Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Gimbal Stabilizer

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Gimbal Stabilizer

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab is an advanced handheld stabilizer (gimbal) for video recording, built to be used with most system cameras and video lenses in the market. The robust rubber-coated handle provides excellent handling and the new L design allows you to either hold the stabilizer in a traditional upright position or switch to an ergonomic lower hand position. It facilitates when shooting with heavy equipment or from a low angle.

It is also possible to mount a mini-handle under the handle to get even better grip and stability when using the normal upright position. With Crane 3, you can easily find the best working position for all kinds of movie recordings!

3-way motorized image stabilization, capable of handling up to 4.5 kg of load
Support for External Follow Focus and Zoom Engines (Accessories)
Use a mobile phone as a wireless monitor and motion sensor
Choose between two positions; upright position or ergonomic down position
Easy-to-use control panel with direct buttons, adjustment wheel and OLED display
Faster and easier balancing with individually lockable shafts

7.5 hours of operation with built-in rechargeable batteries
Extended features with the ZY Play app (for iOS and Android)

Strong, fast and durable

The high-quality engines have been further improved compared to Crane 2 and are now twice as strong, 1.5 times as fast and at the same time noticeably quieter. They now manage to handle a camera device weighing up to 4.5kg and the powerful rechargeable batteries can provide a runtime of 7.5 hours. The batteries are the same as used in Crane, Crane 2 and Weebill Lab (Model 18650) and are charged through the stabilizer's USB port. The charging time is only 4 hours.

Quick and easy balancing

Crane 3 Lab has a new balancing system with a lock on each shaft that allows you to lock some shoulders while balancing another, which simplifies handling. In addition, the current setting can be saved so that you can quickly start recording the next time you want to use the stabilizer.

Support for follow focus and zoom motors

The intuitive interface brings inspiration from airplane joysticks. The handle is equipped with easily accessible direct buttons and adjustment wheels as well as a clear OLED display showing connection status, battery level, stabilizer mode and multiple camera settings, allowing full control over every detail during recording. In addition, Crane 3 Lab supports both Follow Focus and Zoom Motors from Zhiyun (Accessories) and is equipped with separate wheels on the side to control these features. The motors are connected via USB sockets into a module underneath the camera socket.

Use your mobile as a monitor and motion sensor

With Crane 3 Lab it is possible to create a wireless connection to a mobile phone and use this as an advanced controller. With full HD (1080p) wireless video support, the phone acts as a real monitor that will help you compose the image and get an overview of important settings. Additionally, you can use the phone as a motion sensor to control the stabilizer in real time.

Go mode for action scenes

With a simple push of the Go button, the camera and stabilizer are ready to handle extreme sports scenes. Here, the full potential of the stabilizer's all engines is released to cope with fast motion and camera shooting, like running or shooting from a car, cycling, etc. With Go mode, you can create just as action-packed scenes as you wish!

Using the ZY PLAY app (available for iPhone and Android), Crane 3 Lab supports even more advanced features, including Panorama, Focus Timelapse, Motion Timelapse, and Long Exposure Timelapse.
