videos but if you want the opinion of someone just like you who purchased this

gear and trying to figure out exactly what to do with it this video is for you

Hi, today we'll be showing you how to operate the new Zhiyun Crane M2 together

with the Sony rx100 Mark 5A you can use this for the Sony rx100 mark 1 series

all the way to the mark 7 series it will be the same except for probably the mark

6 and the 7 will be slightly heavier but still it will balance the same way as

what you do with the Mark 5A

To start off we'll be balancing the MarkA

on the Crane M2.

We'll be showing you how to do it in a few easy steps so

first you attach the given plate and the screw

the Sony Mark 5 A

What we do is there are two slots here, the shorter side and the longer side.

We will choose the shorter side to stop in for this Sony rx100

so just screw it in

Okay, so once you screw it in, next you have to release the lock on

the Crane M 2

The Crane M2 comes with a lock

then make sure your gimbal doesn't move around when it is in the bag

You release the lock screw

you can start your balancing process

First, you attach the plate on to the

Crane M2 - there's a lock

you lock it up . The next thing you do turn, on the camera because this lens

itself adds weight to the front of the camera

so in order to balance probably

you need to turn on the camera to balance. You start on balancing by

balancing the roll axes which is this red button over here

Next you balance the tilt axes,

point to the sky, it is this axes here that you need a balance

this is called the tilt axes. So, you turn on the screw here

you need to make micro adjustments to make sure it's balanced

it's balanced on the tilt and now the front side

okay, it's balance. After you your balances the tilt side, you need to

balance this pin as well, to make sure it's balanced properly and last but

not least you have to balance the pan axes as well.

So the balancing lever is here so what you do put it parallel to the ground, okay, right now you can see

it's not balanced

loosen up

okay as long as it is parallel to the ground it's balanced

so that's basically three aces to take note.

First is the row axes, second is the

tilt axes and last but not least would be your pan axes here. So once everything

is done just to a bit of micro adjustments to make sure it's balanced

properly

Why they need to balance is that if you don't balance it properly

it will not work on the vortex mode so in order to see whether your camera is

properly balanced, there's two ways to check it. First, you just position it as

long as it doesn't move too much it is balance. Next, you can turn on the

gimbal

press and hold up the site button. Go on to the vortex mode which is double

click to go to the go, double click to go to the vortex. Take a spin

If it spins well is balanced. So now you go back to the PF move and you click the

back button here

To make it back to usual position.

So you double click on the back button there

Next, we'll be heading back to the studio to show you how to link up your Zhiyun Play

on your phone together with the Sony rx100 Mark 5A to the Crane M2

Okay, so right now we are back to the studio we'll show you how to connect the

Rx100 mark 5A to the Crane M2 using the Zhiyun play app. So you just download the

Zhiyun Play app to your phone, turn it on

Find your crane, so this is the Crane m2

okaym you found Crane M2- so you press the connect now but before you do so

make sure you turn on the Crane M2- so you on the device this still show that

Crane M2 - you press connect it's connected. Then you enter again you ask

you to select device type camera or smartphone you press camera and you

enter now. At the same time, make sure your camera is on and for the camera

you have to go to the menu

go to the control wit smartphone mode on your camera (Network 1 Page 1)

I'm not sure if you can see this

Go to the menu

Control with smartphone, connection Wi-Fi standby

Same time go to Wi-Fi here and

search for the camera

so is trying to connect your device.

Because I've connected it earlier I do

not need to go through the process of finding the QR code. On the first try you

can just scan the QR code on your camera to the phone and it will auto connect .

In fact, once you connect your Sony rx100 to the Crane m2 for the next time around

you need not to use the Zhiyun play app to do the connection. What you need to do

is simply turn on the Crane M2, turn on the camera ,make sure the control with

Wi-Fi is on and you automatically connect for you

Oh shoots my button drop!

so what happened just now was that the button here was missing from the Crane M2

it came off and drop into the bag .

As you can see the button can be easily pop off

so - be careful when you're using the Crane M2, especially when you are

outside,

Make sure the button is always on before you store it after use

okay once it is connected what you can do with this is that you can control the zoom of

the camera from the crane and you can also record on and off from the crane

itself one click to record on video one click to stop

you can also press the record button to take a photo but you need to exit the

video mode from your camera to go to the camera mode - it could be aperture

priority , shutter priority or just auto mode. So, what you do is just to double

click on the red button here it'll auto focus and then will snap a photo

One of the things during the course of use is to note- is that the connection sometimes

can be a little bit iffy, so what happens is that once the camera is connected to

the Crane m2 you can use it to zoom but for recording purposes sometimes it

works sometimes it doesn't work

If that happens to you what you need to do is

just to switch off the Crane M2 and turn it on again and it should work and that is how

you connect the Crane M2 to the rx100 Mark 5A . Now, we'll hit back outdoors to

to check on the various shooting modes of theCrane m2 on the Sony rx100 Mark 5A

There are six modes on the Crane M2 - the first off is the pan follow mode

which is follows your arm , after the pam follow mode you click once and you have

the lock mode .Lock mode ensures your screen stays to the front, so no matter

how you positioned, it will still stay to the front

After the lock mode, is POV mode for one more click .so POV Morgause in full 360

motion. We go back to the pan follow mode and you double click it goes to the go mode

Go mode is the sport mode so you can twist your Gimbal and the camera

whips from side to side

and after Go mode you double-click again it goes to the Vortex mode so a

vortex mode spins your camera around

okay, you can also go pan follow mode and press follow. This will

follow the crane itself

Click on the button here go back to pan follow

double click behind and it will go back to the original position

okay, there's also a selfie mode on the Crane M2- so you just triple click on

the back button here

and go to selfie mode

okay - to exit the selfie mode, you'll just have to triple click it on a back button

and you'll go back to the original position

Other than shooting it on a horizontal axis, you can also shoot your camera in

the vertical axis. You do not need a special cag for this. What you need to

do is just to on the pan follow mode, tilt the camera and you can start

shooting on a pan follow mode

If you want a better effect for vertical shooting, we

do suggest you to click it to the lock mode, so this will be locked

wherever you shoot .

Here's a video sample

Okay to change it from vertical mode to horizontal motion simply just moved up and it

will be changed to horizontal mode.

Okay , we'll be showing you some video samples

that we took on the pan follow mode, the lock mode, the point of view mode, the

follow mode, the go mode as well as a vortex mode

This marks the end of the demonstration between this new Zhiyun Crane m2 together

with the Sony rx100 Mark 5A. This will probably work the same with the Sony

rx100 series from Mark one to Mark seven.
