The multi-functional expansion base of the CRANE-M3 includes a built-in receiver that pairs with a transmitter module for wireless camera control via Bluetooth. It supports wired function control within the camera's shutter protocol and offers a 1/4" threaded hole for additional accessory attachments.

A standout feature is the 1.22" touch screen, which provides a user-friendly interface for Chinese/English menu switching, intuitive operation, and clear device status displays. The gimbal supports PD Fast Charge protocol, allowing for a rapid 2-hour full charge with a runtime of up to 8 hours. Moreover, it can be charged using a power bank while in operation, ensuring uninterrupted shooting sessions.

To complete the professional kit, a quality backpack is included, featuring a stylish, spill-resistant surface and various compartments for organizing your camera, lenses, and other accessories.
