Looks awesome. Is there a way to control the servo follow focus for the Crane 2 while using the dual handle?

Hey Josh, thank you so much for all the great content and this amazing review! You've pretty much sold me on this gimbal but I’m a little confused about the follow focus. Is there a way to have a remote device (Not a phone) for another person to follow focus with? Does this system only provide follow focus with the focus wheel on the gimbal, or is there a way I can have a dedicated focus puller to have an external monitor and a remote such as the ifocus from mozu air 2. I've been looking everywhere to try and get this answered but can't find it anywhere and would love to be sure before I pull the trigger :) Really appreciate any help, thank you so much! :)

Momentum Productions any word on that remote?

Thanks for the review ! Does it need a different gravity adjustment plate for bigger cameras like c200/c500 etc like it needed in crane 2?

Great video! Is there a way to manually position the camera angle during underslung mode using the top buttons? Or is the joystick the only way? Thanks bud

I’ve just bought and installed both the follow focus servo and the zoom servo. When I connect either one of the two, it works fine, but when I connect both at the same time, only the zoom servo works through the handle rocker. The follow focus doesn’t work. The wheel doesn't do anything. I’ve tried in both movie mode and manual mode and I still have the same issue. I have also set the lens to both AF and MF and I still have the same issue. My gimbal is attached to the Sony a7iii with a Sony 24-105 lens. Any advice on what could be wrong here?

Awesome

omggg i cant wait

Is there word when it is supposed to release? I haven't been able to find any info on it. PLUS Ive already preordered it so just curious.

Fixed handle is brilliant. The design should provide less fatigue. Keeps the shoulder joint nearly at zero degrees majority of the time making the upper arm closer to the center of the body. The amount of shoulder flexion in a sagittal plane flexes under 30 degrees in straight shoot. Man...this is great.

Can you still digitally control the focusing directly with Canon cameras as with the Crane 2?

will it work with my sony fe 28-135mm lense ? AND the focus and zoom motors on , and ND filter, and a Rode mic?

Nice work. What are the focus and zoom motors in the video? how much are they?

Finally some proper battery size, again!

Is the Crane Lab 3 compatible with controlling the Fuji XT-3?

I have trouble using zoom control on Crane 3. I’m using a7r3 with Tamron 28-75mm lens. The zoom control slips a couple of teeth when it’s trying to zoom. Have you seen this issue ?

I just saw the Weebill Lab...is that one just smaller? I'm trying to find the major differences, but not a lot out there.

thank you!!!

Hey! Can I use my Tilta Follow Focus motor with the Crane 3? Thanks

Just bought my Crane 3 Lab (master package) can you point me to the right place to do a firmware update please. Just love the feel of this gymble, much easier to handle.

Yeah thx for this vidéo Josh ! You have a follower from France :) When you have time can you just tell me if it's possible to use the crane 3 "up side down" like the crane 2. (I know the question is strange because ... it's not designed for that but for a complex shot, the gimbal is attached by a rope and i need to use the 1/4 screw on the bottom of the crane.)

Hey! So the FS5 will fit, but yes low angle mode will be tricky. They are currently working on this. Inverted mode will most likely work better for this camera.

I really wanted it and had it preordered. It was supposed to drop Nov. 16. Oviously it didn't. I canceled and got the Ronin S. A few firmware's later and everything has been sorted out and it's a great gimbal.

I've found that the trigger function on the Weebill LAB to control full follow mode was very convenient. Is there a trigger for the Crane 3 LAB for a similar function? If not, did you find that inconvenient at all?

Will this work with Olympus e-m1? Thanks!

I'm curious to see the motor performance with a c200 and a 24-70mm attached. No warp stabilizer. If you happen to get your hands on that combo, would you be able to show a video test of how it performs (running and walking) straight out of camera? Peter Mckinnon did one with the ronin s which was extremely helpful.

External zoom lenses (min 3:11-3:25) Hi Josh, first thanks for this video. At min 3:11 - 3:25 we can see, that you use a lense with an external zoom. So the weight will be more on the front if you zoom. So normally, the gimbal-motors should do the work for a few seconds, but its not good for the motors. Did Zhiyun now made something different/new here? (so that it doesn´t matter for the motors anymore? And you can do this for a long time now?) At 3:23/3:24 (if the zoom-lense is extendet to max) we see a slightly movement down. Does the Crane 3 now a new balancing by itself? Or is it cause by the more weight? Thanks in advance for your quick answer. Greeting Franz

@MomentumProductions1992

5 жыл бұрын

There is a VERY large misconception about the motors. The gimbal has IMU and CPU sensors that judge if the motors can handle the weight or not. If there is too much weight or pressure on any motor, it will simply shut off before causing any damage.

Hi Josh, thank you very much for your answer. I see, that there is a huge misconception and confusing. I think this is caused by the fact, that you hardly (oder event not) find some informations about that topic. *Do you know if the crane 2 act´s the same?* Background is: I just bought the crane 2 (it will arrive today) and after that i noticed, they will ship the crane 3 in a short time. So I´m a bit undecided, if I should purchase the c3 rather than the c2. I know, there are a lot other differences between those two, but this informations i got by my own researching and have my own pros & cons-list for my special needs. Thanks again and rock on Franz
