    Two optional servo motors can be mounted on the CRANE 3 LAB at the same time for focus and zoom control directly from the handwheel on the side of the gimbal. Zhiyun offers two dedicated motors, the TransMount Max and TransMount Lite servos. The Max version has enough torque to handle zoom and focus control, while the Lite version provides the torque for focus control. If you'll be switching one motor between zoom and focus control, the Max version is the one you need. But if you'll be mounting two motors at the same time, then a combination of one Max and one Lite version is the recommended solution.
    Featuring aviation grade motors and a different gimbal design, the CRANE 3 LAB achieves 50% noise reduction and 100% increase in motor torque over Zhiyun's previous models.
    The CRANE 3 LAB is designed with a red latch next to each axis for saving the balance positions when powering the gimbal off for storage or battery swaps. When powered back on, the gimbal returns to its balance positions. This way you won't have to rebalance it every time you power it on.
    Via a Wi-Fi connection to an iOS/Android phone or tablet, the CRANE 3 LAB is capable of wirelessly transmitting your video recording to your mobile device as a 1080p image in real time.
    The CRANE 3 LAB's ViaTouch Control System consists of a variety of controls that come up on the ZY PLAY app and allow for framing shots, controlling certain gimbal movements, and adjusting camera settings.

    You're leaving us in suspense and we've got enough of that already. Why should we avoid Zhiyun?

    Debating getting this for BMPCC4K and Sigma 18-35mm. I have the DJI Ronin SC and it can't handle this combo.

They promise more give shit. They dont even fixed weebil s now they are teasing new one...i regret.

    Also agree I will never buy a Zhiyun product again. The software is just atrocious. I had their Smooth Q gimbal and the android software was beyond bad - no support, never updated it.

    I ended up recording something pretty important via their app, it showed recording and everything and then the file was 32 bytes and corrupted.
    They just don't care after they sell you the product.

    I've switched to DJI and have been happy. Osmo Mobile 2 for phone and Ronin SC for mirrorless.

    got in on this last time it was offered at this price... for those asking about the differences between the weebill, for me the crane 3 is more robust, larger payload at 10lbs (my cam is built out pretty heavy and it handles it fine), on top of that, it's cheaper than than then weebill-s at this price... but I do agree, the software really sucks ass, if you are patient and are willing to give it some time (I make my wife do this part because I'm not) then it's a solid deal... if you aren't in the market and can wait for other options from DJI or can afford the ronin-s or the EasyRigs and they work well in with your workflow, style and shoots, I'd also investigate those options. As for reaching out to Zhiyun after issues, yeah... I haven't had the need but don't imagine it would be easy, there are several groups on FB that they take part in, but they aren't US based and it is probably just as others who have had issues explain here. B&H has a good return policy so if you do order, it'd be wise to test it out right away and see if it works with what you do + test in all positions and all functions (upside down, barrel rolls, etc). happy shooting

    Terrible Android SW on all their products. Sadly this is the same for most Chinese Mfg. Their aim is to get the product out, pay for the great reviews (fcking youtubers), "try" to get SW updated and fix and if you can't fck it.
