    First, I love the design of the Zhiyun Crane M3. Looks Sturdy and robust! Also, mixing the colors is a smart move!
    Look at how compact that thing is! I've jumped from Feiyutech G6plus, Zhiyun Crane 2, DJI Ronin SC, and Moza Aircross 2 but I've get rid every one of them due to its size(and packaging). Seeing the Zhiyun Crane M3 really struck me. Deep-diving to its features made me like it even more. I love keeping things at a minimum and compact while travelling so this is a solution to my packing needs. It will also be able to hold my camera. Seems like this can be my new gimbal!

    The size & portability. The ease of setting up and most importantly, it can handle more weight now. Much better than carrying my crane M. Would love to have this as my on the go. Wondering if Zhiyun will manufacture them in black, because white is just too eye catching.

  • @ramasolaaurora6667

    All-in-one design, so we don't need to attach any more accessories, ZHIYUN M3 really take care all of my consern. Weight, Balance issue, small body with big compatiable ability, even the color, I really being so deep impression on this white color. Really good job, ZHIYUN.

    If there's something that james loves more than techno its things he can fit his hands around easily, like the new Zhiyun M3 gimbal, nimbal, lightweight, easy to grip, can fit your fingers firmly around the shaft. Boshhhhh. I personally love the little light as weird as that might sound but I can see how that would be very handy in night shoots.

  • @megapixelblog
    @megapixelblog 3 года назад +2

    What you didn't tell:
    - the combination (Sony 6400 and Tamron 1120) is the maximum that can just be balanced without hitting the camera
    - the supplied cables do not work and are too short
    - changing settings (aperture, iso etc.) via the control dial is not possible with Sony
    - photo shooting (camera is in auto mode, other photo programmes also tested) does not work with
    - Panorama, timelapse via the app. The gimbal moves through the waypoints, but no photos are triggered.
    - Only handy if you move all arms back to the original position.
    I tested everything with the latest firmware 1.72. It is possible with the Weebill S and DJI Ronin.
    My recommendation: don't get lulled into buying the M3 yet !!!!

    Little star warsy color and design but who cares, at least folks can see which side I came from. I may get a suitable helmet too.
    And I subbed for the accent that reminds me of the characters in the movie Snatch, even though not entirely cockney.

    The perfect size gimbal for my Sony a6100 with the Sigma 16mm f1.4 or Tamron 17-28mm f2.8. The only gimbal that I have is the Osmo Pocket. The lcd panel, the size and light weight, the video led light and the Stormtrooper color make me to want the Crane M3 and with it start to get stabilized videos. Nice review.

    I think the best selling thing is the size and payload ratio. In the past, I tried Crane M-2 and it could hold only my Sony A6000 with kit lens. This one little beast could hold way more. It could be the item that would help me to make travel videos, film real estate and some stock footage :)
