gethin Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I went from a blackbird, to a pilotfly to a crane 2 (the big one not the crane 1v2). The thing I dont like about the crane is how little control I have of settings. With the pilotfly I had a nice dead zone then a very slow ramp up and down. it meant you could get the great smooth circular tracks, and the smoothness would iron out any accidental extra twists. So. I'm thinking of ditching it in favour of ronin S. Am I right to think that I will get as much control as I do with the phantom? That I can control acceleration and deceleration, dead zone and what nots? If not, where should I look. Its a shame about zhiyun, the crane 3 lab looks fab, but I'm waiting to hear if the only control will be through that goddam awful zy app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielVranic Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I have the Ronin. Love it and it has a ton of control! I had a Crane and those little twists and pans made it unbearable - never had that roblem with the Ronin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRat Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Tried the Ronin-S but the big grip and the weight prevented me from using it on long shoots. Recently been using Zhiyun Crane 2 and Zhiyun Crane plus. But I agree the options and control can be frustrating. Currently favoring the Plus just because I can stick it inside a bag and bring it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives you control over movement speed, deadzone, smoothness etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
