Hello Gene! I’m a mexican student of Cinematography, and i was going to quit my dream of become a DP until i saw your “Hardest part of freelance” & “Finding work as filmmaker” videos and that’s when i gave it a second thought and right now i’m getting my first jobs on filmmaking. I would really like the gimball because of that jobs, but i didn’t came here for that, just came to thank you for inspire a hopeless mexicano. Ps: mi casa es tu casa if you ever want to come and do some videos in Mexico City :)

I would use the gimbal to save turtles. I work with an association that protect the turtles in the Mexican coast, and usually we make videos in order to search for sponsors of this labor, since our budget usually is low. When it comes to film these beautiful animals, the low angle shot from this gimbal seems appropriated.

In Jamaica you can get a steak and kidney pie for €1.75, a chicken and mushroom pie for €1.60 and an apple pie for €2.15. In St Kitts and Nevis a steak and kidney pie will cost you €2, a chicken pie (without mushrooms) is €1.70 and a cherry pie can be yours for €1.95. In Trinidad ,Barbados ,Tobago, and Dominica that steak and kidney pie comes in at €2.50, but you can two for €3.50, while the chicken and mushroom pie is €2.25, or two for €3.25. They also offer meat and potato pie for €2, or two for €3. Their apple pies and cherry pies are often sold for €2.75, or two (any combination) for €4.75. Those are the Pie Rates of the Caribbean.

we really wish to have this chance, thanks :3

Man, that fall looked painful. I hope you recover quickly and everything goes well. Love the videos. Keep them coming. On the subject of the gimbal, I’d love one to help smooth out my video and streamline my work flow. If I spend less time fixing things in post, I can start turning out more projects. It’s about time I step up my game.

Hey potato! I like your energy! I'm a brand new french filmmaker, so WINNING this gimbal (Zhiyun Crane 3) will definitively help me to level up my videos with this crazy low angle shot ability!!! Wow!

Nice to see you managed to avoid mentioning inches and sizes in this one haha great video as always, that gimbal would help me sooo much in my production work, all the best p.s. get well soon 🖤

Pretty much so I can run around and obnoxiously say "ZHIYUUUUN" in place for "ZOOOM" every time I film something low to the ground 😂

Potato Jet! Thanks for the opportunity of winning this particular gimbal. I will be moving to japan for the next few years and my goal is to capture as much footage as possible. I’m planning to create my own KZread channel about my experience living in japan. Good luck to everyone!

Hey Gene! I’m a 14 filmmaker from Williston Vermont. In a cold desolate area like this having some smooth creamy B roll would be a massive help. Me and my friends create skate and ski films all the time and this would step UP the game so much for us. Everyday I binge watch your stuff, it’s really motivational for me to learn from one of the best. If I were to win this gimbal I would really try harder to make more films, try harder and increase my quality in them. I have a Nikon D5100 that has no stabilization in it at all whatsoever, when I try to get good b roll I really struggle and get sad. Right now my current setup for “smooth” b roll is to use my skateboard. But this still produces shaky images and can only be used on concrete. If I had this gimbal I could go anywhere I wanted and produce beautiful b roll all because of your kindness. I really struggle in school and all the teachers and kids say that I won’t ever make it in the film industry and that I’m wasting my life away, but I’m here to prove them wrong and be a successful filmmaker. After school for 5 days a week I will film and edit a video to get better, BEFORE I do my homework. Filmmaking means the world to me and I’m glad I can share my passion with the community that your channel provides. Maybe one day I’ll get a gimbal after I can save up enough money. I have an allowance that gets me $5 a week. At that rate it would take me 180 weeks just to be able to afford this. I want to get a job but I need to study for school and become a better filmmaker. It will always be my number one priority. No matter what goes on in my life this is the one thing I look forward to every day. I have depression from the constant stress of parents and teachers wanting me to score perfect on all the test. I tell them that I would rather watch and learn from your videos that ever study for English. If anyone is still reading this comment I would just like to thank you for going this far. Potato Jet I kindly ask you to award me this priceless device to me. Thank you so much for inspiring me everyday and getting me though some really hard times. Reply with a 👋 emoji if your still here. Sincerely, Will Devereux. 🙏🏼

I would love this crane as I’ve been looking for more equipment as an inspiring film student

The grip seems really cool. and pretty impressive specs. 4,5kg payload! damn. I would love to have a hands on. love your videos

Ive been dreaming about the crane, the ability to transition from low to standard shooting is incredible. As well as being able to pull off something like a vortex shot like nothing is so amazing. As a visual storyteller having these types of shots being available would greatly expand the capabilities in this one man team!

I'd love to call a Crane 3 Lab my own, since I'm currently working on some cool projects where a couple gibal shots would really help me step um my game!

I'd like to win the competition, because I want to make amazing cinematic shots of living in the moment, and to create memorable clips of my daughter growing up. That way I can have something that she can look back at. Love the content 😊 keep it up

I’ve watched many videos in the zhiyun crane 3 and the dji gimbal and this one I believe really sold me on the zhiyun. The shots you got are shots that I also like to capture so this is definitely going on my need to have list! Thanks

Your videos have become therapy for me 😂 you're personality makes me happy so thanks for being you bro!! Also I'd use the gimbal to film creative dance videos all over the world! Always wanted one but the price is steep for my budget so fingers crossed! 😊 🤞

hello there potato!!!! international student here, defiantly could use this Gimbel :) love your channel!

Would love a gimble for all of my film projects and to grow as a filmmaker!

This is the exact gimbal I want. I havent pulled the trigger on one due to cost but this would be a dream tool for wedding videos, school projects, and real estate.

hands down my favourite youtube camera vlog. never gets dull. ever

The top handle mode on the gimbal would definitely come in handy for different shots. I mean, of course you love shooting UP while the handle it also UP! but srsly would love to win the gimbal and use it for events and some travel stuff!

Get well soon ❤️

Great review as usual, thanks for reviewing this gimbal.

Ever since the local music school that I teach at learned I'm into making videos video and photography they've been hiring me to take pictures of there events for the kids. With a gimbal like this I might be able to get some video work from them to and make some promos for our programs and cover the concerts we put on for the kids. They love getting to see themselves "looking like rock stars," so its been really fulfilling to put smiles on their faces and cover their shows. So, I've accidentally gotten my first paid gigs from them and I hope to keep stepping up my game for them.

dont think u will read this but i really would love tht crane 3 to shoot some cool car shots trying to shoot tht handheld is a real pain btw u better stop trying to do a kickflip coz u need both of your arms to use a camera

That gimbal really makes that camera easy to pick UP (hope you heal up quick from your accident, homie!)

I’m traveling to Germany soon and would love to have such an amazing accessory to film with on my trip!

As I just ordered my EOS R this would be the PERFECT upgrade for my KZread film making!!!! I finally broke down and am moving up from my M50. Not getting rid of the M50 though, just going to use it as my studio camera for when I am filming my work flow. And also as a backup when traveling. Yes, I am a 62 year old KZreadr. But still having fun!!

I really want this Gimbal because my old one, the Feyutech a1000 broke a couple weeks ago.. The warranty is sadly expired and i also dont have enough money to buy me an new one. Im now in High-School and i simply dont have the time anymore to go work for things that i want. I filmed with my Sony a6500 together with the old Gimbal CMVs (ConventionMusicVideos) and my shots looked much better with a gimbal. I also was with the old Gimbal on my trip in Japan. In a couple weeks i will go on a school trip to france and it would be cool if i could film there with this awesome Gimbal! Also its simply better than my old one. I also would want it if my old one would still work haha. Nice Video, i would really appreciate it if i would win ^^

I want that gimbal so I can film you inside the UP house when there is a storm without shaking at all!

Looking to get some smoother footage with my dslr and this would work great! Thanks for the opportunity!

Recently rented out a gimbal for the first time and it made my work so much easier. This gimbal looks like anyone who can be a pro with it. Would love to have it.

Hey Gene! Thanks for creating such awesome content! You're videos are hilarious yet so full of good info. I'd like to get the gimbal to improve the types of shots I take. I've been trying out shots with my tripod, hand held shots and shots with a small slider. A gimbal would help me take more dynamic shots!

winning that gimbal would be cool as you landing that kickflip.

Did you login to my Amazon account and see this in my cart for later purchase? hehe..No seriously, that Gimbal would be super amazing to film cinematic dance videos with. And as a bonus, you would be helping me get a higher end lens since the money wouldn't have to go towards a gimbal. See, you are a double problem solver! Great video sir. ~ Gabriel

Getting a gimbal such as this one would help me out in many ways. I am new to videography and I am creating videos for Barbershop choruses to use for promoting themselves. I love singing barbershop which is why I have been singing it for over 10 years. Its an art form that many are unaware about so creating videos to showcase what it is about is a big thing I want to achieve. From gaining to new singing, to enriching music education to the youth, there is so much that can be done to make this hobby of mine even greater.

NOO!!! Ouch!!! Hope you healed fast! Would love to have this Crane 3 Lab for making movies.

In 22 days i will be graduated architect, despite that, i'm going to continue spend all my efforts into film making. My parents will kill me unless I would soon set up strong handle of life, i mean zhiyun :/
