Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 3S PRO Handheld Stabilizer

With the addition of detachable handle choices, a sizable 14.3 lb payload, an improved axis-locking system, external power input, and the ViaTouch 2.0 motion control system, the CRANE 3S PRO from Zhiyun-Tech is a potent reworking of prior Zhiyun gimbals. Numerous other cutting-edge features found in the CRANE 3S PRO include wireless video transmission, expert zoom and focus controllers, and an extra battery option. By using a separately available extension module to lengthen the horizontal arm, which is now positioned at a 55° angle, it may also accommodate a variety of camera sizes. Up to 14.3 lb of camera weight can be stabilised using the gimbal.

The removable, angled handle of the 3S PRO comes in two configurations. The optional EasySling handle gives a straightforward, comfortable handgrip without controls, while the included SmartSling handle offers an ergonomic handle with an integrated joystick and control buttons. With one or two hands, the grip enables you to effortlessly transition to underslung mode and obtain artistic pictures like 330° roll shots as you approach a subject. An OLED status screen and all the controls you want are located at the top of the main handle. Many of the same control options are available in the free Zhiyun iOS/Android app, along with extras like panorama, focus time-lapse, motion time-lapse, long exposure time-lapse, camera settings, and more.

The supplied Transmount PowerPlus battery pack, which is made up of six 18650 batteries, may be plugged into a DC connection on the 3S PRO if you need more shooting time. The upgraded ViaTouch 2.0 iOS or Android smartphone software may control the CRANE 3S PRO through Bluetooth 5.0 for remote motion control and to modify the gimbal settings. The Transmount Image Transmission System transmitter, which lets you connect your camera, mount it on the gimbal, and broadcast your live camera view to a separately available Transmount receiver, is also included with the 3S PRO.

Around the gimbal, there are nine accessory mounting threads that can be used to attach a variety of Transmount or third-party accessories. The new axis latch lock system, which consists of a separate latch lock on each axis and offers firm locking in place without excessive sway, is another significant feature of the gimbal. When the gimbal is powered off, you can utilise this feature to lock the individual axes to remember your balancing positions so you won't have to rebalance for every use. Additionally, the 3S PRO comes with a smartphone clip that lets you secure your phone while controlling the gimbal's movement.

Please Note: The CRANE 3S PRO doesn't support many third-party 18650 batteries because it requires the slightly shorter kind made by Zhiyun-Tech, so only Zhiyun-Tech 18650 batteries are recommended.

Innovative Gimbal Design

Detachable, angled handle allows for two-handed operation; the SmartSling handle with integrated controls is included, with the choice of the optional EasySling handle, a simplified handle.

Aviation Grade Motors

Featuring more powerful motors and a different gimbal design from the CRANE 3 LAB, the CRANE 3S PRO achieves a greater load capacity of 14.3 lb.

Crafted Latch Design

The CRANE 3S PRO is designed with a locking latch next to each axis for saving the balance positions when powering the gimbal off for storage or battery swaps. When powered back on, the gimbal returns to its balance positions. This way you won't have to rebalance it every time you power it on.

ViaTouch Control System

The ViaTouch 2.0 Control System consists of a variety of controls that come up on the Zhiyun app and allow for framing shots, controlling certain gimbal movements, and adjusting camera settings.
