Zhiyun Crane 3S Handheld Tripod

The Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 3S Handheld Stabilizer is a powerful redesign of previous Zhiyun gimbals with the addition of detachable handle options, more powerful motors with a large 14.3 lb payload, an updated shaft lock system, external power input, and ViaTouch 2.0 remote control system. The 55° angled swing axis allows you to adjust your camera without blocking the view, And it's also modular so you can add an included extension arm to fit larger cameras.

The CRANE 3S features an ergonomic, angled handle that provides two-handed operation for optimal stability. The handle allows you to seamlessly switch to low-volume mode, either one-handed or two-handed, and achieve creative shots, such as 330° shots as you zoom in on a subject. It also has numerous advanced features such as remote control of camera recording/stop/shutter using the included cables, an improved zoom and focus system from its predecessor CRANE 3 LAB, and compatibility with the Transmount Image Transmission System available separately for wireless video transmission. It can also accommodate a wide range of chamber sizes using a separately available extension module to extend the horizontal arm.

The 3S has two options for the detachable angled handle. Included is the SmartSling that offers an ergonomic handle with an integrated joystick and control buttons, and the optional EasySling provides a simple and comfortable grip without controls. All the controls you need are provided at your fingertips on top of the main controller along with an OLED status display. The free iOS/Android app Zhiyun provides many of the same control functions, as well as special features such as panorama, focus time-lapse, motion time-lapse, long exposure time-lapse, camera settings, and more.

You can power the 3S with the three included batteries for up to 12 hours. However, if you need extra shooting time, a DC port allows you to plug in an optional battery, such as Transmount PowerPlus, which contains six 18650 batteries, extending your shooting time up to 18 hours. The CRANE 3S can be controlled using the updated ViaTouch 2.0 iOS or Android smartphone app via Bluetooth 5.0 for remote motion control and to manage gimbal settings.

There are nine accessory mounting threads available around the gimbal to add a variety of Transmount or third-party accessories. Another important feature of the gimbal is a redesigned shaft latch lock system that consists of a separate latch lock on each shaft that provides a solid lock in place without excess swaying. This feature allows you to lock the individual shafts to remember their balance positions when turning off the gimbal so you don't have to rebalance for each use.
