    BEST GIMBAL! Better than Moza in my opinion and experience
    5 Stars
    BEST GIMBAL! Better than Moza in my opinion and experience
    Amazing! I ordered the moza gimbal and was displeased because of the size, weight, and it was dis-functional and unreliable. It would constantly tip over and make noises.BUT with the ZHIYUN CRANE, my first impressions have been great!It BALANCES easyyyySuper simple and seems very reliableLightweight but was able to hold my A7sii with a lightweight lens just great.The box is very minimal and perfect. It is like a small briefcase box which is lightweight and easy to use.The Moza air had a huge box that seemed more like a small luggage box.So far so good. Go for the Zhiyun V2 if you aren't gonna be using a large camera and a huge lens

    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016
    Best bang for the buck if you're considering a gimbal. Amazing build quality, super smooth pans using the joystick or follow mode. Battery life is great and you get 2 sets of batteries. Bluetooth controller works well (bought mine separately) and the app works as it should. Love the fact that the handle unscrews and makes the whole thing super compact so you don't have to take the included (great quality) case with you. I use it with my Sony RX10 III, and works great. Probably wouldn't go heavier than an RX10 III though. If you have a small camcorder or small DSLR/mirrorless and are looking for a gimbal thats affordable AND highly capable feature wise, look no further!
