When it comes to handheld gimbals, Chinese manufacturer Zhiyun has carved a niche for itself. The company has a wide array of handheld gimbals under its arsenal. In its bid to make things more affordable and simpler, the company has launched a compact, multi-device compatible handheld gimbal dubbed Zhiyun Crane M2.
The Zhiyun Crane M2 comes with a smaller size than most of its competitors. The device weighs just 1.1 lbs (500g) and has a dimension of 267 x 69 x 138mm. Despite the compact size, the gimbal can carry compact cameras, light mirrorless cameras, mobile phones, and action cameras with a maximum payload of 1.58 lbs (720 g).
To use the gimbal with the different gadgets would require a dedicated accessory for each device. The gimbal has a new quick-release plate which makes it much easier to remove the camera from the stabilizer and remount it again.
It also comes with enhanced camera control via Wi-fi and Bluetooth as well as new stabilizing modes. There is a bright OLED display which avails users of the gimbal mode, Bluetooth and Wi-fi status, battery level and other important parameters. Also worthy of note is that the gadget comes with up to 7 hours of battery life.
The device is now available for pre-order for just $269.
