Like it's smartphone-specific sibling, the Smooth 5 ( which we reviewed previously), the Crane M3 is also a Red Dot Award 2022 winner for its product design. It also benefits from a built-in light capable of 800-lumen output, which is perfect for those moments where you need just a little more light and don't want to add extra weight by using an external LED panel. You can turn it on by holding down the wheel on the side and then change the brightness by rolling it up or down. The Crane M3 is another great gimbal from Zhiyun. If you're intrigued by its accommodating do-it-all nature, your remaining decision might only be which of the three Kits suits your needs. Sony: A6100, A6300, A6400, A6500, A6600, FX3, ZV-E10, ZV E1, ZV-1, A7R2, A7R3, A7R4, A7R5, A7 S3, A7 S3, A7C, RX100M5/M5A/M6/M7, HX90, A7 The 0.96″ display screen has shortcuts for motion lapse, V mode, etc. The WEEBILL 3S’s control wheel supports the adjustment of parameters, focus motors, and the gimbal axes.

Con su antorcha LED bicolor integrada (de 2.700 a 5.500 grados Kelvin) no habrá toma que se te escape. La luz se controla a través de una práctica rueda que permite modificar su potencia y calidez. New to the CRANE series is the added feature of an interactive 1.22”, full-colour HD interactive touchscreen enabling parameter adjustments to a range of gimbal mode settings (portrait, vortex mode and go-mode) as well as follow speed. The intuitive display panel also indicates camera operational status, connection to the gimbal and battery levels. All in all, the Crane M3S is a really good gimbal. It's not a brand new gimbal and I think that's why it's not called the Crane M4. It's a slightly improved crane M3, so that's why it's called the Crane M3S. Extremadamente compacto y ligero, es ideal para viajes. Con un peso de solo 705 gramos y un tamaño muy reducido, te acompañará a todas partes sin darte cuenta. You can be your whole team.

CRANE-M3S 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer

Zhiyun keeps surging forward, releasing new gimbals and updating existing models at a dizzying pace, although to be fair the compact and DSLR camera market is equally fast-moving. Rather than pushing the limits of a gimbal, it makes more sense as a user to allow the setup more headroom so the motors can operate comfortably - you'll get better video footage that way, courtesy of greater overall stability.

Batería integrada con una autonomía de hasta 7,5 horas y soporte PD de 12 vatios para completar una carga entera en solo 2 horas. Y si necesitas más, sigue grabando con una powerbank mientras el Crane M3S se carga. Pint-sized white pro gimbal comes with hot-swapping capabilities, built-in 800 lumen light and microphone The expansion base for the gimbal (included with the Pro Kit option) has a receiver built-in, which can be paired with the transmitter module for wireless control of cameras via Bluetooth where supported, e.g. to trigger your camera's shutter button.Power Delivery (PD) fast charging means that a full charge takes just two hours, and the maximum battery life is up to 7.5 hours. The gimbal features a revised sling design. Sling mode 2.5 allows for left and right tilt as well as center-of-gravity adjustments to the gimbal handle for improved low-angle shots. You can attach the separately available Extendable Sling Grip to shoot in sling mode or two-handed grip mode. The 1/4″-20 thread at the bottom of the gimbal supports the included tripod accessory. Impromptu low-light shooting is no longer a problem with the CRANE M3. Thanks to its pioneering in-built 800 lumen LED fill light, the stabiliser offers an intense natural lighting solution with full stepless dimming control and temperature settings via a control wheel. Additionally available are magnetic light filter accessories for the LED light, in four different colours. At peak power 6W, the M3s lighting reads are as follows: colour temperature levels: 3000-5400K, brightness: warm light 650-750, white light 850-950, CRI (Colour Rendering Index) 90+. Whether to buy or not is most likely to depend on what camera hardware you already own or are intending to use with the M3. If you can find the right combination, the Crane M3 is a mini marvel. It supports a broad range of shooting options and helps capture excellent, professional, stable footage. Its size is also less obtrusive than a bigger body pro gimbal, which makes the M3 a good choice for holidays, public spaces, reportage and street photography/videography days. It folds down neatly to fit into almost any day bag and doesn't weigh too much (around 700g), so it's comfortable enough to always have with you. Once you have the hang of the balancing process for your camera hardware, you should be able to whip the M3 out and start shooting in a matter of minutes.

(Image credit: Gareth Bevan / Digital Camera World) Zhiyun Crane-M 3S: Build & Handling While this approach has its pros and cons - you don't always need a light source and it's sometimes creatively beneficial to have the light source separate from the camera point of view - most of the time having the M3's small (2cm) but deceptively bright 800-lumen (average) lighting available on demand is undeniably a good thing.

In terms of battery life, the M3S has slightly less battery life compared to the M3. The M3 had 8 hours of battery run time and the M3S has about 7.5 hours. In my opinion, this is not a huge difference as all the other upgrades make up for this slight reduction in battery life. Like the M3, this also takes about 2 hours to charge using PD fast charge. Fill Light

The Bluetooth shutter control on the WEEBILL 3S allows you to wirelessly connect to most mainstream camera models and activate start/stop recording or trigger photo-taking. The Crane M3 also comes with a built-in dual-colour temperature LED fill light directly within the gimbal housing, which typically sits to the right of your camera's lens. Often in the past it's been necessary to have a separate light source, either as an optional accessory or as something entirely standalone and separate from the gimbal. The Smooth 5, for example, can accomodate two magnetic light attachments, available as an add-on for the core gimbal. Sistema de liberación dos en uno. La mejorada placa de liberación rápida facilita los procesos de equilibrado, montaje y desmontaje. Su nuevo diseño permite desmontar la cámara rápidamente para cambiar la batería sin necesidad de volver a calibrar el estabilizador.

If the size of the gimbal handle was kept the same, but the space between the sliding axis was slightly bigger, we would rate the gimbal a lot higher. The fact we couldn't get it to balance as instructed without the rubber viewfinder hitting the gimbal put it down a peg or two. The gimbal features Bluetooth shutter functionality that enables wireless control of zoom and recording without the need for a cable connection. Ahora sin cables!
