Hey I just want to say thanks for all your content. I recently purchased the ZV-E10 after much thought and a lot of time viewing your videos about it and now am quite sure I'll also be picking up the RS3 Mini for it in the coming months. So thank you for all your input!
Thanks Mark, was on the fence but this video gave me the push I needed to order one! Loved the way you demonstrated how to use the app to control the gimbal!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Straight to the point with no fluff. Thanks for sharing.
I got the RS3 Mini a week ago and I'm incredibly impressed as well. It's classic DJI. This company just doesn't disappoint, period!
They really push the industry a lot
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Always have. Best user experience, best software updates, best products overall. Am really excited to see what else they push out. DJI Mic is also amazing. Mavic of course. SO much stuff. 🤣
the review that i have been waiting for!
I enjoy reviews like this. My need to get that camera gimbal gets validated.😅 Hope to get my hands on the RS3 Mini real soon.
Thanks for showing off the RS3 Mini’s capabilities. It’s one very impressive camera gimbal. And I’m not mad it’s more on the affordable side.
Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.
Thanks!!
Great review, bro!
DJI RS3 Mini comparison with Crane M2S and M3. We need this video from you!!! Still on the fence on which one I should get. I want the Crane, but I like the bluetooth features of the DJI. Should I wait for Crane to updated the M3?
Hi Mark, is it possible to use the timelapse function only for movement, but not shoot or record? In the case that I would want to built in intervalometer to do the shooting for smooth AE?
Hi Mark! Love you videos!
I’m looking to get a lense for my fx30, I use it for videography and I want it to have a range. I was looking at the sigma 18-50mm F2.8 and the sony E PZ 18-105mm F4. Which one would you recommend? If neither, what’s another you would recommend in the same budget?
Cheers, I know the dji works with the zve10 screen flipped out, 180 degree rotate etc. Can the m3 do the same? I've had no joy with the scorp mini and need something that can handle the weight distribution.
you have very cool and useful reviews! And most importantly, you have a lot of them!
Thank you very much!
Ohhh!!! I (personally) need a comparison with the Scorp Mini 😁🤩😁
Hi mark how does this stack up against the crane m3 or m2s and the Feiyu SCORP MINI or SCORP C
Thanks for the video! So the gimbal doesn't have object tracking? Do you think it's a good fit for sony zv-e10?
Please don't stop what you are doing... After planning to join UA-cam i stumble upon your channel while searching for the best gears and after watching your tons of videos I FINALLY BROUGHT MY CANON EOS R50 AND DJI RS3 MINI i am gonna start doing vlogumentary... Wish me luck ✨✨✨
Lots of love from INDIA
I want to do some simple product b roll videos, i think desk mounted simple video, doubt I'll be doing any on the nove walking/talkin footage. Should i invest in a gumbal & which one? Or would I better investing in a motorized slider?
DJI RS3 Mini or should I try Crane M3? I have the ZV-E10 with kit lens( I will be getting a sigma soon) . The M3 is a bit smaller, much cheaper, and has a light? ( I heard the m3 could also hold a phone?)
Is the DJI RS3 mini worth the extra money?
Thanks
Hey, does the gimbal support the tamron 28-75 lens at 75mm fully zoomed in?
How u able to balance a bigger lens :(. I'm having a problem balancing it out
Great vid
which one you suggest DJI RS3 or Crane M3S?
Yesssss! Thank you sir!
Is there a way to activate the active track?
I don't know much about this stuff, but I've got the Sony ZV-E10 & a Sigma 1.4 16mm lens on it. Been looking for a gimbal I can use for product shots as well as some fun cinematography stuff on the side. Any recommendation for that?
either this one or the Zhiyun crane m3.
hey man, got this thing for my zve10+sigma 18-50 duo as a vertical setup, but shit , still gotta use catalyst (its like i cant escape using catalyst now) 😩
Do a comparison of that and the Crane 3 that would be a great video
yes - I think I will
Awesome please make gimbals comparison video ❤
The crane 3 loses in most aspects but it would still be a cool video
Could you add a zoom motion during the timelapse journey?
Does the M button also allow you to take photos like RS3?
I have a friend offering to trade in his RS3 Mini for my Weebill S and tripod.
Right now im using an a6400 with a sigma 30mm , but thinking of adding a sigma 18-35
i also sometimes fly my friend's a7iii ( not the rs3 mini user ).
Asking from my other friend who've used it said that the pov mode isnt as responsive and the arms is really limiting ( i'd be doing 20% vertical content ).
Is it worth it to trade it in ?
I'm not a gimbal guy, but still watched the whole video, just because of you :D
Hope my Sony 11mm purchase helped to steal this gimbal for you :D :P
I love your videos so much! Please never change who you are! 😊 Thanks, fellow mortal
I’ve been trying to change for decades. no luck. 😀
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis oh I also got my own little dougie for Christmas and Iove him so much and your channel has been my favorite ZV-E10 resource!
Love your content! Do you think the Crane M3 is suitable/can handle a Nikon Z30 setup with the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 lens for on the go VLOGing purposes and outdoor B-Roll shots? Or should I go with the DJI RS3 Mini? Thanks!
I have that exact setup with the Viltrox 13
Z30 and crane m3 and it works well, but it is at the end of the limits. The rs3 mini will give you more options if you want to be able to put on a wireless lav system or hold heavier lenses in the future.
Hi Mark, have been always a DJI fan cos of their quality products. This gimbal came out right after I bought Zhiyun M2S for my ZV-E10 ( cos I thought RS3 is an overkill for my beginner setup). Now I’m contemplating whether I should just sell away my Zhiyun and get the DJI RS 3 mini instead since I’m more familiar with DJI .. what do u think?
It’s really up to you. But I prefer the crane m2s if it can handle my camera and lens. It’s so much lighter and smaller. The DJI is basically twice as big but it can do way more.
After watching this I am definitely going to get one...for My Sony ZV-E10 with sigma lens 16mm f1.4,been watching your UA-cam channel for some time... Mark 👍
Rob from the UK 🇬🇧
You have an update on this? I have the same camera and lens and looking for a gimbal.
I want one, another piece of kit on my rapidly expanding wish list.
I switched from Weebil S out to DJI RS3 (standard), and it's just fine! The automatic lock and unlock function makes this stabilizer the most convenient for me! It's very cool that technology is developing so well, I hope the first stabilizers with a fully automatic camera balance function will be released soon. The only thing that is a little annoying in the DJI RS3 is that the lowest motor does not immediately react to left-right turns, even at the fastest speed in the settings. Is this how it should be?
The panning usually isn't "immediate" but in sport mode it should react quickly
Turn your deadband off
I guess you need to check your deadband setting. Change it to 0 and it will react to every left and right movement.
Thank you very much for sharing the video just a question for you there's no problems with overheating at all with the battery or anything with recordings. Kind regards Robert. :)
no - this gimbal will never overheat
Hi Mark. Do you think it will fit on my Panasonic S5 which I use for my UA-cam channel instead of the dji Ronin Sc?
yes for sure as long as you don’t use a really long lens
im trying to decide between the zv e10 and the zv 1 for a more proffesional camera than the action cameras that i currently use. i love the idea of the e10 but im really worried about the rolling shutter as am in a powerchair and have a tremor and twitch and dont want to have to use a tripod and want to film dogs. the crop in is a wory for the zv1. what do you think? budget is an issue for me
The ZV1-F is actually a great camera with a wide lens. You can use catalyst browse to stabilize your ZV-E10, ZV1 or ZV1-F footage. It's free and it's not that difficult (but it takes a while).
Looks great! Will you be reviewing Ulanzi's F38 QR for this when it's released? I'm not sure if it's required to use Ulanzi's cross arm.
yes - I’ve asked them for it
Should i buy RS3 mini or Moza aircross s for a6400 with sigma 16mm f1.4 marc ? For the best stabilization ..
I would get the DJI
So the big question for you Mark, should I get this or continue to use catalyst browse. I bought the crane m3, crane m2s, and ronin rs this week and tried them all out. They all felt cumbersome and that there would be a period of time till I felt comfortable using a gimble. I was about to order the rs3 mini but decided to stick with catalyst browse. Thoughts?
Stay with catalyst - the rs3 mini will feel the same to you. gimbals are a whole thing and if you need them - you need them. but if you can avoid them - even better.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks Mark! This is what I needed to hear.
All gimbals needs to be balanced and regardless how small they are they are still another piece of chunk to be carried around.
Great review Mark. I already have a7IV and DJI RS3 but currently I'm searching for a bit smaller travel combo and I think that ZV-E10 and Crane M2S is probably the best in that range. Now I am looking at some rumors about Crane M3S and maybe I should wait a little bit longer ;). Anyway thanks for sharing this with us. Subscribed :)
Great video like always! Have you got a tutorial for catalyst browse. I started it up and felt like I needed a degree and anything I did really didn't make much difference. Thanks mate. Keep up the great work
Jup its there, just use the search function on UA-cam
Yes indeed - catalyst tutorial ua-cam.com/video/cXp3x6Xjbuk/v-deo.html
@Mark Bennett's Camera Crisis thanks mate! Rock on the zve10 haha
This or dji rsc2 ? Its smaller but rsc more easy to sw vertical/horizontal
I consider Ronin RSC2 with raven eye and RS3 Mini. What do you think. Is it possible to balance Sony a7sIII with Tamron 35-150 on RS3 Mini?
I’d probably get the RSC2 with raven eyefor mor options.. you probably could balance the Tamron with the a7siii on the mini
Hi Mark, will it balance Canon M50 with Sigma 16mm f1/4 and a variable ND filter? Crane M3 has problems with that and also it's hard to balance it so it doesn't hit the eyepiece. Thanks in advance.
yes - it will balance that - there a lot more clearance with the DJI Mini
I know that for a Sony a6700 with a lense of 700g, this gimbal support it. However, if you add a lavalier receiver, or mic, or monitor, do you think it would work?
yes, that will still work
That seems like a solid piece of kit. We shall see how many videos of it I have to watch before I end up buying one...
haha - sounds like my life
Hi Mark, I have planty Ulanzi F-38 quick-release plates, I saw you also use it. Is there a way to somehow use it with DJI RS3 Mini or I will have to switch each time when use gimbal? Thanks!
Ulanzi has actually added an F38 quick release plate to their website for the RS3 Mini: www.ulanzi.com/products/falcam-f38-quick-release-system-for-dji-rs-3-mini-gimbal-stabilizer-kit?aff=574
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Good to know, thanks!
HI thank you for your video. Is it possible with the M3 (M3S) to swap position from front to selfie with the touch of a button like with the DJI RS3?
yes - you press the trigger 3 times and it does into selfie mode
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you so much for answering.
how is it balanced?
How about Sony A1 or A7 R5 with 50 1.2 GM? Thanks Mark.
I would look at the DJI RS3 Mini or the Zhiyun Weebil 3 for that
Nice video! What are your thoughts on the value of RavenEye? I just bought a RavenEye with the intention of getting the RS3 for my A6600. I initially planned to use it as a remote monitor and to be able to start/stop recording while being in front of the camera. I have been very disappointed. The functionality is flakey and seems to be sensitive to the power-up sequence of the unit and the camera. I don't plan on getting the RS3 for some time, so I'll likely return the RavenEye unless someone can convince me Active Track with a gimbal is super useful for filming yourself.
I don’t think you need it for most stuff. I would return it and think about it later if maybe you do pick up an rs3.
Thanks. I think you are right. I knew it was kind of backwards to get it before the gimbal, but it was finally available on Amazon as a stand-alone device so I jumped on it. Previously, you could only get it as part of a kit on their top of the line gimbals like the RS3 Pro Combo.
Hi sir, can the RS3 mini handle a ZVE10 with a Sigma 16 f1.4. thank you
yes, for sure
I just got the RS3 for the ZV E10 and it's badass! I didn't want to risk it with the mini.
The RS3 is amazing.
I got the mini with the zv e10. Only thing I wanted that the mini doesn't have is tracking.
@@HaloHamstur what lens do you use? Is it perfect for it?
Do you find the quick release plate fouls on the front of the lens mount so it doesn't sit perfectly flat on your ZV-E10?
@@ThePhobicFlyer looks perfectly flat on my end.
For 369 its quite good, like u had quite a long lens on the sony there and the motor stiffness was also low so it can carry some good weight and balance as well!!! Incase you have too many gimbals, i would be happy to use one of them😂😂
Considering getting this for night video on the ZV-E10
Hello I'm a beginner.
Which one i will choose for my Sony ZV-E10 "Crane M3 or RS3 Mini?"
Please Give me an answer.
what lenses are you using?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis SIGMA 30mm f1.4. 🥺
Ignore this ! Good information in here, thanks for doing it. I think I'm going to get one of these; I have the older Ronin-S and it's a heavy stable beast but I need something smaller and my plan is to put a canon R8 on it.
Hi Mark, love your video and subscribed to your channel recently. I have a ZV-E10 and 18-105mm F4 zoom lens. Will the Zhiyun M3 work with this setup? I want to get the M3 because it is smaller than the RS3 Mini and it can switch between landscape and portrait modes more easily. However I am not sure about the compatibility. The Zhiyun website doesn't have this lens for ZV-E10 on the compatibility list but the RS3 Mini does....decision decisions. I am also a Canadian currently based in Hong Kong and can't get a refund on purchases in HK unfortunately :( Thanks in advance!
I love the M3 - but you should get the RS3 Mini - the 18-105 and zv-e10 won't work with the Crane M3. The RS3 Mini will allow you to start and stop the camera as well and power zoom. It's also not much bigger than the M3.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks so much Mark! You’re awesome!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis By the way I just went to one of the shopping malls here in Hong Kong with my zv-e10 and 18-105 lens. Fortunately I found a shop with a demo unit of the Zjhiyun M3 and the salesperson volunteered to help me test balancing my set up. As you correctly pointed out the len’s simply to heavy for the camera. He couldn’t balance it on the tilt axis even after moving the camera all the way to the back. I guess there’s a way to add counterbalance to make it work but the whole setup may be too heavy for the gimbal. Too bad they have sold out all the RS3 mini’s or I’d be more than happy to get one right there at the store. I ended up getting it from another store in the mall. Thanks again Mark.
Thanks Mark. I'm a little jealous that it can natively start and stop the recording with the ZV-E10 unlike my Crane M3. Smallrig has a $25 remote that you can attach with those velcro zip ties but I'm wondering if there's another workaround you've found to control the ZV-E10 with the Crane M3?
Zhiyun sells a separate $25 transmount Bluetooth control module for the Crane M3 which I believe could give you this capability
@@Cullyace18 thanks. I believe you have to have the expansion module as well though, which is $89.
@@timbrowntown ah ok. Ya unfortunate that they didn’t include this feature in the base M3 model
I think if you buy the £85 base attachment for the bottom and bluetooth adapter it will work but it's naff you have to buy it to be honest...I sent my Crane M3 back to Amazon and bought the RS3 Mini and so far it works great with the ZV-E10 (apart from the quick release mount which I am now obsessing over 😀)
@@ThePhobicFlyer my concern is their app on Android. I sent back an earlier dji gimbal because the app didn't work well with android and you had to side load it. But I was trying to use it FOR my phone at the time. It looks a bit more useful than my Crane M3 but I'm stuck with that one for a while.
Can you compare the new Weebil 3s and the Rs3 Mini please? You are the reason that i buy the zve10!!😊
I will try to do that one yes, but I prefer the Weebill 3S out of the two
Also note that a half press on the record button will pulse AF-S if you want it to.
good note!!
Please Reply im confused sony zv e10 with tamron 17 70 and rs3 mini can handle or not at fully zoom in at 70mm?
I don’t have that combo - but it should be fine
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis total weight of my zv e10 body and smallrig and lens is 950g it can handle at 70mm?
Hi mark! I want to see this Ronin against weebill S. Please 🙏
I don't have the weebil s - but i have the weebil 3
Great video mate. Would love to see this up against the RSC2
don’t have that one, unfortunately
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis That's no excuse! Go out and buy one with the millions you don't make on UA-cam.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis if you were closer to Aus I’d just send you mine and then you could just send it back when you’re done
I laughed my a** off in the intro! 😂
😂
I wonder if this new gimbal has the same problems as rsc2 when I want to connect zve10?
it connects fine to Bluetooth as long as you hav Bluetooth enabled and select pairing
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis the problem is when i try to connect zv e10 to raven eye and phone. Usually the phone screen is black. Once out of 10 tries, I manage to connect everything and it works fine. It seems to me that it's about the order of connections, but it would be great if, as a professor, maybe you could get Raven eye and connect one of the Sony cameras? What you think?
Hi Mark, I read a couple of reviews that recommend the Mini should be used in conjunction with a stabilizer? True in your opinion; doesn't make sense to me😮. Thanks again!
I think some people like to turn on the camera's IBIS and use that with Gimbals sometimes - but I wouldn't do it. The Mini is fine on it's own
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks 😊!
Will it be able to hold and balance my r6 m2 with 24 -105mm lense
Possibly - that lens will front heavy so it’s tough to know for sure. If the total is under 4.4lbs - it will likely work
Hi, I have Zhiyun Crane M3 and Nikon Zfc camera with 16-50mm lens. Now thinking to buy Dji Rs3 Mini. What do you think? Crane m3 and Rs3 looks smiliar but rs3 mini looks like better then Crane m3... I'm so indecisive.
if you can balance your - I wouldn’t change. the res3 mini is great, but the m3 is smaller, lighter and does a slightly better job with stabilization in my opinion,
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I see but I can't control via m3 gimbal like do not change iso, aperture, record button etc. Also Stabilization of m3 is not good for zfc camera... So if gimbal is heavier then camera will be better? Rs3 not good on zfc for stabilization?
find the m3 is a big better with the bobbing up and down by a little. but if the gimbal isn’t working for you - the dji might be epithet way to go, more features and can support more weight.
Which one should I get between RS3 and M3? Looking for my ZVE10.
what lenses do you want to use
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I currently have the kit lens but looking to go for the Viltrox 13mm in the future.
Should i go and buy this or wait for rs4 mini? Anyone got any idea when thats gona be released?
this is a pretty new release - I don't think the 4 will be out anytime soon
What do I type on the search bar for that extra handle accessory?
Type RS3 handle nato amzn.to/3X1R11D
I'll already have the RSC2. I'd buy this one but I don't need it. Great video as always.
RSC2 still rocks
Do you think it could handle a7iv with 24-70 GMII
yes it can
try with Tamrom 35-150mm F2.0-2.8, see if it support the weight
I do t have that one here unfortunately - but it would probably hold
Will this be able to take the weight with a monitor mounted?
its hard to balance a camera with a monitor on it because the monitor will hit the motors when balancing. But if the camera and les aren't too long - you can balance that first, put on the monitor and it should hold as long as it doesn't exceed the 4.4 lbs
Hi Mark do you know this gimbal?
:
Moza Aircross S? It handles mirrorless cameras and phone .I just find out it from Young 360 się is from HKG .I wanted to go for Smooth 5 or 5S bu now when i saw Mooza 🤔🙄.
Maybe you shouls make movie in here about this gimbal .
Cheers
Moza makes pretty good gimbals - but I haven’t tested that one out
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis will you recommend 2 in 1 gimbal for phone and little tiny ? 😋
Zhiwho?
I just like that unlike the Crane, I don't have take the base plate off to service the camera battery.
Yes, the plate covering the whole bottom is a pain
A more mature software then Feuyitech Scorp-c
Its very good for studio shoots to with this gimbal
I bought the Weebill S a few weeks ago... Thanks Mark, you are determined to force me to spend all of my money... That RS3 Mini does look nice though... Resist....
Weebil S is awesome. Stick with it because it can DEFINITELY do the job.
I watched a million videos and I still don’t know if I should pick up the RSC2 or RS3 Mini
which do you prefer rs3 mini or scorp mini/scorp c ?
Probably the rs3 mini because it’s easier to balance and can hold much more weight
DJI RS3 Mini vs Crane M3 please. Thanks!
Would you recommend this gimbal or Zhiyun crane m3s
I like the M3S a bit more, but the RS3 Mini fits more camera. and lens combos - so it depends a little on what you want to put on the gimbal
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks
hey mark
rs3 mini or weebill 3 who is the best?
the rs3 is a bit more compact, but the Weebil 3 does a better job of getting stable footage. less up and down movement
I love the rs3 mini. Coming from a Crane Plus how could I not?
gimbals are getting better every week!!
the first time i heard about zhiyun crane m2, m2s, and even m3, i was wondering why doesn't dji has something compact like this??? looks like they were working on this beast all along...
definitely similar to the M3, but a bit bigger and holds more stuff.
But why only mirrorless? What's different about them? Can it not work with other kinds of cameras below 2kg?
oh for sure - any camera and lens under 4.4 lbs. but you won’t get any Bluetooth functionality or connectivity
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Wow didn't expect you to respond so fast! That's a thumbs up!! Strange that they don't allow bluetooth functionality or connectivity on non-mirrorless cameras. I thought that they are all the same, no?
Oh, yes - sorry - if you have one of the newer DSLR's with bluetooth that is supported - you should be fine. But for some reason they say "certain supported DSLR's"
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I see... ok thank you.
😊please review feiyutech scorp mini
you’re in luck - I did that one ua-cam.com/video/oPLlcEeJDwM/v-deo.html
compare to Crane M3?
on the way
Vs the Crane m2s or the Crane M3
it doesn’t really compare to the m2s, but I will do a video against the m3
Tictoc rollin and booty popin 😂😂😂
I think the crane m2s scores better in footage performence cause it does not have up and down movements and even with stiff boots 😂
If you were to invest in the Raven Eye for this gimbal you would be disappointed with with it and the ZV-E10. It does not work with it. I have the RSC2 with Raven Eye and it will only work properly with my Canon 90D. I was very disappointed as that was what I wanted to use it for. If you did get it and managed to work it out for use with the ZV-E10 you would make a lot of viewers very very happy.
good to know. Hopefully I will check it out soon
