ZHIYUN Crane M3 S Combo Kit

ZHIYUN Crane M3 S Combo Kit – Precision in a Portable Package

The Zhiyun Crane M3 S Combo Kit is a professional-grade, compact 3-axis gimbal tailored for hybrid content creators using mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and action cameras and is available at Mobihub Electronics Kenya. Positioned between the ultra-light travel gimbals and full-sized cinema stabilizers, the M3 S offers a perfect balance of power, portability, and smart functionality.

Ideal for vloggers, mobile filmmakers, and travel documentarians, the Crane M3 S brings cinema-grade stabilization into a palm-sized device—without sacrificing features or flexibility.

1. Compact, Lightweight, and Travel-Ready

The Crane M3 S is engineered to be ultra-compact while still supporting a variety of devices. With a lightweight chassis, the gimbal is easy to carry, quick to set up, and optimized for creators on the move. It fits comfortably in small bags or backpacks, making it a reliable companion for run-and-gun shooting, travel vlogs, and event coverage.

Despite its small size, it features solid build quality, often made from a combination of high-strength plastic and metal components for both portability and durability.

2. Wide Compatibility with Cameras and Devices

Thanks to powerful motor torque and an adaptive mounting system, the M3 S supports:

• Mirrorless cameras with small to medium lenses

• Compact DSLRs

• Smartphones (with optional phone holder)

• Action cameras (using additional accessories)

This flexibility makes it a multi-purpose tool for creators using a mix of devices—ideal for hybrid workflows or creators who switch between devices often.

3. Professional 3-Axis Stabilization

The Crane M3 S features precision-engineered motors that deliver buttery-smooth 3-axis stabilization. It compensates for movement on the pan, tilt, and roll axes, enabling stable handheld footage even during dynamic motion such as walking, panning, or tracking shots.

The motors are refined for high responsiveness and accuracy, which ensures consistent results even with fast subject movements or in challenging shooting environments.

4. 1.22-Inch Touchscreen for Intuitive Control

A standout feature of the Crane M3 S is its integrated color touchscreen. At just over an inch, this full-color display allows quick adjustments to key settings, modes, and gimbal configurations directly on the device—no app required.

The interface includes:

• Real-time status monitoring

• Quick switching between modes (PF, F, POV, GO, etc.)

• Access to camera control (on compatible systems)

• System calibration and Bluetooth settings

This screen is responsive and user-friendly, helping creators work faster in fast-paced environments.

5. Built-In Fill Light with Adjustable Brightness and Temperature

Integrated into the gimbal’s body is a bi-color LED fill light, useful for low-light conditions or on-the-go shooting. It provides a soft, even source of illumination with:

• Adjustable color temperature (typically around 2700K–6500K)

• Variable brightness levels

• Easy toggling via dial or touchscreen

This eliminates the need for a separate external light in many situations and adds creative flexibility to your kit.

6. Camera Control Over Bluetooth

The Crane M3 S supports wireless camera control via Bluetooth, eliminating cables and improving balance. On supported cameras, users can:

• Start/stop recording

• Adjust photo/video modes

• Control shutter and ISO

• Trigger focus and zoom (when supported)

This adds convenience and makes the setup cleaner and more compact—especially useful for single-shooter setups.

7. Combo Kit Extras

The Combo Kit enhances the standard gimbal package with:

• Quick-release camera mounting plate with memory positioning for fast rebalance

• Camera control cables for wired operation if Bluetooth is unsupported

• Mini tripod for static shots or table use

• Carrying case for organized storage and transport

• Extra fill light diffusers or filters (in some bundles)

These additions make the Combo Kit a complete out-of-the-box solution for serious shooters.

8. Long Battery Life and Fast Charging

Equipped with a high-capacity internal battery, the Crane M3 S offers up to 7–8 hours of continuous use depending on payload and power settings. Features include:

• USB-C charging for universal compatibility

• Fast charging support

• Operation while charging (ideal for long shoots with power banks)

This ensures you can shoot full-day events or travel content without worrying about power interruptions.

9. Intelligent Modes and Creative Options

The Crane M3 S includes several creative modes to help filmmakers experiment with motion:

• Pan Follow (PF): Pan axis responds, tilt/roll locked

• Follow (F): Pan and tilt respond, roll locked

• POV: All axes respond for immersive movement

• Go Mode: High-speed tracking for fast action

• Vortex/SpinShot Mode: Full 360° barrel rolls

• Selfie Mode: Quick reorientation for vlog-style shooting

These modes are easy to toggle via the touchscreen or function buttons, allowing quick adaptability to different scenes or ideas.

10. Ideal For:

• Vloggers and solo content creators using mirrorless cameras

• Filmmakers needing a travel-friendly secondary stabilizer

• Hybrid shooters switching between cameras and smartphones

• Event videographers capturing fast-paced action

• Social media producers who value compact, high-quality gear
