 Hey, what's up guys welcome to trending reviews, so I'm here in sunny and warm Canada I've got my Zion gimbal here crane version 2 now I'm going to be going through how to set this up and how to balance it as well as the different modes that it comes with And I'm going to be showing you some nice footage in all three different types of modes So let's get straight into it All right guys, so the crane v2 you need to basically balance your camera on top of the Plate here so that it doesn't keep falling to the size of forwards The reason we're doing that is because if the camera is balanced itself You won't be hearing any motor noise from the actual gimbal as well You can do a lot of the footage from having it balanced as well First thing you do is get this screw that comes with it and put that underneath the plate so one other point I wanted to make sure you do before you begin is There's three different types of axes on this gimbal So the bottom one is the pan axis The one at the back is the roll axis and then the one on the side here is the tilt axis The right hand side of your camera should be against the tilt axis here Just like that if you do it the other way depending on where your gimbal has been tilted and You do the left side of the camera against the tilt axis Then what would happen is when you pan using the joystick up and down the camera will go side to side instead So make sure you do that don't make that mistake and have it like this So I'm gonna go ahead and screw this in from the bottom Screw panel on the camera right so you need to make sure you balance the camera So to do this there's four different points that you need to unscrew and move backwards and forwards So you have screws in various different places here So you have one here on the left on the Pan axis at the bottom here you have one underneath the plate Which you can unscrew like this and that moves the plate backwards and forwards like so and I recommend that you leave us all the screws here just a little bit loose So you can play around with it to make a balance. You have one on the top here on the roll axis So you just unscrew that and that moves backwards and forwards like so And then you have one on the tilt axis at the front here so you can unscrew that as well And that basically changes the elevation on the height of the camera up and down So once you have it near enough to perfect balance, it doesn't need to be 100% perfect It can be almost there just like this then you're ready to turn it on and start using it Now just to give you a quick explanation about the different types of modes Now it comes here in three different modes So to power it on you hold down the power button like this and it will stabilize the gimbal straight away And you hold it for about three seconds and it will flash blue Plus a few blinking orange lights and then back to blue You'll see it straightened it out. That's one of the other reasons why you need to have it balanced Otherwise, it will be too much pressure for the gimbal to actually straighten it out for you Okay, so by default the pan following mode It locks all of the axis the roll axis and the tilt axis apart from the pan axis here at the bottom Allows you to move the gimbal left and right, but also it allows you to use a joystick only on up and down Left and right will not work in this mode. So here's an example. This is the one that's enabled So you move it left and you can move it right. It's got smooth pan But if I wanted to use a joystick to go up and down I can do that. So as you see here It tilts it like this. Now if I press the mode button again It enters locking mode now all the three axes the pan tilt and roll axes up are locked And they do not work at all. This allows you to position the camera in one place and you get to record everything at a single point But just remember for manual control in this mode the joystick will work in both left and right and up and down So right now you can see no matter where I move it the camera is still locked at one point And it's good to get maybe 360 shots of a particular object or Of a landmark or something like that But also if you just wanted to use this only with the joystick You can place it down and just use manual control in all different directions left right up and down as such So everything pans left and right Nothing goes to the up and then down So the last mode press the mode button again This is following mode it enables all the three axes and also it allows you to use the joystick only up and down From the tilt axis so it gives you freedom of movement you can move in any direction You want with the gimbal itself without using the joystick it will follow But this does take a little bit of getting used to because the camera can start swinging a little bit uncontrollably This is probably going to be the least mode that you use But again, it's there if you are sort of a professional photographer filmographer You can get some nice shots and hands like this as well And also you can use the joystick to go up and down Lastly there is a fourth mode which is a selfie mode All you have to do is triple press the mode button and the camera will turn all the way around and take a video of yourself Like so it's really good if you've got a wide-angle lens and it works really cool I'm going to show you some footage of that in a second as well And if you want to get back to the front just triple press the button again, and it moves back forwards So that's it guys I'm going to be showing you footage of all the different four modes that I've just shown you now and I hope you do like it if you do have any questions and want to know a little bit more about design crane 2 And what you can do and please do drop a comment below You can also connect your camera to the design crane as well and have it controlling the zoom levels and take pictures from there But I'll save that for another video. So make sure you subscribe and you won't miss that now sit back Enjoy it and watch some of the nice footage I've got here in Banff National Park here in Canada and I hope you do like the video and I will see you next time
