I've been super on the fence between getting a Ronin M or a Zhiyun Crane. I think I'm leaning towards the crane because it's much more portable realistically enabling more shooting freedom.

I know I unfortunately won't be able to use my lovely Sigma 18-35mm due to the size, so was wondering - which lenses do you all use on your GH4/crane set up and for what scenarios?

How is your experience?

Thank you!

I have the lite, which works fine, but am interested in the crane and the longer version. They also have little wheels that attack to the bottom of the crane that made me giggle... want them too...

does anyone have any tips on how to get steady speed on sliders with out crank other then handpush.pull? I've been using rubber bands with my lite slider and gh2, rokinon 35mm and loupe gets good results most of the time

maybe a future deal on here? eh
