Review on Zhiyun TransMount Servo Zoom/Focus Controller CMF-06: Perfect for Zhiyun Weebill/Weebill-S/Crane 2S/3/3S Gimbal Stabilizer LAB by Melissa Brown

This will NOT work with Crane 3S. Not exactly

I was very worried that this is not compatible with Zhiyun Crane 3S, but it is not. Not the way it should be. This is the "MAX" version that allows the image to be enlarged. It's larger because it usually takes more torque to pull the zoom out. When connected to the Crane 3S, the gimbal will recognize the motor as a "zoom" motor. This means you can never use this with the focus wheel. It works with the rocking zoom (TW) on the Smart Sling, but it's too slow to focus. You will never feel the hand pull. If you don't have the Smart Sling version, you're SOL. It's not listed anywhere! And it wasn't easy to get support from Zhiyun! Your website and system are sooooo missing! Also, they sell the "MAKS" engine itself. But they do NOT sell the smaller engine designed for "LITE" alone. They only sell it together with the MAX. So I have to spend 150€ more for a set. And now I'm going to have 2 MAX motors because it took me over a month to figure it all out so kill your time. It sucks for me so be careful if you want to use it with Crane 3S.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • -
