Thank you for the explanations of the modes on the Crane. I have been practicing all weekend but the modes weren’t very clear to me. I must say that I really love this over the Ronin S which I found its form heavy for my skinny arms. I also recently sent the Weebil back because it was to small to handle the EOS R well. With the Crane I have been able to my EOS R along with my Tamron 24-70 G2 wiki has is a heavy lens. I just have to remember to retract the lens when I shut down the Crane or the camera topples over. LOL
Awesome video, I just ordered my 3S pro should be showing up by Wednesday and looking forward to testing it out with some videos on my truck for my UA-cam channel.
I have a Ronin for my 5D (hate it). I have an EVO GP Pro for my GoPro (LOVE IT). Was thinking about buying the EVO Rage 3 but sorted as this Zhiyun looks a bit more capable. I do residential photography and ronin is horridly uncomfortable and difficult to setup. Plus is has no controls on it (lest you spend more money). Perhaps it's more cabable in other reguards than these as it is quite expensive but it's not very practical. The EVO is for run and gun stuff that' doesn't require all that much quality of a higher end camera. And I LOVE it, despite a couple quirks (motors are noisy, and blocks gopro power on button but with voice on not a problem).
I'm debating between this gimball and the ronin S..I would appreciate some insights if any...most youtubers won't answer cause they are sponsored, and it's frustrating that a direct answer is not given...
Aye bro...if you get any info anywhere please respond to me here because that's my exact dilemma. I'm saving my nickels for the Ronin S and then saw this one and u have put the same question on multiple reviews and I'm currently waiting on some feedback
At the moment, the Crane 3 is my favorite gimbal because of the 2 handed design and locking motors. The app on the Ronin S is better and build is slightly better. For now (Its fast changing) Crane 3 is ahead in my opinion.
I am not sponsored and I will give you my honest opinion because I know someone that uses the Ronins S. I just recently purchased this Crane 3. I love it. My friend who uses the Ronin S also like the Zhiyun Crane 3 better than the Ronin S. Get the creative package and you will have absolutely no regrets.
@Arvid Kracht Hey Arvid. I asked him what did he like better about the Ronin S? He stated that he like the Ronin a lot but if he had to do it all over again, he would have definitely waited for the Crane 3. Especially for the ease in balancing the gimbal as well as the unique style of the handle. Not that the Ronin is difficult, but the Crane offers more versatility, especially in really tight spaces. He also thinks that the motors are stronger on the Crane 3, so the stabilization is just a tad bit better looking. Of course you will know how you plan to use your gimbal more than anyone else. I spent quite a bit of time watching the reviews before I made my choice. I tend to dive deep into the research.
Yes. The lens I'm using has an internal zoom so it doesn't offset the balance of the gimbal, some lenses will change the balance, so I would only use the zoom for effect but shoot at a the same fixed focal length most of the time. To be honest, it's rare that I change the zoom, but its nice to have that option, usually for events.
@6;21 what will happen of this till balance, while externally moving out zoom lens is used? Vy zoom in / zoom out, won't the balance will shift heavily ( on any gimble model)? or the motor will compensate with extra load?
Great review, just got mine. Thing is really heavy with all attachments on it. Especially a GH5 with 18-35 sigma and a speedbooster, back is killing me :(
Will this stabilizer work with this camera? Canon EOS M6 Mark II Mirrorless Digital Compact Camera + EF-M 18-150mm f/3.4-6.3 Please leave me a response and your thoughts?
can you show a realistic use of the motors for zoom and focus ? Do they "jumpstart" or can you adjust how they kick inn ? I got a message from producer, that we can not change the speed of zoom, during one zooming, but if its like ON/ OFF, it will look amateur, how smooth are these engines ?
I connected my mobile as you recomended but always the A7iii shows the message USB MODE Mass Storage. I already tryed set the USB comands on câmera as turn off all USB setup on câmera and the message still the same. Would you have any tip to solve that?
no it don't and the worst is the motors are quite strong with no torg clutch. you can set in and out point but if you go a few times over the full range the thooth wire can have moveed so your in and out point is not the same anymore
I know this is an older vid, and thank you for making this review. But, in some of your close-ups of the harp player the use of stabilization software in post-prod is visible. This leads me to believe that the crane is really not an all-around, super smooth cinematography tool? I am assuming that its smoothness really depends on the user's movement (feathering your steps, working out of your knees etc.) and what frame rate you are shooting in. Not sure if you are answering comments, but for 24fps fiction-film projects you'd probably want to go with something much more stable and more expensive? My next assumption is that a tracked dolly or slider will probably always get you the better moving shot in a 24fps project than a stabilizer?
Hi Dennis, Hope you don't mind me asking, what gimbal would you personally recommend for mainly 24fps (+ higher fps) shorts/cine/slowmo/b rolls/wedding movies, there will be very rare run n gun scenes but have factor that in. I was torn between DJI Ronin S and Z crane 3 Lab. Is ther anything else within similar budget you'd recommend? Thanks.
@@morphedrenegade hi there, to be honest, that's a really tough question. Right now I am working for some fiction projects with the Zhiyun Crane 3, some small rig attachment options to mouth accessories, like my ninja 7. It takes practice to get the shot setup and executed correctly, tons of trial and error. To be honest an actual dolly or slider would still be your best bet. For everything else, like weddings, or real estate you can trust the stabilizer in 60p for some smooth shots, however for 24p fiction, or 24p in general, I am not convinced. I tried using the setup for doc shooting too, and I always found the better frame either via shoulder mount, or entirely handheld, since doc is often true run and gun. So, not sure if that answered your question at all, apologies upfront if not. "Edit" what it comes down to is picking your frame upfront, work closely with a story board and allow ample time to film your scenes/shots, working with your legs, knees and feather your movement, plus do it all very slowly so you don't jerk the gyros. Time to work out too! Some additional arm grease, especially your forearms will help a lot. All in all, it can be done with enough practice.
@@machinegunyelly6944 Thank you so much for your reply and you absolutely correct because I did think that it also makea difference how it is handled. Much apreciated. Thanks again.
Does the Crane 3 Lab crop your footage while you film as part of the stabilization (like digitally zoom it while recording), or does it keep it the same if you were shooting like normal?
Great video, thanks! Can you explain more about the settings of the Sony A7iii camera? I did not succeed to set it up well (black screen on my camera when recording).
There are several things you need to set up. If you plug in the HDMI, the display will show on your mobile device instead of the camera. You have to set up the HDMI to TV out settings. I suggest googling it and following the instructional carefully, that's what I did. I will add the settings to my website to help people do it. (May take me a day or so to add it).
photoshopCAFE I just unplugged the HDMI cable and it worked! It was that simple, but did not thought of that :) Thanks! Great if you add a description of the settings.
Hello everyone! Can someone help me recover my Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab gimbal? I wanted to update the firmware and apparently everything was done correctly, but when I turned it back on it no longer had software!!!! It said that the firmware is 0.00 I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME!
Great video that has really helped me a lot! just like to ask, how do you store your zhiyun crane 3 Lab when travelling? Do you put it in a separate bag or do you recommend a bag that will fit everything? Thanks again!
I have canon 80D and zhiyun crane 3 Lab. I want to watch capturing videos on my camera and mobile, on both screen but I can't, when I connect HDMI cable between gimble and camera then camera loses display. please, help to solve this problem.
I think that's how the camera works, when you plug in HDI it takes over the screen, if you aren't using an external display, do you need to plug in HDMI? Its been a long time since I made this vid, so I don't quite remember
Oh, two more questions: 1. can I attach my own monitor to that threaded little hole on the left? I have Cardelini articulated arm systems, and a 7 inch ultrabright monitor. I assume it is standard threading, to fit most articulated arms, but need to be sure... 2. when you use the REC button on gimbal, does gimbal show a "record" light, word or anything that would let me see my A7iii is actually recording? Can't always see the small red REC on the back screen of camera, especially in sunny outdoors situations... And sure can't hear the "beep" either. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
Yes, its a standard mount, there are also other places you can mount accessories on the gimbal. I don't think the red light is on the gimbal, only on the camera and it will also appear on your monitor.
Thank you for creating such a comprehensive, helpful review. I appreciate you! You came to my neck of the woods, was shooting in the poppies just a few weeks ago ;). I am about to take the plunge with this gimbal, too many great feature to pass. HOWEVER, I hope the (almost 4 lbs) weight is not going to come back to bite me in the neck. I am a woman and 110 lbs. :/ - I am after that follow focus feature, but it seems to me that rotating the wheel WHILE shooting and holding gimbal with BOTH hands would require a third hand? LOL I saw you leaned the gimbal on your leg to rotate but that defeats the purpose, so how do you approach this? Can you actually reach the wheel and rotate it while using both hands on gimbal?
I have a panasonic G9 and I like to use my Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm optical zoom lens for filming nature far away. It's a fairly heavy lens, do you think that combo can be balanced and held up by the Crane 3 when the zoom is fully extended? It's max payload is almost 10 lbs. Or would I need to add a cage and counter weight on top of that to achieve it?
@@photoshopcafe Thanks. I'm sure as gimbals continue to evolve and get more payload ability, eventually it might become a reality without having to use a counter weight on top of the camera.
where is the video for the focus servos? I just ordered the creative package and it will be arriving tomorrow. I shoot with the Sony A7R3 now, just recently switching from the Nikon D800 cameras ( I have 3 of those). My business partner switched first from Nikon to the Sony A7r2, and by the time he convinced me to switch the A7R3 had made its debut.
Great video, I have a question for you? I am setting this up on a Nikon D850 and it has been a total pain to set up. The LV only works when it feels like it and if it does at all. I've contacted the manufacturer and I've not gotten a response regarding this issue. I've searched the internet and nothing. Would you happen to know how do set this camera so it works with the LV? Thanks
So i bought zhiyun crane 2 about 10m ago. Can't find trace of the retailer I got it from. Thought it could handle 5diii w 16-35f4. But as best as I can balance it, on strong mode, it still has a minor wobble... Any suggestions?
@@photoshopcafe thanks for th3 reply.. yes I have calibrated it. I'll try medium. Problem is I only use it for the odd video job as I mainly do stills. Nightmare when you you have to use warp stabilizer on every clip ! Cheers :)
@@darryltinney5142 When I did weddings by myself, I had two cameras recording, One with my steadicam and other on a tripod. I relied on the audio from the stationary camera. Then I invested in a zoom h4 which made my job easier. Today I use three or four cameras when I film a wedding. Good luck to you.
I was trying to figure out how to use this and you kept skipping steps. I am so confused. Guess I’ll use another video. I don’t even know what you were pointing at.
Halis H says: "The price of Crane 3 Lab in Zhiyun is too high, and the price will be more attractive if it is closer to photography enthusiasts." == Do you remember the price of Steadicam when it came out? It was for professional only and priced only for the professional(if my memory serves me correctly it was $several thousand).
Warp stabilization much.. very obvious too.. if your not sponsored, you would have mentioned that.. you did not list one negative... no gimbal is perfect.. lies lies lies
@@ttight11 There is a app but image transmission dont work on most phones. For exanple S7 edge Huawai P20 lite. And with no image you cant use most of the features
Zoom and focus servo setup here: ua-cam.com/video/M0hEgLnr8g0/v-deo.html

Dude, first review on YT which is ACTUALLY A GOOD COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW. Nice work!

Awesome video, I just ordered my 3S pro should be showing up by Wednesday and looking forward to testing it out with some videos on my truck for my UA-cam channel.

To compare the price of the first generation Steadicam and this, it sounds like a steal.

Very clear review I bought allready
You should make a video explaining whats the diff between max and lite
Max is for zoom as it requires more power, lite is for focus
Thats good idea
The question i have is some lenses when you zoom they change size, so when you balance and then start doing zooming wouldnt it offset the balance?
Yes. The lens I'm using has an internal zoom so it doesn't offset the balance of the gimbal, some lenses will change the balance, so I would only use the zoom for effect but shoot at a the same fixed focal length most of the time. To be honest, it's rare that I change the zoom, but its nice to have that option, usually for events.
Good day, will my Canon 1D Mark IV work on this Crane 3?
Thanks for sharing great pictures 🎥and wonderful pictures of the flowers 💐 and lots of good information 👍

Vy zoom in / zoom out, won't the balance will shift heavily ( on any gimble model)? or the motor will compensate with extra load?
Nice and clear review, tumb up for you
Thanks
Wish this had better compatibility with the bmp4k
Appreciate the clarity of presentation. Now I can perfectly control my Crane 3. May I know what lens you are using for this purpose on Sony alpha?
I can't lock the plate on to the gimbal the camera slides. How can I fix this??
It looks more convenient than existing products.
Thanks for very good gimbal review 😀👌
hi, tell me, when you move forward, there is no jerking a little? my video is twitching
Great review, just got mine. Thing is really heavy with all attachments on it. Especially a GH5 with 18-35 sigma and a speedbooster, back is killing me :(
Can we use panasonic gh5 with sigma 18-35 in crane 3 LAB with zoom and focus wheel motor sir
Will this stabilizer work with this camera? Canon EOS M6 Mark II Mirrorless Digital Compact Camera + EF-M 18-150mm f/3.4-6.3 Please leave me a response and your thoughts?
Amazing review thx , I have a question
In vortex mode, the speed of the rotation can be adjusted.? Becoz I noticed that it is to slow...
yes the joystick controls the speed.
can you show a realistic use of the motors for zoom and focus ? Do they "jumpstart" or can you adjust how they kick inn ? I got a message from producer, that we can not change the speed of zoom, during one zooming, but if its like ON/ OFF, it will look amateur, how smooth are these engines ?
Sony lens you are using, is it full frame lens?
I connected my mobile as you recomended but always the A7iii shows the message USB MODE Mass Storage. I already tryed set the USB comands on câmera as turn off all USB setup on câmera and the message still the same. Would you have any tip to solve that?
Does focus and zoom have autocalibration mode? I am affrait it would eventually break my lenses with hard stops.
no it don't and the worst is the motors are quite strong with no torg clutch. you can set in and out point but if you go a few times over the full range the thooth wire can have moveed so your in and out point is not the same anymore
Great review, I want one!
Take it
Sir Amazing review thanks
I have the crane 2 ... want the crane 3 .. looks so much handyer.
I like it more, although the light weight and simplicity of the 2 still has its place

Will the Crane 3 work with a Canon C100 mark ll with a 24-105 lense? Excellent review, one of the best I've seen

Make sure you set up the sony menus correctly
@@photoshopcafe What exactly needs to be set up in the menus?
thank you for the review sir... clear & useful...
GTR-3. $180k?
I was trying to figure out how to use this and you kept skipping steps. I am so confused. Guess I’ll use another video. I don’t even know what you were pointing at.
super
Don't think Crane 3 is the best, got some bugs.
The price of Crane 3 Lab in Zhiyun is too high, and the price will be more attractive if it is closer to photography enthusiasts.

Do you remember the price of Steadicam when it came out?
It was for professional only and priced only for the professional(if my memory serves me correctly it was $several thousand).
Well, it was just on sale for $450 2/5/20. The _regular_ price has gone down and seems to be $600-700 not quite a year later. Is that better?
Warp stabilization much.. very obvious too.. if your not sponsored, you would have mentioned that.. you did not list one negative... no gimbal is perfect.. lies lies lies
The Android app is useless with this gimble as it has trouble connecting and when you can connect it does not show an image in the phones view finder.
Damage what "brushes"? Those are all AC brushless motors . . .
Damage motors, its easy to misspeak when the red recording light is on :) But I think you know what I meant
Using a Crane 3 Lab.

The APP dosen't work with Android Phones.... huge downside
Can this be confirmed? There is no Android app???
@@ttight11 There is a app but image transmission dont work on most phones. For exanple S7 edge Huawai P20 lite. And with no image you cant use most of the features
Please don't review black kit wearing a black shirt.
APP is poor. No improving at all. It is not worth to buy.
