We just published the comparison of the Crane 3 Lab and the Moza air 2 and the DJI Ronin S, thanks for asking about it: ua-cam.com/video/7OJDMmEpNG0/v-deo.html
Aside from the interface and ease of use, it doesn't really seem to be an upgrade from my Crane 2. I have a monitor mount and double handle, so it eliminates a lot of problems I had. Great review! Seems like I'll keep my Crane 2 for another year.
Martin Berntsen could you post links to where you bought the handles and monitor? I’m looking to do that to my crane 2 as well. There’s so many options I’m wondering what has worked for you. Thank you
@@alphasnowmediapro7175 Hey, sorry for the late reply. I advice you check out Aliexpress, which is where I got mine. There you can buy a monitor stand and monitor. I bought my monitor from Amazon, a Neewer field monitor.
Thank you Alex & Xavi, outstanding review and testing of the new Crane 3 gimbal. Wow, they sure have updated this gimbal with all the wants that people have been asking for into this one package. As always, excellent video footage and editing, thank you and take care!
Thanks for your great video! How it perform when it comes to a competition with Ronin S and Moza air 2? I mean without these fancy functions and looking, the most important things to a gimbal is stabilize, right?
Thank you for this tutorial, I am having problems with my Crane 3 Lab, I've upgraded it to V1.90 and then I attempted to upgrade the Servo Motors (Max & Lite) but there is a Yellow light that continues to blink. Have you experienced this problem or can you offer me any assistance? I can't seem to find a number for tech support in the US for this manufacturer.
I loved this crane but after your review i have to collect the money for zhyun crane lab 3 !!!!! And seriously unboxing of this crane I'll take to you;
I have trouble using zoom control on Crane 3. I’m using a7r3 with Tamron 28-75mm lens. The zoom control slips a couple of teeth when it’s trying to zoom. Have you seen this issue ?
I was saving to get the DJI Ronin and now this 3 has sparked my intrigue. Does anyone have any info or feedback as I stash my nickels to get some type of stabilizer?
curious about the zoomcontroller.... zoomlenses shift the balance, even the once with internal focus. So... how will the balance be then? I hope these gimbals will bridge the gap toward motorised sliders with pan/tilt options.... since those are extremely expensive still...
yeah but it's about the lens... zooming the lens will shift your balance point... even with the internal focus lenses, some glass is moving from left to right or back.... even a lenscap will change your balance, so...
@@JePeVePe, yes, it is sensitive, but that must be happened in every gimbal. because if you add some thing on the quick set up. the weight will be changed, then you need to adjust the balance again.
@@gracejacob5016 i thought about this and apparently there are lenses that have internal zoom on them. I accidentally bought one. The sony 18-105 f4 e-mount lens. has an internal zoom. Meaning the size doesn't change when zoomed in and out
Hey guys thank you so much for all the great content and this amazing review! You've pretty much sold me on this gimbal but I’m a little confused about the follow focus. Is there a way to have a remote device (Not a phone) for another person to follow focus with? Does this system only provide follow focus with the focus wheel on the gimbal, or is there a way I can have a dedicated focus puller to have an external monitor and a remote such as the ifocus from mozu air 2. I've been looking everywhere to try and get this answered but can't find it anywhere and would love to be sure before I pull the trigger :) Really appreciate any help, thank you so much! :)
Have crane 2.any real reasons to upgrade to 3? It seems more comfi but what matters is-is footage going to be more stabilized or any better or the same?
@@gracejacob5016 Thanks Grace. Is that your personal experience or just your opinion? If yes , can you please give me some percentage like Crane 3 is 50% better or more then Crane 2. Just trying to figure out if it is worth it to upgrade.
Just 5 years ago you couldn't get a basic 3-axis gimbal for less than $2k. I have a Movi M5 which currently retails for around $2500 and has no integrated follow focus/zoom or camera control functions. What you're getting here for $900 is incredible.
Just watched from Dubai. Very happy to see my future Camera sitting on the gimbal. I think they have included some Fuji support since your review so if you could check that out and let me know how it is that would be great. How does the Fuji perform on the gimbal in general? and what lenses are you using?
My experience with Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab is not good. I returned it. and Bought AK2000 from Feiyutech, I used it from a couple weeks, up to now it works good, hope this gimbal will not make me down.
It more or less feels the same than a ronin or the air 2. After a while you get used to it. We were using the ronin for filming this video and i couldnt really feel a diff. For travel definitely as the box is really thin and the 3lab folds super easy
ehr... you get 2 motors for followfocus and for a zoom, controlled all by the gimbal... Try to find such in any other gimbal... I paid the same price for a 'normal' CAME-TV gimbal.

And does the zoom function and the built in follow focus system work with the Fujifilm XT3? is that follow focus even built in lol or u added it yourself? Thanks
best gimbal!? everyone look at the footage i uploaded. this thing has SO many tiny little vibrations that your footage is worthless. yes, my camera weighs 6 lbs and is balanced. the lab 3 isnt nearly as great as the footages you see youtubers post
Unfortunately when it arrived I spent more than 2 hours trying to stabilize the camera and turn on the crane. The gimbal would power on and then shortly after power off (batteries at full charge). After talking with other zhiyun crane owners we realized that it was defective.
image transition is just not posibile with GH5 and Android.... if you have a Sony you can switch to Video Mode and back to M and get a picture... so your wrong is wrong :p @@8020Alive

It seems that this would be a better gimbal for the bmpcc4k
Swapping out the battery on the GH5 is not easy. The door is blocked by the thumbscrew on the side of the plate.
Crane 3 Lab half off (at least today B&H and Amazon $450) so I snapped it up! That was a no brainer!

Thanks a lot for your words steve. Zhiyun truly is playing another league now as they maybe couldn't with the crane 2. We are really happy
What about the audio ? Is there any motor noise to worry about when you record by built in mic?
Its pretty quite. I have one and no motor sounds
Thanks for your great video! How it perform when it comes to a competition with Ronin S and Moza air 2?

It stabilize the same. What changes is your feel and your way to use it.

Can the Crane 3 do 360 barrel rolls? I know the last one couldn't and I also noticed that when you were controlling in the app it had hard stops.
This video is great and helpful, thanks! Which screen monitor would you recommend to use with this new gimbal?

You can buy it here on AliExpress
Thanks for the video, while the gimbal is oddly shaped compared to traditional gimbal designs
Wow ! Can you explain how you managed to have the X-T3 display within the zhiyun app ? Didn’t know this can be done !
Just used the HDMI that comes with the gimbal.
We Talk UAV Just googled it : ViaTouch technology. Hope they will produce an external module with it therefore we can use it on older version !
It's expensive gimbal but looks good.

Having tested it at a trade show I was amazed by how cheap it was...

Crane 3 is a beast!
True!
It is suitable for pantex ks2
I have ordert one now. Thanks for your Review.
What program you use to edit
Your videos
Great advice
Whats the mic that you are using
It's in our description.
awesome review..love the Crane 3 lab
I have no doubt the performance of this bad boys. But it's too big to hold for travel vlog, street shoot, vlog of meal in a crowd restaurant.
you can try to buy Weebill Lab . it is tiny and mighty
Well done Chivo, expensive though and it doesn’t even fly lol, regards.
Hahaha true, i wonder if i attach some props...
Do the zoom and focus modules come with the basic package or only with the creators package?
it will be included in creators package

It really looks good but it looks bulky.still i prefer dji ronin s,specially when i travel alone.
Hey man, great review. Where is this amphitheater this park laberint in Barcelona ?
Greek Theater.
Very good idea Pro 👍👍👍👍👍👍😀
2-3 minutes of shooting and stabilizer overheats.
I work with Canon mark 3 on medium and high overheats quickly. Is this normal?
Montjuic!
love from india
a lot of jitter on the footage. was your gimbal broken?
Amazing review!!! Stunning colour grade on the video too. Is this a lut? What kind of grade is it thanks :)
I was thinking the same....the grading is eyecatching. Was this filmed in log or RAW and then graded?
How heavy it feels in hands compared to Moza air 2 or Ronin-s? Is it convenient for travel ?
It more or less feels the same than a ronin or the air 2. After a while you get used to it. We were using the ronin for filming this video and i couldnt really feel a diff. For travel definitely as the box is really thin and the 3lab folds super easy

Hi - have you done a Weebill Lab review - I can't see one so I'm guessing you haven't.
Strange that they couldn't find a more elegant solution to replace those dangling zip ties above the lens.
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.
This gimbal is not target to enthusiasts.
ehr... you get 2 motors for followfocus and for a zoom, controlled all by the gimbal... Try to find such in any other gimbal... I paid the same price for a 'normal' CAME-TV gimbal.
Dont buy one if you cant afford it.
so great~ thanks
Great Gimbal!
Excellent review! I have it and its really awesome
Have fun!! Thanks!
I don't know if it's the user or the gimbal.. but not cinematic stable at all
skip to 1:45 to avoid all the jazzy intros and random chat.

paid three month ago but still no product what is the problem?
Looks really nice!!

Crane3 vs ronin s ?
Hopwfully coming the next days...
To bad the app has a very long latency... 1 second is way to much to even use the follow focus or even to walk around with it....
Footage don’t look like silky smooth somehow.
Good

Is this Calvin Harris?? haha
It is too heavy. the button is doesn't work well at all.
maybe you do the wrong operate. please follow the manual to operate it firstly
cannot get the money back and can not have the gimbal...cheating?
Have someone twitches on this gimbal ?
Unfortunately when it arrived I spent more than 2 hours trying to stabilize the camera and turn on the crane. The gimbal would power on and then shortly after power off (batteries at full charge). After talking with other zhiyun crane owners we realized that it was defective.
Ahh :( sorry for that. We did not have any problem!
It's because you did not balance it right. If you dont get the balance right the motors will work over time and drain the batteries.
1st
love ur supp
The APP dosen't work with Android... so it's a huge downside and not the best gimbal.
