Can someone specify what are the differences between V1 and V2?

Do you all believe that the Crane is the best small stabilizer?

A lot of people use the Beholder here, are they comparable?

Thanks.

V2 has a built in quick release system, shorter handle and different batteries, payload is the same as v1. I think it's a pretty universal consensus that the crane is easily the best pistol grip gimbal around, bar none.

Hi

I have had my crain v2 for a few days now fitted with a canon eso 650d. the problem I'm having is after a short time of using the joy stick.I can feel a tension building up in the handle. if I then either loosen my grip or hold the gimble by the top. the handle will spin out of control for a few seconds until it stops. Its like its being wound up by an rubber band until you let go and off it spins. Any idea what is going on here? or do I need to return it?  cheers.

I have the zhiyun v2 and I've been facing problems recently where when I pan in locking or follow mode and my camera begins horizontal , it starts to roll as I pan it. It use to just pan and stay horizontal but now it's goes diagonally. I've tried to recalibrate but I can't even get past the third step. I've tried with and without release adapter as well and have tried without putting stuff beneath the motors as well. IMG_0890.MOV

hi I bought a Zhiyun crane, I would use it on a sony 7s, but it seems that I do not take pictures or movies from the button set. Now I would like to ask you if there are any paticular settings to be entered on the camera. Is the connecting cable required from the gimbal to the camera? can you help me?
