Introduction to Crane M3

According to Zhiyun Zhiyun, CRANE M3 is compatible with more than 90% of mirrorless cameras and digital cameras currently on the market. The gimbal adopts a quick release design, allowing users to switch between action cameras, DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and smartphones. No rebalancing is required when changing cameras or batteries, making operation easier. In addition, the CRANE M3 has also upgraded the motor and supports PD fast charging. It uses a Type-C charging port, which can be fully charged in two hours and has a battery life of up to eight hours.

The built-in LED fill light of the gimbal

CRANE M3 has a built-in 800 lumens LED fill light, which is very suitable for needing more light and do not want to use an external video light to avoid increasing the load on the gimbal. Users can turn on the fill light by pressing and holding the scroll wheel on the side, and change the brightness by scrolling up or down. This LED fill light can adjust the brightness and color temperature, and the color temperature range is from 600 to 5400K.

Both the standard and kit versions include red, yellow, blue and orange filters to adjust the color of the fill light.

Innovative sound processing methods

The Crane M3 also features an innovative approach to sound processing, the TransMount docking station supports direct microphone connection, and the CRANE M3 Pro bundle includes a shotgun microphone. This direct transmission of sound to the camera and mobile phone through the 3-axis gimbal simplifies the set-up of the shooting, eliminating the need to install additional microphone sockets or audio cables to affect the operation of the gimbal.
