DJI Ronin S vs Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab

[@FeedMeMedia]

Finally, a you tube reviewer that gets it-- right to the point, no filler or over-the-top personalities! Great work.

[@DanielGonzzz]

Feed Me Media exactly my thoughts too!

[@craigraboteau7024]

Agreed

[@OneShotFilmmaker]

I do the same thing on my channel I hate all the nonsense KZbinrs go on and on about

[@christiankeen1644]

Man I love your content. No filler words, no wasted time, just up in your face truth. Thanks for what you do

[@dietwedge]

A $20 handle for the Ronin S can mimic the design of the Crane 3.

[@mkdn]

Jason Berardi I’ll have to check that out. That’s the number 1 reason I want the crane 3. Is it a dji product?

[@dietwedge]

mike deen nope. But it’s a solid, machined piece of gear. It’s a lot more solid than the Crane, which I’ve now been able to get hands on as well. With the addition of the handle (which can be taken off if you chose...you can’t with the Crane), it’s all that I had hoped the C3 would be. The software is always the kicker for me, on these purchases and DJI whoops everyone’s butt in that department.

[@coolpixstudio5266]

I bought that handle and i love it,

[@mkdn]

Jason Berardi can you guys link it?

[@dietwedge]

mike deen looks like it went up a few bucks in price. I’ve got the Pocket 4K as my gimbal cam, so the $499 Ronin S and a cheap handle works for me.

I think McKinnon is right up there with him, but both of them rock!

[@joelelhadj6993]

It just depends what you are trying to learn I suppose

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Although I can appreciate what you did encounter. The tracking feature was completely overlooked. The fact that the crane 3 lab can track from any hdmi input sets it apart from all the others. Which is kind of a big deal when it comes to gimbals as its the first gimbal to track from any camera or camcorder from it's hdmi output.

[@ghglowbalmedia]

I have the Ronin S n have never regretted. It's so good n reliable.

[@FitnessArab]

you are the only one with #petermckinnon who I wish you do not stop the video . Thank you bro for everything you give us . big like from MOROCCO

[@Soupcan13]

Both of them look sweet. Originally just off looks I was going with the zhiyun but the dji footage looked better to me

[@Shvrp]

Man, you have no idea how helpful this is to me right now. I’ve just recently bought all my own personal camera gear for the first time and a gimbal is the last thing I need. I knew DJI and Zhiyun were both great brands for this but I didn’t know what to choose. Both are very pricey so I needed to make the right decision. A mentor of mine recommends all DJI products (but he has the M, not the S) so I was starting to lean toward DJI... this confirmed it for me. THANK YOU :)

[@DavisInDuval]

Hardware aside, I just trust DJI’s software. Love their drones, love my Ronin S.

Would love love to see the Moza Air 2 vs the DJI Ronin S. Glad you're back Mr Walbeck!

[@romapankiv]

Parker Walbeck is the best teacher online

[@BrannonNod]

I ordered the "Agimbal Gear DH09 Handle Grip" for my Ronin S. So a few more points go to Dji for ground lowering shots😋

[@geneba712]

I bought it too. It makes Ronin S as Zhyiun. Good move, Brannon! Recommend to others.

[@BrannonNod]

@@geneba712 I'll Be posting a review on it soon!

[@drbryantorres]

Parker Walbeck is the best, a biggest inspiration!

[@JamieFenn]

I bought the small rig handle which basically turns the ronin into the ultimate gimbal. Best of both worlds. And for a cheep upgrade it makes the ronin s dominate the field still.

[@YoungBlaze]

i would love to see the best settings for the Crane 3 far as in the app to get the smoothest motion

I will definitely buy the DJI Ronin S! ...next time. Lol I can’t even afford the Flycam Redking yet. I’ll work on my budget for that, first.

[@lukas_g243]

Rhyan De Guzman I got the fly cam redoing solely on Parker’s opinion and it doesn’t disappoint, keep in mind that Parker still prefers steadicams to gymbals when he does real estate and wedding and damn it’s steady if it’s not it’s not balanced

[@vivekaaraga]

The Redking is being sold for $80 on Amazon now.

[@vivekaaraga]

Being Yourself I have used it on a 1DX, EOS R and BMPCC 6K with a 16-35 Canon lens

Sir i really like your review, quick go to the point and also speak fluently without wasting time . Absolutely gonna subscribe. Please keep this routine .

[@van_mendoza]

Parker, great vid. Would be interested in seeing a PART 2 to this with accessories which one is superior (for you)

[@steadilsr]

Parker, Great comparison of Zhiyun Crane 3 and Ronin S. One thing as as former Steadicam owner /op: I would never put my gear into the wind stream! Its always possible to hang out comfortably in the rear of an SUV with lift gate open, strapped in for safety, and follow your subject or even shoot from the side. A sliding door minivan offers more comfort and safety for those side of the driver shots if needed. I m considering the Zhiyun Weebil only because I m retired and just need a good gimbal for RE video work and creative stuff! thanks for great video!!

[@demonslayed8895]

First vid I've watched of yours....and I like how its clean, straight to the point. I appreciate that!

[@SonNguyenOfficialchannel]

crane 3 have so many option in the menu, i think you should check it, already use both of this gimbal and finally i choose crane 3 for so many reason. you can set the speed at crane 3 for better sport scene, the motor speed, the smoothly. I think the crane 3 will take your time longer to get used with it but it will not let you down trust me :D sorry for my bad english

[@GeekProductionsNT]

why you don't compare with MOza air 2? it's really necessary

[@r-baticle]

Great video i just disagree on one point : you can fit a big and large camera on the Crane 3. I use it with BM Ursa 12k and it works perfectly

[@ardentcarpenter2798]

Off topic. Nice mountains in the back. Lol. What state?

[@exploresouthafrica3551]

No bullshit. Straight talker. Love the content man. Keep it up.

[@garybush3921]

[@SamCLawn]

Storyblocks actually looks awesome! Thanks for Sharing!

[@wanjamantel665]

This is the Video I've waited for half a year!

[@diazfilms]

Great presentation! I've rented both and both had the similar issues. Crane 3S is a beast and out performed the Ronin for what i needed it for. I ended up purchasing the Crane 3S. All those 3 year old issues have been resolved.

[@YuriyBoss]

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this video for months! ))

[@nonsoville]

The crane 3 was also designed to place the second handle on your chest or shoulder. Twas mentioned at NAB Something you omitted. So not a fair comparison with the handling. I personally own the Ronin S and like it

[@jinxterpinxter]

Not only is that still not closer to your chest than the Ronin, it wouldn't be that comfortable either.

[@alexaafilm]

Nice comparison. Do you mind to share your Ronin S smooth track config?

[@PhotoMe99]

The definition of "Great Content". Thank you for sharing knowledge.

[@adrienpayet]

The ronin S is clearly amazing, I love mine!

[@basicquel3357]

Love you all! Great work! Keep it up!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Another awesome video. Curious do you find you use a gimbal more these days or a glidecam? Seems a glidecam would be irrelevant.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thanks for the reply. Keep up the great work.

[@sicilianmadeentertainment6009]

The Crane 3 is Dope! I bought one when it came out and it does so much more than the Ronin S just my opinion.

[@Trevmo09]

Great Video! Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I'm a real estate shooter and I'm going to buy one of these pretty quick to shoot videos for my clients. My one question is this...can either of these do motion lapses at night? In other words, since night shots are longer exposures, they look better if the camera isn't moving. So, can either one of these do that (stop while the camera is exposing)?

[@Sebadoah]

Just like Feed Me Media and a couple of others said: thanks for the to-the-point, nicely done, totally relevant review without all the meandering blah blah that so many other reviewers get afflicted with

[@mr.blurred606]

Hello Idol. please make a video tips for using DJI Ronin S. Because I have a problem with my self using that stabilizer. the gimbal is good but I still having a shaky video :(

[@noel.friedrich]

You are the perfect person to test gimbals

[@tomburnmedia]

Great comparison! I have issues with my Ronin-S when trying to do slider style movements- even with the trigger pressed it doesn't stay locked facing the same way for much distance! My old Crane 1v2 used to do it until the camera hit the side motor! Can you do a video on how you've got your Ronin-S set up?

[@tomburnmedia]

oh wait, just heard you say it's only available on your course. Thanks for this video anyway! Saved me from wanting to jump ship and to try and find out how to set up my Ronin-S better.

[@ferminiturbide4390]

Dude, I’m getting ready to buy a motorized gimbal, I have been looking and comparing for some time...I had picked the Ronin-S mainly due to price, I believe I saw it on Amazon for like $550 but then I saw the Crane-3 and liked how it looks and its “low-mode” feature.....your comment about your arms getting tired quicker with the Crane-3 plus battery life...that’s crucial, I don’t think people realize how much that matters....this shit was on point and I thank you for it....Ronin-S for me.

[@MiChaelAnDresito1]

Excellent job bro, the best and concrete comparative video

[@PostGuru22]

Moza air 2 review plszzzz

[@purvy7240]

Just wrapped a shoot using a BMPCC with a pretty long front heavy 24mm lens on the Ronin S and we ended up sliding the camera forward and duck taped a paper weight to the side to counterbalance the side weight and it worked perfect.

[@LewseeAhh]

Great tips, at first i was leaning towards the crane 3 but now i think the ronin S has won me over

[@studioblueimage]

Who else clicks on the “like” button the minute his video starts playing. Love this guy! ✌🏽

[@osfan25]

If you triple tap the mode button on the Ronin S it will go into flashlight mode. Then all you have to do is flick the joystick left or right and it will automatically rotate and perform the 360 move.

[@narrativenestco5349]

Really like the comparisons, but hoping for an unbiased opinion on a gimbal for cellphone and Osmo or go pro cameras and as well a dslr gimbal with the follow me option...does that exist?

[@AM2PMReviews]

I have the weebill Lab and think it feels a little cheap too for the price

[@aritramondal3515]

Hey can you please make a video comparing the DJI RONIN S and FEIYUTECH AK4500 please..It would be a great help!!

[@cheloronaldo]

Coming from a Zhiyun weebill lab, I wouldn’t go back to get any Zhiyun product, period. I always got shaky footage with it, and apparently it’s a major issue among the users of that gimbal. I finally ended up selling it and getting a DJI ronin-S and my footages are always smooth, you can definitely tell the difference in quality.

[@swo0shhs0ows80]

Excellent review. I just bought the ronin s and now I don’t regret it!

[@DavidVedenskii]

omg your reviews are THE BEST on the whole KZbin! you and mkbhd

[@mekkitel]

Great real use review and comparison Parker. This shows the potential of the DJI Ronin S and the Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab better than any specs list or so called youtubers' "reviews" that are just a long speech with a few insignificant images thrown in here and there.

[@frederickyan]

Most of the points go to the crane is about the low mode, however, these could be easily fixed (or achieved) by buying a handle accessories for ronin s, and that's solid and removable any time

[@CavaughnEdwards]

Excellent content. What's your editing software or softwares?

[@tombuck]

Love the innovative design of the Zhiyun! The Robin can definitely be awkward at time. But it’s REALLY hard to argue with DJI’s overall featureset, reliability, and usability. Thanks for an awesome comparison!

[@qutaibaraw8050]

Ronin s vs moza air 2 witch one to get so confused and thx a lot for the helpful videos I learned a lot from u🙏

[@vinnunani3989]

Moza air 2 better than dji Ronin s

[@TheDealyDeal]

I have the Moza Air 2. Love it! Batteries are cheaper and easier to come by than the Ronin S but are not as quick to replace. I have mounted my Fuji X-T3 with battery grip and 50-140 F2.8 lens on it and it handles it perfectly. No motor vibration or glitches. The app is great. The only downside is that the handle does not come off as it does on the Ronin S which makes it not as easy to travel with.

[@benwilliams9627]

Awesome review Parker this is one of the best I have seen. Thanks to you guys I am going with the DJI.

Do you have a video on microphones for different video productions? I have a film class coming up in the spring and was curious what audio would be good for independent films/interviews.

[@tota8064]

When the Video ended, I discovered that I was not watching the gear, I was watching Parker's shoulders and biceps.

[@PixelsInMotion]

Try holding and running with these gimbals you will end up having biceps and triceps

[@ChaoticMatters]

I could never get low mode to work right on my Ronin S. The motors freak out no matter how good the balance is

[@faithgrangerfilms]

Great comparison Parker... I so agree with you about the awkwardness of the Crane 3 when it comes time to pick it up and fold the tripod and even more so, time to unfold the tripod and put it down. And you are right it is SUPER heavy to yield. But the biggest issues i ran into was actually making the functions work with my A7iii. None of the AV / TV / ISO worked in filming mode. They worked in photo mode (M) only, but I could not trigger filming video while in this mode. I really don''t get it. the whole purpose of a gimbal is to stabilize VIDEO. Why would I need to use it for photo? Zhiyun website tutorial shows setting up the gimbal in M mode and said to use M mode to film. I don't think so LOL. I could not get the app to connect to the crane either, no matter what I tried. The record button did work in filming mode BUT there was a serious lag everytime you pressed the button, both to start and to end filming. If shooting a wedding for example, that kind of lag might be the difference between capturing a candid moment and missing it. I also had issues with external monitor, in some settings it would go black. One more thing: attaching an external monitor was a problem too. It seemed to always be in the way and would loosen up due to simple gravity as the holes are located on the sides. Compared to my current gimbal where I have side bar and monitor mounts directly above the handles, never any problem. Anyway, that's wy i am returning my crane today :( and I was so excited to get it, so the disappointment is even worse.
