How to Balance Your Crane M2S Gimbal in under 60 Seconds

I bought one of these Gimbal few days ago and had a difficulty of balancing it. I was in process of sending it back till watched your video. After
watching your video within few minutes I was able to balance my Gimbal.
Thanks Mark for creating this flawless video.

Hi Mark, thank you for this viedo... I have a couple questions... Does it works for sony A6400 with 16 f1.4 Sigma lens?..or Sony 18-135mm? and 2 question.... do you recomend to balance the gimbal with the straps on it?... thank you

can it carry M50 with sigma 16 mm ?

I bought crane m2s and I'm still having a hard time balancing it to canon m50 :(

I made a big mistake buying a gimbal. Total pain! Even following all the directions you gave, the camera just spins round and round like a top.

Damn… i just can’t figure this out. I’m pretty sure i have the first two things balanced, but i can not seem to get the last one to do what your showing in the video. Literally tried adjusting it a fraction at a time. But it never gets balanced, and when i turn the gimbal on, the motors freak out and vibrate a ton like it’s about to power off.

I’m trying to use it with a GoPro Hero 9 [with media mod]. Is it possible i need to add some more weight to it or something? Because I know that when i tried doing it with a mic on top, it just wouldn’t work because it was too top heavy

Can crane m2s support sony zv e10 with sigma 16 mm f1.4?

Many thanks. I've a one question. Can use this gimbal for sony ax53 camera ??

Can you please explain how the M2 S has to be put away for transport (like the M2) and then brought out again for use? Does it require a re-balance every time? TIA for your response. Regards

great one! helped me lots 🙌🏼🙏🏻

What is the body material of m2s, Means plastic or aluminum, etc....

Thanks Mark! Do you think this is a better travel option than the original Zhiyun Crane v2 (not Crane 2, just the v2)? I just want something lightweight, quick to setup, easy to stash away and that I can get my camera out of the gimbal setup quickly. My camera setup is going to be Fuji XT3 + 23 or 35 mm f/2 primes, or GH5 + 12-35 2.8 or 25 mm and maybe the Rode Wireless Go II mounted on top of either cam (as well as some kind of ND filter if needed)

So I just purchased this gimbal. I have a Sony zv e10 and I’m using a Sony 10-18 mm f4 lens. I was able to get it balanced, but once connected to the plate and attached to the gimbal it’s not level. So it’s obviously a little crooked and it doesn’t seem to correct once the gimbal is unlocked and on! Anyway to fix this? Is my setup too heavy?

I have this and it's frustrating as hell.

Silly me. I got one of these for recording video... right? I use a camera mounted mic. I guess it just will not work. Oh well, money saved. Great video none the less sir.

From the bottom of my heart.....Thank you for making this video 🙏

I'm using the same camera and lens, but whenever I place it on the gimbal, the image looks crooked, minor thing but any adjustments to the axis doesn't fix it

Hi thanks for the video, a question works to stabilize a Sony A6000?

Thanks i love it has longer battery lif than the crane 3 almost Doble

I got lost in the first 60 seconds. All that movement you did totally threw me off and then you took a plate off and attached it to your camera. Like wtf. How did you even do that this is like a robot and you moved so fast! The app is just a headache to walk through. You didn’t even show what your fingers were moving 😫😫😫

Very nice👌

The grey Switch for the 2nd axis part on your M2S is different than mines. I can’t tighten it because the body of my Sony A6400 is in the way. In your video, you turned the grey switch down and to the side to tighten and on mines it faces up and to the side which bumps into the body of my camera.. I don’t know if I’m making sense but I don’t know what I can do, can anyone help?

Bro this combination m50 Mark 2 gimbal recording button not working

I can't even get past the second step; there is nothing I can do to balance the camera when it's facing up. These things just aren't worth it but I appreciate the video.

Hello! After using the six sided calibration through ZY pLay app, the gymbal is not leveling anymore. Its tilt left from my point of view. I am using mobilphone. How can i correct it? Any advice would be appreciate !

anyone have balance points for sony a7mk3 with kit lens?

Will this gimbal balance a Sony ZR 1 or a Canon Powershot HS 740?

Balanced mine easily following this. A6400 with 16-50oss works great on it.

I have Canon 70D woth 50m and this gimbel didn't work on it. So you think its because I did balance it well or it's way too beg?

“60 seconds “ 😂🤡

Thank you so much for this video. It helps me a lot.

Hi boss, i have sony zve10 + Sony FE 85mm 1.8 , can i use this Gimbal for my device

My RX100vi was easy to get working but I believe it is too lite to balance in the lens up (tilt axis) position.

Thank you so much for this video! I was definitely feeling overwhelmed with my first gimbal, balancing was never quite right but you've explained it perfectly for me.

Thank you for this video! I watched it a few times before getting the hang of it. You have broken it down well from the start to the finish.

When I tilt my camera facing up it immediately falls and even when I adjust the lever it’s exactly the same. Why does this happen?

I heard that gimbal is absolutely useless so why should i Believe u

Your video just proves its useless 😂😂😂

Once a gimbal is balanced is it possible to transport it in a backpack with the camera on it ready to go?

i have the same gimbal for my canon m50 .the problem is how connect monitor on gimbal with micro hdmi is not have space.any solution?

My gimbal arrives tomorrow and like always I come to see you. Doubt I'll be balancing it in 60 seconds, but great tips as always.

Why does mine keep going into sleep mode ??

You are the best, many thanks from Russia.

Thanks Mark

Can I also place a camcorder on this gimbal, for example the Sony FDR AX53 thank you for your response

Awesome video, but can the crane m2s balance with sony a6400 and sigma 16mm f1.4? Thanks alot ❤❤❤

I still cant balance my gimbal mark 😭

Great video! One question tough,do you have to do the balancing every time you use the gimbal (let's say put it in the box and use it again)?

This video is better than the official one...

What about setting up the camera in portrait mode?
