Using Zhiyun Crane-M2S with Sony A7C...Which Lens?

This gimbal has a rating of 2.2 lbs which means my A7c and Sony F4 15-35 PZ may be a bit too large or heavy. Has anyone here tried that camera/lens combo with the Crane M2S?

I spent a couple hours trying to figure out the M3 vs the M2S. I think you are in the weight limit. But, the stronger motors in the M3 are likely to make a difference.

Thanks...I think the M3 might be overkill for what I might end up doing...video with the A7C and the little kit lens would probably do me just fine. But the PZ feature is appealing on the 15=35. I'm closing in on 80 years and that is going to impact my strength to hold the camera/ gimbal for sustained periods so the lighter the better.

This topic is a few weeks old. Since then a new choice has been released that has the potential of being lighter, stronger and more capable.

Reviews of the "DJI RS 3 Mini" are very positive. It weighs 1.9 pounds and can hold a 4.4 pound camera and lens.

The Zhiyun Crane-M2S is a little lighter at 1.2 pounds and can only carry a 2.2 pound camera and lens.

The Zhiyun M3 weighs 2.2 pounds and can carry a 2.5 pound camera and lens.
