Thank you for a very good demonstration of the capabilities of the Zhiyun crane with the NX1.

To my mind the NX500 with 16-50 Pz lens would work even better, less fatigue from holding the weight and possibly less drain on the Crane's battery.

Thanks,

The problem with the NX500 is the cropped video, it makes a wide angle unappealing to use.

The NX1 and 16-50pz doesn't feel too heavy.  And mounted on the Crane you get about 12 hours battery life.  I have the new version with the larger batteries and to be honest, if the NX1 is balanced properly it shouldn't use any more battery than a NX500.
