Expanded Zhiyun Crane 4 Key Features:

Powerful Professional Gimbal

The Zhiyun Crane 4 is a powerful yet portable gimbal with several upgrades on previous Crane models. With a longer arm, more robust motors, and an extended quick-release plate, the Crane 4 is compatible with full-frame DSLR and compact cine cameras. You can remove the guesswork from stabilising your rig, as the gimbal has balance indicator lights that accurately let you know when your setup is balanced. Alongside stabilised footage, the Crane 4 will deliver quality lighting in a portable form, providing you with everything you need for incredible results. The built-in 10W fill light has a max illuminance of 3200 Lux, a temperature range of 2700K-5500K, and a colour rendering index of +95.

The gimbal is tailor-made for cinematic sequences, shown by its impressive features and compatibility with a wide range of separately available professional accessories that support remote and collaborative work environments. Finally, it has dual-follow focus ports to get accurate focusing in external dual servo focus controllers. These can be used with the TransMount Image Transmission system to focus and zoom while you monitor your work. To support all these features, the Crane 4 has four 18650 batteries with a 12-hour run time so that you can shoot all day without fear. When your battery does run low, it will reach a full charge after a minimum of 1 hour and 50 minutes, thanks to PD fast charging. With the Crane 4, you can also charge while you shoot and avoid any interruptions to your workflow.

Ergonomic Design

Despite being loaded with features, the Zhiyun Crane 4 remains a lightweight, portable gimbal with an ergonomic, energy-saving design optimised for extended use. The increased payload and more durable build have little influence on the gimbal’s weight, as Zihyun has crafted a relatively lightweight tool to achieve the best possible handling. The Crane 4 is compatible with the separately available sling grip and wrist rest for increased comfort and precise shooting control. Another clever design element is the silicone protective sleeve that covers the axis arms to ensure long-term use and reduce wear and tear. The gimbal also comes with a magnetic tightening wrench that you can use whenever necessary during shoots. With various adjustable features, the Zhiyun Crane 4 is customisable to suit your needs.

Built For Versatility

With flexible connectivity options and access to various modes and functions, the Zhiyun Crane 4 can be used to streamline your workflow. The gimbal is compatible with multiple devices, from smartphones to small cinema cameras, delivering stunning results regardless of your chosen shooting method. It can be connected to your camera or device using rapid Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity or with the included cables. Using Bluetooth, you can control your camera’s shutter to start/stop recordings or take photos, encouraging smooth operation while in the gimbal. With the unique, extended quick-release module, you can switch between portrait and landscape orientations quickly and securely using the horizontal and vertical lock structure. There is also customisation available via the trigger button and front dial on the Crane 4 to adjust parameters such as ISO, shutter and aperture, focus motor, and gimbal mode right. If those do not provide enough control, you can access features like motion timelapse from the 1.22-inch colour touchscreen for increased creative options. Whether you’re a content creator, a filmmaker, or a videographer, the Crane 4 has the versatility to help you bring your sharp, stabilised shots to life.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
