Super-Compact & Strong

We’re told we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Well, in this case, it’s don’t judge a gimbal by its size! Like the other gimbals in the Crane-M range, the Zhiyun Crane M2S is deceivingly strong. Designed as a more cost-effective version of its Crane M3 sibling, the M2S weighs in at a tiny 549g and can manage almost the same payload as the M3. It is capable of holding camera setups such as a Sony A7M3 and an FE 50mm F1.8, or a Nikon Z6 with a 24-50mm. And, it features a standard quick-release plate that makes for quick and easy mounting.

Creative Freedom

In addition to its creative shooting modes and intelligent product design, this gimbal is equipped with even more shooting options that allow for complete creative freedom. As an all-in-one gimbal system with the capacity to support smartphones, action cameras and mirrorless cameras, you’re already afforded the options for different shooting styles. But what’s more is, like the M3, the M2S is equipped with a 5-level, in-built LED fill light that is capable of producing 1000 lumens and it comes with 4 colour filters to help your creative dramatic scenes.

Intuitive Control

The Crane-M series is characterised partly by its small form factor but also by its intuitive and user-friendly design. The M2S is equipped with a 0.66” White and Black Screen that allows for single-handed operations and easy access to all the gimbal’s features, including its tilt/roll/pan controls and in-built LED fill light. In addition, it's fitted with a Standard Quick Release Plate that makes for easy camera mounting.
