Zhiyun Crane-3S Pro 3-Axis Gimbal with SmartSling Handle and Easy Sling Handle for DSLRs and Cine Cameras up to 14.3 lb. CRANE 3S Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro. 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.

This is a beast, a tame one, but still has its claws. Its power to balance large dCinema camera rigs is superb: it can handle heavy and bulky units with no issue of overheating or power lag. My only gripe is in how my Blackmagic 6K cannot sit centered in the gimbal. This is only because the side bar does not allow for wide cameras (as the BMPCC is). This means I can?t take advantage of the ?Vortex Mode? where the camera rotates on its Z axis dead-center. I might have a work-around by mounting the camera upside-down. I?ll post a followup if this works. But otherwise, it?s an excellent kit with great options, powerful batteries, and capabilities. Beautiful product.

Outstanding Heavy-duty Gimbal for most large dCinema camera bodies

This gimbal is impressing me the more chances that I get to use it!

Super happy

As of right now it works for half of my needs. After seeing youtube personality after personality and site review after site review say this was a beast but not without it's drawbacks, I was pretty much sold and thought I could overcome those drawbacks.

I can in most cases overcome the drawbacks, however, with their latest firmware update it takes care of most of the notorious shake, but not all. I have yet to test this with the UMP 4.6K, but even if I can't use it, and this is one of the reasons why I most likely won't return, having a gimbal that allows for low sling to high and then a  tilt for continuous camera x axis rotation that is smooth, it is worth it for me because of the limitation on the market and the price point.

Now, this thing gets heavy fast, so if you think you're going to be able to buy this, set it up and run all day you're probably wrong unless you're the Hulk. On the otherhand, and what I will be using this for, short, 10-15 intervals is fine. Must. Rest. Arm.
