Source: store.zhiyun-tech.com (verified 2026-06-19) · corroborated by cined.com. Corrected. Price $669 (standard) / $749 (combo) confirmed on Zhiyun store and CineD. Weight 1,673 g / 3.69 lb confirmed (Videomaker, MakeUseOf, CineD). Battery 12 hours via four 18650 cells confirmed (Newsshooter, CineD). 1.22-inch color touchscreen confirmed. max_payload_lb NULLED: the draft's 9.9 lb (4.5 kg) is unsupported and matches the RS 4 Pro figure (likely copy error); CineD explicitly states 'ZHIYUN does not specify a maximum payload' for the Crane 4. Some retailers cite 13.2 lb / 5.98 kg but that is not manufacturer-published, so null beats a guess. Released July 2023.
