Zhiyun Unveils 3 Solutions

Zhiyun has unveiled the Crane 4 gimbal and Molus G200 and Fiveray V60 lighting instruments.

Crafted with a lighter design than previous versions and an integrated 1.22" color touchscreen, the Zhiyun Crane 4 offers built-in balance-indicator lights at each motor, as well as Bluetooth connectivity that provides direct shutter control to supporting cameras.

An adjustable sling grip, combined with the ergonomic wrist rest, supports fine-tuned angle adjustment. The grip can be adjusted to match the gimbal’s central axis, allowing easy switching between sling style and two-handed modes. The Crane 4 can move full-frame DSLR and compact cinema cameras such as the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K, ZCam and Sigma FP series. Four high-capacity 18650 batteries provide up to 12 hours runtime and can be fully recharged in under two hours via USB PD fast charging. The gimbal also features a built-in 10-watt fill light with max illuminance of 3,200 lux, CRI 95+ and CCT between 2,700-5,500K.

The Zhiyun Crane 4 lists for $699.
