ZHIYUN stands out as a leader in camera gimbals, and its latest model, the Cinepeer Crane 4E Stabilizer, exemplifies this excellence.
With enhanced stabilization and a lightweight, user-friendly design, the Crane 4E offers ergonomic, professional-grade performance at an affordable price.
Weighing just 1630g, the Crane 4E is meticulously designed to improve weight distribution, reducing wrist strain on the camera operator by up to twenty-five percent while lightening the overall load by twenty percent in sling mode.

Engineered with high-torque motors and robust axis arms, the Crane 4E can stabilize full-frame and cinema cameras such as the Canon C70 equipped with the RF-24-70mm f2.8 L IS USM lens, and the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro paired with the EF 85mm f1.2 L II USB lens.
It also supports other compatible models, including the Nikon Z9, Panasonic S1H, and Sony FX6.
The Crane 4E features an easy-to-install quick-release system with built-in horizontal and vertical locks, along with a side mount for vertical shooting.
Users can install twin servo zoom and focus motors for adjustment via dedicated wheels integrated into the handle.

This gimbal provides a tilt mechanical range of +220° to -103°, a roll mechanical range of +71° to -251°, and a full pan mechanical range of 360°. It maintains an impressive deviation of just +/- 0.3° during motion and +/- 0.04° in static configurations.
The adjustable Sling Grip and wrist rest extend the overall length and directional options of the grip, offering filmmakers various angles to capture the action.
The Dual-Handle mode provides additional filming options, reducing fatigue and allowing for angle adjustments.
Additionally, the handle includes a camera parameter control wheel for adjusting settings like shutter speed, aperture, and ISO when connected to the camera via Bluetooth.
The Crane 4E boasts excellent battery life, with a published duration of up to 12 hours and a rapid two-hour recharge time through PD Fast Charging for its 2600 mAh grip battery.
Users can even operate the gimbal while charging, eliminating concerns about downtime from insufficient power.
