🔴I JUST released a LUT pack! Check it out HERE!: bit.ly/2xcc5Jy 🔴

[@arogyareddy2361]

Can I use it for canon M5 Mirrorless camera

[@pearlmyghty2058]

Been waiting anxiously for this. I am learning all there is about this gimbal. Gonna get me one in couple of months.

[@saopaulosoul8714]

“You can also adjust the base plate on your camera IF you run out of slack” I can’t emphasize how important this note is! New gimbal users get frustrated and don’t realize this is an option!!! Great video josh. I am envious of the red locking buttons so much more convenient good work by zhiyun

[@anoopammanath7462]

Great video Josh. Everything explained very well. Waiting for the full review.

[@jamescheney4591]

Just upgraded to this from the crane 2. Thanks for the video!

[@my2cents198]

Very well explained at the perfect pace....killing it mate !!!

[@chrisorozco7912]

Hi Josh. Great video has really helped me a lot! just like to ask, how do you store your zhiyun crane 3 Lab when travelling? Do you put it in a separate bag or do you recommend a bag that will fit everything? Thanks again!

[@CyberEditing]

Seems far superior to the Crane 2.....This setting up was very clearly explained. 😎😁😎

[@crystlesybert7313]

Excellent product!

[@ramakantchavda4041]

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thank you so much! I am glad that it worked out for you! :)

[@DavidLeBlancHero]

Momentum Productions hawk you again for all your amazing videos and tutorials, I’m trying to understand the real use of those POV and Follow mode, aren’t both the same thing ? I’m trying to found a real comprehensive tutorial of all those moves in real life use , but the only one I can found is in Chinese from zyuin page ,

[@videobilderschweiz]

Did help a lot. Thanks mate. Easy setup. Great Gimbal

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thanks so much man!

[@GoldGollum]

Hey guys, excellent video and awesome channel! You guys are doing a fantastic job with consistant videos! Keep up the good work! Just to know... is it compatible with Canon T1i ? I think I may already know the answer, but just asking, I,m currently testing the Crane 3 Lab and I’m trying to balance it... with an old Canon dslr (EOS 500D/T1i) don’t beat me! Just testing with what I have right now...

[@lunaglunaglunag]

Hi, my footages seems to have horizontal drift (roll axis drift tilt) everytime I use it ( I did the balancing and stuff already) Is this the gimbal hardware problem itself? Or What settings should I exactly do ?

[@glennparker8247]

When I do the first portion my camera still slides back and forth even when I close the quick plate tensioner. any advice? if i tilt it up or down it just slides straight out.

[@ExplorePotohar]

Very useful and helpful tips.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thanks a lot

[@Rubinaasma]

thanks for the video !

[@eugenegrib]

Thanks!!)) Now on set and balancing gimbal😂

[@MatthewBrooksMusic]

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yay! Thank you for watching!

[@jpemile]

Hey Josh, Do you have any advises on how to mount a LED light to the Crane 3?

[@nironathan2490]

Nice video!

[@Darthbishop]

I just received my Crane 3 LAB today! This video will come in handy once I’m ready to play with it! 😬😬😬😬

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yay!!!! Enjoy it! :)

[@Darthbishop]

Your instructions were amazing, got it stabilized in no time. One question though....how do I connect my Canon 5d mark iv to the camera controls? I don’t see a cable that’s compatible so far.

[@rahaamboiii]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have a question. My battery show it’s charged with the induction blue but when try powering it on it doesn’t show up as I have put the batteries on correctly. Any reason for this?

[@JSGlobalMedia]

Thank you for this tutorial, I am having problems with my Crane 3 Lab, I've upgraded it to V1.90 and then I attempted to upgrade the Servo Motors (Max & Lite) but there is a Yellow light that continues to blink. Have you experienced this problem or can you offer me any assistance? I can't seem to find a number for tech support in the US for this manufacturer.

[@studiovitta]

i just buy yesterday my crane 3 . do you know why the joystick not work horizontally out of the box ,but only tilt up and down ? i have for little time ronin s and in this joystick work in every way in all modes. thanks a lot

[@christinax8x]

Thank you very much!)

[@chozhanpayanam8516]

This Vid So Usefull us... Thanks a Lot brother... Gimbal and your dress each colour at Same...

[@Savannacabana]

@2:30 I cant get mine to balance here but I think it's because my lense is too light? 16-50mm on a Sony A6400?

[@NigelAquascaping]

Is the quick release plate arca Swiss compatible?

[@gorganhelishot785]

Thank you

[@gyorgyrenata]

Thank you for your work, it is really helpful. I would ask this community, how long it took to you master this process ?

[@3DEditor]

I have a panasonic G9 and I like to use my Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm optical zoom lens for filming nature far away. It's a fairly heavy lens, do you think that combo can be balanced and held up by the Crane 3 when the zoom is fully extended? It's max payload is almost 10 lbs. Or would I need to add a cage and counter weight on top of that to achieve it?

[@NaderHamandi]

perfect tutorial 👌✌️🤝 thnx

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Glad you liked it!

[@-Alam]

NIce sharing sir💓

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Well done, Josh. Does the gimbal have a balance test in the app?

[@technoar8161]

From Colombia. Thanks a lot :D

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Hey there! Thank you for your support :)

[@christianquintero840]

god bless you dude

[@giuseppefedele4993]

Hi, currently with Lumix S1 and 24-105 I can't calibrate the roll axis. If I tilt the gimbal to the right and to the left it always returns to the center. Everything else is ok for the other aces. Could the little fluid movement be due to this? Given my configuration I set the engines to high, but I didn't change any parameters related to pan, roll and tilt. Thank you in advance.

[@artuncansinors7358]

Hey man, I've been watching your videos about Zhiyun crane 3 lab, Thank you so much. Only thing I can't see the screen while recording video, so it's a dark screen on my Sony a7iii. Any idea why?

[@felipevece]

THe Axis Can be dessasamble From the main Body of the Zhiyun Crane 3?

[@krishnapatel331]

Hi josh... Thank you for this tutorial.. I've one question.... While starting and operating a gimble do i have to unlock all the axis??? Or can i use it with pan axis locked??

[@5r6t]

Krishna Patel unlocked otherwise motors will overheat

[@muleyg]

Should a zoom lens be zoomed in or out to balance the gimbal correctly?

[@yerevantrip7397]

hello can you help me? how to connect Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Gimbal to nikon d7500? do you recommend this connection?

[@JAK_EDITS.]

Im having trouble with the pan axis. Supposidly all the other axis's are balanced correctly but the pan refuses to not swing when i tilt side to side as you've shown

[@arogyareddy2361]

Can we use it for canon M5 Mirrorless

[@richardmatos9614]

Also make sure your tilt, pitch and pan arms are not locked when powering on or you can destroy this awesome device. Not sure if you mentioned that or not.

[@VishwasNicholas]

I purchased a Zhiyun 3 few days back... It says overheat whenever I try to shoot.... How to resolve this issue?

[@inzombnia616]

Damn all these videos got me going backwards. First video i saw was balancing then i realized I needed your video to set up, but now i need an unboxing video before yours. Someone should do all in one

[@alanklein4586]

can i connect to a sony 7 siii

[@vickywai9521]

[@grphotograph4801]

Hi thanks for the video , Can U make a video ? how to use fs5 on crane 3 lab underslung mode please .

[@EdWohlfahrt]

Hi, thx for the cool explainer vid. i have issues with the quick-plate tensioner. it put in the lock position it still doesn't fix the plate properly. that means i still can move the plat foreward and backward. Why is that? thx in advance!

[@AlexandreAlezzia]

I have the same problem

[@vpsmediagroup6348]

I have this problem as well

[@carlosg9207]

Hello there. Where can I find a Crane 3 Gimbal Gravity Adjustment Plate for Canon 1DX Camera? Thank you

[@autoszerviznihon6684]

Hi, I've a camcorder PANASONIC HCX1000, if I connect this zhiyn crane 3 lab with my camcorder, can it rotates my camera free to any direction? thanks

[@anonymouse7074]

Is this as stable as a Crane 2 with the Dual Handle or TransMount Mini Dual Handle? I primarily do walking shots. Also, where would I be able to mount an HDMI transmitter?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yup! Just as stable! I will make a video on how to attach accessories. It's really easy :)

[@HiddenMistTV]

Does anybody know if the Sony a6000 to light for this gimbal

[@frengkyu]

Crane 3 lab support canon 90d?

[@UmaStudionsp]

[@zuriy3k1]

Does anyone know how to get the crane 3s out of standby mode?

[@Thomasrokz]

[@SonNguyenOfficialchannel]

i can't control my camera when i connect it to crane 3 even i already use the cable to connect just like what you do, can you explain that part for me ? which usb mode i should switch to control it thank you so much and sorry for my bad english ... thanks for the video too :D

[@nocoolname32]

Sơn Nguyễn search KZbin for crane 3 set up with you brand of camera. I found 1 for Sony.

[@watachiwakamidesu]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I tried it but even if I follow the rules step by step the pan axe's do not stay in the position I put it ones I balanced it. My lense is very lightweight so maybe it's the problem. If anybody could enlight me about it. Thanks

[@kenyonchapman]

[@SchuckProductions]

cant get BMPCC to balance iv tried everything i can think of

[@sumitmauryavanshi6898]

good

[@montseperezcisneros7888]

Hey Josh!! I’m having a problem please please help me! I already balanced the gimbal but the camera moved back and forward if I do a sudden move with the controls because the mounting plate does not lock it, is it normal??

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Hey there! Twist the mounting lock a few times around and it will begin to tighten. Do this without your camera.

[@lindseyrhoads7895]

Hi - I am finding this product set up really frustrating. I am trying to balance my camera on the gimbal. If I unlock the very top latch (tilt axis?), the camera can balance facing forward but does not balance if I turn it on its back. The instructions seem to contradict each other during this step. Should the camera be forward facing or facing upward whens balancing the tilt axis? ( I assume what I am referring to is the tilt axis but there is no diagram in the manual so I am not quire sure). Thanks for any insight.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

When adjusting the plate, leave the camera pointing straight. With the other til adjustment, have the camera pointed up.

[@dannypr69]

I ordered the master package. What do I need and how do I go about mounting/connecting Atomos Shinobi 5" external monitor?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

All you really need is a Magic Arm :)

[@Lukeredacted]

Dennis Reyes I’d recommend getting an additional handle that goes between the gimbal and the tabletop tripod mount (using the 1/4 20 screws). SmallRig makes a great one (“SmallRig Universal Gimbal Handle” on Amazon/B&H). The two built-in mounts are mainly made for their own phone holder and don’t seem strong enough for a full monitor setup, long term. A handle will allow many more mounting points and they are much more durable.

[@ThePatels]

Josh with the focus and zoom attachment is does the process changes or stays the same? Are you planning to make another video with those attachments?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yes, I will make another tutorial on how to attach those accessories :)

[@ThePatels]

@@MomentumProductions1992 This will be my 1st one with those two units so definitely want to know your tricks on it :) Thanks a lot brother!

[@zidkumar]

Does this easy way to adjust and balance the pitch axis work on the Crane 2? Or should I use the conventional method of holding the gimbal on one hand and adjusting the pitch? (That's too hard btw)

[@MomentumProductions1992]

The method in the video is better :)

[@zidkumar]

Well.. Thanks mate! :D

[@jaemndz6542]

I try to lock the plate on to the gimbal but it doesnt work. The camera slides back and forth. How do I fix this??

[@nashatb]

Is the 3 CRAN LAB SUPPORT SONY A7III AND WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAMERA

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yes it does! Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH6mqKCpmZV0bbM

[@ChrisOrrFilm]

Damn! Great review. I hope they paid you for these!!!

[@sriudhayamnatiyalaya6032]

It is suitable for pantex ks2

[@tsRR09]

Hey mate im having trouble balancing my tilt, the camera just falls forward, but I think the tilt axis is correct as it stays upright, but it just doesnt face forward

[@tsRR09]

nvm i got it thanks lol. i was starting to think mine was faulty

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Glad to hear it man :)

[@cholaaudiovisual9495]

Hi, you can balance a bmpcc4k in this gimbal please?

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Yes you can!

[@Joyce-tq2hf]

The base plate is huge and under certain positions, WILL hit and SCRATCH the joystick part.The gimbal is especially prone to hitting the base plate when switching between upright and low angles.

[@halish301]

Zhiyun App(especially the Android version) has room for functionality improvements, such as pitch angles, instant display of zoom multiples, instant filters, and special effects processing. In particular, the current "slow motion shooting" function of Android App is not effective, and there are no iOS version of the filter features that need to be improved.

[@josieicaza7031]

I don’t understand how the gimbal will just stay in place when you position it at those weird angles. My camera doesn’t look like it’s leaning to any particular side but it doesn’t stay frozen like it does in the video when he moves it. Any tips are much appreciated!

[@kenyonchapman]

[@SloanAndCoMedia]

Does anyone else have an issue with their base plate sliding and not sticking? I cant tighten the screw any more, so i have to put gaf tape to be able to keep the camera in place without sliding. (not a big camera or lens. Sonya7iii, with 24-70 lens)

[@HAIRCUTS91]

Hey Josh for some reason my base plate won't lock in tight to stop camera from sliding back and forth. Can u help

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Hey man, try spinning the locking tensioner a few times around. It will start to tighten up.

[@HAIRCUTS91]

Thanks Josh it worked

What lens? I assume you know you need either a prime lens or if you balance with a zoom - leave the zoom alone!

I’m not for sure what you mean Josh
