So after a colleague pointed it out to me, turns out that I’ve received VERSION 1 of the Crane, not V2 as was promised in this drop ! Does anyone else have this problem too?
zoomnclick After looking into your purchases you had actually participated in the drop for the Crane V1 in late February and the V2 didn't come out until April.
We changed the photos and the description once the Crane V2 came out and that may be causing some confusion but please let me know if this is not the case.
JaysunHello JaySun. as far as I recall, the order I placed was for V2. The email I received from you folks also links to the V2 page when I click on it
JaysunYeah, this is really, really dodgy. The description and everything says v2. Go look at the page right now. Even the video you link to is v2.
Edit: Is there a difference between v2 and Crane-2?
If you would like the Crane-2 go to this link below:

This drop is for the Crane v2 which is quite different. You are also replying to a 19 week old post that was in reference to the V1 and V2 differences not the Crane-2.
JaysunI have the first edition. In a similar confusion, I thought I was getting the 2nd edition.
The recently launched 3rd edition is the one that supports DSLRs. Mine can somewhat support a D810 with a 50mm, but you cant pan so swiftly with it. Works great for mirrorless though
JaysunReally goofy naming convention from Zhiyun. The only reason I replied is because it was kind of confusing seeing the drop info all show V2 and also seeing the 2 out there. I understand the difference now, but Zhiyun should rename the product. :/
Thanks for the clarification.
DittoboxThis is probably the number 1 most confusing aspect to this product and I agree with you 100%.
That being said the functional aspect of the product itself is excellent.
