Zhiyun Crane M3 Combo Version 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless Cameras Smartphone and Action Camera,Tripod Phone Clip Included

I love my new gimbal, Zhiyun Crane-M3. It is a great accessory for filmmakers. It’s sleek, stylish and works great with my Nikon Z6 II. It comes with a chic white travel bag holding the gimbal and all its accessories. I love how it's small and compact and easy to use.It is very easy to set up, although I recommend watching a YouTube video on how to set it up rather than reading the manual. It comes with a quick setup guide as well as a slightly more detailed manual. There is a QR code that you can scan to obtain the full manual.Accessories include a quick release plate for your camera, all necessary cables including charging cable, color gels, and a tripod attachment. I bought the Combo Kit and that includes a phone clamp so you can use your cellphone if you want as your video recorder, a chic travel bag, and a more substantial tripod attachment.The touch screen is small but effective. The gimbal has its own LED fill light. This will help light your subjects up in dark rooms. You can apply the gels to it to change the color of the light. The build quality is excellent. Aside from the tripod, it is all metal and I find it to be very solid.With the Crane-M3, you can achieve a beautiful professional cinematic look to your videos. It gives you smooth camera movement as you pan, left/right or up/down. It has all the necessary modes like pan follow, full follow, locking, go, and vortex; everything you might need to enhance your storytelling technique. You would probably need some lessons on cinematography and practice with all the modes to master all it's capabilities.Because the gimbal is small, make sure your camera and lens are compatible before buying.I am an event photographer and I want to branch out and offer videography/cinematography services. I would use this at weddings and other events. I can't wait to learn how to use this gimbal fully and perfect my filming skills.I include a short video clip to show its capabilities. The Zhiyun Crane-M3 is a great gimbal and it should be in every cinematic filmmaker’s bag!

I do a lot of Real Estate and Wedding videography. This new compact and lightweight design is simply outstanding and makes me want to use a gimbal again. I like the stylized design with the white as well!Some of the best features include:- Compact and lightweight- Build quality is very solid compared to past Zhiyun's.- Easy to use Touch LCD screen- Quick charging, long-lasting battery- Easy to balance on smaller, lightweight full frame setups- Built in light helps focusing and adding just a hint of keyIt does work with full-frame cameras and lightweight lenses, such as the Sony A1 + Rokinon 14mm. I was able to get this setup balanced and it worked! The auto-calibration is a neat feature as well. At a very affordable price, this is a great option for those looking for a lightweight gimbal for their lightweight mirrorless setup. It packs a lot of features and gimbal modes to help you get the shot.I will add some photos and videos to this review soon!
