I recently upgraded to a Sony FX3 for my videography business and need advice on gimbals. Currently considering the DJI RS 3 Pro, Zhiyun Crane 3S, and Moza Air 3.
My setup typically includes the camera body, a 24-70mm lens, and sometimes a monitor. I shoot mostly weddings and corporate events, so battery life and quick balance adjustments are essential.
Anyone using these with an FX3? Would love to hear about your experiences, especially regarding payload capacity and reliability.
Good to know!
Tbh I gotta disagree with just jumping on the newest model and expecting it to be perfect right out of the box. The FX3 with a 24-70mm is a tricky combo because that lens shifts its weight so much when you zoom. If you arent careful with the DIY side of the setup and maintenance, you're gonna end up putting way too much stress on the motors and burning through your battery life way faster than the specs claim. Before you settle on any unit, you really need to be aware of the technical pitfalls of these setups:
Same here!
Zhiyun Crane 4 is worth considering if you want to save some money. It handles the FX3 beautifully and the new algorithms make balancing much easier than previous generations. The only downside is the app isn't quite as polished as DJI's, but for the price difference, it's hard to complain.
