Zhiyun CRANE 4 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer

The Zhiyun CRANE 4 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer builds on the basic form factor and lightweight experience of previous Zhiyun gimbals, adding new possibilities for onboard features such as native portrait shooting, Bluetooth shutter remote, and an extended grip designed to work with cameras with full-frame lens kits. Pan 360°, tilt 207°, and roll 70° with onboard controls. Balance indicator lights on each motor help you achieve perfect calibration. Quick release plates on the gimbal feature a dual-layer design that allows for easy transitions between normal horizon views and portrait orientation with just a quick twist. Control your settings and focus directly on the 1.22” color touchscreen and Bluetooth-powered wireless shutter. The Zhiyun CRANE 4 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer also features a built-in fill light with 3200 lux output and adjustable color temperature.

Lightweight Design, Extended Arm Length

• With the CRANE 4 redesign comes an extended arm length and stronger motors, which expands the gimbal's gimbal and lens compatibility to DSLR, mirrorless, and compact cinema cameras with full-frame lenses attached.
• The gimbal weighs just 3.6 lb but has a load capacity capable of supporting cameras like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, Nikon Z8, Panasonic LUMIX S1H, and Sony a7S III, all with full-frame lenses attached.
• For a full list of compatible cameras, please see the most current compatibility information on the Zhiyun website page or see the camera compatibility list in PDF format.

Dual-Layer Quick Release, Lens Support

Mount your camera of choice on the camera quick release plate or upper quick release plate for efficient integration and balancing with the dual-layer plates on the CRANE 4. The lower quick release plate slides in the landscape orientation baseplate and offers a mounting point for the included lens support when using heftier full-frame lenses. The upper quick release slides easily into the portrait orientation baseplate.

Bluetooth 5.0 Shutter Control

While the included camera control cables offer the option for wired shutter control, avoid complicated cable runs by using the embedded Bluetooth 5.0 shutter control. Wirelessly control your compatible camera's shutter and toggle recording via the onboard controls and touchscreen. For a full list of Bluetooth-compatible cameras, please see the most current compatibility information on the Zhiyun website page or see the camera compatibility list in PDF format.

Powerful, Bright Fill Light

• A built-in 10W fill light easily lights subjects thanks to its 3200 lux brightness. An included fill light diffuser can soften the light's effect as needed.
• The light has a CRI of 95+ for accurate and natural color reproduction.
• Adjust the color temperature of the light from 2700 to 5500K with the onboard control wheel.

1.22" Color Touchscreen, Onboard Controls

• Toggle between gimbal modes like Pan Follow Mode, Lock Mode, POV Mode, Follow Mode, Go Mode, Vortex Mode, and Portrait Mode.
• Other shooting features include Panorama, Time-Lapse, and Motionlapse.
• Check and view the balance status of each axis in real time.
• Auto-calibrate after your rig is fully balanced.

• Customize the function of the trigger button and front dial to toggle settings or modes of your choice.

ZY Play App

Control your gimbal remotely from your iOS or Android device using the ZY Play App. Features of the app include virtual joystick control, photo and video control, motion sensor control, time-lapse, panorama, and firmware upgrade. The gimbal's embedded Bluetooth technology facilitates the app connection.

Follow Focus and Video Transmitter Integration

Attach additional pro-level tools to the CRANE 4 to communicate to others on set. Two USB-C ports at the front of the camera mounting area can connect follow focus motors for remote camera control. Another USB-C port at the back of the camera accepts the included camera control cables or connects to the separately available TransMount Image Transmission system. The transmitter unit can mount onto the bottom of your gimbal's baseplate to communicate with its corresponding viewing monitor.

All-Day Production

Four built-in 18650 batteries with a 2600mAh total capacity offer a runtime of 12 hours to shoot all-day events. The USB-C charging port supports PD fast charging to get you back up and running in 1.5 hours. You can charge the gimbal while it's in use to keep capturing the action.
