Best Gimbal for BMPCC 6k Pro - Zhiyun Crane 4 and Ronin DJI RS3 Pro Compared 

honest and clear review without the explosions. nice.

Love your subtle sarcasm, straight from the heart without bias and negativity😊 🙌🏽

Great video, I actually just ordered the rs3 pro.. EXCITED

Great video Matt! I just picked up a used BMPC4K and gimbals and cages are top of my list for my real estate videos I'm planning on shooting. This video was super helpful. Thanks!

great video I like all the actual user details like the bit about the mounting plate Well done

Thank you. This was a very helpful video, especially for a beginner.

Nice and comprehensive review! Also, the background music was extremely nice. Chef's kiss I'm considering the DJI RS 3 Pro Combo with the Lidar system for my BMPCC 6K PRO. I feel more confident with choosing the rs pro

Just found this comparison video in my YT home screen. Loved it! Very good job, Matt. I was debating between getting the Crane 4 or RS3 Pro. Both are great gimbals. That being said, I second your words deciding between the two gimbals should come down to personal needs or preference. I eventually chose the DJI RS3 because it's in between the Mini and the Pro. It's portable, light weight, it features auto-lock, removable battery and a few other things. The DJI RS3 just works for what we are planning to use it in our channel. However, I know for a fact that the Crane 4 would've done an excellent job, too. It's full of cool features like the balancing lights in the axis motors, the wrist rest support, built-in vertical mount, and the fill light. Those features interested me. But in the end, the RS3 was the one for us. 😊 Good luck to anyone that may watch this comparison video to make an informative decision between the two gimbals.

Matt, thank you for this extremely helpful video! New subscriber here. I really like your delivery. 🙏🏽💛

A good and honest review. Much appreciated. I am in the market to upgrade my gimbal. Reviews like these help. That mounting bracket at the end really has me pursuing to look beyond Zhiyun. That is a nightmare.

This video was made fairly recently and I just chose to get the crane 4 combo. Got a steal on their website for only $600 I already have the focus wheel and transmitter. I believe it’s apples to apples with DJI as far as the pro line. Considering the crane is lighter and has a professional pay load. It was an easy choice for me. Great video! Thank you

Good video. Thx, Matt.

Big thanks for explaining!

its very helpful info.... nice comparison

Agreed. Dear Zhiyun, pls make the light optional. And make the plate grip whole line😊

cool review thanks

Interesting video thanks for making and good to hear your thoughts...I'm righty but seem to always have the gimbal in my left hand so can access camera controls when I need to, so good to think about that with the zhiyun...also, I don't need an on camera light often, but I do do some automotive services shooting and if I'm in an interior of a car or recording somebody doing some work on the engine area or under the car would definitely be helpful.

a little over a month ago I bought the RS4 Pro from DJI it is phenomenal

thanks for the video,, Matt

My question to you is if I buy the rs3 pro and the smallrig 3252 battery eliminatator and possibly an circle tilta ring. How can I best deliver power to camera and still have camera control? I saw the v mount plate slide for the rs series. Is that the best or only way to power it ?

Very good video my friend! Thank you. Do you know if the focus motor is also usable apart of the gimbal by the Ronin? Like can I use it always also as a wireless focus puller? Thnks in advance

thank you! going with the Ronin DJI RS3 Pro

Nice video, Matt. Would either Gimbal take a Ursa mini? And could you use a proper monitor (Atmos Ninja) rather than a phone?

I have the RS3, and unfortunately with the FX-3 a 24-105Lens, add a vmount battery and its way too heavy. I should have gotten the RS3 Pro, so i've been researching the crane 4 and Pro, thanks for sharing this information.

What about shooting vertical? It's a necessity for many of us to have to switch between the two quickly. How do they compare?

What about the vertical and horizontal.? Is the rs3 support it with out having L base ?

Nice video, subscribed

I tried looking at the Bluetooth compatibility list of the Crane4 for shutter control for my Fuji XT4, and I don't see a Fuji section at all? Are Fuji cams just not supported for Bluetooth controls...like at all? Seems improbable.

This video was all I needed to make my decision between the two. the "left handed thing" was a deal breaker with me and the crane. I will be purchasing the ronin

Hi Matt. I have to buy a stabilizer for the bmpcc 6k Pro to use with the Tokina Cinema 16-28 zoom and the Tokina Cinema 50-135. I'm undecided between Zhiyun 3S Pro and Zhiyun Crane 4. Which one do you recommend? Thank you very much.

Thanks for pointing out that the Zhiyun Crane might not work as well for us lefty's, That's a detail I wouldn't have realized until after purchase.

Great video

follow focus motor for crane 2 will that work for crane 4

Well done.

Another advantage with DJI gimbals is more 3rd parties makes supporting accessories for it and I might be wrong but the raven eye tracking and af capabilities is superior than what zhiyun system.

Very honest and very careful on what you say at the end of the day it’s what works best for anybody. ❤❤

Ronin it is! Nice review!

Hello sir ❤❤❤❤ I am from India recently I bought black magic pocket camera 6k G2, Sigma 18-35, Comica VM30 shotgun mic. I can't understand which gimbal I choose. *Please suggest a budget Gimbal for my Bmpcc 6k G2* Your reply will help me

Sir suggest me best gimbal rs3 yeah crane 4 ?

did you use a baseplate ?

its not you sir, the crane is not made to do what the Ronin does so yes the DJI is the more financially and economically viable option. Great video and thanx for sharing

Great video, thanks ! Like & Subscribe ! I have a question for you. I have a Sony a7ıv camera, the heaviest lens I will attach is 24-70 2.8 sigma art. I don't know which one I should choose rs3 vs crane 4. (but not rs3pro because in the country I live in this is worth a lot of money). The combo package of the two is the same price, but I don't know if zhiyun is good at software and for some reason dji seems much more professional. What would you suggest to me?

12 hours of shoot time in STATIC MODE...quite scamy to state that. How much time is it really operating it? 3-5 h?

The Ronin payload is 6.6 lb... not 10

Dji rs3 gimbal pro is the best overall. Don't choose crane 4 not so much balancing.
