it-manIt will work, but doesn’t give any special functions really... focus tracking doesn’t work. You can do all your iso shutter and appature with the little canon cable ”hack” and that helps a bit. But if your in no rush to pick up a gimbal, wait for the ronin s... maybe it might be better?
AlbertCAThe batteries are loose 18650's which are easy to get. Can you just removed the batteries from the packaging. I know I know, no you can't. Well, you could but you won't. No problem. These are available elsewhere for Canadians.

Never ordered from that site before, but I thought I'd take a chance. Other people stand by the site with positive reviews.
Won't know the legitimacy until it arrives though.
Plus I paid through PayPal, so I should be able to get my money back if I run into any funny business with my order.
I will update this comment if I receive it before the drop ends.
This is not a post to compete with Massdrop, this is simply for my fellow people looking to save some cash.
UPDATE: 02/14/2018
eglobalcentral.com notified me that it is currently being packaged to ship.
UPDATE: 02/15/2018
Received a txt update from DHL this morning that the Crane 2 has shipped and should be delivered tomorrow 02/16/2018!
So far so good!
UPDATE: 02/16/2018
DHL sent me a notification that the Crane 2 has been delivered. I will take photos once I get home.
FINAL UPDATE: 02/16/18
The Crane 2 was delivered and works perfectly. Brand New Free Shipping from HONG KONG to California in 3 days!!!! If the sale is still going, jump on it. It was a shot in the dark, but was completely worth it.
Ok, so I looked it up on the site itself: it is a seller's warranty and not a manufacturers warranty (emphasis added by me)
Please note that all our products are imported goods and will not come with manufacturer's warranty but instead we will cover the warranty through our own company. Link to the warranty page:
https://www.eglobalcentral.com/warranty-policy.html
So it seems like these are Grey market products. In some cases a manufacturer would still grant your warranty claim under their own warranty, but that would be either generosity from their side or sometimes just a mistake if the person handling your claim didn't check the warranty status properly.
For me it won't rule out purchasing from this site, but I will certainly be more careful when deciding which products I will or will not buy from this site.
As they say: caveat emptor
