Armando, I was battling with which gimbal to invest in, the Crane-3 or Ronin-S. You, my friend, have just put the nail in the coffin. Absolutely, the best review on YT. Thank you!!!
My only gripe with the Zhiyun Gimbals is I have yet to see one with decent inertial compensation. I’m a figure skater who films with gimbals and going around curves causes so much roll. The Ronin gimbals have this less, and the Movi has none. I prefer the smoothness of the Crane, but it’s no good for filming at speeds faster than walking.
@@OnIcePerspectives DJI have GPS modules for some of their units to help prevent this movement although it's mode designed for car movement, not sure if it works for figure skating.
This may sound odd but I believe you should have kept the sensitivity of the motors on Mid-high or high for the front mounting shots. I think your footage would have been a bit smoother. Just a thought. Try it to see what the results are next time. Rear-mounted shots were silky smooth. Awesome!
Refreshing to see content that isn't driven toward current political issues. It's a great escape from all that. I appreciate your work on review. Great work Armando.
Just purchased and test it in the simplest way as hand held gimbal whit a sony fs7, viewfinder and canon 24-105 whit metabones. Needs some test before find a proper setup but it works really good. There’s only a limit... your arms! Used for long shots it becames so heavy to hand held. I ve shoot some tai-ci figures, kinda 3 minutes long and I was death. The old rule “right equipment for right purpose” will never die, but it s a real nice piece of gear. (Avoid the zhyiun motors if possible, they’re crap!)
Great footage and a testament to Zhiyun on their gimbal. Why don't you mount the phone in portrait at the side of your monitor until they resolves the software issue?
@armando great test and detailed analysis. Though I feel like the horizon is off in almost every shot and you didn’t mention it. What caused this? Is there a solution?
Where do I find that mounting arm at 1:21. He uses a 1/4 20 bolt and some mounting arm to secure the Crane 3s to the isolator. What is the name of that mounting arm, and where can i buy one?
hey guys great video…ive got a question…when balancing the gimbal o a crane or car rig do you balance it upside down or before you place it on the crane ir rig? Thank you
I use a ronin 2 and blackarm setup for my motorcycle reviews and I gotta say this little gimbal is impressive as hell. If they came out with an actual controller you could buy, I would 100% buy one of these as a backup gimbal. Nice video!
hey guys great video…ive got a question…when balancing the gimbal o a crane or car rig do you balance it upside down or before you place it on the crane ir rig? Thank you
I shoot on Sony a cameras and got this for the very reason that it gives me a choice to get a bigger rig later and not have to worry about buying another gimbal. Great video!!
Talking about the jeep around 3:20. You mentioned it having “stiff” suspension and a lot of body roll. Rigs built for offroad usually have very soft suspension and no sway bar, which causes a lot of body roll. So part of it was correct. Stiff suspension wouldn’t allow for much body roll.
If you go close to 3kg or have an unsymmetrical cam like the bmpcc 4k/6k the gimbal starts wobbling in underslung. Than you have to buy the battery pack plus for 200€, because battery are not included, to fix this issue.
Dude, love the lighting and dark-ish grade you did for the talking head spots here. And those shots of you guys driving a rigged-out Jeep on a normal street with normal people... epic. 😎👍
Hey. Tell me, did you like the Crane 3S stabilizer? When I used the Crane 3S stabilizer and the Blackmagic 6K video camera, the video picture was smooth, did not twitch? Do you like the operation of the Crane 3S with the Blackmagic 6K? I also ordered a Crane 3S stabilizer.
What camera they use for live like miss universe 2015? the camera is attach to the body like a backpack but in front. It is not shaking at all when they capture a lady walking. 360 turnaround.
Armando, next time you guy's can put a mesh placed in front or back of the car and under the camera, in case you drop the camera, I mean. Nice video men! 👍
The gimbal is amazing but the wireless control options are terrible. There really needs to be an option for control of all axis with a PWM radio control or a wireless control unit with proper joysticks. None of this mini flat joysticks crap. This is the only major flaw with this overall beautiful system.
Yo nececito ayuda, tengo la grua 3s pero me da mucho problema de vibración. Ya la he equilibrado lo mas que se puede Ya le di fuerza a los motores y me sigue dando problemas
Thanks for this test. Damn awesome. I own Crane 3s and love using it, mainly using with the Pocket and UMP G2. My setups have never been close to the car rig you used so I am really curious and would like to see more shots you took with this setup. Are you going to put more from this shooting on RUclips?
Great video. Ive been looking for a gimbal that had clearance for my Canon 405 and the C-200. One thing ive noticed was the focus. When you used the dual pixel auto focus it was spot on. When you went to manual focus and you watched the motorcycle headlight, it went in and out of focus as it neared the camera. I think id rely on the auto focus a bit more often. Great job on this review.
very bad marketing advertising the 3S of holding payloads up to 6,5kg. above 3kg you need the seperate powerpack to make it work. it's not a firmware issue.
I realize your comment was a year ago, but this is not true. I use my 3s at 6-7kg with no problems (other than too heavy to handhold). Initially it gave shakes. Then we got a firmware update and everything suddenly worked great. Not sure if you also had improvement, but I don't use the power pack, and I actually don't understand how that could improve motor performance. It was a firmware issue. My 2c
Amazing video! I shoot lots of car videos and this looks like an amazing setup. Question for you Armando, with the first setup (EF Glass) were you controlling AF at all or just leaving it up to the camera and monitoring. If you were controlling an AF point, how did you do it?
The problem is there is no compensation for the accelerometer when you are taking a corner. Unlike DJI they don't have a GPS unit to help compensate so the footage ends up "leaning" around corners.

VAMOS!!!!! Yo no sabia que tenéis un canal en español bro. You are the best!!!!
😮😮😮😮
Really having trouble balancing the crane 3 with gh5 camera need some guidance
Armando hasta ahora encuentro tu canal! simplemente bien logrado! excelente la forma en que explicas todo sin omitir calidad .
Armando, I was battling with which gimbal to invest in, the Crane-3 or Ronin-S. You, my friend, have just put the nail in the coffin. Absolutely, the best review on YT. Thank you!!!
Haha you were looking to him for the answer... “ok” 😂😂
“I would consider him a an expert”
How to be a dick :)
@@axlerod6663 i think yes look How he answer when he know thats for youtube ....
I ordered one of these last week and definitely plan to use it on a similar black arm set up on a car. Glad to see it works!
Man i love your charismatic.. I'm never meet you but i think you're such a humble guy and the way you explain so easy understand.
Appreciate the kind words 🙏🏽
Wow man, really enjoyed watching your video, and gimbal looks perfect for our cine cameras. Thank you for this beautiful video, great job 👌🏻 !
Still bro...muchas gracias Amazing production value...raising the bar for all future gimbal reviews to a whole new level of mobility
I LIKE. 👍
congratulations. i'm brazilian i'm working on an independent project and i loved your work!
My previous comment aside, thanks for the awesome video!
Epic video Mondo!
Don't we have a horizon issue on the images? Clearly missing more footage to be complet
I noticed that also. At 4:18 the horizon is rotated about 40 degrees counterclockwise.
My only gripe with the Zhiyun Gimbals is I have yet to see one with decent inertial compensation. I’m a figure skater who films with gimbals and going around curves causes so much roll. The Ronin gimbals have this less, and the Movi has none. I prefer the smoothness of the Crane, but it’s no good for filming at speeds faster than walking.
@@OnIcePerspectives DJI have GPS modules for some of their units to help prevent this movement although it's mode designed for car movement, not sure if it works for figure skating.
@@OnIcePerspectives Does it have to be the MOVI Pro or do the m10's and m15's also have extremely good performance at higher speeds?
Well done video, I will definitely purchase the crane 3 base on this video, and some other equipment as well thank you ....well done

It would get in the way of the handles.
What gimble mode was used? Lock, Pan Follow, Or Follow? I'm having issues on twisty roads getting the gimble to stay focused on my subject
@armando great test and detailed analysis. Though I feel like the horizon is off in almost every shot and you didn’t mention it. What caused this? Is there a solution?
Keep going Armando ✌️💯
Great content
nice bro
Hi Armando could you do a step by step guide on how to mount a gimbal onto a car
What mode was the gimbal in for this? Lock? Pan Follow?
PF
looks very nice, the only thing I would do is correct the roll axis, as you can see in the video, it wasn't balanced perfectly. very impressive still.
Jon Ravid it was balanced correctly that has to do with us moving the controller and not re-centering it
Armando Ferreira so if If you set it centered does it keep it centered perfectly? If when the car turns?
Where do I find that mounting arm at 1:21. He uses a 1/4 20 bolt and some mounting arm to secure the Crane 3s to the isolator.
What is the name of that mounting arm, and where can i buy one?
💪🏻
You can use the 8000 saved on a ronin 2 and buy that Blackarm hahah
This exactly why I prefer the Canon C500mkll over the Sony FX9. Don't think the Sony can strip down like the Canon
Couldnt you have mounted the phone 90 degrees ?
Your friend was like.... Ok .. Ok ... Ok.... Ok..... Was he High or Something...???
🇧🇷✌️
What lake was this shot at?
queefreak Lake Gregory
@@mondobytes Ahh.. Crestline! I'm in L.A. and it's been a while since I've hit Crestline. Overdue. And..just took delivery of my C500mkll
now............how in the hell can i hold this with my arms, its heavy lol
EasyRig
stress out with that much hanging on the jeep
This is more about the Blackarm than is it about the gimbal.
Exactly. Click bait.
This was such a fun day! Thanks for having me out there with you guys! :)
Keep up the good work...i watch your vids every now and then. @Adroit000
Ok
Sick video! Glad I could help out with my jeep!!

They do have a controller.
I'm here because the Jeep Wrangler haha .... Nice video
So sick man, imma have to figure out a way to do a similar rig on my jeep
Buy this gimbal and give an honest review please
I really enjoy these kind of videos of you!
Beautiful footage guys. That bike roll THO!!! Really nice in-depth review.
Everything about this video is so good, Armando! Fantastic review. Already planning to get my Crane 3S.
Payload and pricing is very nice but the horizon seems to be off almost all the time. Wouldnt happen with R2 or Movi Pro (on Maniac Mode)
Awesome video! I liked seeing the behind the scenes bits on how everything was rigged up and how it worked.
Really very impressed How Armando Keep improving like rocket 🚀 from one video to another... Visuals are going far more professional.
The baddest test of the gimbal on YT.

Where the hell are the safety tethers? Don't try to pull this on a union set. Dyneema lines at least.
🤫
Armando Ferreira sounds like you value your crews safety a lot 🤷🏼♂️
Glad someone else noticed this non-sense, Fred 👊🏻
excellent work congratulations

What you must have spent thousands of dollars on renting the gear...did Zhiyun even reimburse you folks....?
These are all friends of mine, we all wanted to see this test.
Fantastic ❌🚫😈❌🚫😈❌🚫😈
Hey, heard there are allot of issues with this gimbal in undersling mode. Did you experience those?
If you go close to 3kg or have an unsymmetrical cam like the bmpcc 4k/6k the gimbal starts wobbling in underslung. Than you have to buy the battery pack plus for 200€, because battery are not included, to fix this issue.
He talks about it in the video towards the end.
armando: I would consider him an expert in his field
expert in his field: mmm... yeah... ok... yeah... ok... ok... mm... yeah... ok...
NOW .. I want to rig it up to a vehicle. Thanks Armando .. I didn’t know I really wanted to do that, but I do. Too cool.
Aaa cool I'll ask my key grip how we did that. I came on set they already had it mounted on the black arm.
How did you end up controlling the record/zoom/autofocus settings while on the gimbal?
Autofocus? These are manual lenses, we used a follow focus
Dude, love the lighting and dark-ish grade you did for the talking head spots here. And those shots of you guys driving a rigged-out Jeep on a normal street with normal people... epic. 😎👍
dude im curious to mount crane 3s pro to isolator plate and attached to Arm RIg.
cz im try to find alternative of tilta hydra alien.
oh man, this was amaaazing!
Hey. Tell me, did you like the Crane 3S stabilizer? When I used the Crane 3S stabilizer and the Blackmagic 6K video camera, the video picture was smooth, did not twitch? Do you like the operation of the Crane 3S with the Blackmagic 6K? I also ordered a Crane 3S stabilizer.
Crane 3S: so you put this, on $8,075.00... That's kinda click bait, for me, guys... Are you kidding me with this title?
Thanks for a great video Armando! I just got a C300 and my old Ronin-s is probably not going to work. Love the extension arm for bodies with the EVF.
That's flowcine blackarm 3 axis stabilization roll , tilt and vertical. Plus the tranquilizer it an anti vibration mount
what would you recommend the crane three or the Weibel s?
Depends on what camera and what you’re doing
Thank you for putting your baby on the line so that we could see these demos! Great stuff.
What camera they use for live like miss universe 2015? the camera is attach to the body like a backpack but in front. It is not shaking at all when they capture a lady walking. 360 turnaround.

Hello, I have a question :D when you are filming with this setup do you have to request a permit? or police support? Thank you.
those 4 springs on the blackarm is totally useless with that payload
I’m loving it so far. Gets heavy. But good ole push ups helps
"i think its smart to start off low and then go heavy"..... that response he gave felt very "you fuckin idiot" vibes haha
Yo nececito ayuda, tengo la grua 3s pero me da mucho problema de vibración. Ya la he equilibrado lo mas que se puede
Ya le di fuerza a los motores y me sigue dando problemas
Which gimbal mode did you use for car shooting? Have you issues with loosing direction after turns on crossroads?
Thanks for this test. Damn awesome.
I own Crane 3s and love using it, mainly using with the Pocket and UMP G2. My setups have never been close to the car rig you used so I am really curious and would like to see more shots you took with this setup. Are you going to put more from this shooting on RUclips?
You should post the bike footage by its self
hi there... what camera did u guys used... on this video... yes the behind of scenes ,,, with thanks
Solid video! Love this type of content.
The ZY Play app from Zhiyun has always failed me. :|
my man kept looking for answers and kept getting "ok" 😂😂

Can you tell me know about your brand grip take gimbal Crane 3S on the car?
I'm definitely buying it.
Wow nice work, i need one of this 😂👌🏻
Such a dope way to test the crane Armando! Great video bro!
Thanks for watching brother 🤙🏽
Great video bro. Cool gimbal and BTS
It's really awesome, we use it for all of my music clips 😉👍👍👍

WITH A DUCT TAPE DUHHH!

DUDE u had Freakn Thor as a gibal operator?!?! Half the Vid was his massive ARMS! i wish I was buff :(
Start working out, if that's what you really want c:
He's not even that buff tho
Is it possible to attach external ssd at the same time? If so how...
Nice gimbal for making video
What mode was this on. Anytime I try this it tries to spin arround
very great video Armando!!!
The problem is there is no compensation for the accelerometer when you are taking a corner. Unlike DJI they don't have a GPS unit to help compensate so the footage ends up "leaning" around corners.
It's a $600 gimbal tho. Pretty impressive for the price point.
