Zhiyun-Tech CRANE-M3 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer (Standard Kit)

The CRANE-M3 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from Zhiyun-Tech is a compact, lightweight, and stylish accessory for action cameras, cellphones, and compact cameras. You can operate your camera with greater freedom for longer periods of time thanks to the compact design, which is also simple to transport. A sleek white exterior, a 1.22" full-color OLED display, PD quick charge, eight hours of runtime, and an even faster quick release baseplate are among the new features. Additionally, an integrated fill light with colour filters and adjustable colour temperature is included.

The CRANE-M3 has seven modes of operation, including follow, pan-follow, POV, portrait, GO, lock, and Vortex modes, and it may also be manually adjusted if necessary. It offers 360° pan, 309° tilt, and 333° roll rotation. It has a built-in 1150mAh battery that lasts for about eight hours and can be recharged using the USB Type-C connector that is provided. You can also use a power bank to charge the gimbal while using it. The battery level, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi status, and other information are confirmed on the colour OLED display, along with additional functionalities. You can balance the camera and lock the balance position for the utilised camera with the use of scale marks and memory locks.

A Wi-Fi-enabled camera that supports remote zoom, shutter, and video start/stop control can connect to the gimbal over built-in Wi-Fi, or you can use a camera control cable and the USB Type-C connector on the baseplate to power and operate the camera simultaneously. The camera connects to the free ZY Play mobile app for iOS and Android through built-in Bluetooth to provide additional features. The software contains filmmaking tools like time-lapse, panorama, and slow-motion capture in addition to remote control of various gimbal operations. Without using additional lights, you can use the embedded LED light as a fill light for your subject.
