Using the CRANE 2S Motor Torque Adjustment When using the CRANE 2S, you have to adjust the appropriate motor velocity parameters according to the weight of your camera and lens, so that the CRANE 2S can be used in its ideal state. We recommend using automatic tuning first. The definitions and operation methods of the three motor torque methods are as follows: Auto torque adjustment: Automatically adjusts the power of the motor according to the weight of the camera and lens.
Using the CRANE 2S Operation Modes The red circle indicates that the motor will rotate along with the grip movement. The gray circle means the motor is locked and cannot move along with the grip movement.
