Potato Jet: lets do a review!
Me without a camera: interesting
When quarantine is officially over, everybody and their mom is gonna be outside with a new camera and new gimbal 😂
This is the first decently sized electronic gimbal that I’ve actually been excited about because I know I can fit my RED on it without having to worry. Awesome review!
Nick! Nice to see a FTF here! 👋
@@Michael-jw9nf I was just thinking the same thing! Nick you should do a collab with Potato Jet, that would be awesome
@@Michael-jw9nf Haha thanks Michael! You as well!
@@zachhixon1819 I would love that :) maybe after quarantine I'll reach out and see if he would want to do anything. I met him at VidSummit last year, he's an awesome guy!
Gene: this sucker can balance anything!
Me: ok but what about my bank account
😂😂
What bank account wish there was a lil mic drop emoji
Who needs the gym or VR boxing, if you've got a RED camera and Zhiyun Crane 3!!
Everyone else: I should be careful with my camera equipment
Potato Jet: Lets blast it with a leaf blower
My M50 looking at me begging for better lenses
Me: Heh, gimbal
Get that Sigma bro.
Same same
Where to find the giveaway winner
@@shubhgehlot6195 what giveaway? Just go make a channel and get them sending you free stuff hahaha.
Very cool update on the 3s - I'm glad they are providing more things (like the extender) as a standard - I've struggled with smaller rigs on their other gimbals trying to get clearance. And thanks for offering up the Weebil - that's very generous. I appreciate all you do for the community!
You could stabilize a small child.

@@GoldenPickaxe this is the shaken baby prevention we didn't know we needed.
@@herodirt7116 this is a great addition to baby carrier ;)
Zhiyun always do better 👌, but this is a beast ❤️❤️❤️🙌
The CEO probably went “let’s make a tank into a hand held gimbal.”
I'm only a very casual when-I-travel-I-MIGHT-take-some-video type of person, and yet I subscribe here and watch all these definitely-not-for-amateurs stuff. All because you make it quite entertaining, mate.
Keep it up.
Can somebody please recommend a cheaper solution then the crane for a Panasonic hvx200 style camera
I hope this is enough of a kick for DJI to start developing a new gimbal
Yeah I wonder what their next gen mid range gimbal will be like. The ronin s is starting to show its age
Dji RONIN RS2
And there we are
This comment aged like fine wine

I click so quick on all potato jet's videos as soon as i see the notif!
Any other reviewer: Uses fan to test wind resistance
Potato Jet: LEAF-BLOWER TO TEST HURRICANE RESISTANCE
If its good enough for Hollywood, its good enough for PJ.
That Gimbal is a beast. Nice to see that there's competition to the DJI stuff at an competitive pricepoint!
Nice Vid as always!
gene is the only one can make 11 min video and say i'll come back with the full review
that's probably gonna be 3+ hours
it never happend 😢
I bought a Ronin m from a pawn shop, but the lab stuff has been in my mind for a while now, this just takes it to the next level
“When the wind starts blowing with the microphone on the camera, it kind of throws off the gimbal” *SIMULATES CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE*
So if you're news vlogging, it will definitely help!
Everyone: let’s focus on surviving.
Potato: let’s go try this new gimbal
Lol! 😂
Gene: I’ll be back with a more in depth review. Me: wait... this wasn’t the in depth review???
Compatibility with an EOS C300 Mark II was a real problem for me. This video really helped reduce concerns about the level of compatibility with the Crane 3s. Thanks for sharing. Super helpful.
potato jet: *blasts his camera with a leaf blower*
me: *looking at my camera*
my camera: don't even think abt it
Hahaha! I wanted to enter but after this comment, I got no chance!
Gene carrying that gimbal like Rambo holding a machine gun 💪
Masters of Movies this comment got me lmao 😂😂
Hi Mr. Potato! I would love to have your older gimbal....i do CGI and VFX and all the shoots need to be smoth, because its ways easyer to track and compose, and bouncy movements always ruin the shots....unfortunatly i dont have the money currently to buy a gimbal and not having one makes my workflow much harder... i would LOVE to have your gimbal! All the Best!
I know he probably won’t see this but potato please please do a giveaway of any old camera gear you don’t need!
This guy expects mr potato to just give away expensive gear just like that
That is really impressive. From this gimbal, to the ARRI Trinity, I love seeing how these different companies are engineering new line-ups of gimbals.
Me: I don't need a gimbal, I can't even leave the house at the moment.
Potato Jet: uses leaf blower on gimbal
Me: Oh sick it can work in a hurricane. Where's my wallet?
:D This was so good!
Zhiyun: *makes a perfect gimbal*
Gene: "let's add a clamp onto it"
potato jet: Balances fully kitted Red camera
me: *faints
Great work from Zhiyun. They Nailed and solve every error on their past gimbal with the Crane 3s.
Bravo Zhiyun Bravo
Here’s an Idea: Mount a telephoto prime on that 3S! 200, 300 vs 400mm!! And since I don’t have those prime lenses, the weebill s would be coolios!
As a student, I will never be able to afford such a gimbal, I'll try my luck tu win this! 😊 Thank you for your great videos as always and the insane work behind it!
19 yo filmmaker here, currently directing and DP'ing a feature film passion project out of pocket. I can't afford a gimbal but it would be invaluable once I am able to resume filming after quarantine.
Don't underestimate the power of mechanical gimbals! I still use mine about 50% of my shoots.
Where will you be releasing your movie?
use a skateboard
I don’t own a gimbal but my heart fluttered with that RED on there... So good 😍
My rebel sl1 and m50: father, we require lenses
Me: what's that my children, I need smoother footage?🤔
😂😂😂😂😂
This is released
Me: I am never going to able to financially recover from this
Thanks for the RED test. I was wondering just how much big of a rig it could handle. Don't think I'd go past the 14 though. Just for warranty sake.
In other news, the best solution if you're going to go full rig is to borrow the weight attachment from the original steady cam. Not only will it add the forth axis of stability, but its been around for 40 years so we already know it works. When all the weight is on your waist, your arms are free to just control movements and no longer need to strain to support the weight.
If you’re talking about the Steadicam Arm that attaches to the vest you’re gonna need some type of converter to make the pin at the end of the arm work.
Also those arms are pretty expensive plus the vest.
@@leer6871 They make them. But only the authentic professional versions are hella expensive. There are much less expensive brands for those independent operators outside of Hollywood productions.
These motorized gimbals are fine but they lack the vertical supression that gives sequences that buttery smooth "floating" movements you see in big box office productions
Krane
I’m aware, every steadicam operator that I know (including myself) is confident that gimbals can’t replace the natural and fluid feel of a steadicam.
But gimbals are extremely good for things like car mounts and jibs where the camera is moving and needs to be controlled remotely. Those mounts also allow for built in dampening to reduce vibration.
Krane
Also Hollywood Professional Gimbal Operators wouldn’t be using a Zhiyun Crane 3s.
They’d probably be running a Movi Pro or more recently an RS2 on a ReadyRig, a harness with two poles holding straps that supports a ring that the gimbal sits in.
The poles flex and so does the elastic in the straps which dampens motions.
I’ve seen that type of stabilization side by side with a Steadicam and it’s pretty close. Steadicam has a different character to the movement but a ReadyRig paired with a high level gimbal is certainly fierce competition
Oh that Gimbal! Would be perfect for current middlerange projects!!
But can I mount a leaf blower on it to stabilize the airflow I blow at other gimbals to test their reaction?
It would be a great and totally acurate test I guess
@@missindigton it's only fair to be this accurate. 🤷♂️
When we are trying to balance our life, potato jet is balancing his gimbal😌😂
Me: * spends life savings and orders a weebill s off Amazon *
Gene: “hey, I’m giving away a weebill s”
Me: “ahh, son of a b&%@!”
Hehe sorry for your money dude X w x I almost did the same as you, buuuut then I realised I wouldn't be able to pay my rents If I did sooooo
MissIndigton yeah, I got a sign from God that it was a dumb buy, cause my car started acting up the next day 😂 fix your vehicle or buy a gimbal? Decision, decision. Hahaha
Please send me the weebill s you want to give away I want it please as a beginner 🙏
@@tboifilms stop begging and start saving. smh
Most of the youtubers who teaches film making they are boring but this guy is a real 🥔😂 i love your video
Dji be like:
Let’s make that RC car for the RONIN we never made :)
I know im 3 months to late on the prize but I have advise that little red strip inside the battery is supposed to go under one battery then back up so u can pull the batteries out easier without jamming a knife in there or smacking it upside down. It would be cool if u mentioned it in a video because the reason I been binge watching ur channel recently is the wealth of knowledge u put out so I had to drop a piece right back at u bro but much like ur videos this comments well over done peace
Me making DIY gimbal cause am broke.
Potato jet: here we are with new camera from planet krypton. And it cost my house, neighbors house, and the gas station.
I just bought the weebil S about 2 weeks ago thanks to your review ... and this comes out.
Hi from Bristol, UK! In these unstable times, we all need extra stabilisation. Loved the review, great product, would love to play around on the weebill! x
Zhiyun: can we send you a review unit 3s
PotieJ: yea... what do you want?
ZHIYUN: Can you balance your Classic Arri...
PotieJ: rather not
Zhiyun: you are such a potato 🥔...
Just pray nothing stops working bc Zhiyun's customer service = non-existent.
That little weebill would be great with my EOS R. I've been looking at that since it's small but powerful. This company has been doing great.
No one:
UA-cam comments:
I am once again asking for an entry into your giveaway
Every one thinks his hobby is filming.... they are wrong. It’s buying expensive stuff 😂😂
He does this for a living; its not a hobby.
Balances with the lenscap on.
Rookie mistake Gene, rookie mistake...
this gimbal will definitely the one to complete my set up as a filmmaker! cheers and stay safe.
Gene: "Lets take a look at the new Crane 3s"
Weebil-s: "Daddy is that you?"
Crane 3s:"Yes son, I am back and I got the milk"
Gene:"Give away time"
Weebil-s:"I am going to miss you daddy"
Crane 3s"I will too and you will be like me soon"
Technically speaking, his dad is younger than him. 😂
@@iamwisdomsky Stepdad
Portal Jet: Let’s start mall. Let’s take a EOS R
We: Wtf this is already 2000$
😂😂🙌
Me three weeks ago, scouring internet for Ronin 1 spare parts and batteries. "Come on, baby. Stay together..."
Me today: "Zhiyun, you say...."
Oh god, same. Came back to my Ronin M for the first time in a while, only to find that both batteries jumped off a cliff and I can’t replace them. Very cool.
Literally me as we speak.. Trying to see if it's worth keeping my Ronin for the new RED, or getting a Zhiyun.
That leafblower test 😂 such a creative way to test the stability!
Gene : "The gimbal seems to be STRONG🔥 enough ;But I'm not Strong enough" (The Funniest Part)
Made my Day👍
Me : Oh man send me the GIMBAL Pls.....🙏
I too need it Sir pls send me 👍
If I had the Crane 3s I’d make a Guerrilla quarantine film... I can do it without, but it will have more shaky cam than a Michael Bay movie 🎬😭
Dear Mr. Potato,
I could really use a gimbal for my Canon M50.
P.S. I also identify as a potato. #hookafellowpotatoup
Mee too, I need one for my EOS M :-) Any suggestions?
My G7X might also works on here
Any wedding would be a breeze to shoot with that setup. Everything covered and you only need one lens on it xD
How do you contact the winner?
PS: I'd love to participate.
Haustier TV Just had the same thought..
I think he contacts them by going to there google account and find the email?
Yeah I wouldn't be upset if I won one of those. 🥴
Oh dear I thought u gonna giveaway that big boy, and I thought wot would I do with thath if i win(definitly). But damn am relieved wen u said weebill s😜😜.
Zhiyun basically made as close to a perfect gimbal as is humanly possible, it seems.
I appreciate such technical market disruption. It breeds competition, and that's where we all win!
You should do a video of this with an Alexa. The clicks from the thumbnail alone would be worth at least an extra $500 in ad revenue lolz
I WANT IT, I never got a giveaway in my life :(
Just like 99,9999999999999999999999999999999999% of the humanity, you are not special.
Not gonna lie, I’m one of the 500 dispered people that can’t afford that gimbal and try to win it like this 😐
Same here :)
Same, and mostly because this Covid 19 thing have made my boss put me on hold for the time being 😅
Potato Jet: check out the payload this gimbal can handle!
Me: looks at my puny GoPro. yeap, that gimbal is over built
I do search for a good gimbal now over a year to fit on my panasonic dvx200. Seems like the Crane 3S fits the moneypocket and the size. Thanks for the video potato!
Hey Mr. Jet (yes that is needed), could I win that dope gimbal. I haven't won anything in who knows how long.
The leaf blower test 😂 love it
Dude the gimbal is literally butter smooth with 15 lbs payload 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
aH YES, We recently bought a crane for our girls (filmakers and models). Entry level crane but we love it. this device you have here would definitely improve our videos.
Love this mustard yellow background!
Every video has a shot of Sam turning his cap around because he wants to shoot portrait hehe
It’s a pretty great gimbal. Been fortunate enough to be using this at work.
The only gripe was having a few connection issues with the app and live view.
Reaaaaally frustrating if that is your only workflow at the time.
wooooow, im so impressed with that gimbal.. Looks like most cameras can work on that if not all.. i will definitely be getting that..
Another good video! Thanks for putting content out so I can watch while I'm stuck in Saudi Arabia 👍
Maybe this can bring stability to my life.
I'm so stoked about this gimbal! Great review!!
Potato just loves blasting everything with leaf blower
Dang. Holding a Red and all its accessories?! That gimbal is so powerful!
I never by a product unless I see potato jet master it first💯💯💯
I've got the Zhiyun 2, so sweet but the updates are welcome!
Love the look and style of the new Crane 3s. Hopeful for one in the future.
Can always count on potato to grab the latest gear. Thanks buddy!
I think we need more leaf blower videos! Especially with Sam holding on to stuff
Man this looks fantastic. I have a Rokinon 35 mm cine lens that my Zhiyun crane 3 can't quite handle. Thanks for the review!
Zhiyun Crane 3s is a beast. Potato Jet influenced me to be a photographer
The Weeble S arrived with a stripped horizonal axis. Going up to the big dog. Thnx for vid. Love the leaf blower Haha
The monster gimbal. Love.
Just in time before the 24hrs is over. Lol. Good luck
A gimbal giveaway doing a lockdown?
Sign me up baby :D
Gene is like, "I KNOW!!! We can use a leaf blower to throat punch these motors!"
Classic Gene.
Love your "wind machine" test.
Ever Since I saw Gene's review on the Weebil S I have wanted one. It would be perfect for me, and I think it would open up so many options for me when I am filming.
Potato Jets shortest video ever? One armed challenge with Crane 3S holding RED dragon.
The leaf blower was a nice mad scientist touch lol. You sold me on this. I realize that it's an old video, mad I missed the giveaway. Dope content as always.
I have got the pro kit. It is amazing specially after the firmware upgrade to 1.79. All vibration is gone. Yes, it is heavy, but, what else can give you all these features at this price. Go for it with no regret.
the leaf blower, LMAO win!
Buying a new M50 thanks to you. Can't wait to start vlogging! One day I'll upgrade my gear to include a gimbal.
father and son Gimabal😊 Verynice the next Favorite gimbal!!👍👍
