New SUPER engines, capable of moving equipment weighing up to 6.3 kilos. The Crane 3S has enough power and space for high-volume sets: Canon EOS-1D X, Canon C300, Sony FS7, RED, BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera, etc.
The axis of rotation can be extended by using a part supplied as standard. This modularity makes it possible to accommodate more robust equipment configurations, such as film cameras. If smaller volume bodies are chosen, the extender can be removed to continue using the Crane 3S in its most compact form
Detachable clamping handle, being possible the use of two different options: EasySling, a handle with a rubberized coating to guarantee a better grip and make it easier to take low shots, or SmartSling, which has several controls and an OLED panel to facilitate handling of the gimbal in an intuitive and ergonomic way
The modularity of the Crane 3S, with connectors of different sizes on the termination of the main arm, opens the doors to the use of motorized dollies, cranes, cable cams, Easyrig-type cargo vests, etc.
The renewed fixing system of the three axes guarantees maximum reliability as well as the total absence of movement of the gimbal during transport
Use of three 18650 batteries (the same ones used by the Crane 3 LAB), with a resulting autonomy of up to 12 hours. The Crane 3S is also compatible with the new TransMount PowerPlus Battery Pack power bank (highly recommended if you are going to work with configurations of more than 3 kilos), with capacity for another 6 18650 batteries, extending the autonomy up to a maximum of 18 hours
Direct power port rated up to 25.2 volts
New 9th Instune algorithm provides unprecedented smoothness and responsiveness, even in fast-paced action shots with jerky camera movements
The rotation arm (closest to the camera) is tilted 55 degrees which removes any visual obstruction from the scene. This arrangement provides more space for the camera and makes it possible to use larger equipment.
The Crane 3S has wide compatibility with lenses of different brands, being possible to control the focus from the dial on the main arm and vary the zoom focus with the SmartSling handle (supplied as standard in the 3S and 3S Pro configurations)
The TransMount ecosystem of wireless streaming devices (sold separately or supplied with the 3S Pro) enables 1080p video streaming at 30 frames per second with ultra-low latency to up to three devices simultaneously
In addition to HD streaming, ViaTouch 2.0 technology allows you to control various parameters of the camera (such as zoom or focus) and the gimbal from the screen of an iOS or Android mobile phone.
Zhiyun SmartFollow technology, which allows you to track any subject by selecting it from the mobile phone screen in the easiest and most comfortable way (it is necessary to have the TransMount image transmitter)
The new Sync Motion technology allows the gimbal to be controlled remotely and in real time with the mobile phone’s motion sensors through intuitive gestures (requires the TransMount image transmitter
