Features

The gimbal itself weighs 1.67kg, and on top of a new flexible wrist rest, it also has a sling grip that supports fine-tuned angle adjustment for precise movement control. The versatile sling grip can be adjusted to match the gimbal’s central axis, which allows easy switching between sling and two-handed modes.

There are now built-in balance indicator lights at each motor to provide quick information on the balance calibration status. Bluetooth connectivity provides direct shutter control to supported cameras. With the integrated 1.22-inch color touchscreen, the operator can easily view and adjust various functions of the CRANE 4, including balance and operating mode, and access real-time status information.

The quick-release module makes it easier to switch between landscape and portrait modes. Four 18650 batteries provide up to 12 hours of runtime and can be fully recharged in under two hours via USB PD fast charging.

Additionally, inspired by ZHIYUN’s smaller gimbals, the CRANE 4 now includes a fill light. With its 10W, the small bi-color light has a maximum illuminance of 3200 lux (5500K at 0.3m), CRI 95+, and CCT between 2700K-5500K.

ZHIYUN CRANE 4 can be paired with a wide selection of accessories, such as remote monitoring, follow-focus motors, and ZHIYUN’s TransMount image transmission system.
