Thank you Josh - I had just received my Crane 3S today (21 June 2020), and after updating the firmware, watched your video and adjusted the motor strength, and the settings - works like a dream. I must be the only one 'out there' that uses the traditional camcorder for this gimbal - Canon XF 205, but it works fine for me, which is the most important thing! I have four Zhiyun Gimbals! All the Best..! Alan, London, UK
So glad I watched this again. Now that I finally have my 3s balanced, updated and calibrated I noticed the response times on the movements appeared to me to be a little laggy.
Thanks for mentioning that the custom motor strength settings were missing because I noticed that too and was really expecting that feature to be standard on all Zhiyun gimbals post-Weebill S. That is a really strong feature and I was able to make my weebill S perform like a heavy gimble being SUPER smooth. Also a very weird that I experienced with mine before I had to send it back was that it would not respond to follow rate adjustments no matter how far I tuned it. Great video though.
Hey all! Also, be sure to check out the best settings videos for the Ronin S and Weebill S! Ronin S: ua-cam.com/video/IjoTs8pad78/v-deo.html Weebill S: ua-cam.com/video/bjL0x8QpgpA/v-deo.html
Awesome tutorial, exactly what I was looking for. Do you have a tutorial about how to use LUTs with the transmiter over the phone? in case you dont, what should I do to have the Luts , because I copied a folder of luts with different file extensions but they dont appeared on the app.
I have crane plus. Video started getting jittery. I want to know if changing smoothness higher or lower would help. They are set at 100 across the board. It’s set for strong motor. Using d750 and a sigma 12-24 mm lens
hey bro i have a question, for the canon c200 on the crane 3s, which motor setting is the best? i use medium but isent it better to going to medium high?
I was getting vibration with the bmpcc6 and the crane 2s and ive found that sliding the camera body right till the camera touched the plate and the vibration went away. i have motors set to high but the vibration is not there are any setting.
Hi Josh, Thanks for all the videos. A bit unrelated question but hope ou can help me out: I am using Crane 3 LAB and trying to connect my Canon 5dmk2 (or Canon 5dsR) to my phone via ZY Play app. I can control camera settings in the app, but I can not view the image (HDMI cable connected) on the phone app. Any settings on camera I need to change? Appreciate your help.
Hi, can I ask for some help please? I’ve got a reasonably sizeable rig. Zcam, rails, monitor, v mount. matte box, eff and meike 35mm. I also set my settings on the app to the same as yours. When I got the crane 3s it had that classic fault of wobbling. I fixed that dialling the motor strength up to medium/high. However when testing it I still see micro jitters in the vertical plane. My footsteps are highly visible. With a rig like this your arms will micro shake of course. But those jitters and my footsteps seem translates straight to camera. It’s as if it’s handheld. Any tips or settings to fix this? I’m disappointed so far. Actually playing around with it I think the wobble is still there but small. I’ve played with motor strength but not joy. This is driving me nuts.
I have just got th Zhiyun Crane 3 S for my FX9, but I have problem with the video transmitter from Zhiyun. It is updated but it only works when i have the camera in 50p mode. The transmitter is using HDMI. I think this is very strange, why is it not woking in 25P mode? And is there a solution? If you are using the same camera Fx9 please share tips
Hey hey! I just got my Crane 3s Pro in the mail 2 days ago. A long with a few other things, I can not get the smart sling to come on. It has never come on for me. I updated it to the latest version but it’s still not coming on. Do you have any advice for this?
I bought an S3 last week. I'm stuck with some things get it going. I'm finding it difficult to know what to do with the locks, and succeed the firmware update can't seem to get the gimbal going properly.
I can’t calibrate the Gimbal and I can’t reset it. It does not let me get over part 3 of the 6 axis calibration. Would you explain how to calibrate the Gimbal?
Usually with a gimbal that isn't balanced you get a forward 'wobble' based on footsteps but this is a general 'shake'. I'm not getting good results. Tried a heavy lens (sigma sports 70-200) and it still has bad shake.
My Crane 3 has been overheating in 2-3 minutes with just an A7III and 50mm 1.2 - just the follow focus, nothing on the camera, as minimal as it gets. I rebalanced it several hundred times and then started getting massive vibration issues. Can't figure out if this setup is too heavy or too light for this stupid gimbal. what do you think is happening?
I see you’re using the app but not sure if the remote works with other transmitters and receivers. I bought the Zhiyun Transmount system because they said you need it to work the remote. Not sure though.
Hi, got a question. Got my Crane 3s today. But I am experiencing a bit of a motor noise. Its not that loud - but its still there. I want to know if its normal? Or do I need to adjust the motor settings? Tried the strength but not the motor calibration yet.

Excellent tutorial! Very good detail while not over talking. Well done and super helpful!
So glad I watched this again. Now that I finally have my 3s balanced, updated and calibrated I noticed the response times on the movements appeared to me to be a little laggy.
Extremely helpful. You the man Josh, come through with another solid video yet again.
Easy to assemble, good strong materials, feels good, looks good.
thanks, now it's working fine after I saw your video
Thanks for your help bro!
UPS... Great Video. Thank you! How is it about Z8 😬 would you recommend a different Gimbal?
This information is really helpful. Thanks for sharing now I’ll buy it for my bmpcc 6k
Thanks this video helped me out on production set. Big up☝🏿

It’ll probably be over doing it buying this gimbal but I like to future proof it’s cheaper to spend the money once vs buying a second one
Your Video saved my a**. I also have the ronin sc and I was having a really hard time understanding the ZY Play app. Thanks man!
Thank you for informing Josh.very useful for us

Great stuff, man! Hey, with the Hollyland Mars transmitter and receiver, are you able to use the app and remote with it?
I have crane plus. Video started getting jittery. I want to know if changing smoothness higher or lower would help. They are set at 100 across the board. It’s set for strong motor. Using d750 and a sigma 12-24 mm lens
I find that when I mount batteries on top as you did, my gimbal wobbles a lot.
Hey man got any tips if the app doesn’t work really struggling trying to get it work? Can’t even find the bluetooth option
Same here
This video is a big help
Thanks
Thx for sharing mate! When do you do the 6 step calibration? Dont really get this process. Has it be done with the camera on?
my crane ZY Play app won't connect to my Crane 3s, what could be the issue here
Hi Josh,
does your F key on the gimbal also have no pressure point?
Good explanation, thank you.
Brother can we use Sony A7lll camera with this gimbal, will it work since it's a heavy camera gimbal
hey bro i have a question, for the canon c200 on the crane 3s, which motor setting is the best? i use medium but isent it better to going to medium high?

Any thoughts on the Canon EOS R with a 24-70mm L Lens and lens adapter? Would that be heavy enough?
Is there a weight minimum that's recommended?

Did you fix it now?) Same problem ~6 months with my Sony a7 III + G Master 24-70 (((
Can’t connect the crane 3s with zy app…
For this gimbal we need Power in Arms 😂😂😂
The settings will work for Blackmagic production 4k camera?
I cannot get my brand new out of the box 3 S to stop shaking like it's having a seizure! Can you help?
I have just got th Zhiyun Crane 3 S for my FX9, but I have problem with the video transmitter from Zhiyun. It is updated but it only works when i have the camera in 50p mode.

THE AXIS OF THE PANORAMA IS STRICTLY PARALLEL TO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT, AFTER HOW DO YOU CLICK THE RESET BUTTON?
Thanks for your video! Great work! However, I just updated mine to firmware V1.78 and the LCD of the handle doesn't work anymore....any suggestions?
Please do gimbal settings for the dji ronin s please please
Hey hey! I just got my Crane 3s Pro in the mail 2 days ago. A long with a few other things, I can not get the smart sling to come on. It has never come on for me. I updated it to the latest version but it’s still not coming on. Do you have any advice for this?
If I used the Crane 3S with the BMPCC4K, would I need an offset plate? Great video, Josh.
No offset plate needed.
They made the plate ajustable so you don’t need an offset plate, clever stuff
I bought an S3 last week. I'm stuck with some things get it going. I'm finding it difficult to know what to do with the locks, and succeed the firmware update can't seem to get the gimbal going properly.
Hey thanks for this Video.The crane 3s Doesnt work With Sony a7iii and the Smart sling.
I can’t calibrate the Gimbal and I can’t reset it. It does not let me get over part 3 of the 6 axis calibration. Would you explain how to calibrate the Gimbal?
Theres a recent review with an URSA Mini and it still has notable shake. Surely that camera is heavy enough to 'activate' those strong Motors?
Then it’s not properly balanced or calibrated on the gimbal.
Usually with a gimbal that isn't balanced you get a forward 'wobble' based on footsteps but this is a general 'shake'. I'm not getting good results. Tried a heavy lens (sigma sports 70-200) and it still has bad shake.
Whats the name of the app?
How do we get the 3s out of sleep mode motors refuse to engage.
My Crane 3 has been overheating in 2-3 minutes with just an A7III and 50mm 1.2 - just the follow focus, nothing on the camera, as minimal as it gets. I rebalanced it several hundred times and then started getting massive vibration issues. Can't figure out if this setup is too heavy or too light for this stupid gimbal. what do you think is happening?
My crane3s gimbal does not work how yours does , it may be because I don’t know how use it yet , the app does not work for me when I connect it
I see you’re using the app but not sure if the remote works with other transmitters and receivers. I bought the Zhiyun Transmount system because they said you need it to work the remote. Not sure though.
I believe the transmitters allow for viewing picture and control while the app is only control.
Would love to see something explaining motor calibration aka torque i guess in the app. No explanation at all
hey man im looking for that too because the gimbal is too jittery with its turns have you found any thing on how to tweak the settings yet?
@@gramsworld3753 What i have learned is these motors are STRONG try lower strength and or axis calibration
@@treyedwards9265 naw broseph I hate this thing
Hi,
got a question. Got my Crane 3s today. But I am experiencing a bit of a motor noise. Its not that loud - but its still there. I want to know if its normal?
Or do I need to adjust the motor settings? Tried the strength but not the motor calibration yet.
hi, i'm having a little motor noise as well.. so i think this is normal for this type of motors
🙌👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Do you have a similar video for webill s and ronin S?
Yes! Ronin S: ua-cam.com/video/IjoTs8pad78/v-deo.html

Momentum Productions Thanks! You should do an online course , a gimbal masterclass
Hy. can you give me 1 camera ?
