Note:

This table will be updated in line with firmware update and is subject to change without prior notice;
Balance adjustment of specific cameras and lenses is shown in the attached table;
Camera models that are not listed in the table will be tested in the future according to market feedback;
For Sony cameras, Panasonic cameras and some Canon cameras parameter settings are unavailable during video recording;
When applying the image transmission function of the stabilizer or using an external monitor with a Sony camera, it is not recommended to use video mode as there will be no output from the HDMI port before the recording. In video mode, after clicking the record button on the gimbal or in
ZY Play there will be output from the HDMI port;
When connecting Sony cameras to the stabilizer with a USB control cable, the stabilizer will charge the camera by default. Please turn off USB charging option of your camera if needed (this option may be unavailable for old models);
When applying the image transmission function of the stabilizer, if there is a large number of camera parameters on ZY Play users can change the display via buttons on the cameras: INFO. button for Canon cameras, DISP. button for Panasonic cameras;
When the stabilizer is connected to the external follow focus controller or zoom controller, the external follow focus controller or zoom controller will have priority to control the stabilizer.

Attached Table :

“Can be balanced at any focal length” means stabilizer balance can be achieved at both ends of the zoom lens.
“Follow focus on the left and zoom/focus controller on the right”: by left or right, the direction the lens faces is used as a point of reference. (Users can also install the servo follow focus and the servo zoom/focus controller in their own way; when dealing with small lenses, users can install the servo follow focus and the servo zoom/focus controller without the lens support);
For compatibility with camera models and lenses that are not listed in the table, users are free to carry out tests by themselves. Cameras whose weights are within the bearing range of CRANE 3 LAB and can be balanced on it are workable with CRANE 3 LAB;
The Remark column is to explain the crosses (x) in columns before it.
