Thanks for having me
Armando, I've been watching your channel since those days when you used to review android phones and OS and other tech stuff. It's amazing to see you cover another one of my own passion too in the last several years, which is filmmaking. People like you are an important viewing. This is the only video I saw about Zhiyun Crane 4 because I don't really need to see any other after this one.
🙌🏽 Appreciate the comment and support.
The stormtrooper X looks so sexy with that Gimbal! Awesome video, and great setup!
Definitely those led lights telling you where the problem is must be a plus! and the load capacity, very impressive, but I will change all that for a KX 😁. Thanks Armando, another great one!
You know what, Amando! You are a great Reviewer, you were the reason I bought Zhiyun Crane 3s, you stress Test it to it's limit, the area were you felt you might not be experienced enough, you called Professionals and experienced friends who excel in those fields, you really gave your viewers an indepth understanding of the the product your are reviewing.
I guess Crane-4 is mostly made for running gun and mostly weddings, light to mid Cinema cameras with light rigging, it doesn't have the Optional extended Arm like Crane 3s, when you mount it on a car rig it has issues, which can be fixed as you said.
I hope Crane 4S should be on the pipe line soon, cause thats what am waiting for, I will only buy it after I see your review of it and no other person, Only you sir.
Thanks for time and effort you put to educate us, it's really appreciated.
I had the same issue with it upside down but running a calibration upside down took care of it
Interesting, I don't remember if we tried to calibrate it upside down or not but I'll give it a go, thanks for the heads up.
Armando hermano! Thank you for a marvelous review. I am convinced! 💛🙏🏽
perfect, this showed me my exact setup. So i can be sure that this gimbal works great with it. cheers.
Gimbal with wireless follow focus option... it would be a killer feature
Thanks Armando!
New gimbals are always interesting, at least since I smashed up my Weebill S a year ago. Damn thing still works (mostly) 😂🎉
Armando Brav i always respect and value ur opinion on these gears, thank you for making another valuable video
Am getting this for sure,, still using my Crane 2
Thanks Armando, great video
Gimbal explained well 👍🏼
Can’t wait to get one 😁😁
I'd be keen to buy it, BUT I also have wireless focus motors that aren't native to this gimbal, so I dunno if it's cross compatible at all. Not a fan of the antennas hanging down like that, but I do like the led lights when unbalanced.
Clean looking setup big man
Thanks Broski
@@mondobytes OSSSSS
Hey boss… I have the red raven and have been using it with the crane 3s for about 2 yrs now. Do u think this will support the red raven? U know crane 3 has that extra extension arm that creates room for bigger cameras. Will it work bro! Pls advice as I wanna buy this right now. Thanks
Shout-out to Latino Heritage and culture!!!! I'm black Cuban Portuguese. Have a daughter who's the same. Alot of that me and her will experience together
Zhiyun keeps their place at second best. The Crane 4 is an iterative update within their own lineup, but it doesn't win over the DJI RS3 Pro which is cheaper where I live and has a way better eco-system of accessories.
It really depends on your usage, the RS3 Pro is bigger and heavier. This is huge especially when you're using a gimbal all day, every ounce makes a difference. Also, at least here in the states the RS3 Pro is more money. Makes no sense to pay more unless you truly need the heavier payload capacity or are using third party accessories. If you don't fall into that category then the Crane 4 is a better buy with lots of extra features that I think as a solo operator are useful.
My understanding is the the Crane 4 can handle more weight than the RS3 Pro. The RS3 Pro load is 4.5kg max, while the Crane 4 is 6kg, so 33% more. Which is crucial for me having an older RED camera that is 6kg with a smaller lens
@@mondobytes Crane 4 is 13lb payload capacity where as the RS3 Pro is 10lb payload capacity.
@@Franckystudios that’s what they say I’ve taken the RS3 PRO beyond 10lbs easily
Which gimbal is more stable? The RS3 Pro or Crane 4?
can i use setup diffrent axis on the pov mode? cuse on the weebille i could not
Love the info! Thank you I wonder what do you prefer Dji RS3 pro or Crane 4?
2 way different gimbals for different jobs. That’s like saying what do you prefer a car or a truck. Well, that depends on what I’m doing.
Hey Armando, would you recommend this gimbal or shall I wait for DJI RS4? It's been a year since the last model, so if you've any update please helpm
Would you recommend this gimbal to make music videos or do you know of something better? Kind of stuck rn
I was user of zyiun cranes but I left it for dji since they are stronger for better
sir the FX3 is not considered a mirrorless camera. Infact there is no need for us to even us that term anymore every camera made is a mirrorless camera now. Great review as always
It's a term used to describe a smaller form factor camera, just like when someone say's I'm "filming a music video" there's no film in the camera, the proper wording would be "I'm recording a music video" but everyone understands the lingo.
@@mondobytes i get it i was just being an ass hat lol
I am a cinematographer in my head and I don't understand whether I should take Crane 4 or Daji Ras 3 please tell me which one is the best
Is there any place to attach an arm to hold an external monitor (like the Crane 3 Lab has) ?
No, there is no 1/4” Threaded Hole like Crane 3 Lab has.
I’m still waiting for a direct comparison between crane 4 and RS3
Hi Armando, how would you rate this 4 against the 3S? Been using the beast of the 3S for sometime flawlessly. This 4 appears to pack alot of muscle in a smaller, functional compact size. In your opinion and experience with the 3S does this 4 out perform it? Thanks in advance 👍🎬 Also are you saying that the 4 is for beginners due to it's ease of use and functionality?
Don't buy either they both have a design flaw if you only make the mistake emphasizing on mistake we all make them and put in the batteries in the wrong direction and press power GIMBAL OVER . WARRANTY OR NOT who wants to deal with that.
I personally like the 3S better, I love having the flexibility of using it with higher payload capacity and also being able to extend the arm to accept larger size cameras. The only benefit you'll have on the 4 is the smaller form factor and weight which if you're using a smaller camera setup maybe the only reason to switch. Yes, the beginner statement was in reference to ease of use.
@@mondobytes ok great and thank you for all the great info you always provide. 👍🎬
We've got two Zhiyun Transmounts receivers that just don't work! I have doubts in their gear long term.
I don't have much experience with their accessories but I will say their gimbals are solid.
Can you balance a Red V Raptor on it? and what to do with the monitor if so?🤔
I don’t own a Raptor, but you can use RED control to have monitor wirelessly
@@mondobytes thanks - that’s a good idea - i own the V Raptor… i’m trying diversify my shots and this maybe the solution. If your ever in South Florida and you want to run another test i’m here
Hola armando, una duda, se puede montar monitor externo? y no vi un boton dedicado para cambiar los modos, cuanto peso puede cargar?, te extraño en tu canal de español
se me olvido preguntar también por la duración de la batería
La carga útil máxima es Canon C70+24-70mm f 2.8.
The RS3 can absolutely handle that payload.
It actually can't even on DJI Website the tested payload is 3kg (6.6lbs) the Komodo X setup I had fully loaded was way heavier than that.
@@mondobytes I put the Canon C500MKII on there no problem
@@frontfoot1035 sure but what lenses, accessories did you use, that makes a huge difference. The C500 MKII is only 3.9lbs so it should be able to handle it. Add a cage, v Mount battery and a heavy cinema lens with Follow Focus system and you’ll see the Ronin fail. That’s why they made the RS3 Pro, because the RS3 wasn’t designed for larger setups. In fact it’s impossible to do the Komodo X setup I did on Crane 4 because the arm on RS3 is way smaller. Trust me I’ve used the RS3 and it’s good for small cameras, if you need anything bigger go with the Pro which at that point you’re paying lots more.
Price ?
Payload ?
Weight of the gimbal ??
Link in description with all that info, I don’t talk about specs, pricing as all that info is on their website.
@@mondobytes 😒😒.. the Pay load is not mentioned.. the price is not mentioned .. looks like they always want to his those details
El transmisor de zhiyun nunca funciona
No es mi favorito, creo qué le falta más funcionamientos.
all thing are gud but one thing, IM LEFT HANDED :((((((((
The accessories should work on either side the mounts are the same so shouldn't be an issue.
First :)
Am I the only one that thinks gimbals have reached their peak?
Other than the light there is nothing really new and they all carry similar payloads now compare to each other
For beginners I find it too expansive.
Another gimbal . No big difference with other gimbals or beter say minor changes.i hope some day someone of them will come up with something really revolutionary. But now i think another gimbal. Nothing special.
Very heavy? Dude I came here just to find out what Very Heavy means? How many pounds can it carry my dude?
Zhiyun does not give a specific payload. It’s all about having the right balance. I’ve seen people use FX6 so this thing can handle a lot of weight so long as the weight distribution is 50/50
@@mondobytes Gimbals do have a specific payload beyond which the arms will snap, especially in higher G environments like on a car mount without a Z axis. Do you know of any youtuber that tests gimbals to failure?
@@kurtnelle That would be a ridiculous test to do because there would be way too many variables and you'd have to break so many gimbals alongside cameras and lenses when it fails to find the ideal threshold of what that number is.
Nobody in their right mind would do such a test, simply put if you're putting a gimbal through high G force environments then you're probably better of using something like the Ronin 2 with dual arms. This gimbal doesn't even have the proper mounts to be used in such situation making it irrelevant.
@@mondobytes It... It wasn't meant to be this serious I just wanted to know if the gimbal would survive being mounted in the back seat of my car with my full camera on it. I've heard from my friends that operate drones that some of the gimbals on those drones get destroyed because of the constant wind buffeting just shaking the thing to bits. This is why the propellers are made to be flexible.
@@kurtnelle 🤣 bro one moment you’re talking about G forces the next you’re asking about it being in a car seat. My dude that’s 2 completely different scenarios. I’ve never seen a gimbal fail from being in a car seat, if it does I’m sure nobody would buy it. Also drone gimbals are way more delicate because they’re only meant to carry the tiny camera that’s already built into it. Any additional stress will make it fail which of course makes sense. Not sure if I answered your question but if your concern is carrying a loaded gimbal with a camera around in your car you have nothing to worry about.
