    Very cool update on the 3s - I'm glad they are providing more things (like the extender) as a standard - I've struggled with smaller rigs on their other gimbals trying to get clearance. And thanks for offering up the Weebil - that's very generous. I appreciate all you do for the community!

    Hi Mr. Potato! I would love to have your older gimbal....i do CGI and VFX and all the shoots need to be smoth, because its ways easyer to track and compose, and bouncy movements always ruin the shots....unfortunatly i dont have the money currently to buy a gimbal and not having one makes my workflow much harder... i would LOVE to have your gimbal! All the Best!

    @krane15 Před 3 lety +3

    Thanks for the RED test. I was wondering just how much big of a rig it could handle. Don't think I'd go past the 14 though. Just for warranty sake.
    In other news, the best solution if you're going to go full rig is to borrow the weight attachment from the original steady cam. Not only will it add the forth axis of stability, but its been around for 40 years so we already know it works. When all the weight is on your waist, your arms are free to just control movements and no longer need to strain to support the weight.

    • @leer6871
      @leer6871 Před 3 lety

      If you’re talking about the Steadicam Arm that attaches to the vest you’re gonna need some type of converter to make the pin at the end of the arm work.
      Also those arms are pretty expensive plus the vest.

    • @krane15
      @krane15 Před 3 lety

      @@leer6871 They make them. But only the authentic professional versions are hella expensive. There are much less expensive brands for those independent operators outside of Hollywood productions.
      These motorized gimbals are fine but they lack the vertical supression that gives sequences that buttery smooth "floating" movements you see in big box office productions

    • @leer6871
      @leer6871 Před 3 lety

      Krane
      I’m aware, every steadicam operator that I know (including myself) is confident that gimbals can’t replace the natural and fluid feel of a steadicam.
      But gimbals are extremely good for things like car mounts and jibs where the camera is moving and needs to be controlled remotely. Those mounts also allow for built in dampening to reduce vibration.

    • @leer6871
      @leer6871 Před 3 lety

      Krane
      Also Hollywood Professional Gimbal Operators wouldn’t be using a Zhiyun Crane 3s.
      They’d probably be running a Movi Pro or more recently an RS2 on a ReadyRig, a harness with two poles holding straps that supports a ring that the gimbal sits in.
      The poles flex and so does the elastic in the straps which dampens motions.
      I’ve seen that type of stabilization side by side with a Steadicam and it’s pretty close. Steadicam has a different character to the movement but a ReadyRig paired with a high level gimbal is certainly fierce competition

    Gene: "Lets take a look at the new Crane 3s"
    Weebil-s: "Daddy is that you?"
    Crane 3s:"Yes son, I am back and I got the milk"
    Gene:"Give away time"
    Weebil-s:"I am going to miss you daddy"
    Crane 3s"I will too and you will be like me soon"

    If I had the Crane 3s I’d make a Guerrilla quarantine film... I can do it without, but it will have more shaky cam than a Michael Bay movie 🎬😭

    Me three weeks ago, scouring internet for Ronin 1 spare parts and batteries. "Come on, baby. Stay together..."
    Me today: "Zhiyun, you say...."

      Oh god, same. Came back to my Ronin M for the first time in a while, only to find that both batteries jumped off a cliff and I can’t replace them. Very cool.

      Literally me as we speak.. Trying to see if it's worth keeping my Ronin for the new RED, or getting a Zhiyun.
