Excellent Vendor and Product!
I recently purchased the Zhiyun Crane M3S, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The vendor was incredibly professional, providing prompt shipping and excellent customer service throughout the process.The gimbal itself is a game-changer. It’s well-built, easy to use, and offers superb stabilization for my mirrorless camera. The all-in-one design is both compact and versatile, making it perfect for on-the-go filming. Whether you’re a professional videographer or an enthusiast, this gimbal will exceed your expectations.Highly recommend both the product and the vendor!

Perfect balance right out of the box on sony a6500
Love this for the fact that balancing took less than 45 seconds. I used a Sony A6500 and it balanced it right away.The options on this are just incredible, not only is there an action button on the back, but theres also a dial! Normally these are side mounted etc, but ive found myself loving the back dial and not needing a 2nd hand to utilize it.The options and app are all pretty standard, but the overall construction of this is much better also. Arms are made from aluminum and not plastic. Storage and size are small for the weight it can handle. This is defiantly becoming my goto for the crop sensor camera.

Won’t handle a full frame DSLR
Even though their website say it can handle the A7R III, it won’t. I couldn’t even get it to balance with a small prime lens much less a zoom. This gimbal may be ok for small APS-C or 4/3 cameras with small lens but for anything larger I would get the Weebill 3E instead. What is interesting is that the Weebill 3E is actually cheaper.

False advertise again
I had a previous version and returned it because of qr plate basically a nightmare to operate with Panasonic GH5/6 series cameras and they advertised a Bluetooth remote shutter function. Didn’t worked then not working now. I got a gimbal FW updated throug ZY Play to a latest 1.74 version. And it did not work. So here on photo from left to right GH5 GH5II GH6. All rested. 👎 They have those listed on the website though as supported

This is a very well reviewed gimbal but I did not like it. I’m using an iPhone 13 Pro, anamorphic lens and variable nd filters. It takes the weight just fine. But I find the handle is too short for my grip and trigger button does not sit under my index finger so it’s awkward to use comfortably. The arms are on the short side and it won’t lock flat and closed when not in use without moving the balance points and then you have to rebalance. I found the arm with the quick release mechanism awkward to use and hard to get it to lock square to the axis. It would do it but it took a few attempts. The big negative for me is that the shutter button does not work with third party apps and is very small. And I tried to connect it as a phone gimbal in the app but the software would not recognize it. The build quality is good and it’s more compact than I expected. I ended up with the Feiyutech Scorp Mini. It’s a little bigger than this one but I like the ergonomics much better and the shutter button works to control Filmic Pro and other apps. And it’s less expensive.

Brilliant best compact on the market, only thing i wish there was an option in black. Not too hard to balance but had to watch a youtube video to help out with the balancing of the camera

Después de varias pruebas solamente puedo decir que no me ha dejado de sorprender.El Crane M3 es un gimbal de 3 ejes muy estable ante todo tipo de movimientos (incluso baches y saltos), el software es bastante intuitivo y el diseño muy ergonómico, por l que una vez te adaptas al menú y la distribución de los botones es fácil de manejar. Además es multidispositivo por lo que sirve para una cámara compacta, de acción, y hasta con el móvil (aunque necesita un adaptador que no está incluido). Viene con una pantalla táctil de unos 2,5cm x 2,5cm (1,2″) que facilita mucho el tema de los ajustes y el centrado.Puede operarse al 100% con un sola mano por lo que ofrece bastante libertad para utilizar la otra dando indicaciones o utilizando algún dispositivo de iluminación.Resumiendo: aunque inicialmente pueda parecer caro, merece la pena el dinero que vale.
