Zhiyun-Tech CRANE-M3 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabiliser (Standard Kit)

Small, lightweight, and fashionable, the CRANE-M3 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabiliser from Zhiyun-Tech is designed for compact cameras, smartphones, and action cameras. The compact design allows you to freely manoeuvre your camera for longer periods of time, and it’s also easy to pack up with you when traveling. New features include an integrated fill light with colour filters and adjustable colour temperature, a fashionable white exterior, a 1.22″ full-colour OLED display, PD quick charge, eight hours of runtime, and an even faster quick release baseplate.

The CRANE-M3 offers 360 pan, 309 tilt, and 333 roll rotation across seven modes of operation, including follow, pan-follow, POV, portrait, GO, lock, and Vortex modes, and it can also be adjusted manually if required. It runs for approximately eight hours using its built-in 1150mAh battery that’s rechargeable using an included USB Type-C cable, and you can also power the gimbal using a power bank while operating the gimbal. The colour OLED display confirms the selected operation mode, battery level, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi status, and other functions. Scale marks and memory locks help you balance the camera and lock the balance position for the camera used.

Over built-in Wi-Fi, the gimbal can sync up with a Wi-Fi-enabled camera that supports remote zoom, shutter, and video start/stop control, or you can utilise a camera control cable and the USB Type-C port on the baseplate to control the camera shutter and also power the camera. Over built-in Bluetooth, the camera syncs up with a free-download ZY Play mobile app for iOS and Android for additional capabilities.

The app provides remote control over many functions of the gimbal and has filmmaking features such as time-lapse, panorama, and slow-motion capture. The integrated LED light allows you to utilise a fill light for your subject without the requirement of external lights.
