Zhiyun Crane 3S Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless DSLR Cinema Cameras

CRANE 3S, the legendary gimbal built on a heritage of innovation with brand new modular design, which aims for wider application and intuitive control, is now introduced by ZHIYUN. Bearing filmmakers in mind, ZHIYUN felt it can be even better to adapt to strict and unpredictable filming environment than the original CRANE 3 LAB, the first generation of gimbal with built-in image transmission.

From intense chasing shoot to studio filming, different types of shooting environment require both high capacity and flexibility of shooting equipment. CRANE 3S is constructed with brand new SUPER motors which allow for 6.5kg payload for a wide range of camera setup including Canon EOS 1DX, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras, and even Canon Cinema EOS, Sony FS & FX series, and Red Digital Cinema Cameras.

The properly 55° tilted roll axis is designed for unblocked view and allows enough space to mount large cinema camera combos. For larger cinema camera combos, users can attach an extension module onto roll axis for more space, while for smaller DSLR combos, the extension module can be detached for greater portability.

CRANE 3S adopts Manfrotto quick release plate which allows seamless transition between different equipment. The upgraded locking system simplifies the setup and balancing workflow. ViaTouch 2.0 bridges the communication gap between your stabilizer, camera and monitoring devices via a dedicated phone app, allowing you to intuitively adjust various camera and gimbal parameters with perfect synergy.

For the first time in the industry, a visualized remote motion control system is introduced - ViaTouch 2.0. Filmmakers will be able to motion control the gimbal while monitor shots via smartphones or monitors. Besides battery insertion, CRANE 3S offers a DC-IN port which supports up to 25.2V input for direct charging.

CRANE 3S comes with a TransMount SmartSling Handle, while CRANE 3S-E comes with a TransMount EasySling Handle. For camera and lens compatibility, please check the compatibility list before purchasing. The control features of TransMount SmartSling Handle may vary on different cameras, so refer to the Compatibility List.
