Have to say I'm not sure why you got worse footage with this axis. I've seen this being used and the footage was definitely better compared to without. The springs are quite fiddly to get right and you need the thicker ones for heavier equipment. It's a sort of trial and error process similar to the balancing required with an old school steadicam.
As you say mind, if used correctly the Crane is quite adequate without this axis. Although running shots can be a lot of fun to do but often impossible to get 100% smooth without a 4th axis on your gimbal. In which case a cheap steadicam would probably suffice instead.
which one is better? Ronin S is expensive. I saw anoth video introducing FeiyuTech AK2000. I think it will be bettery.
I used the z-arm for the Osmo and I saw the same results you did. the problem is that the spring requires a certain damping to control the bounce. I have found that if you do the ninja walk; sliding across the ground without lifting your knees work better. I don't understand why the gimbal makers can't come up with a single axis electric motor to control the fourth axis as an add-on.
I just got one and think you take the time to learn the tool you can get better results.. I've seen it
You have to set the damping differently if you are running. Did you do that?
I think I'm gonna practice more instead of investing in a 4th axis add-on. Thank you for this informative video
nice video friend
Nice!! Will the ZHIYUN WEEBILL LAB work with this?
Tools only work if you use them correctly….From the bouncing it was doing when you jumped up & down, I kinda figured you didn't adjust the springs the way you should have. You're only supposed to see movement in the arms, the center should more or less stay still.
But does the lens have OS ? Maybe it makes no difference for a rig with a lens with OS but take that away and it may improve the footage alot
Hello
I have a problem with my crane2 i am shooting some Car detailing videos
My client is working with turbo pressure cleaning air guns
When that gun start my crane start vibrating can you tell me what to do ?
if it works with a steadicam instead of gimbal… ill be down for it..
Can you do a running test? I've mastered the ninja walk even on uneven surface so this is obsolete for me. However if this allows me to run with my gimbal I might buy it.
I won't be buying this product
Add 5% warp Stabiliser. Save money and hassle and luggage
looking at your video with the man walking I cant see the difference? look at the building roof both clips are stable what am I missing??
Awesome vid! I've been wondering about these things like nobodies business. Super thrilled you covered this man. Keep it up! 👍💯
You should have tested it while running up stairs..
I’ve noticed that you sometimes have your cage on your camera when it’s on your gimbal. I’ve not done that yet. I tend to remove my SmallRig cage from my SonyA6500 before mounting on my Crane Plus. I would prefer to leave the cage on. How much more trouble is it to leave the cage on?
I don' think a 4th axis is necessary. But, I do want a handle bar attachment for my gimbal so I can attach monitors, mics, and other accessories. Good review, Josh. You're always on top of the world of gimbals.
Hell yezzzzzz, need one!
Mate, this was a ripoff of the designs from Scotty Makes Stuff. I've been in talks with him about this.

Very nice
Scotty Makes Stuff produces a much better overall package that even supports the wireless remote…still watching your video though to see your final thoughts.
Edit: agree with you on those points. 🙂
