The Zhiyun CINEPEER CRANE 4E Gimbal Stabilizer retains the familiar form factor and lightweight handling of the CRANE 4 while offering a simplified design without the built-in fill light and balance indicator. Engineered for smooth, precise stabilization, it supports 360° pan, 207° tilt, and 70° roll rotation, all easily controlled via intuitive onboard controls.
A 1.22" color touchscreen provides quick access to settings and adjustments, streamlining your workflow on set. Designed for creators who want reliable performance in a more streamlined package, the CRANE 4E delivers professional stabilization with a straightforward, efficient user experience.
Lightweight Design, Extended Arm Length
- With the CRANE 4E redesign comes an extended arm length and stronger motors, which expand the gimbal and lens compatibility to DSLR, mirrorless, and compact cinema cameras with full-frame lenses attached.
- The gimbal weighs just 3.6 lb but has a load capacity capable of supporting cameras like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, Nikon Z8, Panasonic LUMIX S1H, and Sony a7S III, all with full-frame lenses attached.
Native Vertical Mount, Lens Support
The CRANE 4E features an integrated horizontal and vertical lock structure, allowing effortless side-mounting for native vertical shots. A lens support is included to ensure your heavier lenses are supported from below for easier balancing.
Bluetooth 5.0 Shutter Control
While the included camera control cables offer the option for wired shutter control, avoid complicated cable runs by using the embedded Bluetooth 5.0 shutter control. Wirelessly control your compatible camera's shutter and toggle recording via the onboard controls and touchscreen.

Follow Focus and Video Transmitter Integration
Attach additional pro-level tools to the CRANE 4E to communicate with others on set. Two USB-C ports at the front of the camera mounting area can connect follow focus motors for remote camera control.
Another USB-C port at the back of the camera accepts the included camera control cables or connects to the separately available TransMount Image Transmission system. The transmitter unit can mount onto the bottom of your gimbal's baseplate to communicate with its corresponding viewing monitor.

Four built-in 18650 batteries with a 2600mAh total capacity offer a runtime of 12 hours to shoot all-day events.
The USB-C charging port supports PD fast charging to get you back up and running in 1.5 hours. You can charge the gimbal while it's in use to keep capturing the action.
