Benro 3XS Overview

From Manufacturer

Designed for iOS and Android smartphones, the 3XS 3-Axis Smartphone Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from Benro is a 3-axis gimbal with pan, tilt, and zoom rotation for all axes. It features customizable buttons that can be set for Roll Following, Face Tracking, and One-Press Autorotation, which allows for a 90° rotation between horizontal and vertical shooting modes. Also available is wired charging via the included USB Type-C and Lightning cables, or wireless charging using the wireless charging pad built directly into the 3XS. When not in use, the 3XS folds down to about the size of a phone for easy travel and storage. Its motors also lock so it remains in place while in your bag.

Shooting is aided using Universal Follow mode, which is best for dynamic camera moves while following a subject, or Locked Down mode, which is best for dynamic panning movements around corners. Thanks to a 3.5mm mic jack, you'll be able to connect an external mic for recording audio directly to your smartphone. Power is provided by a 2000mAh battery, which lasts for up to 24 hours before recharging is required.

General Features
Take It Almost Anywhere with a Foldable Design and Locking Motors
The folding design of the 3XS allows you to take your gimbal with you virtually anywhere you go. Folding down to about the size of a phone, the gimbal can easily fit in most bags and jacket pockets. The 3XS allows for the gimbal to be folded up and carried with minimal storage space needed. The motors also easily lock so the gimbal remains in place while in your bag.
One-Press Autorotation
With a single press of one of the 3XS's customizable buttons, you can rotate your phone's filming orientation from either horizontal to vertical or vice-versa. No rebalancing is necessary.
Wireless and Wired Charging Options
If your phone is getting low on power, you can plug your smartphone into the gimbal clamp with included USB Type-C or Lightning cables. Or better yet, if your phone supports it, you can use the wireless charging pad built into the gimbal clamp to wirelessly charge your smartphone while shooting.
Universal Follow Shooting Mode
Universal Follow provides smooth camera movements towards the direction you're aiming at. Use this mode when circling a subject or when making several dynamic camera movements while following a subject.
Locked Down Shooting Mode
Locked Down provides smooth movement based on where you move the camera horizontally. Use this mode for dynamic panning movements around corners.
Built-In Mic Jack
The 3XS offers the ability to use an external microphone without interfering with the operation of the gimbal. With the included audio cable and built-in 3.5mm (TRRS) port, you can mount a compatible microphone onto the handle of the gimbal for high-quality audio recording directly to your smartphone.
24-Hour Battery Life
The 3XS features a 2000mAh capacity battery which provides up to 24 hours of use.
3-Axis Gimbal
The 3-axis gimbal will stabilize pan, tilt, and zoom functions for all the axes.
User-Customizable Buttons
With multiple customizable buttons, you can easily select and control your desired functions with each button by using the companion smartphone app. By pressing down on one of the customizable buttons, you can switch between features such as Roll Following, Face Tracking, automatic rotation of your phone's orientation from 180 to 90° and back, and more.
Intelligent Features via the Companion App
The companion smartphone app allows you to calibrate your 3XS, adjust parameters, update the firmware, create a panorama, or create a time-lapse with dynamic motion. The 3XS also allows for automatic face and object tracking. This enables the user to take part in the action while leaving the filming up to the gimbal.
1/4"-20 Universal Adapter
The underside of the Benro 3XS handle has a 1/4"-20 threaded hole for mounting the stabilizer to a tripod or using desired mounted accessories. This allows you to use the 3XS hands-free during Panorama or Motion time-lapse modes, as well as during Object or Face Tracking modes.
Travel-Friendly
Keep your production value high while traveling light, as the collapsible handle makes it good for traveling.
Drawstring Protective Pouch
The included carrying pouch allows you to retain your axis positions, saving you setup time at your next location.
