Question about Zhiyun Crane 2
Can a Zhiyun Crane 2 be used to control a Nikon D850 (follow focus; aperture; ISO etc)? The video only mentions Canon, Sony and Panasonic. But on your site it also says Nikon?
Hello,
has anyone tried it practically with the D850 and the Crane 2? We don't want to succeed.
I also have another problem, the focus puller motor always flashes yellow briefly 3 times, does anyone have any ideas?
As already written in my review: With the latest firmware v1.73, the Crane is now fully compatible with the Nikon D850, including follow focus and remote control via buttons on the handle.
As a Sony user, I can only share my experience with the Alpha a99: it doesn't work with Sony settings, but sometimes with Canon cables and settings on the Crane 2 (single focus and movie release are then possible). So with "Sony" it will rather work with new cameras. Both the firmware of the device and the Zhiyun app could still improve a little.
Is it possible to control the manual focus (and other remote control functions) from a Canon 750D? or is this only possible with the 5D2/5D3 5D4 models?
No, currently the Zhiyun cannot control Follow Focus on Nikon cameras, nor on Sony cameras. Follow Focus is currently only possible with Canon cameras. I haven't tried out ISO etc. yet, I use a Sony A6300 on the Crane 2.
