The Zhiyun CRANE 4 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer Combo Kit is a professional-grade stabilizer engineered for filmmakers and photographers who demand the most from their full-frame rigs. With a massive 13.2 lb load capacity, extended arm design, and powerful motors, it supports heavy camera-and-lens combos from brands like Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Blackmagic — all while keeping the gimbal itself at a remarkably lightweight 3.6 lb.
This Combo Kit elevates the shooting experience further with a sling grip and ergonomic wrist rest for low-angle and two-handed operation, Bluetooth 5.0 wireless shutter control, a built-in 3200-lux fill light with adjustable 2700–5500K color temperature, and a 1.22″ color touchscreen for real-time axis balancing, creative modes, and full gimbal management — all backed by a 12-hour battery runtime with PD fast charging.
