Works with mirrorless & large SLR cameras, as well as larger Cine style cameras like ZCam  and even the Sony FX9.

Modular Design. Versatile Shooting

On CRANE 3S, the handle is detachable with two options provided:

  • TransMount EasySling Handle (optional)
  • TransMount SmartSling Handle (included)

You can either mount EasySling handle to extend the grip for more comfort upright & underslung operation, or choose to mount SmartSling handle featuring an intuitive control panel and OLED screen, for direct camera & gimbal parameter adjustment, or combine them together!

EasySing


SmartSling

Extendable Arm. Greater Flexibility.

Wider compatibility is the goal but flexibility is provided. For larger cinema camera combos, users can attach an extension module onto roll axis for more space, while for smaller DSLR combos, the extension module can be detached for greater portability.

Cross-Compatibility. You can Imagine.

To complete challenging shooting tasks, CRANE 3S offers a versatile solution thanks to its cross-compatibility. The handle mods are easily separated and both provide multiple thread holes of different sizes to mount accessories. The modular design allows greater compatibility on CRANE 3S, like with motorized dolly, jib, cable cam, Easyrig, etc.

Zero Swinging. Heroic Security.

CRANE 3S provides ultimate reliability that users can count on. The reinvented locking system can lock the three axes without noticeable swinging. The modular design is integrated with double locks to ensure the camera is 100% safe on the gimbal during traveling or storage.

Continuous Uptime Supported by PowerPlus

Besides battery insertion, CRANE 3S offers a DC-IN port which supports up to 25.2V input for direct charging. The new exciting TransMount PowerPlus Battery Pack can house 6*18650 batteries, giving more strength to your gimbal to adapt to constant intense motions, and serving as a compact yet fast-charging power bank for your devices.

  • DC-IN Extensive runtime
  • 25.2V Voltage input
  • 12H Runtime with inserted batteries*
  • 18H Runtime with PowerPlus*
* With inserted batteries, CRANE 3S can run up to 12 hours. Powered by TransMount PowerPlus Battery Pack only, CRANE 3S can run up to 18 hours. These figures are concluded from still test in the lab. For camera combos over 3kg, it is recommended to use with PowerPlus Battery Pack.

Phenomenal Speed. Seriously Smooth

To facilitate powerful features in various shooting environment, CRANE 3S is driven by a new algorithm system which enables phenomenal responsive speed and smoothness. In fast action shoot, CRANE 3S is able to resist high winds and G-forces without compromise.

Properly Calculated 55°: Broader Vision

The properly 55° tilted roll axis is designed for unblocked view and allows enough space to mount large cinema camera combos.

Improved Zoom & Focus System

To meet the needs of cinematography, larger lens supports are added into the zoom & focus system. The focus wheel is equipped with a white board for marking a focus range. Zooming can be realized synchronously through SmartSling Handle.

*Zooming is realized through TransMount SmartSling Handle which is not included in CRANE 3S-E package
