I’ll start by detailing compatibility: The Crane 2 Servo Follow Focus is only compatible with the Zhiyun-tech Crane 2 running firmware version 1.72 or greater. The optional remote control does not control this unit separately, but instead communicates through the Bluetooth on the Crane 2, which in turn controls this unit through a cable. Pros: It’s a very well made unit. The casing is made of a high quality extruded aluminum enclosure. The build quality is excellent. There are a number of ways this can be mounted in addition to the typical mount the Manufacture provides out of the box. The motor can be configured to run at three different speeds and reversed for different orientations. It will work with the provided two universal adjustable lens gears, or you can purchase custom third party seamless gears, which I recommend, for easier balancing and more control over electronic focus gears that have infinite spin. The focus wheel also supports an ABpoint setting that allows you to set a two point keep out zone, incase you are using the provided universal gears or a lense that has true focal distance stops. Cons: I received a unit that required a Firmware update to work with the ABpoint setting. That firmware and the updated “Zhiyun Gimbal Tools.exe” program version 1.3.3, to install it, as of today, March 6, 2018, is only available through email support. Suggestion: The provided mount point is suitable for most applications, but I’ve seen some creative mounts that are far more usable. I suggest getting creative and using a mount point that attaches either to the monfroto style quick mount plate or the hot-shoe of the camera. I am able to attach directly to the newer version of the Crane 2 Mount Plate for the G5. The lense support can be removed from this plate and the post and screw that comes with Servo Follow Focus can be mounted to either side. The advantage of mounting somewhere on or above the mounting plate is in balancing the entire unit becomes a breeze. If you mount to the provided spot, it is much more difficult to balance the Gimbal. Longer extensions can be added for longer lenses, and I have even seen folks make rods out of carbon fiber that are attached to a horseshoe clamp. At some point using a very long and wide lenses will limit your standard options and require more customization on your part to attach the servo follow focus securely. Note: Depending on your lense and the distance the servo follow focus has to be mounted from your camera, your setup may require you to purchase a longer cable, or an extension, to attach your camera to the Servo Follow Focus if you are using one of the many compatable cameras that integrate with the other Crane 2 controls. Conclusion: There are third party Follow Focus options out there, but none of them will integrate with the Crane 2 like this one does. The unit has an excellent aluminum build quality and works perfectly when running on the latest Firmwares for the Crane 2 and the Servo itself. There are many compatible and standard 0.8 mod (size) seamless third party focus gears that are available on eBay and through other sources for as cheap as $8 and up to $30 when I wrote this review. I highly recommend using this with a third party seamless gear, especially if your target lens has an infinite electronic focus wheel, but it is not required. Review: Some Design Problems - Bought this for my work - when needing to use a lower cost DSLR camera for lower budget shooting. It is an add on and is a little clunky to use. I gave up on it and moved to a ronin-s with an integrated follow focus. Adding weight is always a problem for using these rigs and having to mount it is a problem in that respect. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0794V7TF3 | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (32) | | Date First Available | January 19, 2018 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 6.2 ounces | | Item model number | Servo Follow Focus | | Manufacturer | Zhiyun | | Product Dimensions | 3.35 x 1.81 x 1.38 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ZHIYUN - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Item Weight:** 176 Grams - **UPC:** 611968667862 609792364675 ## Images ![Zhiyun Crane 2 Servo Follow Focus Mechanical Supports Real Time Focus for All Camera Canon Panasonic Nikon Sony - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gBv1bBiiL.jpg) ![Zhiyun Crane 2 Servo Follow Focus Mechanical Supports Real Time Focus for All Camera Canon Panasonic Nikon Sony - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NNjYrgMpL.jpg) ![Zhiyun Crane 2 Servo Follow Focus Mechanical Supports Real Time Focus for All Camera Canon Panasonic Nikon Sony - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fiBCLG6GL.jpg) ![Zhiyun Crane 2 Servo Follow Focus Mechanical Supports Real Time Focus for All Camera Canon Panasonic Nikon Sony - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KvdFjj1gL.jpg) ![Zhiyun Crane 2 Servo Follow Focus Mechanical Supports Real Time Focus for All Camera Canon Panasonic Nikon Sony - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eTXm36nQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic product! *by D***E on February 25, 2018* This is a positive updated review to my initial low review.

It is an add on and is a little clunky to use. I gave up on it and moved to a ronin-s with an integrated follow focus. Adding weight is always a problem for using these rigs and having to mount it is a problem in that respect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent *by K***R on September 15, 2018* Overall it's okay. It takes a while to set up (make sure you follow the instructions, it's not as intuitive as Zhiyun's other devices). My biggest concern is you can only focus so much with the follow focus ring before the lock jams into the gear on the Servo. I can only use about 50% of the total focus range. Perhaps this is because my 45mm lens is so small which allows for less pulling distance by the servo. Perhaps on a fat pair of cine lenses this might not pose a problem. Regardless, I think this is a useful device to have. Also, for those who use Panasonic cameras with the 2 inch control cable that came with your Crane 2, you may want to buy a longer control cable. The 2 incher is useless when you have to adjust the Servo near the front of a long pair of lens. It's not ideal to always keep the Servo 2 inches away from your camera. Twelve inch cables run for about $25-$30. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/56164804-zhiyun-crane-2-servo-follow-focus-mechanical-supports-real-time](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/56164804-zhiyun-crane-2-servo-follow-focus-mechanical-supports-real-time) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
