🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

These reviews indicate that the gimbal, while capable of handling larger cameras, has some operational issues and may require some firmware updates and adjustments to function properly. It has a high strength for holding big and heavy cameras and some customers reported it as well-built and a must-have tool for filmmakers. At the same time, it may need some adjustments to work optimally and has been reported as heavy and a bit bulky to operate.

Pros

  • 📸 Can handle larger cameras
  • 💪 Has a strong build
  • 🎥 Preferred tool for some filmmakers
  • 👍 Works well with minor adjustments

Cons

  • ❗ May require updates and calibrations
  • 🔄 Buttons and wheels may not be programmable
  • 💬 Sync and follow feature in the app may be unreliable
  • 🛠 Some customers reported missing parts

Should I Buy It?

If you are using a larger camera and willing to make the necessary calibrations and modifications, this gimbal could be a good investment. However, if you require a lightweight, easy-to-use gimbal with programmable buttons, you may need to consider alternative options.

    • Forget the ronin. This is what you want.
I run this with the small rig ring and fly my C300 mkii. It can handle the weight and swap lenses without major rebalance. Smooth and quick to learn. A strong solution for a heavy camera package.

    • Very nice gimble but is missing parts
Review Image by Doc Jim Doc Jim
I have put this gimble through it's paces and it works well. Only one problem - the mounting plate dock is supposed to be attached by 4 screws to the gimble and it is held in place by only 3 screws and is missing one as you can see in the picture. Not thrilled.

    • It’s ok.. but sooooo many issues
There’s simply not another mid range gimbal that can handle large cameras, that being said it’s got ALL kinds of problems. Constantly starts shaking out of nowhere, though perfectly balanced. Most other gimbals give you some feedback as to what’s unbalanced, not the crane though. NONE of the wheels or buttons are assignable, which is ridiculous. I have a follow focus so i don’t use the zhihyn accessory, which makes the wheel then totally useless. The reaction time is slow. Though it’s TOTALLY designed for an “under-slung” mode, it barely works when held like this. Pans are jittery and unusable. The app is mediocre at best as the sync follow is unreliable. Overall it can handle larger camera rigs, but I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone really. I use it out of necessity. It needs a major overhaul. ... show more

    • Sturdy and Powerful
Review Image by Las Vegas Filmmaker Las Vegas Filmmaker
The Zhiyun Crane 3S can handle pretty much any modern DSLR or Cinema Camera you can throw at it. It has more than enough torque to handle large cameras AND large zoom and prime lenses. I put as much weight on it as I could and it handled it all even as the medium torque setting. I don't recommend it for lighter setups as you may experience vibrations but if you have one of the big cinema cameras you won't find a more professional setup, aside from a Steadicam rig that costs thousands and thousands of dollars and requires expert training. If you've used gimbals before you can use this one right out of the box its that easy to set up. Ive you haven't used them you will learn very quickly. I also own the Weebill Lab S and this is just as easy to use, just a bit bigger! ... show more

In my country, I am the first to buy and use Zhiyun Crane 1. I Introduced many people to Zhiyun products but I’m a victim of a horrible,tricky service. Guys don’t be a victim. I bought a Crane 3S in the US, travelled with it to Ghana for a project. I got here and it was a dead product they shipped. me. I couldn’t use it for my 30 day project so I resorted to renting for up to 30 days. Just imagine the cost to rent after buying one. The product goes to standby mode when powered and it won’t stay on. I reached out to customer care, no response for over a month and my warranty already expired. Finally when they got back to me, I couldn’t get a refund or change product. They made me try firmware updates which never worked. They now asked me to Ship the product to Hong Kong. I spent $150 on shipping. It came back and still stayed on standby mode when powered. Now I’m let with no option. Zhiyun says my warranty is past ( past because you deliberately refused to respond to me until it expired). 🚫 Such an injustice. I lost my $600 buying the product, $150 on shipping, $170 import duty in Ghana. What an in-justifying lost. #ZhiyunInjustice #deadonarrival #Justice4Hafiz ... show more
