The Zhiyun Crane 4 is a gimbal that gets back to the basics for this brand, which in my opinion, is a really good thing!

It's basically the same price as the DJI RS3 Pro here in Australia, which begs the question, why would we select this over the DJI? Nothing in your review suggests any reason why we would.
Agreed on the price. Keep in mind, you get a focus motor and RavenEye transmitter with the DJI Pro.
That's the case from the day the first one handed DJI gimbal launched. There was never a reason to buy a Zhuin or whatever it's called :)
The next gimbal I will buy is one which can balance automaticly and has a ronin 4d like solution for the z axis.
Great thanks Matt for excellent review. So helpful! 🙏🏽💛
I am a photographer and not videographer and I just got one today and.... it's going back. Even with strong chemical smalls when I open the box I still love all the ergonomics and even wanted the LED light for my many quick Run & Gun events in different lighting conditions; however, since the battery grip does not detach and the base is of an odd shape with none quick detachable option for the sling arm and wrist rest (like the Weebill 3s but small for my need) so have this gimbal perfectly setup, balanced and transport as is without rebalancing I will have to empty out my OG ThinkTank Airport backpack without any camera equipment just to fit it by itself and that would not work for me. Also, low angle FF mode hits the LED light and the work around sling to the left to invert causes the motor to start vibrate violently. Does not feel like a final product.
What lens do you always keep on your gimbal? Great video btw!
Good job Matt. I was happy to see you have posted a video on the Zhiyun Crane 4, as I am contemplating upgrading my current crane. In particular, I was lazily hoping that you would mention the maximum weight this crane can support, but I guess I can read the specs. Thanks again.
Thank you so much
I really like your reviews, but I think it's wrong when you trash the wrong category of previous Zhiyun gimbals, Crane 3s was made for medium to Larger Cinema cameras, it even has an Optional extended arm, and has extra Power pack, zhiyun had series of light weight Gimbal examples weeble and more, as a reviewer you should have know that Crane 3s was not meant for things like Weddings it will definitely ruin your back and hands, will you buy DJI Ronin 2 for a filming Weddings without rigging it with support system and that was even made with mostly Carbon fiber.
I have been following you for a very long time, learning from you. But I just wanted to correct you on that part.
Don't get offended please, you are Amazing. Thank you sir.
Can you do a review against the weebill 3s with the crane and the DJI mini s3?
I have bought Zhyiun Weebil 2 combo for my Olympus Om-1 camera last year. What a mistake! It was quite new on the market, so I thought the software support for my camera would come eventually. Zhyiun proved me wrong! I can still use it as a stabiliser, and it is fine, but I can't use dedicated buttons.
I just picked up the webill 3 a few months back. I dig the light on the front and find places to use it while filming weddings. It’s def. made for right handers. Built in mic is meh. They need to move back to replaceable batteries. Besides that I like it more than DJI. I’ll pass on the webill 4 seems similar to the 3.
Very good review
I would buy it but I really don’t like the LED on the front. It makes no sense, why would they even include it.
The price is aimed at more professional work but it seems to be designed for vloggers?
one very very important point I don't think you mentioned it! The locking system. I thought you would be the one person talking about that feature but you didn't ! :( and that is one most waited feature on the crane 4, talking about me!
DJI RS 3 Mini or Zhiyun Crane 4 ?
Any way you could try balancing your fs5 on this? I’m gonna be buying a gimbal in 2-3 weeks for 2 weddings coming up because my hands are shaky as hell.
Hi! The maximum payload of Crane 4 is Canon C70+24-70mm f 2.8. For more detailed data, please check here: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230802/1690944869045-SZBr6eNi.pdf 😉😉
Can you lock pan axis and still operate it? (I.e. DJI's steadicam mode)?
I don't think it can. All axis should be unlocked when operating.
Dji rs mini 3 as you got me on it! Hope this last 3 -5 yearz!!!!
mine lasted 6 months :")
It's upsetting that there haven't been improvements to the stabilization of these since they were introduced. My guess is that it's too expensive to innovate and no company is willing to do that these days.
As someone that has used both a DJI RS2 and RS3 Pro, there is a visible difference in the level of stabilization.
Their innovation is a useless led light. At least DJI added lidar focus
I bought one last week but i found big problem on it, its not turning on ! given me erreur message !
Hey Matt have you found that the latest Sony firmware update has broken the Bluetooth shutter control for the crane 4 and a7siii?
The same issue. Feedback to the official already.
According from the official website . It mentions "four 18650 batteries can meet the needs of high intensity shooting for a day " .
Is there any way to change 18650 battery by yourself during shoots ?
I'm afraid not, the battery was built-in
Thank you for mentioning the handedness issue from a fellow southpaw
I can’t use any gimbal without dual handles… and I don’t know why they are not considered an essential component.
But the crane 3s was never advertised as a gimbal for wedding filmmakers ! Plus these days by the time u rig up a gimbal it gets heavy anyways
You call it Zyouhin ? It is called zjeeyoun (phonetic)
🙏🙏🙏💚 I just meet Matt WOW what a person. 🙏🙏🙏 so much for my sticker 🙂 Christian
Out of the box with lots of problems, dead battery, it's stuck in sleep mode, can't be updated becasue my phone or PC doesn't recognize it.
Seems abnormal. Suggest contact the seller if you just bought it.
Zhuyun? how about Zhiiiiyun..
Aaay first one
Whaaaaaat
Hard pass on this gimbal.
Its 2023 and some people still haven’t figured out how to use a gimbal all day without getting tired. 🤦🏼♂️
