ZHIYUN Crane 3S

Zhiyun Crane 3S

From filming intense car chases to shooting in the studio, different recording situations demand both high performance and flexibility from recording equipment.

Given the myriad challenges filmmakers face on a daily basis, ZHIYUN decided to further enhance the adaptability of its CRANE series to demanding and unpredictable situations during filming.

Optimized for even more demanding camera configurations

This is not just a simple improvement, but a consistent redesign. For this purpose, the CRANE 3S has been equipped with brand-new and extremely powerful motors designed for a payload of up to 6.5 kg, enabling a wide range of camera configurations.

Extendable boom - greater flexibility

An extension module, included as standard with the CRANE 3S, can be attached to the horizontal boom for mounting larger combinations.

Modular design - versatile mounting options

Installing the EasySling handle gives you more comfort when using in upright and worn positions by extending the handle, while the SmartSling handle is great for direct control thanks to its intuitive control panel and OLED display.

Precisely calculated 55° alignment - wider field of view.

The precisely 55° tilted roll axis is designed for a clear view and provides enough space for mounting combinations with large cinema cameras.

Improved Zoom and focus control

To meet the high demands of cinematography, larger lens mounts have been added to the Zoom and focus control. The Zooming can be done synchronously via the SmartSling grip

SyncMotion: Visualized control

With ViaTouch 2.0, we are introducing the industry's first visualized remote control system. This enables filmmakers to precisely control the gimbal through motion and at the same time monitor their current shots via smartphones or monitors.

Cross-platform compatibility - limitless combination possibilities

Thanks to numerous threaded holes of different sizes recessed on both the stabilizer and the handle, the CRANE 3S offers excellent compatibility with a wide range of accessories such as motorized camera carts, jibs, cable-guided cameras and Easyrigs. This means that even the most demanding challenges can be easily overcome during filming.

No swinging - absolute safety

The fundamentally revised locking system enables the three axes to be locked without any noticeable swinging. The modular design is rounded out by double locking mechanisms that ensure equipment is 100% securely attached to the gimbal, both in motion and in storage.

Continuous operation with the support of PowerPlus

The DC-IN connector allows for direct charging with input voltages up to 25.2V. The PowerPlus battery pack can accommodate six 18650 batteries, giving your gimbal more power to adapt to continuous intense motion, as well as acting as a compact, yet fast-charging powerbank for charging your devices.
