Rated 4 out of 5

A great mid level Gimbal

good buy. not as advertised for the larger pay loads it claims to be able to handle. But perfect for smaller cameras with a DSLR form factor.

Great for big camera setups

Not bad. if you wanna save money because you have a bigger camera setup, this may be the only option.

BAD BAD BAD

I had such high hopes for this but it's honestly so bad. I'm probably going back to Ronin. Returning it right away and I only had to for couple hours

do NOT buy this…until they find solution to shaking problem

If you follow the posts on this, you will see an overwhelmingly bad response to the shaking of the unit. It’s completely unusable. Don’t believe anything I’m saying, research it yourself.

Worth a buy

Definitely worth a buy if you own a full-loaded heavy cam. Nothing to blame to work with my 1dx2.

Definitely worth a buy if you own a full-loaded heavy cam. Nothing to blame to work with my 1dx2.

Zhiyun Crane-3S 3-Axis Gimbal with SmartSling Handle for DSLRs and Cine Cameras up to 14.3 lb. CRANE 3S features a modular design in the motor axis and handles. For larger cinema camera combos, users can attach the included extension module onto the roll axis. Demanding shooting tasks may require the use of a variety of cameras and accessories in complicated shooting environments.

CRANE 3S is reengineered with new SUPER motors which allow it to handle a 6.5kg payload for more ambitious camera setups-including Canon EOS 1DX, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras, and even Canon Cinema EOS, Sony FS and FX series, and Red Digital Cinema Cameras. With three 18650-format batteries, CRANE 3S can run for up to 12 hours. A DC-in power port on the battery compartment allows input of up to 25.2-voltsfor direct charging.

Zhiyun TransMount Image Transmission Module is compatible with CRANE 3S. With the transmitter, the video can be streamed to up to three monitoring devices including smartphones. The ViaTouch 2.0 system in the ZY Play app bridges the communication gap between stabilizer, camera and monitoring devices, allowing you to adjust camera and gimbal parameters remotely and intuitively. The ViaTouch 2.0 system also enables a visualized remote motion control for the gimbal.
