The Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 2S Combo Kit includes the CRANE 2S gimbal and the TransMount Mini Dual Grip Lite side handle. Attach this handle to the gimbal’s bottom for two-handed operation, which helps in various shooting scenarios. The kit also provides a spare set of three 18650 batteries, giving you two sets total. Each set delivers up to 12 hours of runtime. Use the included triple charger to recharge one set while you shoot with the other.

Upgraded Performance for Filmmakers

Zhiyun upgraded the CRANE 2S from the popular Crane-2 to meet filmmakers’ needs. The new 9th Instune Algorithm boosts responsiveness on each axis. This gimbal stabilizes large cameras like the Blackmagic Pocket 6K, Panasonic S1H, and Canon EOS 1DX Mark II—along with their accessories.

Mounting and Collaboration Features

Attach an optional Zhiyun-Tech TransMount transmitter to the dedicated mounting points for team workflows. Switch to vertical shooting easily with the vertical quick release mount, perfect for social media. The FlexMount system simplifies standard camera mounting and secures it with a double-safety mechanism. The improved two-phase axis-locking design balances your camera securely and prevents gimbal movement during travel or storage.

Ergonomic Design and Controls

Zhiyun crafted the grip handle from carbon fiber for a lighter feel. The upgraded side handwheel offers low-delay control for optional lens motors (sold separately), enabling precise focus or zoom adjustments. A 1/4″-20 thread on the handle bottom lets you attach the included mini tripod as a stand or handheld extension for extra control.

Creative Modes and App Integration

Download the iOS/Android app to create panorama, time-lapse, motionlapse, and long exposure time-lapse shots. Adjust parameters via the app or directly on the 0.96″ OLED screen above the handle.

Accessories and Compatibility

The CRANE 2S supports Zhiyun-Tech TransMount accessories like servo motors. Its quick release plate works with common tripod heads, sliders, and supports for seamless camera swaps. The kit includes lens control cables and multiple camera control cables for full workflows.
