FAQs

What type of camera gimbal is CRANE 4?

A:
Designed with a lightweight philosophy, CRANE 4 features a significantly reduced body weight and compact form factor. Its upgraded ergonomic handle design and optimized weight distribution deliver a more comfortable and balanced shooting experience, empowering creators to capture professional-quality footage with ease.

CRANE 4 is a professional camera gimbal designed for filmmaking studios, wedding filmmakers, and commercial production teams. With strong payload capacity and high-performance stabilization, it is built to handle demanding professional shooting scenarios.

What is the payload capacity of CRANE 4, and what cameras does it support?

A:
With extended axis arms, powerful motors, and an extended quick release plate, CRANE 4 delivers an impressive 4.5kg payload capacity while maintaining a lightweight design.

It easily supports a wide range of setups, from popular full-frame mirrorless cameras to compact cinema cameras. For detailed camera compatibility information, please refer to the official compatibility list on the ZHIYUN website.

What mounting options and modifiers are supported?

Of course, ZHIYUN is committed to providing every customer with the best possible after‑sales experience. You can return or request a refund within 30 days of purchase, and we offer a free one‑year warranty. If you have any questions, I’m always happy to help. For any inquiries, please reach out to us at info@zhiyun-tech.com.

Do your stabilizers support firmware updates? How do I keep them up to date?

We continually roll out firmware updates to optimize stabilization tracking, unlock advanced features, and enhance camera compatibility. Keeping your setup up to date is completely seamless: connect your stabilizer to the official ZY Cami app (for mobile gimbals) or ZY Play app (for camera gimbals). The app will automatically prompt you when an update is live, guiding you through a quick, step-by-step process to ensure your gear always performs at its absolute peak.

What is Native Vertical Shooting Mode?

Native Vertical Shooting means your device can switch straight to a 9:16 vertical format without needing any extra accessories (like an L-bracket) or complicated teardowns. With just a quick click or a simple twist, you get seamless vertical video. delivering uncropped, full-res image quality without blocking your camera’s flip screen or cable ports.

What are the key features of the CRANE 4 Sling Handle?

A:
The upgraded adjustable Sling Handle and Wrist Rest significantly reduce perceived weight and shooting fatigue, allowing creators to achieve precise control and smoother camera movements during extended shooting sessions.

The Sling Handle supports adjustable length and grip angles, allowing users to customize their setup based on different shooting scenarios. It can also be positioned along the gimbal’s center axis, enabling quick switching between sling mode and traditional two-handed operation.

Equipped with a standard 1/4" threaded mount, the Sling Handle allows additional accessories such as lights or monitors to be attached, expanding creative possibilities on set.

Is a built-in fill light actually worth it?

it’s a year-round tool for cleaner image quality. Beyond shooting in the dark, it serves three major purposes:

  • Fills Midday Shadows: Erases harsh, unflattering shadows on the face caused by direct overhead sunlight during daytime outdoor shoots.
  • Lowers ISO & Reduces Noise: Adds clean light directly to your subject, forcing your camera to drop its ISO level. This results in crisp, grain-free, and high-definition footage.
  • Adds Catchlights: Creates a subtle, professional reflection in your subject's eyes, making them look more engaging and alive on camera.

Does CRANE 4 have a built-in fill light?

Yes. CRANE 4 features an integrated 10W fill light with a peak illuminance of 3200 Lux, a CRI of 95+, and an adjustable color temperature range of 2700K–5500K.

By integrating professional LED lighting into a handheld camera gimbal, CRANE 4 provides creators with flexible lighting control for enhanced image quality and more versatile shooting scenarios.

Does CRANE 4 support vertical shooting?

Yes. CRANE 4 features a newly designed quick release system with an integrated horizontal and vertical locking structure, allowing creators to switch effortlessly between landscape and portrait shooting modes.

Whether capturing cinematic footage or vertical content for social platforms, CRANE 4 helps you adapt quickly without interrupting your workflow.

What is the battery life of CRANE 4?

Powered by four 18650 batteries, CRANE 4 delivers up to 12 hours of runtime, making it suitable for full-day shooting sessions.

With PD fast charging support, the gimbal can be fully charged in just 1 hour and 50 minutes. It also supports charging while in use, helping creators stay powered throughout their production without worrying about battery limitations.

I have been using this gimbal for awhile. I love how easy it is to switch from landscape to portrait mode. This is so useful for social media contents.With Bluetooth connectivity, it is super easy to connect it with my A7CII and balancing the gimbal isn't hard at all. The touchscreen is definitely a nice touch and the battery life is enough for me to use for the day!Overall, I'm super happy with this purchase!!??

J'ai r��cemment commenc�� �� utiliser le stabilisateur ZHIYUN Crane 4, et je trouve qu'il a vraiment simplifi�� mes sessions de tournage. Grace �� son bras plus long et ses moteurs puissants, il peut accueillir diff��rents types de cam��ras. Ce qui me pla?t le plus, c'est la poign��e polyvalente. Avec le support de poign��e inclus, il est plus agr��able �� utiliser et r��duit la fatigue lors des longues s��ances de tournage. Le fait qu'il puisse supporter de grosses charges est un gros avantage, mais cela le rend un peu lourd �� transporter.J'appr��cie aussi le passage facile entre les modes paysage et portrait, ce qui est id��al pour adapter mes prises de vue selon le contexte. La lumi��re d'appoint int��gr��e est une bonne surprise, car elle offre un ��clairage d��cent, parfait pour les prises de vue en faible luminosit��. Toutefois, j'aurais aim�� que la batterie soit amovible pour faciliter la recharge ou le remplacement, surtout lors de longues journ��es de tournage.Un atout de ce stabilisateur, c'est son sac de transport. Il est bien con?u et prot��ge le stabilisateur pendant les d��placements. De plus, les fonctions Bluetooth permettent de contr?ler facilement certains param��tres de la cam��ra, ce qui rend son utilisation plus fluide. Malgr�� le poids, je trouve que le ZHIYUN Crane 4 est un excellent choix pour ceux qui ont besoin d'un stabilisateur capable de supporter des configurations plus lourdes tout en offrant des fonctionnalit��s pratiques et des accessoires bien pens��s.

Absolutely Fantastic Gimbal for Filmmakers!

The ZHIYUN Crane 4 Combo is an outstanding 3-axis gimbal stabilizer! Right out of the box, it feels premium and well-built. I use it with my Sony A7 IV, and the stabilization is incredibly smooth, eliminating all unwanted shakes.I��ve used many gimbals before, but this one truly stands out. Whether for professional shoots or content creation, the Crane 4 Combo is worth every penny. Highly recommended!!!

Works with Sony Fx 6 with the top handle and mic no problem.

Overall great gimbal. This bad boy can fit any setup you throw at it. For cinema cameras make sure you add on the extension arm. When you add that you can fit v-mount batteries or anything your heart desires. The only con is it's very bulky and heavy if you use it by itself you will fatigue pretty fast so attach it to a ring, or vest setup so you can hold it for longer video shoots.

I chose this product because I wanted to do video projects with my Sony ZV1 and didn't have a gimbal that would work with it.It included everything needed to make it work, a couple of USB C cable for charging, a hard case for storage and travels and some user guides. The quick start manual wasn't clear enough for me to use it right away. I watched one of their video online about setting it up and it really helped me to be able to use it. There's a lot of different functions and I would advise you to read the instruction manual and watch a couple videos.It it very stable if you balance your camera right away, but there's a couple of thing you need to be aware. The motors are kinda noisy, so if you plan on using the camera microphones, they could be heard in the videos. Also, the battery life is fine, but might not be long enough depending on your projects.All in all, I consider this product to be a good option, but you will have to see if it is good enough for your projects.

Le plus perfomant !

Utilisé avec un Lumix S5 équipé de sa cage et de mon 28-70mm le calibrage se fait sans aucune difficulté ! la poignée ergonomique est solide et permet de mieux controler le gimbal.La qualité de construction est remarquable, les pièces de jonctions sont en métal et inspirent la solidité et donc la durabilité.Je recommande l'achat du CRANE 4 avec sa poignée si vous êtes un vidéaste et que la fiction ou la vidéo évènementiel constitue le gros de vos productions.

Thanks to Amazon's General Manager who in the end saved my work after DJI had let me down twice. After 2 of DJI's gimbals died in my hands in a short period, I realized that their product was not safe at all for professionals to use. I ordered DJI items from Amazon and wanted to speed up the refund process when they sadly died so I picked the credit option. After realizing that it is super risky to use DJI I wanted to pick something from an alternative company. Whatever happened, the General manager sorted out the issue I was dealing with and in the end, everything was sorted in the way I was happy to place a new order for this item. Thank you, Amazon. You have amazing customer service. truly recommend Amazon to everyone now. Thanks again to the General manager.

Amazing workflow

The media could not be loaded.









It is a work horse of a gimbal, 12 hrs of battery life and surprisingly comfortable to work with. Only problem is the record button only worked half the time , I would manually click the record button instead. Last problem is when you go all the way down to the ground and aim the camera up, you hit the integrated light and you can aim any higher.

Great Gimbal

This is a great camera gimbal and can hold heavy setups. My only problem is that it is extremely heavy and awkward to pick up.

Very strong motors and reliable steady movement

I have a bmpcc 6k pro with a cage and nato side handle grip (mainly because sometimes i want to go handheld quickly without completely changing my set up. The fact that this is one of the few gimbals that has enough space and can take enough weight makes it perfect. Now is it a gimble you hold with two hand? no lol but its still reasonable if you dont mind a little extra weight for convenience.

Nice Crane !!!

Very Nice Crane. Works just as intended. I did however return it. Not because it didn't work great... because it did indeed work terrific... But I decided to Buy the Newer Model, The ZHYIUN Crane 4. Which is a bit more expensive. So if you want something slightly cheaper than the Crane 4. The Crane 3S is for you. Don't hesitate. It will get you the results you are looking for.
