I have read that it is better to use a Smallrig half cage because it is hard to place the camera on the center, which will make it hard to assemble the follow focus and zoom motor. What do you think? Have you had problems with the full cage? Thanks!

Were you able to balance the pocket 4K without doing weird tricks or adding parts ? Is the gimbal wide enough for the pocket 4K ? Thanks and great video
I mounted the bmpcc4k to the gimbal directly because the cage I have on the camera has different 1/4 20 threads on the bottom so it allowed me to easily offset the camera to the left by 1/2 inch. Without a cage like that you would need a plate that offsets the camera
Thanks for a very informativ and nice video! I am shooting with bmpcc, and I am using analog lenses and I have an iPhone 7 plus. Which choice do you think will be best for me between DJI Ronin S and Zhiyun Crane 3?
Hi, Tom! Thanks for the video. I have an iphone x and a samsung galaxy I connected them to both phones and I only manage to connect them to the wifi, but I don't get any image on the cell phone. I was thinking maybe it’s not a good HDMI. What brand is your HDMI?
Thanks for these great reviews. The Pocket 4K has been tough to balance on certain gimbals, have you tried balancing the Pocket 4K with full smallrig cage and T5 SSD?
Hi Tom, great review as always !! would you review convergent design apollo in near future? I am looking for the best switching / recording / streaming solution for live sport events.
Hello Tom, thank you for the Video. Quick Suggestion, why not try balancing the gimbal with a bmpcc 4k/6k full rig inclusive of vmounts and monitor? Since the gimbal does claim to be able to carry a full rigged red camera
Thanks for the Review. I wonder if you have any Infos about the moza air X which should be pretty comparable to this one. Especially the hdmi in and the ability to track a subject is a killer feature and would change my workflow drastically but I somewhat like gudsen and prefer the airX which seems to have almost the same feature set adding a pimped thumbcontroller (love it on my aircross). What do you think?
Hi Tom, Cool review. Wondering one thing though! Is that a phone attached to the gimbal and are you using it as an external monitor for BMPCC? Would be great if you could answer... :)
Could you give me tips on how to setup the bmpcc 4k? Which screen and which parameter for the Crane 3 Lab gimbal to have control of the camera. I installed the camera and the cable but I can't control it through the gimbal. I really appreciate it if you can help me.
Hi Tom, love your videos... I got the bmpcc 4k with the commlite speedbooster and the sigma 18-35... Do I need any lens support??? I don't think so but I just wanna be sure:)
@@SteveT__001 I think when you never used a gimbal and you are an freehand shooter you have to practice a lot at the first time. My first shots looks not so bad, but you have always think about the shot twice. Sometimes i realy like to shoot freehand. But the Gimal it self is an amazing thing and it every € or $ worth.
I’ve just bought and installed both the follow focus servo and the zoom servo. When I connect either one of the two, it works fine, but when I connect both at the same time, only the zoom servo works through the handle rocker. The follow focus doesn’t work. The wheel doesn't do anything. I’ve tried in both movie mode and manual mode and I still have the same issue. I have also set the lens to both AF and MF and I still have the same issue. My gimbal is attached to the Sony a7iii with a Sony 24-105 lens. Any advice on what could be wrong here?
Hi. I have a question. I recently bought the Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab. And I have the MASTER PACK but the WEEBILL LAB model. therefore I have a single motor and I want to use it to control the focus. I am having a problem. When I connect the motor to either of the transmitter's two inputs, it just lets me control it from the "zoom" control and not from the "focus wheel" on the gimbal. This is the only video I found where they only use a single motor. You have an idea of how to control it with the "focus control wheel"
Wow! Loved those shots and a great overview of the gimbal. During all this time I was wondering how are you able to monitor BMPCC's video feed on a smartphone? Is there any wire connected or there is some sort of app to do it ..
you connect the camera to the gimbal and then the gimbal creates a WiFi network that you connect to using your phone. Once connected you start up the free Zhiyun app so you can see the video feed.
Hey Tom...you speak about visible jitters at 14.25 can you please elaborate about the values you are assigning to the motor settings? I have tried the preset options as well as custom values but can't seem to get rid of jitters while even doing a slow walk, trying to analyse what I might be doing wrong here. Im using the BMPCC 4k with the Tilta cage (offset to the last 1/4 screw hole closest to battery) and paired it with a Helios 58mm mounted through a Viltrox M4/3 to EF converter.
Hi Tom, been waiting for you to drop a review of this gimbal but it wasn't what I expected. The BMPCC 4K with the Crane 3 is what I want to get but my issues is powering the BMPCC 4K with the Crane 3 like you can do with the Moza air 2. Is it possible to power the BMPCC 4K with the Crane 3 like you cam do on the Moza air 2?
Thank you for this tutorial, I am having problems with my Crane 3 Lab, I've upgraded it to V1.90 and then I attempted to upgrade the Servo Motors (Max & Lite) but there is a Yellow light that continues to blink. Have you experienced this problem or can you offer me any assistance? I can't seem to find a number for tech support in the US for this manufacturer.
The gimbal is great,but my one issue is that i live in a hot climate like the Bahamas and using it outdoors it over heat a bit have you experienced that problem
Hey Tom - Great review. How is the delay on the external monitor? It seems to me youre hand moving was a bit behind, but I wasnt shure, could be the video - Best Regards Rune
it is delayed. not as bad as it shows up in the video but there is still a definite delay. If you are doing normal pan or tilt movement it's okay but for super fast camera moves it might be too slow
Hello. I set the focus to zoom (zoom). After 3 times moving forward backward (moving the front of the lens), there are clicks, extraneous sounds. It feels like the gear of the motor is slipping. Do you have any thoughts, what do you think could be the problem?
Hi Tom can you plz tell me which variable nd filters you use for rokinon or samyang cine lenses....?? i m asking about the perticular this one which i can see in this video....👍
Hi tom, I follow your channel since 2014, congrats for your videos. It's amazing. I just have some problems to setup my bmpcc4k in crane 3 live transmition, could you tell me what I have to do to make the things work? thanks man!
Thanks for the video! I'm having some issue connecting to the app and hoping you might be able to help:) On the ZY Play app I can't find the the Crane 3 Lab in the list. There is an option called "other compatible stabilisers" but it won't connect to it. Was it available on your app when you downloaded it? What is the order of steps you go through to connect? Thanks!
Nice review, you're very honest with your views. I love the color grading on the footage of your wife working that road path may I get the preset please?
Hey, thanks for the comment. I no longer have the project from this video but I color grade using one my free LUTs (plus some tweaking) that you can find on my website tomantosfilms.com/downloads/
@@TomAntos I'm mostly using it for phone recording, but with the possibility to mount a mirrorless if I need to. I do a lot of field recording and being able to just mount my field recorder directly to the gimbal was mostly important to me. Smaller setups are often clunky and need extra grips/counterweights and the creator pack comes with a monopod and camera belt. Probably overkill, but it's mostly used in a home studio anyway. Thanks for your reply!
hello sir I have same crane 3 lab but I cont understanding Phone connect . when I contact gimbal recording camera screen is blank recording plz help me
If you are happy with the current gimbal you have, weather Crane 2 or another then i would say no. I only upgrade when I feel like my current tools are holding me back.
hi i have a question I bought zhiyun crane 3 lab and I have a Canon XA10 camera. Can I connect the zhiyun crane 3 lab remote control cable to my camera to start and stop video recording?
It would appear that zhiyun has completely overlooked the idea of using camcorders with this, even though smaller ones like the XA10 or XF400 may apparently fit (without the XLR holder handle) and are certainly within the weight limit. Only SLRs are listed on the compatible camera lists.
The USB port at the front of the gimbal its just for charging other devices like smartphones... no Firmware update with this port. The only way is with the ZY Play App but Im not able to connect the Crane 3 with the ZY Play App. Wifi & bluetooth turned on but no device are found? Ive tried it with a Samsung s8 and an Aplle Ipad but on both devices it doesent find the Crane 3?
I’ve been using the ronin-m as my go to gimbal lately. I still think they’re one of the best ones for heavier/bigger cameras like my C100 mk2. I have a MOZA air I was using with my DSLR but just can’t seem to get my C100 mk2 balanced on it. Since it’s an older gimbal you can pick them up used on eBay for less than half the price of a new one. I got mine for $485 used, it was missing a couple accessories but I think it was definitely worth it especially since they included a $200 custom fit pelican case with it, I may have just found a really good deal but I saw a lot of similar deals when I was shopping for mine.
Hello, how did you get BMPCC 4K to work with video transmitter? I’ve tried using several different cables, but it can’t seem to detect the camera. Is there an in camera setting that I’m missing? I’ve tried searching through forums, but I couldn’t find any informations about it.
Tom Antos are you on the latest firmware or the Fall update for bmpcc 4K? I notice after the fall update, some of my older tv’s and monitors stop detecting the video output. For some odd reasons, newer monitors and tv can still detect the output, so I don’t think it’s the HDMI issue. Thanks for the response
Tom Antos thanks for the help. After some more snooping around through forums and reviews, my gimbal video transmitter might be the issue. Luckily, I have about a month left to replace it. Nice contents by the way 😃
I'm likely going to get the "weebill" version of this. :). wireless video monitor what?! so dope :). although I do aim to get an external recorder soon so I don't have to transcode.
impossible for me to connect my phone (samsung galaxy s6) connected to Wifi, but after that, not receiving any video :( Oh I see, it's for galaxy s8 minimum
Hi, just wondering where did you find the information about it being Galaxy S8 minimum. I've a Galaxy S7 and can't get image transmission working and that just be the reason. I was on to Zhiyun and they didn't tell me that, they told me I needed an official Zhiyun HDMI cable but I wanted to check before I order one.
Still the footage looks kinda jerky. Or maybe it's the colours and terrible composition that's setting me off. Are you using a Metabones Speedbooster with the 24mm lens? And is it an Ultra or a XL?
as much as i hate to admit it, i received a defective moza air 2, sent it for replacement, its been 3 months since i've been waiting, now i asked for a refund, they reply once per week...
I returned mine once I found out that the US support line was just a voicemail that the company ignores. I received one with a minor defect and thankfully returned it in time for a full refund instead of having to pay myself to send it to China and wait for months like the previous commenter here. I loved the Air 2, but Gudsen is a trash company if you are in the US or really just outside of China at all.
I am about to return my 2nd brand new Moza Air 2 in a weeks time. The 1st one the joystick would stick in the down position. The pan motor on the 2nd one is hurky jerky and the gimbal shut down completely a handful of times using it a few hours yesterday. Balance shows perfect and auto tuned. Goodsen never answered an email I sent 3-4 weeks ago before even purchasing the 1st one, so maybe that was a sign of things to come. I give up, bad QC and customer service with Moza, not trying a 3rd one and moving on.
To anyone thinking about buying this product, if you need to rely on the app, DO NOT BUY THIS.. their app is garbage.. I am seriously considering returning this... this is not addressed in the video.. this video is an advertisement and can not be believed
He does not address the lag on the phone or the problems using the app.. cant take any review seriously if they dont go into this in detail.. you can not pull focus with a smartphone because of the lag.. if you plan on using an 80d, the app with cell phone is useless.. you also cant adjust iso, shutter speed, aperture.. all you can do is press record.. at least that works
Why would I have to talk about something I clearly show in the video. That is why I show the live video feed and me waving my hands so you can clearly see the lag. Yes there is lag. I used the app regardless to monitor my shot and to pull focus but as you can see in all the example shots they are slow moving. If you plan to do fast moving shots the you will need to look at the camera screen or get an expensive wireless video system. Like I say in the video for more info always check out my website. The article I post there had extra info. Thanks for watching.
@@TomAntos in my opinion it wasn't clearly shown, and unless u say it outright, a lot of ppl won't see that and assume the system is working perfectly, which can cost them time and money. Can't remember the last time I visited an off site link from a video review to read a more in depth review either 😅 I do like ur videos a lot though and appreciate all your work u do
@@TomAntos for people who already own this, we know you are hiding facts, we know how the app works in detail and know of its faults of which you do not highlight like a regular reviewer would.. it makes me believe this is an advertisement and I will not want to watch any of your other videos because you lost integrity by misleading in this video.. you can not regain integrity once its lost. You already lost me, I do not care to watch anything else you have ever
Everything I know about filmmaking from color correction to what cameras to buy to how to create a short film how to create a full feature film how to market your film I learned on RUclips without having to pay for a class! Why are you promoting Skillshare they make money out of how many viewers view their lessons they’re just being greedy along with you . Today education has taken a new turn thanks to RUclips anything you want to learn you go to RUclips if you want to learn how to make a silencer or a bom or anything you can go to RUclips you don’t have to pay for classes today! So Skillshare can make their money from viewers not subscriptions to their lessons because anything they have it on RUclips for free so shame on you for getting people like me who view your lessons trying to promote Skillshare just to you can make extra cash
NicoDa1 Wait... so no one can have a their own opinion? Based on what @JayFreeman has seen/heard/read, he’s sticking with what he currently owns. Didn’t realize that was a crime...
NicoDa1 .... I have used both and don’t judge anything by others opinions but my own. They both produce good results , but, the Ronin is a far better built gimbal
Jay Freeman I owned both and stuck with the Crane 3. I am 6’1and weigh about 170 dripping wet. The Cranes shape allows me to hold it much better. I also like that it can handle my EOSR along with the Tamron 24-70G2 much better than the Ronin. Also with the Ronin I had to remember settings as opposed to having dedicated buttons like the crane. The dedicated lcd allows me to change my aperture, etc right from the handle. The Ronin was my first electronic gimbal but after shooting with it I immediately picked up the Weebil lab (sent it back) and then the crane. I could keep going on but I will say that in my humble opinion the Crane works better for me and my scrawny arms.
I have read that it is better to use a Smallrig half cage because it is hard to place the camera on the center, which will make it hard to assemble the follow focus and zoom motor. What do you think? Have you had problems with the full cage? Thanks!

Hello, how did you get BMPCC 4K to work with video transmitter? I’ve tried using several different cables, but it can’t seem to detect the camera. Is there an in camera setting that I’m missing? I’ve tried searching through forums, but I couldn’t find any informations about it.
That is weird. I just plugged in the hdmi cable and didnt have to change any settings
Tom Antos are you on the latest firmware or the Fall update for bmpcc 4K? I notice after the fall update, some of my older tv’s and monitors stop detecting the video output. For some odd reasons, newer monitors and tv can still detect the output, so I don’t think it’s the HDMI issue.
Thanks for the response
@@greenclydefrog last time I updated the camera was in January
Tom Antos thanks for the help. After some more snooping around through forums and reviews, my gimbal video transmitter might be the issue. Luckily, I have about a month left to replace it. Nice contents by the way 😃
do you know if it will work with the tilta cage?
what phone did you use? almost no android phone works with there app.
Why not use the GH5? Would that not allow you to use the Zoom Tom? What lens are you using with the BMPCC4k?
You can use whatever camera you want on the gimbal i just used the bmpcc4k because I prefer it right now from all the smaller compact cameras
But yes you are right with the GH5 you can zoom in and out plus have full control of the camera via the gimbal
Thanks Tom.
How to upgrade it??
I'm likely going to get the "weebill" version of this. :). wireless video monitor what?! so dope :). although I do aim to get an external recorder soon so I don't have to transcode.
That's a pretty nimble gimbal.
Very helpful... thank you!
" You can do face tracking" does this mean that ou can do follow focus? with the app and the motors
No, face tracking will not focus for you. It just points the gimbal at the tracked point
Halo Tom I need this cable
Is it possible to attach an additional Monitor instead a smartphone?
yes
Man, really pretty grade at like 3:28. Doesn't look like most RUclips stuff.
impossible for me to connect my phone (samsung galaxy s6)
connected to Wifi, but after that, not receiving any video :(
Oh I see, it's for galaxy s8 minimum
Hi, just wondering where did you find the information about it being Galaxy S8 minimum. I've a Galaxy S7 and can't get image transmission working and that just be the reason. I was on to Zhiyun and they didn't tell me that, they told me I needed an official Zhiyun HDMI cable but I wanted to check before I order one.
does it can hold 24-105 lens?
it can hold a 70-200
Yo juré que dijiste klk al comienzo del vídeo
Sony a7r2 is not record by gimble but all camera operation is ok, w t d sir
rokinon 24mm cine prime ds
super czapka...:)
Still the footage looks kinda jerky. Or maybe it's the colours and terrible composition that's setting me off. Are you using a Metabones Speedbooster with the 24mm lens? And is it an Ultra or a XL?
Moza air 2 for the win @Tom antos
as much as i hate to admit it, i received a defective moza air 2, sent it for replacement, its been 3 months since i've been waiting, now i asked for a refund, they reply once per week...
I returned mine once I found out that the US support line was just a voicemail that the company ignores. I received one with a minor defect and thankfully returned it in time for a full refund instead of having to pay myself to send it to China and wait for months like the previous commenter here. I loved the Air 2, but Gudsen is a trash company if you are in the US or really just outside of China at all.
I'm with u on that
@@baldwinvp good to know
I am about to return my 2nd brand new Moza Air 2 in a weeks time. The 1st one the joystick would stick in the down position. The pan motor on the 2nd one is hurky jerky and the gimbal shut down completely a handful of times using it a few hours yesterday. Balance shows perfect and auto tuned. Goodsen never answered an email I sent 3-4 weeks ago before even purchasing the 1st one, so maybe that was a sign of things to come. I give up, bad QC and customer service with Moza, not trying a 3rd one and moving on.
To anyone thinking about buying this product, if you need to rely on the app, DO NOT BUY THIS.. their app is garbage.. I am seriously considering returning this... this is not addressed in the video.. this video is an advertisement and can not be believed
Good review. Horrible sound quality. I know it’s a 2 years old video so I hoped you improved
Woow bon courage 🔥💕💯
Pouvez-vous entrer dans le canal?
He does not address the lag on the phone or the problems using the app.. cant take any review seriously if they dont go into this in detail.. you can not pull focus with a smartphone because of the lag.. if you plan on using an 80d, the app with cell phone is useless.. you also cant adjust iso, shutter speed, aperture.. all you can do is press record.. at least that works
yes i have tried the app as well. absolutely useless for pulling focus in real time. the delay is crazy
im surprised this wasnt mentioned as well
Why would I have to talk about something I clearly show in the video. That is why I show the live video feed and me waving my hands so you can clearly see the lag. Yes there is lag. I used the app regardless to monitor my shot and to pull focus but as you can see in all the example shots they are slow moving. If you plan to do fast moving shots the you will need to look at the camera screen or get an expensive wireless video system. Like I say in the video for more info always check out my website. The article I post there had extra info. Thanks for watching.
@@TomAntos in my opinion it wasn't clearly shown, and unless u say it outright, a lot of ppl won't see that and assume the system is working perfectly, which can cost them time and money. Can't remember the last time I visited an off site link from a video review to read a more in depth review either 😅 I do like ur videos a lot though and appreciate all your work u do
@@TomAntos for people who already own this, we know you are hiding facts, we know how the app works in detail and know of its faults of which you do not highlight like a regular reviewer would.. it makes me believe this is an advertisement and I will not want to watch any of your other videos because you lost integrity by misleading in this video.. you can not regain integrity once its lost. You already lost me, I do not care to watch anything else you have ever
Everything I know about filmmaking from color correction to what cameras to buy to how to create a short film how to create a full feature film how to market your film I learned on RUclips without having to pay for a class! Why are you promoting Skillshare they make money out of how many viewers view their lessons they’re just being greedy along with you . Today education has taken a new turn thanks to RUclips anything you want to learn you go to RUclips if you want to learn how to make a silencer or a bom or anything you can go to RUclips you don’t have to pay for classes today! So Skillshare can make their money from viewers not subscriptions to their lessons because anything they have it on RUclips for free so shame on you for getting people like me who view your lessons trying to promote Skillshare just to you can make extra cash
All plastic, cant see the screen and i dont like the design ... you get tired arms quickly
Ill stick with the much better built Ronin S
NicoDa1 Wait... so no one can have a their own opinion? Based on what @JayFreeman has seen/heard/read, he’s sticking with what he currently owns. Didn’t realize that was a crime...
@@Leftha3ndmedia yes it is a crime! Dont do it again or i will call the police
YoungBlaze 😪😂
NicoDa1 .... I have used both and don’t judge anything by others opinions but my own.
They both produce good results , but, the Ronin is a far better built gimbal
Jay Freeman I owned both and stuck with the Crane 3. I am 6’1and weigh about 170 dripping wet. The Cranes shape allows me to hold it much better. I also like that it can handle my EOSR along with the Tamron 24-70G2 much better than the Ronin. Also with the Ronin I had to remember settings as opposed to having dedicated buttons like the crane. The dedicated lcd allows me to change my aperture, etc right from the handle. The Ronin was my first electronic gimbal but after shooting with it I immediately picked up the Weebil lab (sent it back) and then the crane. I could keep going on but I will say that in my humble opinion the Crane works better for me and my scrawny arms.
What do you press for barrel rolls?
