I also did some digging and found a promo code for 1-10% off. Code: VALENTINES After everything it was only $561.63 Free Shipping 4-5 Days
Never ordered from that site before, but I thought I'd take a chance. Other people stand by the site with positive reviews. Won't know the legitimacy until it arrives though. Plus I paid through PayPal, so I should be able to get my money back if I run into any funny business with my order.
I will update this comment if I receive it before the drop ends.
This is not a post to compete with Massdrop, this is simply for my fellow people looking to save some cash.
UPDATE: 02/14/2018 eglobalcentral.com notified me that it is currently being packaged to ship.
UPDATE: 02/15/2018 Received a txt update from DHL this morning that the Crane 2 has shipped and should be delivered tomorrow 02/16/2018! So far so good!
UPDATE: 02/16/2018 DHL sent me a notification that the Crane 2 has been delivered. I will take photos once I get home.
FINAL UPDATE: 02/16/18 The Crane 2 was delivered and works perfectly. Brand New Free Shipping from HONG KONG to California in 3 days!!!! If the sale is still going, jump on it. It was a shot in the dark, but was completely worth it.

Ok, so I looked it up on the site itself: it is a seller's warranty and not a manufacturers warranty (emphasis added by me)
Please note that all our products are imported goods and will not come with manufacturer's warranty but instead we will cover the warranty through our own company.
Link to the warranty page: https://www.eglobalcentral.com/warranty-policy.html
So it seems like these are Grey market products. In some cases a manufacturer would still grant your warranty claim under their own warranty, but that would be either generosity from their side or sometimes just a mistake if the person handling your claim didn't check the warranty status properly.
For me it won't rule out purchasing from this site, but I will certainly be more careful when deciding which products I will or will not buy from this site.
As they say: caveat emptor

We've burned through 3 of these units at work. . . Poorly Made, Cheap Feeling, Cheap Motors. It's a neat trick, but for serious shooting it's definitely not worth it.

Howdy,
I can say this. Massdrop has sold a few thousand Zhiyun products at this point. (and we just started selling them in 2017) This is the first I have heard of motors burning out. In fact if you look over the drop discussions of the other Zhiyun products on Massdrop the reviews are all very positive. This is pretty much the best product out there without spending ALOT more money.
Cheers.

I have the version 1 Crane and haven't had any trouble with it. Works very nicely, planning to upgrade to the version 2 so I can fly a larger payload.

JunkMailTwelveYes I am. This arrived at least a week earlier than originally advertised. Unfortunately I haven't had time to open it up and play with it yet.

grouchomcI've seen videos online of this thing holding a 1DX II and 5D IV, so I don't think the 70D will be any problem.

it-manIt will work, but doesn’t give any special functions really... focus tracking doesn’t work. You can do all your iso shutter and appature with the little canon cable ”hack” and that helps a bit. But if your in no rush to pick up a gimbal, wait for the ronin s... maybe it might be better?
