As always, your review was deeply insightful. Thanks!
I purchased the M3 after viewing your video previously.
How are you NOT at a million yet? Keep up the great work. I sub'd a while ago. Take care.
Liked your review. I was really interested in this Gimbal for my new Sony A6700. However the reviews on Amazon have been less than stellar. I'm now undecided.
Just got it. It balance a7iv with sigma 28-70 f2.8 just fine with a little tilt overload. The only concern I have is a locking plate. There is no double safety and you can accidently slide the button to release.
Thanks Arthur. Would you recommend this ZV 1F, I also have an A6400, but mostly for stills. I wanted to use the ZV for video only, and am using the shooting grip, but it just isn't cutting it for stabilization. Portability is a key driver.
The M2S - mine would never level properly - even after 6 axis calibration. After someone with the transmount adapter said they don't have a problem leveling - I got one to at least get it working.. so another $100 towards the M2S.. and finally it levels properly after 6 axis calibration. (And using the motor parameter adjustments wasn't a fix since it would go out of level if you turn it around until it decided to level off again after a few seconds).
Hi Arthur,
Great Video!
I love my M3S!
Do you know if i can buy the quick release system seperately to use it on a tripod
Thomas
Hey I am missing camera mounting screw in my package with this gimbal. Did you receive it?
I wonder if it is possible to use arca swiss plate on this gimbal instead of the original
I mostly want to shoot with my Xperia 1 MK5 and Sony A7C, should I buy this or the M2-S? I like that the M2-S is slightly lighter (500g vs 750), doesn't sound like much, but when traveling it makes a difference. And I also like that the M2-S is physically smaller and less flashy (also cheaper at this point). What do you think? Good idea or bad investment and I'll be missing the M-3S?
Can I use my peak design dual plate or manfrotto plate with this quick release system?
BEST.. absolutely great review!!
Do you know if there is any way to replace the quick release plate in order to have the same one for both the gimbal and tripod?
Nice video!!
solution
bro how is i zve10 m3 type c cable diye record solution
Good morning. A comparison with the DJI RS Mini 3 would be interesting. Regards
Is this better than rs3 mini?
thanks for the video, but I wanted to ask you if it is possible to control the zoom on the camera through the m3s stabilizer, as it was possible to do it on crane 2? I still use the second version precisely because I can control the zoom and shutter on the camera. thanks for the answer
It can control the zoom. But you need to check the compatibility list. Not all camera support this function. zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230518/1684378348105-ipk8mjiw.pdf
Good New set in the back
Hello! Could you please help me? going crazy with the crane m3s. I connected my sony zv1 with my new gimbal crane m3s by using bluetooth. Even though it's connected to the gimbal, I can't control my camera with it. What can I do? Thanks
Make sure that you select "PC Remote" for your camera's "USB Connection"
We missed talking about one of the most important things today, recording vertically, where the trend today is just to record vertically for content creation, I’ll have to look in another review.
I plan to use it with the zv e1 and the samyang v-af cine lenses. Do u think that'd be a good setup?
You can refer the camera lens combination compatibility list：zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230725/1690274300318-PGCQ6rRh.pdf
Great vid. How is the weight compared to the M3?
The official: M3≈ 735g ; M3S-705g. But the axis arm of M3S is longer than the Crane M3.😯
Bro, I want to buy a new Gimbal.
Which one will you suggest?
1. Crane M3S
2. Weebill 3
3. DJI RS3 Mini
I am using Sony ZV-E10 with Viltrox 13mm f1.4
I think the weebill 3 will be the smoothest, but i dont have experience with the RS3.
all functions work after connecting the bluetooth on fx30 ?
You can refer this list show the related support function: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20240329/1711678714193-Y8kNsHf2.pdf
Is it possible to use E-ZOOM with a sony camera on this gimble with bluetooth?
No, it not support E-ZOOM， you can refer the compatible list: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230817/1692254773481-wdpd4ba4.pdf
Great video! Do you think FX30 + Sigma 16mm 1.4 may be good on it?
Yes it will be good. But a larger gimbal will always be a little smoother.
How smooth is the FX30 with sigma 18-50 or Sony 11 f1.8 likely to be? Larger gimbal not possible for full time travel. Thanks
Can it banlance with sony a6400 with 18-105 f4 lens? Or sigma 16mm f1.4?
the camera is in the list of Crane M3 but the lens are not. zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230518/1684404788732-tb4xHYyY.pdf
6:38 when you walk its heavy setup.. i think if u want use compact,a6000 series , action cam and phone. thats it..but not much more
Hi! could i use this gimbal with a sony zv e10 and a sony 18-105 f4 and have it work fine?
The camera is in the list but the lens maybe a little heavy. zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230510/1683689338371-KY8RBwis.pdf
thank you so much. That's right, although I see in that list that it includes lenses like the "Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD" which is more or less of the same dimensions and heavier. and it does not include the "sony 10-20 f4" and it does include the "sony 10-18 f4".
Dude I'm really stuck between weebill 3s and crane m3s. Since I'm low un budget and I also have a small camera (zve-10) and shoot with my ohone from time to time too, i wanted to buy the m3s, but most of my videos are vertical and they all say the m3s is not that good for using in vertical mode. However, It seems using the vertical mode on m3s is more convenient since it doesn't need rebalancing. Can you help me make my mind please?
(Another question, if I buy the standard version of the m3s, can i add a normal phone mount to it? Or it has to be it's own mount?
Crane M3S not support vertical mount, but it with the Portrait mode to support camera vertical shooting. About the phone holder, it seems that it need to purchase the combo package to get the phone holder.
@@HellenLee-yz2oj Thanks. I bought the Weebill 3s and guess what? I found out that I can even install a regular phone mount on it and use it for my phone too. 😄
@@madmamad1 Cool.
I know that might be simple question, but how to position your face in the frame, so that it is always properly positioned while walking and vlogging? I tried to vlog on GO mode and follow mode and it is hard to olways keep face in good frame...I use sony Zv1, and have set up auto focus on Sony etc. The zhiyun crane m3s app does not have tracking mode...
@@HellenLee-yz2oj where can I find this in m3s? I do not see it
Crane M3S don't have the object function in the app.
M3S or Scorp mini for sony a6600 and sigma trio, tamron 11-20?
Here's the compatibility list of the Crane M3S:zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230630/1688091162490-RQR8ajNK.pdf
Can the Bluetooth control zoom???????????
Please, Ive looked at multiple videos trying to find out
I don’t have any power zoom lenses so I can’t tell you at the moment.
@@ArthurR Thanks, what about clear image zoom?
Hi, I have a Sony A7III with tamrom 28-75 F2.8, probably will not support, right? Total weight: 1.16kg
It will, but not for long. I wouldn’t recommend it for that setup. Weebill 3S will do it with ease.
@@ArthurR I was thinking of the m3s because it is hybrid, and can also be used with the phone. I will have to buy another lens.
Do you think this can balance my zv-e10 with a tamron 28-75
zv-e10 with the lens Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 is in the compatibility list.
May i ask, is this gimbal suit for my A6000l?
Yes.
Hello. Can it work with A7C + 16-35gm ? Thx
Yes, it can work.
if i have a canon m50 with a viltrox af 23 1.4m do you reccomed me this one the m3 or m2s?
Crane M2S, as Canon M50 in the compatible list of crane M2S which support video control, but the lens is not in the compatibl list, you may refer manufacture web compatibl list.
@@HellenLee-yz2oj sad. Do you have any alternative for me?
My M3 isn't charging my Sony ZV 1. I have the correct cable connecting the camera to the M3. I can start and stop recording using the M3, but for some reason, the M3 is not charging the camera. Must be a settings issue? I've tried a couple of different settings, but no luck yet. Suggestions? We are going to Europe soon and I'd like the gimbal charging the camera so I don't have to change batteries every half hour.
Make sure that you open the power output on the gimbal menu setting.
@@HellenLee-yz2oj That was it! The M3 is charging the camera now. I've attached a power pack to the gimbal so the power pack is charging the gimbal while the gimbal is charging the camera. I should be able to record all day if I want to. Thanks.
Nice! thinking to use it with fujifilm + viltrox 75mm. Can it?
You can refer this compatible list: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230725/1690274300318-PGCQ6rRh.pdf
Do You usually remove camera strap when putting on gimbal?
Does it work out with sony fx30 and sigma 30 f. 1.4?
You can refer this compatible list: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20231012/1697103774126-6Cjjxn4M.pdf
Is its stabilization the same as the webill 3s?
I think these two gimbals are for different size cameras. Crane M3S is much more lightweight. Also, we can not compare the stabilization between them. Choose the one more suitable for your device. 😊
Will it work with a7iii+samyang 24-70 f2.8?
samyang 24-70 f2.8 doesn't on the compatibility list,zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230510/1683689338371-KY8RBwis.pdf so I think M3S doesn't support, Weebill 3S should be.
how does it behave with the 6400?
6400 is in the compatibility list and you can check the function here::zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230625/1687662471830-hRzQJzPM.pdf
Sir will it fix on a canon r 50 ?
Yes, it compatible with Canon EOS R50.
Is object tracking possible ?
Crane M3S doesn't support object tracking.
I guess this is how the model counter DJI RS mini 3
if i were to use sony fx-30 with 16mm lens will it handle the camera?
Maybe you can refer this mounting list: zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230725/1690274300318-PGCQ6rRh.pdf If it has a similar weight and length to the other lenses on the compatibility list, it should be possible to install a balance.

Some how I got it from Amazon for $269...
Dear sir,

आपका वीडियो बहुत अच्छा लगा।❤❤ आपका explain करना मुझे बहुत ही पसंद आया l 👍👍
I haven't see a gimbal with good phone apps. All of them have bad app store reivews
Surprise many reviewers aren’t talking about the ease of vertical filming when that’s such a big thing now
I can’t get the portrait mode to work right at all
I got the FX30 so this is not for me!
It def works and is compact. I use fx30 with 10-20 f4, 18-105 f4, and viltrox 13 on crame m3
Fx30 = the midget of cinema cameras
