ZHIYUN Crane 3S Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for DSLR and Camcorder

The new CRANE 3S gimbal stabilizer is designed to provide filmmakers with the perfect blend of high capacity and versatility for a wide range of shooting environments. Building upon the success of the original CRANE 3 LAB, the CRANE 3S offers a range of innovative features to adapt to even the most demanding and unpredictable filming conditions.

At the heart of the CRANE 3S is its modular design, which allows for greater flexibility and compatibility. For larger cinema camera setups, users can attach an extension module to the roll axis, providing more space. Conversely, for smaller DSLR rigs, the extension module can be detached, enhancing portability.

The CRANE 3S is engineered with brand new SUPER motors, enabling a payload capacity of up to 14.3 lbs. This allows it to support a wide range of camera systems, including the RED Dragon 5K cinema camera, Canon EOS 1D, Sony FS and FX series, and many others.

The 55-degree tilted roll axis is carefully designed to provide an unobstructed view, ensuring ample space for mounting large cinema camera setups. Furthermore, the reinvented locking system can securely lock all three axes without any noticeable swinging, offering users the ultimate reliability and peace of mind, whether during travel or storage.

To meet the needs of professional cinematography, the CRANE 3S incorporates a robust zoom and focus system. The focus wheel is equipped with a white board for easy marking of the focus range, and zooming can be achieved synchronously through the SmartSling Handle (sold separately).

Continuous uptime is supported by the PowerPlus feature, which allows for direct charging via a DC-IN port, supporting up to 25.2V input. This ensures uninterrupted shooting sessions.

ZHIYUN recognizes the diverse needs of filmmakers, offering three control options for the CRANE 3S: control from the gimbal itself, from a smartphone, or from a motion sensor controller. The ViaTouch 2.0 feature further bridges the communication between the stabilizer, camera, and monitoring devices, enabling intuitive adjustments of various parameters.

For comprehensive shooting flexibility, the CRANE 3S offers cross-compatibility with a range of accessories, including motorized dollies, jibs, cable cams, and Easyrig systems. The modular design allows users to easily separate the handle and mount various accessories, expanding the creative possibilities.

In summary, the CRANE 3S is a powerhouse of innovation, providing filmmakers with the perfect balance of capacity, versatility, and control to capture their most ambitious visions. With its unparalleled performance and user-friendly features, the CRANE 3S empowers everyone to become a filmmaker.
