Round One Arcade Crane Machines

This has been great for printing decals for our arcade machines.

Round design lends itself to fast changes yet secure holding.

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.

I was in a very tight spot and the Halo Mono Round was a life saver.

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.

Machines are small and powerful

I have leased several xerox machines over the years and this is by far one of the best!!
