I shot some footage using one yesterday, and just found this video today. I'll share once edited. One of my initial tests was mounting it in my passenger seat and driving on a bumpy road. The resulting footage keeps the landscape pretty stable, and the dashboard looks like it's shaking! It worked well. I have found it can jerk if I move too suddenly, not that's not usually a problem.
So far, I'm loving my Webill S. I just wish they would release a max payload for it. My Canon 6D M2 and EF 24-70mm f/2.8L (yes series 1) was a bit much for it, but it can do my Canon R5 with the EF to RF adapter and that same EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens just fine (one heavy setup though, I don't dare put my zoom/focus motor on there with that).
I purchased this set back in 09/2020 and just now in 01/2024 I am getting it out! OMG I can not believe how busy I have been and how much procrastination I added to it🤣. I am planing on mounting a JVC 300 with it.
Does anyone have experience with the Image Transmitter 2.0? I just got it for my Crane 3s and the smart follow/object tracking feature doesn't seem to be there.. very disappointing. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Jake, just saw a demo of the 3S and watched your vid. My question is what is included with the Pro version. I'm using a C300 Mark ll with a Ninja V. Can it handle the load? Thank you much. Almost forgot also have a Zacuto external batter pack with D taps.

Thanks Jake! That's the best review I've seen on this gimbal. I've purchased the Crane 3S package with the smart handle and am working my way through mastering it. My Canon XA30 with Rode Videomic Pro atop seems to work well enough. My next steps are to switch my XA30 front ring to control focus and get one is their motors so I can pull focus from the gimbal. Looking forward, do you have information on which Crane 3S compatible cameras are a good step forward from me XA30 please? I'm disposed towards the Black Magic cameras as I'm a Davinci Resolve user, but integration with the Crane is a bigger issue than editing software. I'm a bit budget constrained, but if I step forward I want it to be a decent gain. Thx.
It's possible, as long as you balance it correctly and it's under the weight limit. The only set back would be that you don't have camera control on the Crane S3 handle.
Hello, My names is Bernard and i was viewing your Zhiyun Crane S3 and i am interested in purchasing but before i do i'd like to know if my camcorder will fit and work on the crane. I have the Sony HVR-Z7U camcorder and was wondering if this camera will fit and can be used with the Zhiyun Crane S3. If so i will be making purchase. I look forward to hearing from you as your help and assistance is appreciated
Have you ever used a Zhiyun gimbal? What are your thoughts?
I use zhiyun webill ..great gimbal but is small

Your sense of humor is outstanding!!!LOL
Great review.

I had to take my last DJI stabilizer back and B&H recommended this one cause of my camera weight. I'm looking forward to trying this one.
@CYVstudio have not got it yet but should be in April. Will definitely circle back when I do.
@CYVstudio I just ordered it and will be using it next Saturday. Will have more feedback
cleared A LOT of questions up :) thank you, sir! Great video
Great video, but why do the gimbal shots look like they're shot on an iphone?
can the power plus battery power the blackmagic 6k and what would be the input to be connected?
No it cannot power the camera. >Mark
I need a vest or something to hold this! For 8 hour shoots!, Surprised DJI doesn't make that
It seems they've thought of everything, certainly some of my concerns. This speaks volumes and I hear them. I WAS looking at the R2.
Dog at 10:15 : Is he allowed to do that?!
Excelent review, ya tengo el mío desde México
I have a BMPCC 4k and I Also have Panason 4k Camcorder and Canon XA11. Can this work for all 3?
14.3 lb Payload, PowerPlus Battery Pack. This gimbal should be able to easily balance all three of these cameras. >Mark
I use canon xf405 with crane 3s pro, plz kindly help me in doing the connection to my smart phone thru the transmitter, thanks
Zhiyun-Tech shows no compatibility for the Canon XF 405 camcorder. >Mark
Great stabilization!
Does anyone have experience with the Image Transmitter 2.0? I just got it for my Crane 3s and the smart follow/object tracking feature doesn't seem to be there.. very disappointing. Any help would be appreciated.
Nevermind, just figured it out. The specified Camera on the gimbal needs to be in "CCS" - after that tracking works great!
I'd like to try it with panasonic eva1 and zeiss milvus lenses. i think it's ideal for my setup but i need to try. thank you for the review
Does it allow c500 mark 2 exposure control options as well with reciever and handle?
I wonder if I can use this with the Panasonic hc-x2000?

Do you have a link to where you can buy the transmount reciever?

@@BandH do you guys sell the receiver as well?
Hey B&H - Will this work with a Cannon C100 with a 24-100mm Kit Lense?
If it fits the C200 it should fir the C100, right?
Yes it will work with these fine Canon C-series cinema cameras. >Mark
Perfect for the C200 😁
I have this Zhiyun and it hasn't worked once, even with many hours trying to balance it. It really sucks.
You may send the faulty video to Zhiyun service team to get further help.

The Crane 3S Pro is compatible with the Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro. >Mark
Has anyone flown a Panasonic hcx2? Trying to float a camcorder on a gimbal
It's possible, as long as you balance it correctly and it's under the weight limit. The only set back would be that you don't have camera control on the Crane S3 handle.
This isn't a review its an ad
Duh, this is a camera store lmao
@@lifeofapotato4595 yeah they should say showcasebinstead of review
Impressive :)
Take my money
Nice. Seems like it would handle a c70 with ease.

What is this? Some Tik Tok cringe shit again?

The Zhiyun-Tech Crane 3S PRO has a 14.3 lb. payload. It will accomodate your Sony HVR-Z7U HDV Camcorder. >Mark
Awesome, thank you for the response. Would the software/buttons be compatible for my camera as well?
İ have nikon d850 is is it a good idea to buy this gimbal for video production?
The Zhiyun CRANE 3S Pro would certainly hold a Nikon D850 with a mounted lens if it does not exceed the 14.3 lb payload.
