed Allways dude!!!

thanks for your time and this video. I have also decided to buy Crane 2s after yoru video :))
Your very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Very encouraging 🙂
nice! very detailed review! We'll see what the ronin 2s brings next month :)
Thanks! I’m curious to see if DJI comes out with something completely different that changes the way we use gimbals.

Oh wow 😯. Good thing they took care of it! How do you like the Ronin SC? I haven't tried it yet. Does it compare to the Ronin S?

It’s for setting up time lapse and panorama’s mainly.
Got a Black Friday deal for the 2s for $350.😁
Sweet! Congrats on the purchase! Great deal! Thanks for watching! Happy thanksgiving 🦃
@@GlenReed You too!
Great job! Curious. I’m going to be running bmpcc4k with adapted fd lenses and a monitor/ nucleos nano. Should I wait for the the ronin 2s 🤓

the Ronin RS2 is out! You´re gonna review it over the Crane 2S?
If I can get my hands on one I might 😉. Thanks for watching!
Great informative video thanks from Denmark

Here is the list of supported devices www.zhiyun-tech.com/ZYPlay/es Hope this helps 🙂
@@GlenReed Thank you! Hope it will be included. Great content! Subscribed!
Thank you very much! I appreciate the support 🙂
Today i installed the latest firmware v1.82. Now the app is working with my smartphone :)
In which gimbal follow focus is better??

@@GlenReed Am confused between ronin s and ghiyun Crane S2 plz help
It all depends on your needs. I did give the benefits of the two as well as the strong points and weaknesses of each in this video.
@@GlenReed how to connect crane 2S with phone
It’s very simple! Download the app and connect via Bluetooth. It will ask you to register the gimbal.
Thnx for ur suggestion👌👌👌
Your very welcome! Thanks for watching 🙂
isnt DJI coming out soon with a Ronin S2?

Hello sir i m from india and in am very confus to buy gimble. dji ronin s / zhiyun crean 2s... Please Suggest ❤️

@@GlenReed but Ronin S build quality is primum .... Not crean 2s
Both are premium in build quality. The Crane 2S is very nice and built very well.
Ok thank you sir love from india ❤️
No problem 😉 , thanks for watching!
👁️👄👁️ damn, 2 leading medium size gimbles.
It’s really awesome that even though the Ronin S is getting older now it still can hold its own against new tech. Thanks for watching 🙂
Oohhh it’s got a screen. Omgoodness. 😃😃😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes it does!!!! 😉 Thanks for watching!
Pls review the canon eos c70 if possible !!??
I will keep that in mind. Thanks for watching 🙂
Any new video in making!?
