  • Outstanding Stabilizer for Vlog and easy to use for small mirrorless camera
The media could not be loaded. I am a photographer who likes to travel, so I like light-weight equipment, which is easy to carry on with my backpack. I usually use Sony A7C as main camera. After using Zhiyun Crane M3 for a long time, I can share a few comments with those who are interested in buying this stabilizer, because there are many different types for clients to choose from on the market. I personally think it feels good to use. Let me start with it's cons. If you are considering to buy Crane M3 even after know it has few cons, if you using small mirror camera with light prime lens, I still think you can accept it. Basically all my lenses are light weight prime lenses. Although Zhiyun Crane M3 recognised as it can afford Full-Frame Camera, but I believe that bigger size camera with lens which over 2 to 3 lb may not fit it on this stabilizer. Honestly, I didn't expect Zhiyun Crane M3 will be much lighter, I like the white color body really attractive to me. It also came with built-in-Dual color LED light, sometime you may need it for low light situation. Also, it has an auto calibration function in the M3, you don't need prefect balance. I really like the controls of it, it has an easy to use touch screen. The control stick and focus ring, they are pretty smooth. I didn't expect it would have such good controls. Compared to the last generation, it has improved a lot. Overall, Zhiyun Crane M3 may not a perfect product, but I can see that more possibilities and development space of a stabilizer. If you do vlog a lot , M3 could be a good option for you. Good luck and enjoy it. ... show more

  • Cable control issue
So first off. I'm a horror content creator. I do filming for a haunted attraction. The gimbal does an amazing job at stabilizing the camera. Especially when the actors give chase to the customers as I'm catching their reactions the footage looks a whole lot better. But I cannot get my Sony ZV-1 to recognize the Crane M3 using the control cable. I've gone through all of the settings on the ZV-1 and had no luck. The gimbals firmware is fully updated. But I would really like to use the cable control so that I can also use the reverse charging. ... show more

  • Sony a6600 camera and Sony E 16-55 f 2.8 G
I am returning this and instead will buy Weebill 3 from Zhyiun Pros of this gimbal: - it looks BEAUTIFUL! The white, the design, specially when it’s on because the Crane M3 logo has a light that turns on - motors are really good. CON: - it is able to balance a Sony a6600 and Sony 10-18mm lens plus a rode microphone on top of the camera. DOES NOT balance a Sony a6600 camera and Sony E 16-55 f 2.8 G (even though the compatibility list from Zhyiun says it does). The issue is: The back arm (where the crane m3 logo is) hits the back of the a6600, and the plate for the balance doesn’t go further back enough that I could balance the a6600 with the 16-55 since there is a lot of weight in the front, making the camera tilt forward. The weebill 3 has a larger space between the back arm and the plate where the camera goes, plus it gives flexibility for larger set ups in case I upgrade my a6600 in the future. ... show more

  • Doesn't work and customer service is awful, never buying a zhiyun product again
The media could not be loaded. Got this product yesterday and I was already struggling to get the device to auto calibrate because I had to go on reddit to find out that I had to press the 'M' button to get the motor stabalizers working (neither the user mannual nor tutorial videos explain this). Once I figured that out, I was able to use the gimbal with success...for about an hour. By the way, it's important to know that all the cameras it says it is "compatible" with are not actuall compatible with the software. This is hidden deep in the fine print and really only works with SOME sony cameras, lucky me I have a Canon m50. So, ESPECIALLY don't get this thinking the software will work with your camera. So I charged it overnight, went to use it again and it automatically read "upgrade" on the screen without me prompting it, and then FAILS IMMEDIATELY AND BECOMES UNUSABLE! The failed screen just stays there until you turn it off and turn it on and the miserable process starts all over again. This would all be bad enough, until you find out that their US customer service number goes straight to voicemail EVERYTIME. And reddit users I've seen complain about these issues through messages, emails, and on their facebook page, have not gotten responses. Even when I try to submit feedback through the app, it freezes the whole app! This is unacceptable customer service on every single level. So perhaps my product is defective but it doesn't even matter anymore, I am so frustrated with this thing at this point I'd rather use it to perform my own colonoscopy than to try to get another one working again. I mean look how long this review is? I wouldn't put this much time into a damn amazon review if I wasn't furious...Full refund, taking my business to DJI. ... show more
