Crane Driving Simulation Games

I first experienced flight simulation in 1998 with the Microsoft flight Simulation program. I'am retired now and became interested in flight simulation again and downloaded the MSFS 2020. My old control apparatus was not compatible with the new MSFS so I began searching for new controls. I was familiar with B H from purchasing photo equipment in years past. After contacting BH sales and being placed on a waiting list for a basic joystick I received notice of the availability of the one I recently purchased. Thanks B and H for getting me back on track.

Adds a new level of interactivity to racing and driving games that greatly enhances immersion and enjoyment. I have driven automatic cars my whole life, but for playing racing games or Truck Simulator I really like having the added control and activity that manually switching gears provides. Feel more like a racer or a trucker. Quality is great, feels heavy and solid and mostly metal. Mounted perfectly to my wheelstand pro with RGS upgrade. Quality and functionality-wise I've had no issues with this shifter, it recognized automatically in Forza Horizon 5 without any configuration at all, and was very easy to configure in Truck Simulator with an SKRS truck shifter knob on it. You do need to install a software driver when you first set it up in order for it to work correctly, but it's very simple setup. It is expensive for what it is, but I don't regret the purchase at all because of how much it has changed the way I play pretty much any driving/racing game. After getting this, my setup feels complete. Just a note on the seller: I never ordered anything from B&H before but I was impressed with the quick order processing and shipping. I ordered the product later in the evening of Dec. 12, and received the product morning of Dec. 15. Good experience, I'd buy from B&H again.

I upgraded to this from the Zyhun Crane v2 I was worried that it would not be worth the money since I already had a gimbal and was simply getting a better one, but since then I have fallen in love with every aspect of this thing!! It is noticeably smoother than the Zyhun v2 and even the crane 2 in my experience using that a number of times. You dont appreciate the lowered 3rd axis until you go back to using another gimbal that doesnt have it... Also, the ability to quickly switch sensitivity modes and use the gimbal more like an actual steady cam is simply amazing!! Also, on the battery life, I have shot back to back weddings on a single charge and am almost never under 50% after a full day of shooting. If you put it into sleep mode when you are not using it rather than just leaving it on the whole time you can get even more use out of it. Another pro is the great grip...it just feels 10x better in the hands than a crane 2 or v2, and yes it is heavier than a crane 2, but after a couple months of using it you will build up the endurance and be able to use it all day no problem...still lighter than a steadycam.

The Zhiyun M3 Crane is by far the best for vlogging, due to its build quality. The crane is lightweight which will not make your arm tired when holding it for hours. It's sturdy and can handle the lightweight DSLR cameras. So, you can get the cinematic shots with ease along with daily vlogging shots without the jitter of standard selfie sticks or tripods. This crane is a must for YouTubers seeking the best without breaking the bank

I have the Crane 2 and I am quite happy with it but I thought I would give the Ronin S a try. Mostly I use a GH5S on the gimbal so the first upgrade is manual focus control which works great. The Ronin S seems a little easier to balance and the motion seems a bit smoother. The Ronin S feels better in my hands but it is noticeably heavier. I also like that the Ronin S you can control motion using the joystick and gesture at the same time. I have to choose which mode to use on the Crane 2. One thing I don't understand is why you have to connect that battery pack to the gimbal to charge it. That is inconvenient I like the replaceable batteries in the crane better. At least it charges relatively fast. The extra weight seems worth it to me to get the extra features. I will keep the Ronin S and likely sell the crane 2. I hope they sell extra batteries soon I always want a backup.

Connecting our microphone to our video camera to allow for video recording of our nursing simulation. We needed a connector and this was the one.

it keeps my crane stable and it is easy to use

Easy to use, just make sure your crane is balanced

This is must have for any tripod or crane/jib work !!!

Held onto my ladder rack really well while driving.
