ZHIYUN CRANE M3S | The Revolution for Your Casual Filmmaking

look at these things very carefully now look what I'm doing with [Music] it the biggest reason that I hate using gimbal is okay heavy uh big and complicated balancing and got almost zero portability you got the same issue don't you so I don't want to use it as much as possible wait a minute it's too smooth for you know the this kind of vlogging shot right because I am using a gimbal right now so this is footage from the gimbal so no matter why you know no matter how I walk no matter how I I run

it's smooth because I'm using a gimbal I know it doesn't make any sense but let me explain the reason why I become you know open for using gimbo is this Zan crane M3s okay this is a gimbal in my world the gimbal is something like this it's a classic runin s the big big the big difference so I pretty much haven't tried a newer than that classic running s so I guess I had a you know kind of stereotype about a gimbal I didn't know it evolved like this with a super fantastic usability but anyway how

's it going guys and thank you for coming back to this channel the gimbal has the massive potential to make videos 100 times better why is is not that popular option for us in general you know if we're shooting videos casually like a vlogging traveling something like that not like a serious industry film making stuffs because like I said it's big heavy complicated and expensive but what if I say there is something that can solve those problems at once this Zan crane M3s is the perfect choice for

that today is the collab with Zan no money paid and they're not going to review this video before publishing it just this gimbal changed my you know content creation process and perspective completely so I just wanted to share this experience with you guys and definitely this is going to be great option for those who are considering to get one of gim balls but don't know what to get spec and performance are of course important but more than that usability Mobility the chance to use are way more

important so this Dion cran M3s is the compact legit gimbal with a high Mobility it weighs about 700 g and 850 g with this grip but this got powerful motors which provides you the smooth and stabilized shooting and what's amazing thing is that this is super practical First this has a Bluetooth shatter right here where you can start and stop recording and this touchcreen gives you the easy control of the gimbal when it comes to the easiness this has the quick release system that allows you to ta

ke the camera off the Gimbal and put it on super fast without balancing again so you can change the camera battery easily even though this is light and compact the battery life is amazing it last 7.5 hours and I didn't notice for a while but this has the mini LED light right here come on isn't it amazing and of course you can change the you know the power of the lights and of course you can change the color like the temperature warm to cold and it's so bright and I I can't see the monitor right

now but yeah it's a mini LED light but it's so bright my eyes something is wrong because I just I was just watching this light directly come on give me back give me the sight back see this is so practical and versatile but this has many great features to shoot videos 100 times better there are more great functions and features about this gimbal but before I dive deep in that let me show you guys the you know the essence of the gimbal the stabilization performance first let's do the balancing so

this got three moders tilt roll and pan each has a lock so when you carry this you can hold it like this easily if you take this grip off it can totally fit in your camera back or whatever maybe even in a pocket if you have some loose pants loose pocket big pocket whatever it is the first thing you got to do is be ready at the start position and lock them again once you put your camera on the plate set the camera like when you actually shoot so take the lens cap off all open the monitor adjust t

he focal length like at the middle first unlock the Tilt and make it balanced by the way I'm not going to do the whole how to balce the gimbal tutorial video thing let me just go through quickly so once you finish the Tilt look it again then unlock the roll and balance it so this balancing process makes everything easy because you can do this process one by one you know by locking other axes so you can focus on one thing which makes the whole process easy less uncomfortable and complicated and y

ou do that roll AIS and pan AIS once everything is all set turn it on go to setting Auto calibration that's it plus you can see how the balance is going on visually right here so this time I use Sony A7 C2 and 28 to 70 mil kit lens on this gimbal mainly I test it in the mountain with a pretty bad condition for you know stabilizing footages but look this smooth as if the ground is completely flat actually it was a little rough and not that easy to walk like you can't walk same as you walk on the

street like talking on a phone with a lover like saying yeah let's have a dinner at 6 and then anyway it wasn't flat there was rocks snow plus I didn't do any ninja walk to you know make the things stabilized but this result crane M3s did it all honestly I I didn't expect this much of power because it's compact like this and relatively budget compared to other big gimbals so I was like well I know what's going to happen this must be not enough for mirrorless cameras maybe we don't even have to u

se it you know the active is might solve it I want to kick his ass because he was completely wrong about it I ran ran and ran in the woods on the Rock on the snow I even climbed the wall That's not related but no matter how hard I moved and shook this little guy he was trying his best all the time and its performance was awesome before I know I loved and admired this little baby and thanks to this weight and size I was able to shoot Boll off myself by myself like as if somebody is shooting me ac

tually I was holding this gimb like this with my one arm it was not that hard to hold it even though it was a little unstable with this way to hold it it was able to reduce the shake like this and even when you go to Mountain Travel this crane M3 is pretty negotiable to bring out with you it's super compact easy to set up and it has a great performance you know it can provide you the variety of creative shots even though you are alone if you are not alone don't comment me like I uh hey I'm not a

lone I got friends I got boyfriend I got girlfriend I got wife I got husband I got it I got it it was just metaphor seriously at least I thought this was the perfect gimbal choice for my content creation style and this got many modes pan lock and POV I think those are General function when it comes to the you know recent gimbal but what I like most is this voltex Mode come on voltex I like this word voltex this makes me want to keep saying voltex voltex you can easily get this kind of music vide

o vibe creative shot with this joystick and also portrait mode you can put this grip right here and select the portrait mode then the camera gets vertical this grip makes vertical gimbal shooting a lot easier okay so not only that compact camera setup I test it with a heavy camera setup I use Sony fx30 and 1655 which have a legit amount of weight so just walking is fine I mean it's great at this point because this camera you know weighs pretty much same as this gimbal but it provides this stable

shot even when it's on a voltax or portrait mode the stabilization works pretty good almost same as when it's with a7c 2 but when it changed the angle very quickly and rough it seems that the motor couldn't CCH up with it and sometimes the camera hit the gimbal I was feeling that it was killing the motor so you don't want to use it that rough especially when the heavy gear is on it I think the compact light gimbal concept uh doesn't affect the stabilization performance but at least you got to t

ake care of it I guess you shouldn't trade it that hard it can degrade the quality the stabilization performance and of course you know it can damage Motors but according to Zan this cran M3s has a compatibility with a lot of cameras like this so if your camera is in this list you're fine but if you're trying to put black magic 6K on this current M3s just go luck with that okay this is it hope you guys are having a good time here so how was it Zan crane M3s it was a very first experience to use

the zun gimbal but honestly this changed my perspective about the gimbal it doesn't have to be a pro uh legit expensive gimbal to make footages smooth you know I used to think like okay I got a pretty much only one option no which is to use DJI running s so I for myself not to use it as much as possible because it requires a lot of energy to carry set up you know and operate but after After experiencing this compact light legit gimbal cran M3s now I'm thinking like uh you know this is pretty muc

h enough for me at least for my content creation Style on a daily base use and I can be more flexible and comfortable with this even when I am outside for shooting because I can be relaxed about using gimbal that means you know I get to use it a lot that means I get more chances to get the great creative shot the important thing is not how great it is the true Essence is how often you use it this is not only for choosing a gimbal story it was perfect to tell this message in my case so I use this

topic but this directly goes to the choosing things story in your life what do you need what do you want are you going to use it or you're going to stop using it eventually choose things wise do not let me repeat same thing twice okay this is it if you have any question just shoot me anytime anywhere and if you like this video show me a thumb and the hit the Subscribe and I will see you in the next [Music] video
