This B&H Kit features the Zhiyun-Tech Crane v2 3-Axis Stabilizer, a dedicated Dual Handle, and a Bluetooth Remote Controller. The Dual Handle allows you to operate the gimbal with two hands, while the Bluetooth Remote makes it easier to control the gimbal's functions when it's used with the Dual Handle. The Bluetooth Remote can also be used from a distance when you have the Crane v2 mounted on a tripod or other support gear. The gimbal supports mirrorless and DSLR cameras up to 3.9 lb.
Zhiyun-Tech Crane v2 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer
The Zhiyun-Tech Crane v2 is a 3-axis handheld gimbal stabilizer offering 360° rotation along all three axes. It offers button-powered continuous rotation along the pan axis, and manual non-stop circular rotation along the tilt and roll axes.
The Crane is designed for DSLR and mirrorless cameras weighing up to 3.9 lb, such as the Sony a7S and Panasonic GH4, and includes an attachable lens support for long lenses. The Crane features three 32-bit MCUs (motor control units) running in parallel at 4000 Hz, and has a stepless joystick at your fingertips that allows switching between different modes. Cameras attach by securing a simple thumbscrew without any tools, and full setup can be achieved within a minute.
A 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole on the bottom also allows use with monopods and various other support equipment. The Crane can also be controlled wirelessly from an iOS/Android app (available from Zhiyun-Tech) via a built-in Bluetooth connection to your phone. The Crane runs on and comes with two 26500 batteries which feature a 12- to 18-hour runtime.

Zhiyun-Tech Dual Handgrip for Crane/Crane-M Gimbals
Use the Dual Handgrip from Zhiyun-Tech to reduce fatigue when operating your Crane Plus gimbal. Holding the gimbal with both hands also produces smoother, more professional-looking footage when filming with your camcorder, gimbal-mounted DSLR, mirrorless camera, or smartphone. By transferring movement from your wrist to your body's core, this two-handed grip increases the time you can shoot comfortably. The versatile Dual Handgrip can be grasped overhanded, or underhanded (inverted mode).
Constructed of a lightweight, durable aluminum alloy, the Dual Handgrip features thumb-lever fasteners, and rubberized handles for a secure grip. The handles detach from the crossbar for increased portability, and each handle incorporates a 1/4"-20 mounting thread for attaching to a tripod or other support for stationary shots.
