Smaller, but no less powerful
Portable, yet suitable for professional use and extremely compatible - probably the best description for the CRANE-M3. The compact design of the body and the optimized arrangement of the axis arms provide a better grip feeling and an even more exciting user experience. With its brand-new lighting technology, which enables illumination with two different color temperatures, and professional sound technology, the CRANE-M3 offers a top-class filming experience - and that without any additional equipment.
High performance in a compact body
Compatible with various devices*
Despite the compact design, mounting of various different devices is easily possible. Motors built into the back and an optimized arrangement of the axis arms ensure that the gimbal can be manufactured in the size of a water bottle and offers more space for attaching equipment. Improved motors with higher torque ensure smooth movements and un-shaky footage regardless of camera size.
*Compatible with smartphones, action cameras, compact cameras and full-frame mirrorless cameras in combination with select lenses. An additional mount is required for smartphones and action cameras
Brand New Elegant Design
New color compositions of black, white and red combined with multiple composite materials create an elegant appearance and provide an exceptionally good feel when you hold the gimbal in your hand.
The innovative fill light built into ZHIYUN's professional camera gimbal ensures that the subject can be captured with ease even in the dark.
Quick Release Mechanism 4.0
The redesigned quick release mechanism with a quick release plate suitable for a wide range of devices makes it even easier to establish balance and attach and remove devices. Locks with transverse palm detection ensure camera protection, all without compromising efficiency.
High-quality, small quick-release plate for all common camera models. Sophisticated battery cover layout and coordinated design make battery changes easy and eliminate the need to remove the camera.
Innovative latches and locks allow for uncomplicated stowage. The gimbal can be set to a partially or fully collapsed state as needed. When partially collapsed, no axis alignment is required even though the camera is mounted, and when unfolded, no rebalancing is required. When fully collapsed, the gimbal is now even more compact.
Integrated fill light with two color temperatures
The groundbreaking integrated LED fill light reduces image noise and counteracts unfavorable lighting conditions. The color temperature and brightness can be precisely adjusted via the control dial. Colorization with light filters is also easily possible. Even at high brightness, the state-of-the-art cooling technology ensures fast heat dissipation.
Maximum power: 6 W, color temperature range: 3000 - 5400 K, brightness: warm light 650 - 750, white light 850 - 950, CRI 90+
Separately available Multifunctional expandable base plate
Professional audio
Interviews are easily possible. The 6.5mm audio jack allows connection of equipment such as wired professional microphones with different polar patterns (cardioid, supercardioid) for clear, high-resolution sound.
Wired/wireless camera control
The receiver integrated into the baseplate can be paired with the transmitter module to control most popular cameras wirelessly via Bluetooth. Compatibility with the camera's shutter release protocol enables photo and video capture, focusing, and digital/optical zooming in and out within the limits set by the protocol.
*See the compatibility list for information on compatible models and available functions.
1.22" touchscreen for one-hand operation
The brand new touchscreen impresses with a modern and intuitive user interface (UI). The gimbal is as compact and easy to carry around as a smartphone, so you can comfortably operate it with just one hand. Chinese and English languages are available when selecting the menu language.
Ergonomic control panel
The ergonomically designed control panel makes the buttons, dials, and newly added joystick convenient to reach. Adjusting the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and roll axis alignment is easy.
One gimbal - countless modes
Vortex mode, portrait mode, go mode, panorama, time-lapse
Charging time and battery life
The USB-C charging port supports the PD fast charging protocol. This can reduce the charging time to two hours. The battery runtime when fully charged is eight hours. Charging the battery with a powerbank is also possible during operation.
*The protocol of the PD fast charging technology is supported. The maximum charging power for wired fast charging must not exceed 12 W. All of the data provided is from internal research conducted in ZHIYUN laboratories. Note that the collected data may differ to some extent depending on the test environment.
