Looking forward to the X-S20 review
smoothest footage I have seen with this gimbal
Good comprehensive review. I have the older M3, the only complaint with A7IV is that it tends to wobble when there is mild to medium wind. I also have DJI RSC which can handle the wind but at the cost of a much larger and heavier setup, but I prefer the M3 for its compactness.
Hello William. One reviewer said that Zhiyun M3S motor strugle in underslung mode. Did you notice it. I need gimbal for toddler so underslung mode will be used probably most of the time.
Can you recommend small gimbal that works well in this mode. I have Sony zve10.
Thank you
Hey, I love the video but I have some questions, I have a Fuji xs10 with a 16-80mm lens do you think this payload is too heavy for the crane M3? If it is what do you recommend, I have been looking at the rs3 mini but it’s a little more on the expensive side and I’m on a tight budget.
Looking at the manufacturer, the XS20 is not yet in their compatibility list.
FUJIFILM X-S20 is in the crane M3S camera compatible list:zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20231129/1701251289194-PdMRMYa8.pdf
Yes, it's true
Seems like a great option for a compact vacation video gimbal.
I think that it is.
i cant connect my xs20 to bluetooth any solution?
I like the compact size of that gimbal. Great review, and thanks for sharing.
Could you also fit a lens in that bag?
What is the connecter you are using with the Fuji? It is not the one like mine came with.
Great review as always! I have one and it's well-balanced but sometimes still vibrates when I'm aiming it down too much. Do you recommend a medium or high torque setting for a Sony ZV-E10 with the 11mm? Any advice would be appreciated bc it seems like it should hold much more from everything I've seen.
I recommend using auto calibration function and leaving it as it is.
@@TheHybridShooter ok thanks will try making sure it's balanced again and then leave the settings after calibration
Thanks for the review! Would you risk getting this gimbal for an X-H2 + Tamron 17-70 2.8 / Viltrox 13mm 1.4 / Sigma 30mm 1.4?
My pleasure! No, I would not. Weebill 3S is ideal for that.
Can you still pan and tilt with the X-S20?
Awesome review as always! When's your X-S20 review coming out?
Thank you, hopefully on Sunday.
@@TheHybridShooter Thank you. Very much looking forward to it. X-S20 has my very close attention as travel/family camera
@@TheHybridShooterLooking forward to it. I wonder whether the two command dials can be customized which wasn’t possible on the X-S10.
@@womz8203 the left command dial on the X-S10 is customizable, yes. But a common mistake (i did that) is to think that the options are the ones that appears on the screen - it is the last page of options, moving the joystick upwards shows a lot of other options.
@@MarcioKSorry, I was actually referring to the two command dials on the front and back of the grip not the Function dial (what it's called by Fujifilm). On the X-S10 there was no way to customize the command dials on the grip. I do realize that they aren't pressable/clickable like on the X-T cameras, but it would still be nice to be able to customize which dial sets aperture and which dial sets shutter speed. I hope this is possible on the X-S20.
Great review.
Are you familiar with weebill s? This one doesn't look that much smaller than weebill s but I wonder if stabilization is any better.
Thank you! Yes, I am familiar with Weebill S, it is even shown in the video. It actually is much bigger than the Crane M3S, but it is also stronger. I have have said, it is a middle option between the Crane M3S and Weebill 3S.
How to connect the quick release plate to our camera ? Do we need to buy an extra screw for connecting that ?
You can refer this user guide: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20231229/1703837987496-wwsnDAaC.pdf
Does the Bluetooth shutter control works on fujifilm XS20?
Fujifilm XS20 is not in the compatible list and it may exist the compatible issue.
Yes, its true. Waiting for..
@@user-ki2rd6ku9r any updates? regarding compatible gimbals for xs20?
Would it handle the S5II with the LUMIX Primes? Already have the DJI RS3, but looking to get something smaller for travel, for basic movements a and motion-lapses.
Probably not. You may be able to get it to work, but there would be performance limitations.
Would you recommend this for the Fuji XT5 with Fuji xf33mm f1.4 as well as Sony A7C with FE 55mm F1.8?
For occasional use, I would. For more frequent use I would go with Weebill 3S instead.
Would you recommend for Sony ZV E10 and Sigma 16mm 1.4f
Yes, I would.
Cam you use a button to take photo?
Long press the photo/video button to take photo.
Hi, can you review the Moza Aircross S?
Unfortunately, I can't, I don't have one.
Is it good for xh2s + viltrox 13mm?
You may have a look, on page 30: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230725/1690274300318-PGCQ6rRh.pdf
Does fuji xs20 work with viltrox 27 mm f.1.2 pro?
yes
Can you compare the DJI RS3 Mini vs Zhiyun M3S ?
Unfortunately, I can’t.
@@TheHybridShooter Why so?
I don’t have one.
Hello, is this gimbal compatibility with X-S20?
Yes, here's the compatibility list of the Crane M3S, on page 13: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230725/1690274300319-HD2pY33a.pdf
Not yet
Can it handle the S5II with the Sigma 16-28?
I could be borderline possible, but I don't recommend it. Weebill 3S is a much better choice for that.
Is. M3s better than rs3 mini for fuji xs20
It is in a different size category than the RS3 mini, so not better or worse. RS3 mini competes with Weebill 3S.
@@TheHybridShooter would u prefer to use m3s or rs3mini for Fuji xs20?
@@Gohjunyi88 I have never tested RS3 mini, so I don't know.
@@TheHybridShooter for xs20 + m3s, does the eyepiece hit the gimbal when hanging?
No one gimbal not support x-s20 yet.. Waiting for
BE AWARE that the M3S and X-S20 are *not* currently able to connect via Bluetooth. This review indicated the opposite, and I'm honestly pretty frustrated to have gotten this pair and have it not work.
Where exactly does it indicate that it works with X-S20? This review indicates that you should refer to the compatibility list.
My m3 I connect camera to the gimbal with the cable and then I connect through Bluetooth to my iPhone. No problem.
Yes I have an X-S20 as well it's not compatible with any one I'm wondering what do I di
@@aaronmedina182we are waiting for...
I have a X-20 what functionality does it lose cause i dont see it in tge compatibility list
i saw it in the list which support cable connect: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20231129/1701251289194-PdMRMYa8.pdf
Great review as usual. Only thing that I wanted Zyiyun to do (in fact, was a deal breaker for me) is that I wanted a black version. The white color brings a lot of attention, which is undesirable in travel videos.
About the X-S20 (your review is one that I waiting the most): I wonder if you can confirm the very strange situations in crop factor regarding 10-bit video in DCI and 4k.
The X-T4 could record 10-bit 4:2:0 video in 30/25/24p in 4k and DCI using H.265 400mbps with no crop.
The X-S20, with the same sensor and a much better processor, according to the Fujifilm documentation, only could record DCI and 4K video using 10bit 4:2:2 360mbps (lower bitrate) in 30/25/24p with a 1.1 (with DIS enable) or 1.18x (without DIS enabled).
The subsampling is better, but the bitrate is lower than the X-T4, but even with a better processor, now the camera have a crop with 10bit? And why you have a BIGGER crop without DIS enabled? Is very strange and very illogical.
Ok, you could have no crop with open gate 6.2k, but with open gate you don´t have oversampling - a test quality comparing open gate and DCI/4k would be great too.
Thanks in advance.
It can shoot 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 up to 30p with no crop, there seems to be a mistake in the specs list. 360 Mbps is already an overkill for HVEC + keep in mind that the X-S line is positioned below X-T, so asking for higher bitrate wouldn´t be reasonable. It can´t downsample 6.2K because it already uses full sensor resolution.
Thats funny how you used 'open gate' and 'no oversampling' in a conflicting way
Also while the less crop in dis is weird - it is due to fuji's ibis warping a lot if it covers end to end ( such as on a wide angle lens ) , the dis allows fuji to still use the edge due to it being stabilized digitally
Atleast thats the hopeful logical explanation
@@KNAPPAID No, that is not the case, it is simply a mistake in the specs sheet.
@@TheHybridShooter oh , is that about the ibis , if so then it makes more sense than my explanation then
Thank you
@@KNAPPAID no, it has nothing to do with IBIS, there is no crop in 4K 30p without DIS.
Zhiyun weebill 3s or dji rs3?
Those are gimbals from different categories, so depends on what you are looking for.
can i use a manfrotto quick release base for the crane m3s?
no
