Maintaining the lightweight, portable form factor of its predecessor, the CRANE-M3 S 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from Zhiyun has been upgraded to accommodate cameras with full-frame lenses, as well as action cameras and smartphones. The CRANE-M3 S offers 360° pan, 305 tilt, and 314° roll rotation with optimized axis locking. Take the gimbal on your next adventure and easily control your settings with the 1.22″ color touchscreen, onboard controls, and Bluetooth-powered wireless shutter. A quick release system with two forms of adjustment allows you to easily access your camera’s battery without needing to rebalance your rig. The CRANE-M3 S also features a built-in fill light with a 1000 lux output and adjustable color temperature.
Compact Form Factor, Improved Load Capacity
- With the CRANE-M3 S redesign comes an optimized arm design that expands the gimbal’s camera and lens compatibility. You can still use your smartphone or action camera with separately available mount adapters, but if you’re going for professional video quality, mirrorless cameras with full-frame lenses can also be mounted on the gimbal.
- The gimbal weighs just 1.6 lb, but it is capable of supporting cameras like the Sony a7S III, Nikon Zfc, Canon EOS M50 Mark II, and Canon EOS 200D, all with full-frame lenses attached.
- For a full list of compatible cameras, please see the most current compatibility information on the Zhiyun website page or see the camera compatibility list in PDF format.
Quick Release System
An improved quick release system offers two modes of adjustment. Easily slide your camera on and off the gimbal to mount new accessories or replace its battery without needing to rebalance the rig.
Bluetooth 5.0 Shutter Control
While the included camera control cables offer the option for wired shutter control, avoid complicated cable runs by using the embedded Bluetooth 5.0 shutter control. Wirelessly control your camera’s shutter and toggle recording via the onboard controls and touchscreen.
Brighter Fill Light
Zhiyun’s Lumen Amplifier technology has created a powerful light source built right into your gimbal’s construction. The fill light has a brightness of 1000 lux and adjustable dual color temperature from 2700 to 5500K.
Creative Operation Modes
Selectable from your 1.22″ touchscreen, toggle between four creative filming modes for more dynamic vlog content. Choose between panorama, time-lapse, mono-lapse, and vortex.
Shoot Longer
A built-in 1150mAh battery with a runtime of 7.5 hours allows you to keep shooting a full day of activity. The USB-C charging port supports PD fast charging to get you back up and running in just two hours. You can also charge the gimbal while it’s in use.
