Kenny Keller demonstrates his first use of a Zhiyun Crane 2 gimbal in a YouTube video: unboxing, inspecting the case and accessories, charging batteries, mounting the tripod plate and camera, balancing the rig, and powering it on to show follow/lock modes. He prepares to go outside to film a helicopter and other footage.
Shall we begin? Let's begin. Hey, Kenny, Got a package. Awesome. We are getting ready to take our videos to the next level. Very hard sometimes to get smooth shots. Crane two, three. Axis stabilizer. I'm gonna take it out and shoot some video of the helicopter and some other things. Anti slip grip tape. Carrying strap. Crane 2. User's guide. On the reviews, they've said don't just pull down, start trying to use it. Take the time to watch some videos, read the manual. So I am going to do that. Case is real nice, as I expect we'll pull this thing out and take a look. Feel sturdy. You know how it is when you get something out of the box. You know, a first impression. Not that I expected any less. Hole in the bottom for tripod mount. Cords in a nice little case. Charger batteries. Small tripod for the bottom of the gimbal. Very sturdy. I'm impressed. There's your contacts of the box. I checked the batteries and they were not fully charged. The book says give them a full charge, so that's what I'm going to do. When you first plug them in, they'll all be red. And Therehere we are. Three blue lights are all charged up. This goes on like so. And screw our tripod on the bottom. Everything nice and snug. Use this mounting plate. Always. Keep a coin in my pocket so I can quickly tighten up something like that. And we're ready to mount the camera on a gimbal. Okay. I know there's a ton of videos on YouTube on how to balance these things. I was messing with it just for a little bit while the batteries were charging. But I got the essence of it from watching the other videos and reading the manual. Slide this until it clicks. And let me give you a better shot here. Gonna move this forward and backwards until it wants to stay level. Looks pretty good. So there's a lockdown over here on this side. Let's fire this baby up. Hold it in. Lights are coming on the display. The whole unit just came alive. It's on pf. Here we go again. This is first time using one of these. So pan and follow can do this. And it's not going to picture up or down with the camera. It'll follow the twist grip anywhere you want to go. But it's going to stay level. And then you click the mode a second time for lock. Now this one, it locks the same direction it's pointing that the camera is going to follow. And this will actually include up and down lock. Joystick up. Camera goes up a great opportunity. I have one of my instructors outside going out with a student, and I said, hey, I'm trying to get ready to try out this gimbal. Do you guys care if I come out and shoot some video of you while you're getting in the aircraft and getting ready to take off and go fly? All right, I'm gonna grab my coat and head outside. Shall we begin? Let's begin. It's. It's sam. This is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill. Is that all you got?
