I love it in professional videos Accessories

I was worth my money. I see many people complaining about 4K/6K Black Magic Pocket balancing. I balance this and my PXW-FS5 Mark 2 within two minutes. Why do you understand how engine settings work?

Impressive! in camera and photo

Very happy to get this Crane 3s, I've been waiting for this for a long time, the previous version of Weebill s is also a great stabilizer, but the payload is not for a heavier camera , like mine BMPCC POWERFUL MOTOR can easily handle my BMPCC. And CRANE 3S weighs 2.47 kg (5.44 lb), which is 590 g heavier than CRANE 3 LAB. Didn't make my shoot too difficult. Also, I like Amsel best.

Great when it works but serious problems with the motor

I used it for a commercial shoot and after that it worked fine, the tilt motor kept shaking. I've updated the firmware, tried different camera payloads, retuned the engine performance, and watched all the YouTube videos on the subject. Still nothing. Also, the fact that you have to buy the proprietary V-mount battery is a joke for heavier payloads. The fact that you have to ship it to China to have it fixed is just ridiculous. Just the shipping and the time you have to spend getting it repaired
