I went from a blackbird, to a pilotfly to a crane 2 (the big one not the crane 1v2). The thing I dont like about the crane is how little control I have of settings.  With the pilotfly I had a nice dead zone then a very slow ramp up and down.  it meant you could get the great smooth circular tracks, and the smoothness would iron out any accidental extra twists. 

So. I'm thinking of ditching it in favour of ronin S. Am I right to think that I will get as much control as I do with the phantom? That I can control acceleration and deceleration, dead zone and what nots?

If not, where should I look.  

Its a shame about zhiyun, the crane 3 lab looks fab, but I'm waiting to hear if the only control will be through that goddam awful zy app.

Tried the Ronin-S but the big grip and the weight prevented me from using it on long shoots. Recently been using Zhiyun Crane 2 and Zhiyun Crane plus. But I agree the options and control can be frustrating. Currently favoring the Plus just because I can stick it inside a bag and bring it anywhere.

I might be missing something here but you can adjust the settings of Crane 2 on the PC application. It gives you control over movement speed, deadzone, smoothness etc.
