Frequently Asked Questions
How big of a camera and lens can the Zhiyun Crane support?
The Crane can support up to 4 pounds of camera. When rations between camera body mass and lens mass are greater than 1:3, issues with balance or performance may become apparent.
What kind of battery charger is recommend for charging the camera stabilizer’s batteries?
It is recommended to use a dedicated battery charger for longer battery life and quickest charging times.
The Crane camera stabilizer when turned on and camera properly balanced does not hold the gimbal level to the horizon?
If the Crane is not holding the horizon, calibration will be necessary. Connect the Crane to a smartphone, and use the Zhiyun Assistant to calibrate the stabilizer. Follow the steps in setup video to see how to calibrate the Crane in more detail.
The camera rolls or dips to one side when Crane is powered on and moved around?
