The POV mode follows all axis which means even if you tilt the gimbal sideways the gimbal is going to follow instead of staying leveled which can be useful for vlogging. I found this very frustrating as a first-time user and had to resort to looking for video tutorials elsewhere just so I could finally start using the gimbal. It runs for approximately seven hours on a built-in battery that's rechargeable using an included micro-USB cable. Adopting a WiFi-and-Bluetooth control module, Crane M2 allows you to control your camera wirelessly through the gimbal handle.

Featuring a more easy-to-use quick setup system and smart lock design, as well as six creative operation modes, CRANE-M2 easily goes wherever you go and offers endless possibilities to your everyday creation. This is because EIS crops the image slightly and compensates for movement by using the extra pixels surrounding the crop as a buffer zone, thus reducing image quality overall.The weight of it makes it easy to use it for longer periods, and I enjoyed using it once it was all set up. Although I had previously used gimbals before when assisting on a shoot, I had never actually taken a brand-new one out of the box and blindly followed the included instructions from the get-go.

As for the footage, even though I had moments where I wanted to put it back in my bag and give up due to how the gimbal handled my specific camera, I still can't fault it too much when it comes to the quality of the actual material, which is something you've already come to expect from all gimbals coming onto the market nowadays.The CRANE-M2 offers 360 pan, 310 tilt, and 324 roll rotation across six modes of operation, including POV and Vortex modes. It’s also possible to do the same over Wi-Fi with your mirrorless or compact camera, although you’ll need to own a compatible camera for this to work ( you can see a full list here).
