FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ZHIYUN
Ignites a New Era of Dynamic Filmmaking With the Ultra-Portable CRANE -
M 3S and WEEBILL 3S
Shenzhen, China, May 24,
2023 -
ZHIYUN today announced the launch of its CRANE
- M 3S and the WEEBILL
3S, two ultra-portable products that break new ground in the
professional stabilizer market and will catalyze a new era of dynamic,
anytime, anywhere visual storytelling, unconstrained by equipment
weight or crew size. Each new feature on both gimbals - portability,
ease-of-use, creative control and performance - has been carefully
developed with the intention of liberating the creative process by
simplifying the technical aspects of filmmaking for content creators.
The
ZHIYUN CRANE - M 3S: Portability and Wider Camera Compatibility
ZHIYUN’s CRANE - M 3S is the successor to the popular 2022 Red Dot
Product Award winning CRANE M3; it is the perfect vlogging, travel,
live streaming and interview companion. The 705 g compact, portable
powerhouse sports a higher load-bearing capacity for mainstream
full-frame cameras and lens combos than its predecessor, and can also
be used with mobile phones, mirrorless and action cameras. Its
dimensions come in at 284.2 mm (w) x 74.5 mm (d) x 163.5 mm(h) and hits
the style mark with its professional monochromatic looks.
Once
Balanced; Keep On Shooting
Users can capture stunning images effortlessly thanks to its Bluetooth
shutter functionality that enables wireless control of zoom and record
with one touch - no more complicated cable connections. Furthermore,
its customized two-in-one quick release with plates for each camera
model means that mainstream camera batteries can now be changed without
camera assembly or disassembly. Once the stabilizer is balanced, it
won’t require rebalancing again. Quick installation combines with Power
Delivery (PD) fast charging meaning that a full charge takes just two
hours, and offers a maximum battery life of up to 7.5 hours.
Stunning
Clarity; Ultimate Control
Day or night, ZHIYUN’s CRANE - M 3S boasts a tiny, yet powerful
built-in bi-color fill-light no bigger than a fingernail. Powered by
ZHIYUN’s own Lumen Amplifier technology, the modular light enables
stepless/temperature adjustment and emits up to 1,000 lux brightness;
color temperature 2,700K-5,500K.
Once the shoot footage is captured, the 1.22” intuitive touchscreen
features an all-new intuitive UI that offers easy adjustment of
functions, enabling directors to fine-tune that all-important content,
effortlessly.

WEEBILL 3S: Seamless Professional Filmmaking
Seamless filmmaking was what ZHIYUN had in mind with its launch of its
WEEBILL 3S. It weighs 1,054.8 g and comes in at 305 mm (w) x 210 mm (d)
x 72.5 mm (h).
With its powerful performance and compatibility with most DSLR and
mirrorless cameras on the market as well as mainstream lenses,
unleashing the full potential of a favorite camera has never been
easier. The tenth generation algorithms features customizable following
and smooth curves based on common shooting scenarios and operating
habits, providing a seamless shooting experience every step of the way
with unbeatable stability and silky-smooth camera movements.
WEEBILL 3S is compatible with ZHIYUN TRANSMOUNT accessories and the ZY
Play App, including: TransMount Follow Focus/Zoom Units; TransMount
Image Transmission
System; TransMount Transmitter/Receiver; MasterEye Visual Controller
VC100 and the ZY Play App features.
Revolutionary
Portrait Switch
An innovative system integrates the local structure on the
portrait/landscape modes on the WEEBILL 3S meaning filmmakers can
switch between the two modes on the quick-release module, saving time
and without having to rebalance the gimbal.
Essential
Features for Extended Shooting
Improved
Sling Structure Grip for Ultimate Comfort
ZHIYUN has further innovated and improved the ergonomics of its
pioneering industry-first sling grip. Crafted from skin-friendly
materials, its soft hand grip supports the precise fine-tuning of the
wrist angle with a knob, allowing for accurate adaptation to gimbal
operating and camera movement habits in either one or two handed
operation. The extendable sling grip can be adjusted to a two-handed
grip mode and allows for left and right tilt adjustments to the
direction of the gimbal handle as well as the grip center of gravity,
making low-angle and sling mode shooting effortless.
11.5
hours of Uninterrupted Operation
WEEBILL 3S needs just two hours to fully charge using PD fast-charging
and offers up to 11.5 hours of non-stop shooting.
1,000
Lux Fill Light
Like the CRANE - M 3S, WEEBILL 3S comes with Lumen Amplifier
technology; the fill light delivers a powerful 1000 lux light and dual
color temperature: 2,600k-5,500K, CRI90+, enhancing the light and
shadow texture of each shot.
Remote
Control of Filmmaking
The Bluetooth shutter control on the WEEBILL 3S connected to most
mainstream camera models and allows for the recording button to
start/stop recording or trigger photo-taking, enabling a seamless
shooting experience.
0.96-inch
Bilingual (EN/CH) Display Screen
Get perfect shots in-situ. The display screen has shortcuts for motion
lapse, V mode, etc, while creative control is further facilitated with
the WEEBILL 3S’s control wheel which supports adjusting parameter,
focus motor, and gimbal axes.
Commenting on the new additions to its iconic WEEBILL and CRANE product
ranges; Yilun Liao, CEO, ZHIYUN said: “With their innovative features,
WEEBILL 3S and CRANE - M 3S, usher in a brand new filmmaking era.
