Review on Zhiyun Crane 3S Black Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless DSLR Cinema Cameras, Sony Canon Panasonic Nikon, Blackmagic 6K 4K, Modular Design, Max Payload 6.5kg (Smartsling Handle) by Jamie Behm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy and powerful

Zhiyun Crane 3S can be used with almost any modern DSLR or film camera you can supply. Its torque is more than enough to handle large cameras as well as large zoom and prime lenses. I put as much weight on it as I could and it handled it all, even at the medium torque setting. I don't recommend it for lighter setups as vibration can occur, but if you have one of the larger film cameras you won't find a setup more professional than a Steadicam setup, which costs thousands upon thousands of dollars and requires specialized training. . If you've used gimbals before, you can use this one right away, it's very easy to set up. If you haven't used them, you'll learn very quickly. I also have a Weebill Lab S and it's just as easy to use, just a little more!

Pros
  • EXTENDING AXLE
Cons
  • Newer model could be selected
