ZHIYUN Crane 4 Gimbal - Better than DJI? Honest Review
Ғылым және технология
here is my review of the zhiyun crane 4, like all my reviews this is not sponsored nor paid. In fact I've had this for over a month now and didn't want to post anything until I had a solid result. Is it better than the DJI Ronin RS3 PRO?
Any questions / mrtechtok

Quick update, zhiyun actually saw this and reached out to offer a 10% discount code ZY10TOCXM on ALL of their amazon sales, so im leaving this code to you at NO OBLIGATION. I still recommend searching around for deals but if you do purchase using this code, I do appreciate your support. Any other gimbal questions feel free to reach my on IG @ MrTechTok Cheers!
Would love to see a comparison between the Crane 4 and the RS3 Pro!
Thank you for this great detailed review, what sold me on this is how easy it is to switch between vertical and horizontal mode.
Thanks for the review! What's the difference between the WB and the Crane series?
Thanks for this video. I am a photographer in need of a gimbal with A7RV paired with Tamron 35-150mm heavy long but extremely versatile lens for run & gun event shooting & documentary. Would you recommend the RS3 Pro for the CF arm, auto-lock.... or the Crane 4 for the LED light, wrist support and sling arm? Thanks.
Thank you for this. This is the kind of review I like to watch.

Is it possible to buy combo accessories separately?
hope you guys like another honest review, let me know what you want tested/compared to next
Hi! Great review! Hi I'm having a problem and I want to know if you know how can I fix it. Brand new Crane 4. Charged at home, once fully charged when I unplugged the USB-C the screen won't stop showing the battery icon, never turns off. Even when I power on the unit it shows like it's still charging. Updated to the latest firmware and it does the same thing. Zhiyun support told me via Facebook that it could be a hardware problem with the unit so I got another unit from the retailer, same problem. Also the battery on my Crane 4 on screen appears white even after firmware update, not green with the percentage like yours. Sorry for the large text but I wanted to give you all context. Thank you in advance!!
How are the screws? Kinda hating my DJI RSC2 right now. Looking to buy a newer, better one.
So which is you could only buy one, which one would it be?
Can you do a comparison Crane 4 vs RS3? Better if compared to RS3 Pro ^_^
comparison video with the Dji Rs2 please
Appreciate the review and your thoughts, thanks!

Appreciate your comments. Cheers
I am a cinematographer in my head and I don't understand whether I should take Crane 4 or Daji Ras 3 please tell me which one is the best
What about creative shots? 360 movement?
so it better than the dji rs2 pro or 3pro?
Great review. I wonder how the Crane 4 compares the Crane 3S. It appears to be more compact with some strong motors.

Unfortunately I didn’t but the 3S. I feel like not necessary to upgrade every model but new models tends to be slight better as usual.
I wonder what the weight are crane 4 and weebill 3s in the whole setup? Thank you

The weight of the Weebill 3S is 1647g (without the tripod), and the weight of the Crane 4 is 1672g (without the tripod).
Amazing review!

Thank you my friend
Greetings from Turkey, my dear teacher, I have a weebill 3 gimbal, but vertical shooting is quite difficult and I generally use fujifilm 70 300, should I buy weebill 3s or crane 4?

You can refer to their compatibility list to see if your camera can be vertically balanced~ ;) CRANE 4: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230615/1686815044288-sNTz7KKS.pdf WEEBILL 3S: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230719/1689732328866-c7Eixxwz.pdf
Love the video. Hope you max out the payload too next time.😊

Yea a little unfortunate , the only time I wish I had a heavier camera
Exactly what i wanted from the weebill 3 to be. Think this is gooing to be a good seller
Thanks for this review, it was useful. One complaint/observation though! I don't understand why you include footage taken with IBIS on. Obviously IBIS, or any other post stab system will disguise the shortcomings of any gimbal. I imagine that most, if not all people watching this video are wanting to compare gimbals. The comparison with the WB3S for example, showed very little, as both had IBIS on. You did show some footage with IBIS off, so I was happy with that.
Just to correct. It isn’t softer light it is diffused light. Based on how close and in size the object of light is compared to the subject will determine if it is getting softer or harder.
vs Dji RS3/RS3 Pro pls 😊
[ my first gibal was the crane. amazing lil thing for its time.]

I saw the Nikon Z7/Z8 in the compatibility list but no Z9..zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230620/1687232554044-faG8yzJ8.pdf
Would have been nice if you actually answered your own question. Is it better than DJI?

KZread needs times to process it’s now HD
looks shaky, and it seems to be difficult do do orbit shots which has been my experience with older cranes aswell
Tell a friend what to choose - Weebill 3S or Crane 4? Need super smooth footage with minimal micro-shake

no such thing as super smooth on any gimbal. its mostly body movement and a bit of post my friend. personally I would take the crane 4 for heavy setup and future proofing.
Good thing I didn't buy the Weebill 3 and DJI RS 3. Crane 4 looks good! :D
are you related to the company's owners? great job, my bro
