美本转学申请

学生:F同学

GPA:3.8+

TOEFL:98

申请专业:数学

录取学校:约翰霍普金斯大学、密歇根大学安娜堡分校、纽约大学等

求真案例

F同学刚在美国入读大一,他的爸爸就找到了求真教育咨询美本转学申请,因为听说孩子入读的排名60名左右的大学是一所party school,担心他荒废了学业。老师十分理解家长的担忧,学校大环境对孩子的影响确实非常大。在和F同学深入交流之后,老师发现他是个遇强则强的孩子,虽然在美本申请时条件平平,但是潜力很大,如果能从玩着学转变到认真学,这其中的飞越可能会让我们刮目相看。于是建议他们开始着手准备大三转学。

求真助力

大一期末考试结束后,F同学给申请老师的反馈是学校的课程难度一般,想拿A也不是太难。因此老师对他提出了更高的要求,课不能选水课,GPA不能低于3.8。基本的要求和选课谈妥后,老师们就开始着手另外一项重大工程:背景提升。在挖掘了F同学的家庭背景和实践经历后,老师给他安排了两个课外活动,一是社科类的,体现他对弱势群体的关注,通过调查研究并付诸实践,体现了他的思辨和行动能力;二是科研类的,跟着学校教授在国家重点实验室做了两个月研究,体现他的学习能力和科研素养。

有了一系列的铺垫,文书写作的过程可谓非常顺利。求真教育对于文书创作有着自己的原则,不深入挖掘不写文书,不做背景提升不写文书,不了解孩子不写文书。当做到了这三点后,文书就水到渠成了。文书老师把孩子对专业的理解和丰富的实践经历通通融入了主文书当中,呈现了F同学真实的想法和绝对的实力。

求真寄语

不出老师意料,在三月份时,F同学就收到了密歇根大学录取,但是大家心里都在期待着收到更好的消息。终于功夫不负有心人,半个多月后,我们收到了约翰霍普金斯大学抛来的橄榄枝。在众多申请的学校中,这算是F同学和他的父亲最最心仪的结果了。求真教育的老师们也由衷地为他们感到高兴!求真教育有多年美本转学申请的经验,越早进入服务能为申请收获更好的结果。文章来源:https://indeededu.com

Description of 12 Inch Butterfly Valve:

Most of ZECO 12 butterfly valves operated by hand-wheel, wrench and handles, pay attention to the operation speed, neither too fast nor too slow, and exert force at proper position. End position is vital important to valve performance. In Close position, ball shall be at right position to seat. The closure parts of the valve seat so close to the campaign and leave the valve seat, the valve sealing performance depends in part on the relative pieces of stem-driven closure of the valve seat to remain sealed and the resulting mechanical force. If the role of a particular incident in the direction of the closure of the closure of the pressure to close the case up from the seat, and that this power is essential. Most of the internal closure of the sliding piece in the valve seat does not rely on force stem seals, but this type of valve position to close the right thing or not is very important. In some cases, when the closure parts close to the final closed position, the driving force needed to close the case may be greatly increased, to reach the required position has been shut down parts of an auxiliary compression. Close cases are not accessible or not stopped in the customs location will have a seal leak and damage. Butterfly Valves requires right position to guarantee sealing.

2pc Ball Valve

Description of 2pc Ball Valve:

ZECO Ball valve is the same to the ordinary that trim spring with the stem to reach the purpose of open/ close, it is mainly adopted to cut off medium on pipe. It features for simple structure, good sealing capacity, flexibility, small blockage coefficient, easy operation etc. ZECO is the global supplier of 2PC ball valves, which can be divided into 2PC floating ball valves and 2PC trunnion mounted ball valves.

 

Features of 2pc Ball Valve:

  1. As the moving parts of valve, ball, valve stem and handle are an assembly unit. The head of valve stem is shaped a diploid, thus to easily distinguish whether valve is in the “ON” position from handle position. When handle or stem diploid is in parallel with the pipe axis, valves is in “ON” position, when handle or stem diploid is vertical to the pipe axis, valve is in “OFF” position;
  2. When the medium go through the valve, the pressure in middle cavity would pull out the stem. In order to prevent the occasion from happening, a convexity is designed. At the same time, a lubricator device has been added, so even if the fire damage would happen to damage the o-ring, the lubricator device would inject sealing oil to prevent medium from leaking;
  3. When operating the valve, the friction between the ball and the nonmetal seat, like PITE or etc. will produce electrostatic charge that can be accumulated on the ball, To prevent static spark, an anti-static device is placed on the valves to derive the electric charge accumulated in the ball from the static channel between the ball and the stem, or between the stem and valve body;
  4. In order to prevent the mal-operation of the valve, the open/close position can be equipped with lock device, especially when they are used outdoor or process forbidden the malfunction.

3 Inch Ball Valve

Description of 3 Inch Ball Valve:

ZECO 3 inch stainless steel ball valve is usually a floating ball valve, the material can also be divided into casting and forging two kinds. ZECO's continuous improvement in products makes all staff in the factory attach equal importance to small-caliber products in batch. No matter from the aspects of purchase, processing, assembly, testing, spraying, or from the traceability of bar codes, ZECO will treat them as equals and try its best to make products more delicate.

Features of 3 Inch Ball Valve:

  1. Stem surface roughness is strictly restricted between Ra0.4 and Ra0.8, which ensures entry of graphite packing powder into tiny stem scratches to function as a lubricator, minimizing leakages around stem. Max roughness of stuffing box is RA3.2, which is a proper value to hold packing ring in place and result in better sealing performance;
  2. The packing is combination of parallel and vertical layer which is made of die-formed graphite ring processed by flexible graphite, characterizing heat resistance, less stress relaxation and low creep. The special structure means low friction on rotary stem, providing stabilized seal capability for the valve for a long time under frequent functioning;
  3. Lipseal is the spring-energized seal, including Elgiloy or Inconel spring and PTFE jacket. lt's effective in a wide breadth of applications, such as highly corrosive chemical media, high sour gas, low temperature or cryogenic service;

Difference Between Gate Valve and Ball Valve

Difference Between Ball Valve and Gate Valve as follow:

 

The valve core of gate valve and ball vave

The valve core of the ball valve is a ball. Because of its fixed ball structure, the valve is fixed under the condition of high pressure, especially when it is closed. The upper stem and the lower support shaft decompose part of the pressure from the medium, so the ball does not shift to the downstream, so the pressure on the downstream valve seat is relatively small, so the friction force that the valve overcomes when it acts is small, so the valve seat is ground. Small damage, the long service life of the valve, especially for frequently operated valves, this structure is more suitable.

 

The core of the gate valve is a wedge valve plate or parallel valve plate. There is no supporting shaft at its lower part. Therefore, when the valve is in the high-pressure application and in the closed state, the valve plate bears a great pressure from the medium. Because of the flat gate valve plate structure, all the medium pressure acts on the valve plate at the same time, the valve plate will be dead pressed to the downstream valve seat (at the same time, the excessive pressure acts on the vertical surface of the valve plate, making the valve plate whether wedge-shaped or parallel double ram. There will be some deformation), so the valve needs to overcome great friction when it is opened, so the life of the valve printed by the wear of the valve seat is short.

 

Valve seat

There is a spring in the valve seat of the ball valve, and the sealing design of the valve seat makes it difficult for the dregs in the medium to enter the valve seat. The valve seat contacts with the valve ball for a long time under the action of spring, so when the valve acts, the valve seat has a certain scraper function, which can scrape off the residue attached to the valve core after long-term operation, so the sealing performance of the valve can be guaranteed for a long time. Especially in the application of high temperature and high pressure, because the materials of valve seat, valve body and valve ball are selected with the same thermal expansion coefficient and the valve seat with spring structure, when the valve is closed, the huge temperature difference and temperature drop will not affect the action of the valve, and the valve will not be locked. The valve seat is very narrow. In high-temperature application, when the valve is closed because the medium is not circulating, the temperature will drop, so the valve seat will be tightened, which will produce a great pressing force on the valve plate. When the valve is opened again, a large torque is needed to overcome this pressing force, which will cause great damage to the valve seat and affect the service life of the valve seat. Thus, the service life of the valve is affected. In addition, due to the self-weight of the gate itself when the valve is closed, it will bring great impact force and noise to the valve.

 

Itinerary

The stroke of the ball valve is angle stroke, so the installation space is small and the height is low.

The stroke of the gate valve is a straight stroke, so the installation space is large and the height is high.

 

Actuator

Due to the design of the fixed ball, the torque value of its opening and closing is small, so the corresponding actuator is small. Because the valve plate has a large pressing force on the valve seat, it needs a large torque to overcome this large friction, and the actuator is equipped with a large amount of torque.

 

Medium flow direction

Double flow direction, no installation flow direction problem on site.

Generally, it is a single flow direction.

 

Service life

The ball valve has a longer service life, while the gate valve's service life is relatively short.

 

Maintenance

The ball valve generally does not need maintenance, especially the ball and valve seat. Due to the small wear, it does not need to be replaced within 5 years.

 

The gate valve needs regular maintenance due to the large wear of the valve seat

Do you know the difference between spherical and aspheric lenses?

 

The aspheric

When it comes to the lens, you have to mention the aspherical lens. In many people's understanding, the asperical lens is a symbol of high level, and the advanced lens is almost all aspherical lenses.

 

Let's start with what is called a aspherical camera lens. The aspherical lens is contained in the camera lens, aspheric is often calculated according to the surface, some aspherical lens side, the other is not, or both sides is spherical, and so on.

 

In general, a lens with two or more aspherical lenses is a very advanced lens. So, is the aspheric surface a very difficult technique?

We can look at it from the other side.

 

Now, in terms of glasses, the aspheric surface is also very widely used, and in fact, it is no more expensive than the spherical lens. For numerical control grinders, the wave surface can also be made.

Clearly, many people's understanding of the aspheric surface is still stuck in the leica 501.2 myth, which itself has long since been broken.

 

Of course, many people would still use the so-called "grinding aspheric", but don't say what grind the aspheric surface. I believe that for many people, it's impossible to tell whether a picture is not a spherical lens.

 

Is the aspheric surface necessarily good?

 

Even if it's a cock shot, it's impossible for each lens to be aspherical, the aspheric lens is actually a supporting role in the lens, not the main character, the main corrective, the correction function, after the use of aspherical lenses, the image of the edge of the image will be solved well and the picture will be more average.

 

So, is it a good thing to have an aspheric surface? From the current situation, the use of aspheric surface technology has become the standard configuration, especially the high technology index lens, for example, large aperture wide-angle zoom lens, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the picture without the aspheric surface.

 

But in terms of our film fans, the aspherical lens we can use is relatively limited, after all, we use the camera mainly concentrated in the last century 60-90s, until the 90s, aspherical lens or less. Here we're talking about 135, and less in 120. We have seen that CAI has built so many classic Hau shots, such as the 384.5 on SWC, and there is no aspherical lens.

 

In a series of SLR lenses designed by Mr. CAI for nikon, many of them have no aspheric surfaces. But it doesn't prevent these lenses from being a good shot, like chase 50, 1.4 SLR, and the picture is average. Aspherical Camera Lens Better than a spherical lens camera  is ture.

Injection Mold Building Process

  1. Process analysis of plastic products.

Before the die design, the designer should fully analyze whether plastic products conform to the principle of injection molding. It is necessary to consult with the designer carefully and reach a consensus. It includes the necessary discussion of the geometric shape, dimensional accuracy and appearance requirements of the products, and avoids the unnecessary complications in injection mold building as far as possible.

 

  1. Design of die structure.

 

A set of high-quality die not only needs good processing equipment and skilled injection mold builder but also a very important factor is to have good die design, especially for complex dies, the quality of die design accounts for more than 80% of the quality of the die. Excellent die design is: on the premise of meeting the customer's requirements, the processing cost is low, the processing difficulty is small, and the processing time is short.

 

  1. Determining die materials and selecting standard parts.

 

In the selection of die materials, besides the accuracy and quality of products, the correct selection should be made according to the actual ability of processing and heat treatment in the dying factory. In addition, in order to shorten the manufacturing cycle, the existing standard parts should be used as much as possible.

 

  1. Part processing and die assembly.

 

In addition to giving the best structure and reasonable tolerance coordination in the design of the precision of the die, parts processing and die assembly is very important. Therefore, the selection of processing accuracy and methods plays an absolute leading role in die manufacturing.

 

Therefore, in order to reduce injection mold building error, first of all, the processing accuracy should be improved. With the use of CNC machine tools, this problem has been well controlled. In addition, in order to prevent the errors caused by the wear and deformation of the die, quenching treatment should be applied to the key parts such as the cavity and core of the die when the processing precision is high and the output of the product is high. In order to save material and facilitate processing and heat treatment, the mosaic structure should be adopted in die design.

 

 

 

In order to solve the errors caused by uneven shrinkage and inconsistency between pre-contraction and actual contraction, the product tolerance of 1/3 is generally selected as injection mold building tolerance in injection mold building. The purpose is to leave greater room for adjustment in the later forming process, so as to solve the errors caused by the forming process.

 

 

 

5, model test.

 

A set of molds starts from design to assembly, only 70% to 80% of the whole manufacturing process is completed. For the errors caused by the inconsistency between pre-contraction and actual contraction, the smoothness of demoulding and the cooling effect, especially the influence of gate size, position, and shape on the accuracy and appearance of products, it must be checked by test mold. Therefore, die testing is an indispensable step to check whether the die is qualified or not and to select the best forming process.

 

HanKing Mould Enginering Ltd. started the business in the year of 1996 as a china plastic injection mould manufacturers in the line of mold making and injection molding in Longgang, Shenzhen, China. With continuous developments and progresses, we have become a professional Chinese plastic injection tooling company, offering custom plastic injection molding service, plastic molding manufacturing and other mould making services.

Zhiyun Crane 3S Review

The Zhiyun Crane 3S is the latest addition in the Crane series of gimbals. Zhiyun has taken a lot of what they learned from building the Crane 3 Lab to create their latest flagship gimbal. The biggest selling point of the Crane 3S is that it can handle camera payloads of up to 6.49 kg (14.3 lb).

 

Zhiyun has forged a strong reputation for making affordable, yet high-quality gimbals, so let’s see if the Crane 3S follows in those footsteps.

 

It fills a gap in the market

Screenshot 2020 04 13 at 4 31 18 PM

For the last few years, we have had one-handed gimbals that were meant for mirrorless/DSLR cameras and smaller sized digital cinema cameras, or larger gimbals such as the DJI Ronin 2 or Movi Pro that were designed for mid to larger sized digital cameras. There really wasn’t anything that bridged that gap.

 

Screenshot 2020 04 13 at 4 32 18 PM

Moza Air X

One of the few exceptions was probably the Moza Air X. It is the only other single-handed gimbal that I can think of that could handle payloads of up to 6kg.

Screenshot 2020 04 13 at 4 35 08 PM

Sure, there are gimbals such as the Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab, DJI Ronin-S, and Moza Air 2, which could take smaller sized digital cinema cameras with a little persuasion, but that is not what they were primarily designed to do.

 

The Crane 3S is bridging a gap in the market between single-handed gimbals and gimbals that were designed to be specifically used with mid to large-sized digital cinema cameras.

 

With a lot of shooters using cameras such as the Canon C200/C300/C500, Sony FX7/FX9, Panasonic EVA1, and to a lesser extent the Kinefinity TERRA/MAVO and Z-Cam offerings, there is a place for a gimbal such as the Crane 3S.

 

Yes, you could well argue that running a small to mid-sized digital cinema camera on a one-handed gimbal is counter-intuitive, but we will explore that argument a little later on.

 

What cameras will work with it?

 

Screenshot 2020 04 12 at 3 42 55 PM 1

Compatible cameras include the Canon EOS 1DX, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras, Canon Cinema EOS, Sony FS & FX series, and RED Digital Cinema Cameras. You could of course also use cameras such as the ARRI ALEXA Mini, Panasonic EVA 1, Z-Cam series, and any of the KInefinity options.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should

DSC 2519

It is all good and well being able to put a small to mid-sized digital cinema camera on a single-handed gimbal, but is it the best idea? That answer really depends on what you want to do with this gimbal. I see it more as a gimbal you would attach to a crane or car mount than a gimbal people will want to use for regular shots.

 

If you are someone who just wants to get the occasional gimbal shot using their main ‘A’ camera then maybe it makes sense. If you are someone who wants to uses gimbal a lot and needs to hold onto it for extended periods of time then you should steer clear.

 

DSC 6370

In a lot of ways, the Crane 3S is a niche product and it is only going to appeal to a certain segment of the market, it isn’t for everyone.

 

Design

 

Zhiyun took direct design cues from the Crane 3 Lab, and its appearance is very similar. Is it two handles or one handle? Well, it’s sort of both. By designing the gimbal in this way it has allowed Zhiyun to shorten the main handle. The reason behind doing this is to allow the user to get the gimbal closer to the ground for low-angle shots.

Unlike on the Crane 3 Lab, the secondary handle isn’t fixed in a locked and non-movable position.

The Crane 3S handle can be detached if you don’t want to use it.

DSC 6309

DSC 6310 01

The secondary, removable handle has an electronic connection point that slides into the main section of the Crane 3S. This allows power and control functionality.

 

DSC 6308 01

It is simple to remove the handle and even easier to put it back on.

 

Having a secondary handle is supposed to allow the operator to make a smooth transition to and from the low mode. By including the secondary handle you just have to change your hand position depending on whether you want to hold it upright or use it in an underslung position.

 

DSC 6318 01

On the Crane 3S, you can use the control handle, the regular handle, or even the mini tripod stand on the back of the gimbal.

 

DSC 6329 01

If you use the regular handle as well as the mini tripod legs the gimbal becomes very long.

The big difference between the Crane 3 Lab and the Crane 3S is that the Crane3S has been designed to be a lot more modular, which makes it a lot easier to attach and use with industry equipment.

 

You need to hold the Crane 3S with two hands, one on each handle. This does take some getting used to and you need to work out which hand goes on what handle. There really isn’t any right or wrong way to position your hands. Whether you like the two handle design is going to very much be down to personal preference. By going with this type of design, at least Zhiyun has given you options as to how you can hold and use the Crane 3S. You may well find that you prefer holding it one particular configuration over another. I will talk more about how it is to actually use and hold later in the review.

 

If you are used to the Zhiyun Crane Lab 3, then you will feel right at home operating the Crane 3S.

DSC 6294 01

Just like on the Weebill Lab and Crane 3 Lab, the rear arm is also offset so you don’t have the back screen on your camera being obscured when you are shooting. However, with the Crane 3S, Zhiyun has gone a step further and designed the gimbal with a 55° tilted roll axis that provides an even more unobstructed view.

If you need to run an even longer camera, Zhiyun includes an extension arm bracket.

 

You need to use this extension arm bracket if you are running longer camera and lens packages. There weren’t any instructions for how to install it, so here is what I had to do in steps:

 

DSC 6354 01

Undo the four screws on the roll arm.

DSC 6351 01

  1. Undo the two small screws that hold the cable cover in place

  1. Gently separate the arm from the roll axis

  1. Install the extension arm bracket near the roll motor.

  1. Install the extension arm bracket to the roll arm

  1. Reinstall the cable cover and tighten the screws

 

To return the gimbal to its original form you just reverse these steps.

 

High payload capacity

DSC 6369 01

The Crane 3S has a payload capacity of 6.49 kg (14.3 lb). That is a substantial jump from the Crane 3 Lab’s 4.58 kg (10.14 lb) load capacity.

 

In recent times we have seen companies coming out with one-handed gimbals that can accept some pretty heavy payloads. In my opinion, I think this sort of defeats the purpose of having a compact one-handed gimbal. The heavier the payload, the shorter the time you actually hold it for. I think once a gimbal payload reaches a certain point you are better off with a two-handed design. This is especially true if you are going to try and use something like a Canon C300, Panasonic EVA-1, or an ALEXA Mini on a single-handed gimbal.

 

DSC 2523

In my opinion, if you are just going to be running a small mirrorless or DSLR set up, there really isn’t a lot gained by buying a larger one-handed gimbal that supports high payloads. Sure, having the added flexibility to run a variety of cameras on a gimbal is great, but you really need to take into account just how long you can operate a single-handed gimbal with a heavy payload.

 

IMG 8019

So how does the Crane 3S payload capacity compare to other single-handed gimbals? Below you can see:


PAYLOAD CAPACITY

Zhiyun Crane3S

6.49 kg (14.3 lb)

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab

4.58 kg (10.14 lb)

DJI Ronin S

3.6 kg (7.94 lb)

Moza Air 2

4.2 kg (9.26 lb)

Moza Air X

6 kg (13.2 lb)

Tilta Gravity G2X

3.63 kg (8 lb)

 

Above you can see the payload capacities of some of the other one-handed gimbals that are available. As you can see, the Crane 3S payload capacity is almost 2 kg more than the Crane 3 Lab and almost 3 kg more than the capacity of the DJI Ronin S.

 

It still has a reasonably small footprint

DSC 6343

Despite its large payload capacity, the Crane 3S can still be folded down into a relatively small footprint. Look, it is still quite big, but at least the design enables you to fold it down into a workable solution. This makes it a lot more convenient to travel with. This is a big advantage that the Zhiyun models have over other competing gimbals, such as the DJI Ronin-S and the Moza Air 2.

 

Who is it aimed at?

Screenshot 2020 04 13 at 4 04 01 PM

The Crane 3S is aimed at users of small to mid-sized digital cinema cameras and larger mirrorless and DSLR camera packages. Even if you are running a mirrorless or DSLR camera having a larger payload capacity gives you the flexibility to be able to run heavier lenses without straining the gimbal.

 

IMG 8023

A lot of shooters are happy running mirrorless or DSLR cameras on a gimbal and I’m not quite sure how many would prefer to be using their main camera on a gimbal instead. Running a smaller mirrorless or DSLR ‘B’ camera on a gimbal is just easier for most shooters as they don’t want to carry around a larger gimbal like a DJI Ronin 2 or Movi Pro. Whether the Crane 3S tempts shooters to start using their main camera on a gimbal will be interesting to see.

 

What do you get?

DSC 6347

The Zhiyun Crane 3S comes in a foam case that you can carry and store the gimbal in. The case probably isn’t strong enough for air travel, so I wouldn’t recommend you check it in.

 

DSC 6348 01

Inside the case, there are custom cutouts for everything that comes with the gimbal. All the components are easy to see and access.

 

The Crane 3S comes in a case, but once you fit the extension arm bracket it won’t fit back into the case. This is something you should be aware of.

 

You also get a quick start guide which gives you enough information that you can set up and get your gimbal running fairly quickly.

 

Along with the actual Crane 3S gimbal, you also get:

Build Quality

DSC 6271 01

DSC 6251

DSC 6254

DSC 6260 01

The Crane 3S has a similar build quality to the Crane 3 Lab. In saying that, I think Zhiyun gimbals have continued to improve over time and the Crane 3S feels just a little more polished than the Crane 3 Lab.

 

DSC 2528

Despite quite a lot of plastic being used, it’s still a pretty heavy gimbal. All the buttons, switches, and knobs are fairly well made. If you are familiar with Zhiyun products you will be more than happy with the build quality of the Crane 3S. There wasn’t anything that I saw that overly concerned me in terms of how it was built and put together. It looks like it would hold up well to the rigors of field use.

 

The gimbal is heavy

Screenshot 2020 04 13 at 4 02 50 PM

Look there is no way to sugar coat it, it’s a heavy gimbal. Even using a smaller sized digital cinema camera, I wasn’t able to hold onto it for very long before I felt like I wanted to put it back down. This is not a dig at the Crane 3S, I find this to be the case with all of the larger single-handed gimbals.

 

What you do need to keep in mind is that the Crane 3S (with batteries) weighs in at 2.47 kg (5.45 lb). If you were to attach a camera package with a payload of around 6 kg you are looking at having to carry around 8.5 kg. This is not easy to do and you will find yourself putting the gimbal down within a few minutes.

 

How much does it weigh compared to other gimbals? Below you can see:


GIMBAL WEIGHT

Zhiyun Crane3S

2.47 kg (5.45 lb)

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab

1.9 kg (4.19 lb)

DJI Ronin S

1.86 kg (4.1 lb)

Moza Air 2

1.6 kg (3.53 lb)

Moza Air X

1.4 kg (3.08 lb)

Tilta Gravity G2X

1.79 kg (3.95 lb)

 

Batteries & Run Time

DSC 6372

The Crane 3S requires 3x 18650 batteries, and Zhiyun claims a run time of up to 12 hours. Based on my experience using the gimbal I found that the battery life was good and it should easily get most shooters through an entire day.

 

DSC 6373

To remove the battery cover, there is a little locking switch on the top that you need to unlock.

 

Screenshot 2020 04 12 at 4 24 37 PM

If you want longer run times, Zhiyun also now sells an optional TransMount PowerPlus Battery Pack that can house 6x 18650 batteries. It also serves as a compact yet fast-charging power bank for your devices.

 

The TransMount PowerPlus Battery Pack will run the CRANE 3S for up to 18 hours. For camera combos over 3kg, Zhiyun recommends you use the PowerPlus Battery Pack.

 

DSC 6253

There is a DC input on the gimbal where you attach the TransMount PowerPlus Battery Pack.

 

Double Locks

DSC 6255

DSC 6255

DSC 6256 01

DSC 6257 01

Just like the Crane 3 Lab, the Crane 3S Lab features a latch on each axis that you can lock off to make balancing the gimbal a lot easier. Zhiyun has actually slightly redesigned this system and now it features double locks.

 

The double locks are a necessity because you don’t want a heavy camera and lens package falling down or to one side when you are trying to balance it.

 

DSC 6262 01

The nice aspect about these latches is they aren’t made out of plastic, they are anodized aluminum and are not going to break.

 

What I do like is if you are traveling around from location to location you can lock all of the axes and keep your camera on the gimbal. Then when you turn up you can simply unlock them and you are ready to go. This saves you a ton of time as you don’t have to re-balance the gimbal every time you move locations. If you are like me, I tend to leave a camera on a gimbal as I find it too time-consuming to be taking a camera on and off all the time. This is one of my favorite features of the Crane 3S.

 

In saying all of this, it is just as easy to take your camera off as it has a quick-release plate. This allows you to put the camera back on the gimbal without needing to do any major rebalancing.

 

Balancing

DSC 6275 01

Here is where I found the Crane 3S to be very hit and miss. Balancing smaller camera and lens packages like a Panasonic S1H or a BMPCC 6K is relatively easy and straight forward, but larger cameras are a different story.

 

Screenshot 2020 04 13 at 4 50 41 PM

I tried balancing a Kinefinity MAVO LF on the Crane 3S and it was a little difficult. With larger cameras, the balance needs to more exact and things make the whole balancing process take longer.

 

DSC 6261

The other problem I found is that once you have a heavier camera placed on the gimbal, it becomes extremely hard to move the adjustment arms. They require you to use so much force that it is hard to make subtle micro-adjustments.

 

With bigger, heavier cameras it is also hard to make adjustments because you have all of the weight and inertia of the camera fighting against you.

 

Quick Release Plate

DSC 6266 01

The Crane 3S utilizes a Manfrotto quick release plate. Once you attach the plate to your camera you just slide it on and then lock it in place. The locking mechanism hs been slightly redesigned and it is better than the one found on the Crane 3 Lab.

 

DSC 6267 01

DSC 6267 01

DSC 6344

DSC 6345 01

The redesigned plate also lets you attach the included rods straight to the front of the plate.

 

No built-in stand

DSC 6245

The Crane3S comes with a small removable stand that you can attach to the bottom of the gimbal. This allows you to put the camera and gimbal down onto a flat surface.

 

This removable stand is quite small and the problem I found is that it is awkward to unfold quickly, especially when you need to do it with one hand.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Review

In a nice touch, Zhiyun has labeled the tripod stand so you know exactly which way it needs to be turned to remove it or tighten it onto the gimbal. I like little touches like this because it shows me that the design team is paying attention to small details.

 

Mounting Points

DSC 6374

The Crane 3S has a 3/8″ mounting point on the base of the main handle. This is where you can attach the included Mini Tripod Legs, or put it onto a light stand, pole or anything else that you want to use.

 

DSC 6376

There is also a 3/8″ mounting point towards the back of the gimbal. Here there are also two 1/4 20″ tapped mounting holes.

 

DSC 6341

DSC 6340

Zhiyun also includes a mounting bracket that you can attach with two screws to this same mounting point. This allows you to mount other accessories or move the long handle further back.

 

DSC 6264

DSC 6375

Near the back of the gimbal, there are also two rosette style attachment points (one on the left side and one on the right side)where you can attach the optional TransMount Phone Holder with Crown Gear or a monitor arm or other accessory. This is also a 1/4-20″ tapped hole.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Review Optional TransMount Phone holder

Optional TransMount Phone holder

The optional TransMount Phone Holder with Crown Gear really is a must if you are purchasing the Crane 3S. I still can’t work out why they made this an optional accessory and charge $49 USD for it. It really should have been a standard accessory that is included with the gimbal.

 

Wireless Image Transmission

Using the wireless video feed with an iPhone 7 Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab

Using the wireless video feed with an iPhone 7+

First introduced on the Weebill Lab, wireless image transmission is also as a standard feature on the Crane 3 Lab, However, it is not standard on the Crane 3S. The in-built wireless was one of the main features for me that put the Weebill Lab ahead of its competition (when it worked). I hate rigging up an external monitor to a gimbal and I can’t for the life of me judge exposure, framing and focus from a tiny screen on the back of a camera. This is especially true when shooting in bright sunny conditions.

 

With no built-in wireless transmitter, you need to buy the optional module to be able to do real-time monitoring, framing, and camera control (although this depends on the camera).

 

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Review

The image is wirelessly transmitted over wi-fi so all you need to do is download the Zhiyun Play app and then fire up your smartphone. The way it works is that you need to connect an HDMI cable from your camera to the optional image transmission module.

 

The only problem is, and they never show you this in the marketing material, you need to have both the camera control cable and an HDMI cable connected up between your camera and the gimbal. This means you have a myriad of cables sticking out everywhere. You also need to be aware that with certain cameras, if you attach an HDMI cable or use a camera control cable, the back LCD screen turns black.

 

The Zhiyun Play app allows you to adjust and control your gimbal as well as control quite a few functions on your camera (this depends on what camera you are using).

 

Object tracking with the Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab

One of the features in the Zhiyun Play app is the image tracking. This feature allows you to draw a box around an object and then the gimbal will track that object no matter which direction the gimbal is moving. I found the image tracking to be pretty disappointing. It seems to only work when subjects are in the middle of the frame. As soon as they start moving toward the side of the frame the tracking seems to stop.

 

Physical Controls & Layout

 

DSC 6280

DSC 6282 01

DSC 6284 01

DSC 6279 01

DSC 6286

If you are familiar with other Zhiyun gimbals you will find that the basic control layout is very similar to the Crane 3 Lab, but some controls have been repositioned.

 

DSC 6289

Now, this is both good and bad. The good aspect is because of the way the Crane 3S has been designed, you are probably going to be holding it with two hands anyway. The bad aspect is that by positioning the controls and status screen on the rear handle, Zhiyun is forcing you to use it.

 

DSC 2532

If you want to use the joystick control or focus wheel then you are almost being forced into holding the gimbal with one hand on the rear handle and one on the main. If you want to just hold onto the main handle you won’t be able to easily change camera settings such as f-stop etc.

 

In saying this, if you did want to just hold onto the main handle or not use the rear handle, you could attach your smartphone and then make all of your changes there. That way you don’t have to touch any of the controls on the rear handle.

 

You may also find that you will have to hold the rear handle with whatever is your dominant hand. For example, if you are right-handed and you try and hold the rear handle with your left hand you might find it awkward to make changes or operate the buttons.

 

I do, however, like that the display screen is on the rear handle because it makes it a lot easier to see. Having the screen on the main handle doesn’t make a lot of operational sense because you can’t really see it easily.

 

On the rear handle, there is a small display, record button, GO button, buttons for changing the camera setting modes such as ISO and f-stop, and a dial for navigating the menu and making changes. To the left-hand side there are three buttons for changing the gimbals operating modes.

 

DSC 6333

On the rear of the back handle, you will find a zoom rocker. This can be used to zoom compatible lenses or to control the optional focus/zoom motor. There is also a dial underneath the zoom rocker that is for making camera setting adjustments.

 

DSC 6298 01

DSC 6270 01

To the far right of where the camera baseplate goes, you will find the inputs for camera control, and on the opposite side, you will find the inputs for focus and zoom control.

 

On the tilt axis, you will find the camera control input, as well as the inputs for focus and zoom motors.

 

PhoneGo Mode

If you want to follow fast moving objects or people you can enter what is called the PhoneGo Mode. By single tapping on the Go button, the gimbal goes into its maximum follow speed. This is handy if you are filming sports or anything with fast moving motion. This is similar to Sports mode on the Ronin-S.

 

Motion Sensor Control

The gimbal has a built-in motion control sensor, so if you don’t want to use your smartphone on your gimbal, you can take it off and turn it into a motion sensor controller. By simply moving your phone, you are controlling the gimbal in real time. This is a nice feature and it’s impressive that it is a free built-in feature in the app. If you have used Mimic with a Freefly Movi or the controller mirror mode on the Ronin 2, it is a similar feature.

 

It does take a bit of time to get used to how it works, and it is not the most intuitive way to operate your gimbal, but once you get the hang of it it works fairly well. This feature can come in handy if you are using the gimbal on a jib or as a remote head.

 

Focus & Zoom Motors

Getting critical focus, especially when shooting 4K on a full frame sensor camera is hard at the best of times. In the last 12 months or so we have seen quite a few follow focus systems emerge for gimbals. The Crane 3S has a built-in focus controller on the gimbals handle, but they also have two optional follow focus (or zoom) motors that are available. On the Crane 3S you can connect up two follow focus motors, so you can use one for focus and the other for zoom.

 

The TransMount Lite Servo Focus and Max Servo Zoom/Focus Controllers

The TransMount Lite Servo Focus and Max Servo Zoom/Focus Controllers

Now, there is actually two different versions of the motor available. One is the TransMount Lite Servo Focus Controller, and the other is the TransMount Max Servo Zoom/Focus Controller. While they look similar, the TransMount Max Servo Zoom/Focus Controller is slightly larger. Both Controllers will work on the Weebill Lab as well as the Crane 3 Lab and the new Crane 3S.

 

What's included with the TransMount Focus Motor

What’s included with the TransMount Focus Motor

Included with Focus Controllers are the mounting bracket, a 15mm rod, and the power, control cable.

 

Both Focus controllers feature a tool-less design, and they attach to the gimbal using just the included thumbscrews. To attach, you secure it to the supplied support bracket and mounting rod using two thumbscrews, and attach this assembly to the bottom of the gimbal’s baseplate with the third thumbscrew. You then connect the servo to the gimbal with the provided USB cable and connect the camera to the gimbal with one of the camera control cables the gimbal comes with. The USB cable connection provides zero-latency signal transmission.

 

The external follow focus can be controlled in two ways, one is through a tactile wheel on its body, or through the app directly on your smartphone screen. If you use one as a zoom, you can also control it via the app or through a zoom rocker on the gimbal.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Review

The Zhiyun TransMount focus motor is pretty much silent

The external follow focus motors are relatively lightweight and certainly do work. You just hook it up to the gimbal with a cable and then you can control focus directly on the side of the gimbal. The motor is absolutely silent and doesn’t make any noise at all.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3 Lab Review

With the follow focus motor you get a couple of rubber lens gears that you can use on lenses that don’t have pitch gears. These work reasonably well, you just have to make sure you have then tight enough around the lens so they don’t slip or move. I found they were a little fiddly to put on to your lens and secure tightly.

 

While there is absolutely nothing wrong with how the motors operate or perform (with stills lenses) they do take a bit of time to install and set up. The whole process is a little fiddly and time consuming and by the time you add the rubber lens gear and attach another cable between the gimbal and the motor you end up with cables and bits and pieces everywhere. I think it would have made more sense to design a wireless system that communicated with both the gimbal and the app so you didn’t end up with so many cables. I would have also preferred to see the motors feature an inbuilt battery so they could be used without the gimbal.

 

How does it actually perform?

DSC 2538

Features are great, but at the end of the day it’s still a gimbal, and therefore it needs to be able to create smooth shots. So how does the Crane 3S perform? The gimbals stabilization is, for the most part, nice and smooth, and with the increased motor strength it never really feels like its struggling even if you are running very heavy camera payloads.

 

While it works well, it is heavy. The package I was running, including the weight of the Crane3S, tipped the scales at 6.8kg (15lb). If you take away the weight of the gimbal, and the SmallHD monitor and arm I was still 2.2kg short of reaching the max. payload capacity. I wouldn’t want to be holding a gimbal package that was 2kg heavier than the one I was using!

 

 

I did find a problem that if you had the adjustment arm where the camera sits all the way out to its full extension the tilt motor would vibrate violently and make a lot of noise. This is obviously a design flaw.

 

I found that the majority of the footage I got was very smooth and usable, and the gimbal performed well. Like any gimbal or Steadicam, results will vary depending on how proficient you are as an operator.

 

 

Above you can see some quick example footage captured with the Crane 3S. This is not a collection of pretty shots, as all I was interested in is to see how the gimbal performed and how it was to operate and use, especially with a heavier camera package.

 

 

Above you can see some shots taken at a higher frame rate. To be honest his tells me nothing about a gimbals performance. Any gimbal shot looks good in slow motion.

 

IMG 8016

As this gimbal can be used with a variety of cameras I also decided to do a couple of quick tests using a Nikon Z6. I wanted to see how the gimbal performs with a lighter camera.

 

 

 

Above you can see some vision from the Z6 and a Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 lens.

 

Like any new product there is always going to be a learning curve. It is very hard to make a comprehensive conclusion as to the performance of the gimbal without using it over a prolonged period of time.

 

One-handed gimbals always have the inherent problem of creating quite pronounced up and down movement when you are walking. This is due to the momentum of your body moving your arm up and down. With a two-handed gimbal, this is easier to control as you are essentially locking your shoulders to create a more stable platform. The Crane 3S actually does a fairly good job with this, although just like any one-handed gimbal, you will still get a slight up and down movement when walking.

 

DSC 2548 1

DSC 2549 1

The design of the Crane 3S does make it easier to get low angle shots and transition from a low angle to a normal level. Having two handles certainly does make a difference when doing these type of shots.

 

DSC 2546

I also liked that because the gimbal is quite long you can actually use it to do dolly style shots.

 

DSC 2563

It is nice to use the two handles on the bottom of the gimbal because you can actually use it as a sort of brace against your leg when you are resting.

 

Screenshot 2020 05 21 at 3 10 58 PM

You can also use the two handles to place the gimbal on the ground to get a regular low angle tripod style shot.

 

DSC 2560

Another benefit of the two handles is you can elevate the gimbal quite high. This allows you to create some interesting perspectives.

 

Screenshot 2020 05 25 at 10 10 11 AM

The problem I found when running a larger camera package and using both of the handles on the bottom of the gimbal is that to hold it comfortably you have to place your hand a long way down on the handles. When you do this you can no longer reach the joystick, so if you wanted to pan the gimbal left or right or up and down you can’t do it.

 

As far as the actual performance goes, I didn’t feel like it was that much different from any other Zhiyun product I had used.

 

The focus control wheel is located in a position where it isn’t that easy to use due to the way you have to hold onto the Crane 3S.

 

When you use your smartphone in the optional cradle I found it very hard to make changes without putting the gimbal down. To make changes you need to take your hand off the main handle, which means all of the weight gets transferred to the hand holding the rear handle.

 

To be perfectly frank, you are almost always going to be able to get better results from gimbals such as a Movi or Ronin. One handle gimbals have their limitations, but what you sacrifice in performance, you make up for in portability.

This is an interesting one, because if you want to run camera and lens payloads that are over 5kg, there aren’t many options unless you want to go to larger gimbal such as a DJI Ronin 2 or Movi Pro.

 

Realistically, if you want to stick to a smaller, more compact gimbal solution that is easier to travel with, the Crane 3S is arguably the only solution.

 

Price

Screenshot 2020 05 25 at 10 46 56 AM

The Crane 3S comes in a range of different configurations.:

 

Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 3S Handheld Stabilizer $739 USD

Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 3S PRO Handheld Stabilizer $1,149 USD

Zhiyun-Tech CRANE 3S-E Handheld Stabilizer $649 USD

The Crane 3S is more expensive than most other single-handed gimbals, but it does have a much higher payload capacity.

 

For the price, it represents very good value for money. As a comparison, a DJI Ronin 2 retails for $8,399 USD. Yes, it has a payload capacity of 30 lb, but before the Crane3S came along you would have had to use something like the Ronin 2 to run a rigged up Sony FS7.

 

Conclusion

Screenshot 2020 05 22 at 2 34 15 PM

Zhiyun has certainly made a product that will suit some shooters, especially if you have been wanting to run a mid-sized digital cinema camera but didn’t want to spend a ton of cash.

 

Does it get heavy? Yes. Do you have to put it down after a few minutes? Yes. If you want smaller sized gimbal that can run heavy payloads the trade-off is going to be the time you can spend using it before fatigue sets in. This is something you clearly need to understand if you are going to use it.

 

Unless you want to use it with an Easyrig or something similar you may find yourself saying more expletives than normal.

 

This is not a gimbal for everyone and you really need to think long and hard whether it is what you actually need.

 

I personally don’t like heavy one-handed style gimbals, but that’s just me. If you can’t hold a one-handed gimbal for more than a few minutes without having to put it down then that is a problem. I am less likely to use a gimbal that I can’t hold for more than a couple of minutes than one I can hold comfortably for a lot longer.

 

I have to give credit to Zhiyun. They are constantly improving their products and they have been at the forefront of innovation and features when it comes to single-handed gimbals.

 

I’m not a big fan of using heavy gimbals if you are just running smaller DSLR or mirrorless cameras. In that regard, for me at least, I prefer the smaller Weebill Lab or the Crane Lab 3 over the Crane 3S. In saying that, using a larger gimbal puts less stress on the motors and does give you more flexibility to use larger lenses and bigger cameras, but that does come at the expense of usability.

 

Zhiyun has certainly thrown everything but the kitchen sink into the Crane 3S, and there is no denying that it is a very feature-rich gimbal. Despite all of the features and pizazz, it’s nice that you don’t need to use any of them if you don’t want to. Zhiyun has managed to still make a gimbal that can be used for both simple and more complicated shots and is versatile to handle a large range of camera and lens packages.

 

The gimbal itself performs pretty well, but it’s not perfect.

 

The new latches are a really nice touch, but to be honest, I think they are there out of necessity more than anything else.

 

The optional electronic follow focus and zoom motors work well, but in all honesty, I’m not sure how many people are actually going to use this. As it only works on a gimbal, it’s not a very flexible product. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to have, but for me personally, when I use a small gimbal it’s usually with a wide-angle lens where you don’t tend to adjust the focus and zoom that often.

 

The wireless video and app that allows you to monitor the images from certain cameras and make changes have all been improved by Zhiyun, to the point where it is much more reliable and easier to use. The image quality of the wireless signal is a lot better than it was with the Weebill Lab, but it still has some latency issues every now and then.

 

In summing up I think Zhiyun has made a reasonably good gimbal that certainly offers pretty decent value for money, although it is a fairly niche product that is not going to appeal to everyone. Its performance as a gimbal is pretty good and the fact that you get so many included features is bound to make it a popular choice for shooters looking for a compact, easy to travel with gimbal that can handle larger camera packages.

 

The biggest caveat is the weight. Carrying around a gimbal and a payload that weighs upwards of 8Kg is a back, shoulder, and arm breaker.

 

If you are planning on buying the Crane3S you better hit the gym!

Zhiyun Crane 3S SmartSling Kit Review

OUR VERDICT

The Crane 3S is a next-generation motorised gimbal stabiliser. It packs in the features and has one of the heaviest payloads for any single hand gimbal on the market. But this is far more than other gimbal stabilisers, and with the modular grip design it can be used in multiple ways; use it on its own to get smooth handheld footage or use as part of a larger rig. However, you use it the Crane 3S is a formidable force for capturing cinematic footage.

 

hat is the Zhiyun Crane 3S SmartSling Kit?

The gimbal stabiliser market has exploded in the last couple of years as theses clever devises enable you to capture professional stabilised footage with your standard DSLR or mirrorless camera.

 

In the past, this level of stabilisation was the preserve of professionals who could afford the equipment and training. While gimbals have been around since the ’70s, it’s only with the latest motor and battery technology that the gimbals have both reduced in size and cost.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3S review

Zhiyun is a company that has been at the forefront of the advancement and development, and while they may not be as well know as DJI they are on a par, and their Crane series of gimbals is a firm favourite for many videographers.

 

In this review, I’m looking at the Crane 3S SamrtSling kit. This includes the additional SmartSling Handle that bolts onto the horizontal grip of the stabiliser. Once attached it gives you more holding options as well as control over the operation and settings for many cameras.

 

As previously mentioned the Crane series has a dedicated following, two close videographer friends swear by the features and build quality of theirs, and this is the latest and most advanced version yet.

 

When it comes to features, there’s little that this gimbal doesn’t feature, and this version boasts a max payload beyond that of many others on the market.

 

However, while compatibility is rapidly expanding for the Crane 3S, not all features and options are available to all cameras.

 

That said, there’s still plenty on offer for one of the most robust and sophisticated gimbal stabilisers yet.

SPECIFICATION

Product type: Stabilising gimbal

Max Payload: 6.5kg

Battery life: 12 hours

Feature App : ZY Play

DC-In: Yes

Camera Control: yes

Features

The Crane 3S comes in three different kits with modules that differentiate each. Each of those modules is available separately so you can upgrade from one to the next as required.

 

The EasySling is the first option and features the gimbal along with an additional handle that can be bolted in for more significant support.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3S SmartSling

The SmartSling, which is the version I’m looking at in this review, features the SmartSling handle that again bolts into the gimbal and provides the same support but has integrated camera controls.

 

The Pro kit features the EasySling and SmartSling along with the Servo Zoom and Follow Focus Motors.

 

Before we look at the features, it’s worth pointing out that each configuration will only work with certain cameras and lens combinations. Zhiyun have a comprehensive compatibility list on their website which can be seen here: https://www.zhiyun-tech.com/search/en

 

If you have a compatible camera, such as with the Panasonic GH5 then the Crane 3S is a formidable piece of kit, if you own the Sony A7 III then it’s still a formidable piece of kit but you’re are limited to basic camera control and the powerful stabiliser.

 

At present, the SmartSling and App have compatibility with many cameras including the Nikon D850, Z6, Canon 5D Mark IV, 6D and R, Panasonic GH5 and Sony A7R3. This list is rapidly growing, so do check out the website for your camera.

 

Basic features

The Crane 3S SmartSling kit includes the main gimbal, mini tripod, SmartSling a few accessories and cables and the free to download app.

 

One feature that instantly makes the Crane 3S stand out is the maximum payload which is 6.5kg; this compares to the DJI Ronin-S at 3.6kg. This additional payload does one of two things, the first being that it enables you to stabilise far heavier cameras, the second being it’s a little more forgiving.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3S motor

Unlike other single-handed gimbal stabilisers, Zhiyun has concentrated on comfort. As well as the usual foldable mini tripod base that converts to a grip in use there’s a horizontal grip and then the addition of the SmartSling. This multi-grip design makes the Crane 3S easier to hold than other gimbals, even with a heavy camera and lens combo, although it is heavy.

 

Adaptability has also been well-considered, and the Crane 3S is one of the few gimbals of this size that can quickly adapt from being handheld to being part of a larger rig or mounted. There’s plenty of mounting options.

 

As well as the ability to adapt the grips to your needs, the arms and mounts can be adapted to support small and large cameras better. This means that you can use the Crane 3S with a Sony FS7 then switch to a small Sony A7 III mirrorless if you so wish.

 

The gimbal lock design has also been redesigned compared with the previous version, and this gives more security when being transported.

 

The Crane 3S is supplied with three batteries that provide power for 12 hours with a 3KG load.

 

The Crane 3S SmartSling Kit without the camera or baseplate weighs in at 3.08kg.

 

There is also the option for DC in, which supports the new 25.2v TransMount PowerPlus battery pack. This gives the Crane extended use time to 18 hours and is ideal on professional shoots.

 

One of the issues that affect many gimbal stabilisers of this type is the effects of high wind and G-Force that reduce the usual stability the Crane 3S would provide. Engineers have worked hard to counteract these forces with an all-new algorithm that promises to enable you to capture smooth shake-free footage however fast the action.

 

Another feature that has been carefully considered is the 55º tilted roll axis that has been accurately calculated and ensures that you always get a good view of the camera’s screen and have plenty of space to mount cinema, camera lens combos.

 

When it comes to the mechanics of motion it has a tilt range of 360º, Roll range of 330º with a max of 75º and min of -255º and pan axis of 360º. This gives plenty of flexibility and control.

 

 

 

Mediavine

Other features available with additions

While the SmartSling does have a good level of features, you can further add to the functionality with the addition of modular motors and wifi kit, which are available for an additional cost.

 

On the side of the gimbal, there’s a built-in focus wheel. To use this, you’ll need those add on servo motors and of course a compatible lens.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3S review

On the SmartSling there’s also a built-in zoom rocker, again this requires a compatible camera and lens to use.

 

Another exciting addition that you could add is the CRANE 3S X TransMount Image Transmission System.

 

This enables you to control and transmit visuals directly from the camera connected gimbal to a smart device. Again check the compatibility for this, and the feature also requires additional equipment.

 

Then there’s ViaTouch 2.0 which is part of the TransMount system and enables seamless communication between the gimbal, camera and smart device all using the ZY Play app that needs to be installed on a smart device. Again you need the additional kit to take advantage of all the features.

 

ZY Play App

The ZY Play app is where most of the advanced features reside.

 

Once your camera is wired into the gimbal, say a GH5, you can then take control of your camera, adjusting the values and some shooting settings as well as starting and stopping recording.

 

The app also packs in some interesting features such as Panoramic, timelapse and trajectory photography.

 

Build and Handling

The Crane 3S once assembled and balanced is solid and features the usual three-axis mechanism that enables the motorised stabilisation.

 

Real attention to detail has been paid throughout the design with independent locks for each axis. These locks help protect the motors and arms during transportation and make it easy to pack away; they’re also used when balancing the camera at set-up.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3S Easy view of screen

There is little to fault with the manufacture of the Crane 3S other than to say that this is not a small or lightweight piece of kit.

 

Key features of the design are the axis locks, DC-in on the side, plenty of accessory ports both for digital and physical additions, the SmartSling handle that slots and locks and the variety of other mounting threads, both 1/4 and 2/3-inch giving plenty of options and versatility.

 

 

 

Mediavine

Initial assembly and balancing

As with most motorised gimbal stabilisers, a little assembly is required before you get started, it’s also worth downloading the app, ZY Play.

 

The first part of the assembly is the mini tripod which bolts to the main gimbal, once screwed in the gimbal can then be placed on a flat surface and the SmartSling slotted and locked in.

 

Next, dependent on the camera the base plate is bolted on, if you’re using a mirrorless or medium DSLR, then you’ll probably need the riser plate as well.

 

This additional plate gives the lens a little more space and is required for balancing with smaller cameras.

 

Once in place, the lens support can be slotted on to the base plate, and the Y section raised to rest against the lens.

 

It’s worth noting that if you’re using a zoom lens and you intend to zoom in and out without rebalancing, then the zoom needs to be placed at the midway focal length. For an example using a 24-70mm, something around the 50mm is a good midpoint and means that there is less for the gimbal to do to correct the slight imbalance if you zoom in or out0.

 

Now the baseplate is slotted into the gimbal and making sure the tilt axis is unlocked, you slide the camera back and forth until it finds a balance.

 

Once the camera balance has been found, the lock can then be secured. Now the tilt axis can be balanced; this involves moving the arm up and down until the camera holds it’s a position.

 

Next, you repeat a similar procedure for the other two axes. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but Zhiyun has created superb videos that walk you through the process.

 

The final stage is to connect the cables, and this will differ depending on the camera you have. Again check the compatibility chart on the website to see what functions and features will be available for your camera.

 

On the Panasonic GH5, most of the features such as focus and camera settings and control are all available, on the Sony A7 III you can only really start and stop recording and take photos. In both cases, you’ll need to ensure that your camera has been updated with the latest firmware.

 

Now that the camera is balanced and connected, you’re almost set to go. Switch on the gimbal, then the camera, and finally connect the app.

 

Once the app boots, you need to select the manufacturer through the settings screen, and that’s it, you’re ready to shoot ultra-smooth video or use the app to shoot timelapse and panoramas.

 

Performance

For the bulk of this test, I used the Sony A7 III with a variety of lenses. The first thing to note is that if you thought the DJI Ronin-S was heavy, then the Crane 3S is another level up.

 

However, the design of the Crane 3S does give you plenty of handling options, and if shooting for a day, I would recommend a Flycam Flowline or similar.

 

And that’ss the thing with the Crane 3S, it gives you options, and that’s something that other gimbals just don’t do.

 

Using the Crane 3S with the Panasonic GH5 was seamless, the two are ideally matched, and the compatibility between the two is incredible.

 

The gimbal smooths and stabilises the footage, and there’s plenty of control over the settings through the SmartSling.

 

Switching to the Sony A7 III and the gimbal still works well, although you lose the ability to change settings through the SmartSling, the loss of the LiveView through the app is also a shame but not a deal-breaker.

 

What does become apparent very early on is that the Crane 3S is very forgiving? Those motors are designed to carry the load of a professional stills or video camera, so a small mirrorless is easily balanced and held.

 

That leniency does have a limit, and if you hold the gimbal to close to the max or minimum rotations when the camera isn’t quite balanced, you will get a small amount of judder.

 

During the test I found, especially for low angled shots, that on occasion there was a slight judder from the motors. If this happened, a quick rebalance would quickly correct the issue.

 

A cruder fix was just to tilt the handle up slightly to give the gimbal a little more room to play. These are user-related issues rather than anything with the gimbal; it’s just that the power of the motors forgives the user being a little lax with the setup.

 

The results of the stabilised footage are impressive. Handheld and static scenes showed the framing and hold on composition are excellent; there’s a natural smoothness to the look of the footage.

 

Setting out on a brisk walk and trying to tailor the walk to avoid any bobbing and again the Crane 3S does a great job enabling you to capture smooth professional-looking video with ease.

 

The final stabilisation test was to take the Crane 3S for a run. Not a long one, as it weighs quite a bit, and here you can see just how impressive those motors and new algorithms are.

 

OK, the speed wasn’t overly fast, but the terrain was pretty rough, and downhill and you can see just how well the motors work to create a smooth pan.

 

There is a slight jerk in the footage just after a jump, but the Crane 3S manages to smooth this, so it looks like a small blip, whereas it was me momentarily losing my balance and only just recovering from a possible face plant.

 

When it came to the stabilising performance, there was little to fault.

 

However, in use, there are a few things that I did highlight. The main one was access to the joystick under the horizontal handle. The spacing here is tight, and sometimes it can be a little tricky to get the full range of movement that you want.

 

Also, I would have liked some control on the SmartSling over the motion of the axis, maybe the zoom could operate tilt, and the index finger jog wheel could operate the side to side movement. Still, unfortunately, I couldn’t see a way to customise these buttons and dials in this way.

 

The final part of the Crane 3S that I have mentioned but not in any depth is the app. ZY Play is used across the Zhiyun gimbals and offers added features for the gimbal as well as adjustments.

 

The interface is well laid out but does take a little time to orientate correctly. The two main highlights from the app are the timelapse which enables you to capture stunning timewarp style footage and the panoramic option.

 

The Panoramic setting enables you to set a start and stop point, and then the gimbal works out how many shots are needed and automatically shoots the sequence. It’s a feature that has been common across gimbal stabilisers but nevertheless is still impressive.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3S review verdict

The Crane 3S is an impressive piece of kit, and what I liked about it was the flexibility. If you’re working solo, then there’s plenty of features that will assist you with the shoot; such as the ability to attach accessories and hook up to additional supports.

 

It’s also incredibly easy to balance due to those powerful motors and the axis locks help out as well.

 

Zhiyun Crane 3S grip

The build is solid, there’s nothing dainty or weak about the construction, and it feels like a real workhorse.

 

That solid build and power do come at a price, and that’s the weight, you do need to be fit to shoot with it unaided for a day, but again Zhiyun has thought of that with all those connection options.

 

The real test comes down to the compatibility and quality of stabilisation.

 

On the first point, compatibility is increasing, and already through the test, all cameras that I tried with the gimbal had an acceptable level of control. If all could have the levels attributed to the Panasonic GH5, then that would be amazing. Still, even with just the ability to start and stop recording, take pictures etc as with the Sony A7 III, that was still enough to make this a worthwhile purchase.

 

The primary function of the Crane 3S is to provide you with a platform for shooting smooth video, and to that end, this motorised gimbal stabiliser excels.

 

So, yes this is a fantastic product, but who should buy it? For most enthusiasts the price and size will be off putting, it is just above the needs of those just starting out or looking for something for occasional use.

 

However, if you’re a professional or filmmaker, then the Crane 3S gives you more options than other similar products. Mainly the ability to mount in a variety of ways making it incredibly flexible in use.

 

Attach the Crane 3S to a Crane, rig, flowline, dolly or any equipment that enables motion, and it won’t let you down.

 

Handheld some might find it heavy, you’re looking at a minimum of 5kg, but during several tests out in the field, I carried it for well over an hour without issue. The design of the handles makes it easy and comfortable to carry when not filming.

 

When filming, I could happily control the gimbal position for around five minutes before a quick rest and the more you use it, the more you discover the comfortable positions to hold.

 

Overall I have to say I was blown away with the quality of the Crane 3S. Its performance throughout was excellent, and for handheld static and motion shots, the quality of the stabilisation was exceptional.

 

For faster-moving and running shots, the Crane 3S really stood out.

 

For any professional videographer or filmmaker needing a highly versatile gimbal then there’s really nothing else this good at this kind of size and price.

Brazil Economy Exports

In response to the grim situation of the domestic economic recession, Brazilian President Rousseff announced on the 24th the "National Export Plan" at the Presidential Palace, aiming to boost economic growth by expanding Brazil economy exports.

 

Rousseff said that Brazil is the seventh largest economy in the world, but its export revenue is only ranked 25th. She said that encouraging Brazilian economic exports will be an important measure for the government to resume economic growth in order to stimulate the economy, increase competitiveness and increase employment.

 

To promote exports, the Brazilian government will adjust a series of policies including diplomacy, industry, finance and taxation. Rousseff pointed out that in foreign policy, Brazil will be committed to "prioritizing new markets." She said: "We will reach an agreement with any country and region without prejudice." She also stressed that the negotiations with the EU's free trade agreement will strive to make a breakthrough before the end of the year.

 

In terms of industrial policy, Brazil will focus on encouraging exports of manufactured goods and services, especially engineering exports. Rousseff said that in view of the fall in international commodity prices, exports of manufactured goods and services are expected to increase the added value of products. To this end, the government will be complemented by a proactive fiscal policy, and the budget for subsidizing corporate exports this year will increase by 30% to R$1.5 billion (about US$500 million). At the same time, the National Economic and Social Development Bank will strengthen export credit.

 

In terms of tax policy, Rousseff promised to gradually increase the export tax rebate rate of enterprises from the current 1% to 2% in 2017, and will further increase to 3% in 2018.

 

The report released by the Brazilian central bank on the same day predicts that the Brazilian economy will shrink by 1.1% this year, while the inflation rate will rise to 9%.

Global Trade Volume Data

According to the Ministry of Commerce, the WTO has released the world trade statistics report. From the global trade volume data, the world trade in goods and services nearly doubled from 2005 to 2015. After a modest rise from 2012 to 2014, world energy prices fell by 45 per cent in 2015. Regionally, Asia, Europe and North America accounted for 88% of the total trade in goods of WTO members, and the share of developing countries in exports increased from 33% in 2005 to 42% in 2015. Meanwhile, trade between developing countries rose from 41 per cent to 52 per cent in a decade. In terms of goods export, in 2015, the export volume of the top 10 countries accounted for 52% of the total export volume, while that of developing countries accounted for 42%. The total export volume of WTO member countries reached 16.2 trillion us dollars. In terms of service trade, the top 10 exporting countries accounted for 53% of the total export volume, developing countries accounted for 36%, and the total export volume of WTO member countries reached 4.68 trillion us dollars.

 

In 2015, according to the global trade volume data, world trade showed a weak trend -- the total volume of world trade grew at a slow rate of 2.7%, basically in line with the growth rate of world GDP (2.4%). However, as export prices fell by 15 per cent, the value of trade in goods (in dollar terms) fell by 13 per cent to $16 tn. World business services exports were $4.754 billion, down 6 percent year-on-year. The weak world trade in 2015 was mainly due to the economic downturn in China, the severe recession in Brazil, the sharp decline in the price of crude oil and other commodities and the unstable exchange rate. In 2015, the import demand of Asia and resource-based economies slowed down, while that of the us and EU strengthened.

 

The world trade volume data report said the total value of trade in goods was stable due to a stable dollar and a moderate rise in crude oil prices, but the outlook for the full year was not optimistic.
