I have Zhiyun 3s Pro version, and had problems with shaking no matter how perfecrly I balance it. I belived that Im not doing it right untill I saw your video and understood it needs upgrade. Thank you for this, I will deffinitely upgrade and I if it works I will get even more in love with this gimball. To be honest, Im new with gimbals, never used it before and this is my first one. P.S. my camera is Canon C100 MK2
I downloaded new firmware update and it seems that problem is solved, but I will do filming with it tomorrow and see real situation. Your videos are realy helpfull, thank you for that 🙂
thanks, Zhiyun Crane 3S a good gimbal and I've got some amazing shot with it.. but it's a big too big for me..that's why I bought Ronin RS2 this week.. it's ligther and can fit into my hiking backpack :)
I know the gimbal is big but I still think it one of the best for cinema cameras. I'll like to see a dual-handle setup on it. I’m planning to buy it for my Blackmagic pocket 6k.
@@tomstrojnik i have still ronin s for my c200. But i was alsow thinking to take the rs2. Before that i want to ask for a honestly answer: is for you the rs2 better option?
@@KBProduction1988 100% yes, RS2 is more powerful and even better build quality. I used Ronin S as well, but RS2 is worth the upgrade 100%. It's also smaller and lighter.. I love it!
I'm looking for a gimbal to hold my EVA1 and FUJINON XK20-120 preferably with a body rig when needed as it's a heavy setup but the images are outstanding as is the reach. Any thoughts?
@@tomstrojnik Hi Tom, Thanks for your video and very instructive work. Finally, which one fits you the most? I've my old FS7 Mk 1 (3kg with a wild lense) and I'm torn between 3S and RS2. Seems that the Crane is pretty heavy..
Nice video bro! i have alsow a Canon C200, but still with a old Ronin S. So the Crane 3s is still a better choise ? i heared from people that the crane is not smoothly enough...
Crane 3S is a better choice... or Ronin RS2 if you have the budget :) I am selling my Crane because I got RS2 - I prefer the smaller size for hiking etc
@@tomstrojnik i know the original quick relaise plate of rs2 is unussable for cinema cameras because of shaking when walking. There's a new and longer smallrig plate for rs2 for cinema cameras.
Very good video Tom 👏 i have the new fx6 and want the perfect gimbal for it 😀 what do you think is better for me: the Crane 3s or the Crane 2s? I am not sure 🤔 best cinematic greetings from germany
Hey Tom! Thanks for your video. About to purchase a DJI RS2 for my C200 with a 24-70mm. Do you have any experience with this kind of setup? Do you think it will work? Thanks for making videos just subscribed! :)
It can handle it, but 24-70 might be too heavy.. I usually used 50mm f1.2 or 16-35 f4 with my C200... and of course I completely stripped down C200 and mounted monitor on dual handle.
Hi I read the wireless transmitter internal battery only last 1.5 hours, seems short and have to recharge during a shoot? Will the additional Zhiyun battery power pack provide continuous power or is there another solution? Would like to have feed to an iPad all day for client. Thank you!
@@tomstrojnik Ronin S works as long as you have a light lens. I just bought DZO FILM Pictor zoom 20-55 and it doesn't fit any more...so I just ordered the Crane 3s
@@hallastudio I've just ordered Ronin RS2 yesterday.. curious to see how it compares to Crane 3S! And yes I had C200 on Ronin S as well, but with a pancake lens ofc :)
What a poor answer you gave to the last question. That is no way to help other people. I think you are lying in order to advertise this product. I have tried every possible way and I have not been able to control the C200 from the Crane 3s smartsling. I even bought a cable straight from Zhiyun and it does not fit the terminal in the camera.
This gimbal is quality ! I’m still using the crane 2 but will upgrade soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Only upgrade if you are planning to use it with a cinema camera, otherwise crane 2 is more than good enough! :)
Finally someone that is speaking from experience. Great advice!

Did it work
I love crane 3s but your right it is heavy and hard to use in tight situations but other than that I think it’s better than any other gimbal out there
Yup.. it's pretty big, but a very good product :) however I sold it and got RS2 and Canon c70.. a great combo for outdoor filmmaking
@@tomstrojnik wow I actually tried the rs2 and didn’t like it at all the crane 3s gives me more room to operate larger cameras
@@directorjparker1415 true that, that's why i got c70
Thank you so much for the video,so many experiences sharing makes it much better than others,at least better from my sight.

Nice review. It makes me love my Crane 3S even more. I'm curious about the tube lights you used in your video. What are those?
YONGNUO RGB Led Lights
Nice Montenegro aerial shots there ;)
Montenegro is really beautiful!
Awesome! I shoot a lot of Marine too so this was really helpful. Thanks Tom :)
I've checked your videos, good content! Keep creating!
Merci pour le partage. I wonder how it would work with the fx6. 👍
It should handle it with no problem :)

Yup, it's a good gimbal! But I've sold it and got DJI RS2.. because Crane 3S is to big for me to hike with it in mountains etc
@@tomstrojnik fair enough

@@tomstrojnik but they said that the rs2 is not appropriate for c200 because of the viewfinder...

I’ll stay posted to see if the dual handle helps!!
i just bought Ronin RS2 with dual handle, because it's lighter and can fit into my backpack.. Crane 3S is a bit too big for hiking adventure etc

Cool! Do you think I could fit my Sony PMW-EX1 on there?
Yes, it should fit :)
Im late here but what do you think about using this with a FX3? Would it be too light? would it support the new fx3 firmware? thanks
It’s not too light. Don’t know regarding the firmware though, sorry
Hello, thanks for your video. Have you been able con get the cable to control de C200 from the gimbal?
yes :)
@@tomstrojnik how?
Please what camera is that
Canon C200

@@FF-gu7jz Nope, it's too big for my style of filming.. I prefer RS2

I never used the additional battery pack, so no idea tbh.. sorry bro :)
@@tomstrojnik Ah no worries thanks!
Hi bro. Can c200 cameras be controlled with gimbal?? ??? (recording button, ios).
Sadly no
i have bmpcc 4k do you recommend this crane 3s or should pay crane 2s or rs2
You don't need the 3s :) 2s or Ronin will be a great choice! Even older Ronin S works great with bmpcc 4k
