I have a Sony A7SIII but can't get it to communicate with my Crane 3s. Any thoughts on how to solve the problem? Is it a settings issue with the Sony? It's on Zhiyun's compatibility list and my firmware has been updated. Any thoughts? Thanks!
@@visualpablogarcia No. That was the least of my problems. The gimbal malfunctioned right in the middle of a paid video shoot. The power button gave me the "red light of death" and goes into sleep mode. It won't update firmware, nothing. It wasn't a motor or firmware. Seems that this particular issue is an ongoing problem with the Crane 3s. I have no choice but to return it to Zyihun for exchange. All American companies have severed service ties with Zyihun. Including Best Buy, where I bought it. Note to self. I'll never buy from Best Buy again. If you find a solution, let me know. I suspect it's the camera's firmware but that's just a guess. The A73 will work just fine but not the A7S3. Yet the A7S3 is on the Zhiyun Crane 3s compatibility list. It's really sad to spend so much money for top equipment and not one damned TH-cam influencer, hustler out there has the balls to discuss the problem or a solution, or they fear they'll lose access to free products to review. In the interim, if I find a solution, I'll let you know. Wish me luck. Oh and by the way, this video was one of the reasons why I bought the A7S3 and Crane 3s Pro. What a chump I was to discover that it won't sync or even communicate with the Crane 3s Pro.
@@ToddMcDurmont I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience, but I am not sure what could I have done to prevent that. The title of this video clearly says review with A7 III, I have made this video long before I got the A7S III, so I obviously wasn't able to test the compatibility with A7S III.
@@TheHybridShooter I wasn't implying anything toward you at all. Actually it's a very good and informative video and before the A7S3. I was just hoping that someone here would have an answer to my particular issue.
@@visualpablogarcia no I was not able to solve it. I tried this gimbal with the Sony a6600 and the gimbals record button worked right away without problem. However I'm using the A7sIII and need this gimbal to work with that camera. But how?
Hi, is it generally a problem that the Sony cameras can't controll the AV ISO and TV with this thing? I am relatively new to videography - i have a A6600 and this is the only point, that this isnt a good solut for my cam setup. Thx for the show anyway
Just a mistake, this is the correct one: www.smallrig.com/smallrig-arca-type-quick-release-clamp-for-dji-ronin-s-ronin-sc-and-zhiyun-crane-series-weebill-s-gimbals-dbc2506.html?afmc=xz
Could you please share what setting you used while filming. The overall exposure, colors, fstop seem perfect for getting footage while traveling. Was it just automatic? If so, sony is doing a great job.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks so much for info. It appears that a lot of the viral travel videos are at f8-f10 and they have that floaty "digital stabilisation" look which people seem to like nowadays, and the shutter rule is not followed at all. I went completely overboard with a7iii + 24-70gmaster, (+ ronins S), I see now I should have just gotten 16-35 f4 which has oss. But frankly, it looks like I will be using mostly osmo action.
Thanks a lot 👏🏽👏🏽 How do I get well balanced with my S1H Attached to the Ninja V recorders..? Where the codecs and Raw quality are better than internal of course..
I have ordered the Ronin S2, so I will compare it with that one. For X-T4 I recommend Weebill S. Dober dan is Slovenian BTW, it is Dobry den in Slovak language :)
hello, I just realise that my sony A7ii is not compatible with the zhyum crane 3s, is there a way I can update the camera so that it can connect with the Crane 3s?
Hey Hybrid Shooter. Thanks for this! I still can’t connect my A7iii to the 3S. The menu on the smart handle shows the check mark when I choose sony, but none of the menu items appear no AV, TV and the record button is not responding on the camera. I used both cables…usc to usc and usc to mini. Any ideas?
I wanted to ask you if you could tell me what setting is your engine in? Because I tested from the lowest to the highest and at times it makes a strange medium vibration, I'm sure it's fine to calibrate, but I don't know if my Crane 3S is a fault. something similar happens to you?
Thanks for the review. Personally the lighter the better, I use prime lenses only on Gimballs not zooms. You generally only use a (very) wide angle on gimballs anyway.
You're welcome! Not really, longer focal lengths are also being used a lot on the gimbals, especially in music videos, weddings and stuff like that. 50mm is very common for example.

How do you connect this gimbal with the Sony a7sIII, so that you can use the record button on the gimbal? which settings?
I have the same problem, you were able to solve it
@@visualpablogarcia no I was not able to solve it. I tried this gimbal with the Sony a6600 and the gimbals record button worked right away without problem. However I'm using the A7sIII and need this gimbal to work with that camera. But how?
can it handle the sigma 18-35 smoothly?
Yes.
Hi, I have a sony a7s II but I can't connect it to the crane 3s gimbal in any way? I need help
The best advice is just to use record button on the camera.
Parabéns pelo vídeo, um dos melhores que eu assisti. Parabéns !!!

No, I don’t recommend using remote controls anyway.
Great video. What cable did you use with the crane 3s and Sony a7iii?
I didn’t use any cable, using buttons on the camera is much more convenient.
U got it connected?
Hi mate, can you explain why the arca swiss clamp that you use in the video is different than the one you linked to? Thanks

Could you please share what setting you used while filming. The overall exposure, colors, fstop seem perfect for getting footage while traveling. Was it just automatic? If so, sony is doing a great job.
It was shot at F8, ISO100 and 1/50s. I was managing exposure using variable ND filters.

@@TheHybridShooter sorry, what ND are you using? looks very good

All of the gear is listed in the description.
@@TheHybridShooter thanks again.
Easy to assemble, good strong materials, feels good, looks good.
Thanks a lot 👏🏽👏🏽
How do I get well balanced with my S1H Attached to the Ninja V recorders..?
Where the codecs and Raw quality are better than internal of course..
Mount the monitor to 1/4 mount on the gimbal of course.
Thank you 🙏 will do it 👌🏾
Dober Dan my friend! 🤗
Any comparisons with DJI Ronin gimballs?
And what about Fuji X-T4 gimbal recommendations?
Dakujem!
I have ordered the Ronin S2, so I will compare it with that one. For X-T4 I recommend Weebill S.
Dober dan is Slovenian BTW, it is Dobry den in Slovak language :)
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks William!

It is compatible, only exposure settings won't work, but I don't recommend using them anyway.

Using buttons on the camera - the most convenient a reliable option.
Could u solve your Problem ?
Vertical shoot on this gimble ??????

I just use auto tune it works fine with my setup.
Me too! Same. Auto tune - do it a couple of times.
good video! I have the same team as you. and it is a pity that we cannot control the ISO, Av and Tv through the Crane 3S.🥴
why not?
I have not been able to connect..effectively. Really want to tho!!
Can you balance the sigma 24-70 on the ronin sc? Thanks for this video, was very helpful :)
You're welcome! I unfortunately don't know, I have never tested SC.
The Hybrid Shooter dang thanks anyways though. Greetings from the Caribbean
Why would you go into a Zhiyun Crane 3S review to ask a question that has nothing to do with it?
Very bad gimble Ronin sc ..... West of mony
I can't connect my Sony a7III to Crane 3s. Can anybody help here! Tks😀
I have the same problem, you were able to solve it
Someone solved it?
Do you recommend the A7iii over the R6 by canon?
I have never tested R6, so I don't know.
yes yes and yes. I just started and its worth it
Nice information sir thanks
Nice review...quite a heavy gimbal as compared to moza air2
Thank you, it is, but the performance is also next level.
Perfektní, jako vždy.
Díky moc
Ďakujem pekne!
Sony a7 iii sport karega
Thanks bro
good
it doesn't work with iso, aperture, etc. I can only use one button, record on - record off
Depends on the camera.
Thanks for the review. Personally the lighter the better, I use prime lenses only on Gimballs not zooms. You generally only use a (very) wide angle on gimballs anyway.

I have this Crane 3S gimbal, and it locked up my S1H when connected over the USB C cable on three different jobs.
hello my friends!
you sound like daily dose of internet
