How much weight can it handle?

How much weight can it handle?
Asked by: Art
Zhiyun does not test or list a load capacity for most of their gimbals, including the Zhiyun CRANE-M3 S 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer Combo Kit, so we doo not have a official weight limit for the gimbal. However, they do list a camera compatibility chart you can use to determine if your camera is compatible. See: https://bhpho.to/42lFD3k

What do I need to pay attention to when using the Crane-M3 S with the Canon EOS R camera?
Asked by: Marisa P
When using the Zhiyun CRANE-M3 S 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer with the Canon EOS R Mirrorless Camera, the battery life is approximately 7 hours when in use. But, if the camera balance is not adjusted properly before powering on, it may cause the motor to overheat and significantly reduce the battery life. The three axes of the stabilizer are not fixed but can be switched to different modes to achieve the shooting effect you desire. For example, when walking, we recommend using the L mode to lock the camera's shooting frame.
