Sturdy and sturdy accessory

When I bought it some of the features didn't work for me and I was never able to fix it. I think they just need to be repaired at the factory. But I will buy it again as soon as there are no problems

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Neutral

Great design, durable materials, does not work

This item had to be returned for a full refund because it would not turn on. Shame as it appears to be made of very durable materials and construction and would have been a great addition to my setup.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Exchange Availability

Very good gimbal but missing parts

I tested this gimbal and it works fine. The only problem is that the docking station needs to be attached to the gimbal with the mounting plate with 4 screws and is only held by 3 screws and one is missing as you can see in the picture. Not amused.

Pros
  • SYNC, VISUALIZED CONTROLS
Cons
  • Big and chunky

It's pretty light

So far pretty good very heavy The only thing I don't like is the small number of cameras compatible with Smart Sling Control but updates are being made but I recommend if You have a smaller mirror, you need to add weight, cage, mic, etc, otherwise it will wobble with a lot of force.

Pros
  • UNLOCKED VIEW
Cons
  • No performance

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…

Pros
  • EXTENDING AXLE
Cons
  • Newer model could be selected
