For me, as an a6400 user, the weight is the key factor. I would go with M2S.

[peperules]

thanks I JUST BOUGHT M2S for SOny ZV-e10. your review helped me!

[alexasenov]

Really nice video Jason. Thank you, I was wondering which one to go with!

[KeyserTheRedBeard]

tremendous video Jason Vong. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the amazing work.

[JulianOShea]

Thanks for this - great review! I’m looking to take my YouTube channel on the road, and to go as light as I can. Will the M2S will handle the A7C + new Sony 16-35mm PZ without any dramas?

[chandrayeesoneja]

Thank you for making this video, literally what I was searching for since yesterday and wished you had a comparison video ❤️

[imboredDB]

Hi Jason😮😮😮, have you had any experience with the Hohem MT-2? Thx!!!😊😊😊😊

[cchockolate]

The lack of ARCA Swiss is making me go a bit crazy. 😂 Actually modified the plate to be able to install a Falcamn quick release on the M3/M2S and it works! Still waiting for Smallrig to release a an ARCA Swiss quick release for the M3/M2S like they did for the M2. Hope it happens!

I tried using the M3 with the A7iv and 35mm GM and it wobbles all the time. You can only do pans, no tilts at all, not even a little bit. May as well lock every axis but pan axis.

[OhddMusic]

Currently have the older m2 with a6500 - would you say its worth the upgrade? Or should i just stick with m2? It seems to struggle w sigma 18-50mm on

[Mickey.BluEyes]

Thanks Jason! This helped me a lot as I’m just getting into videography in retirement. Now if I can just find one while I’m in Vietnam.

Which Mikrophone you would recomand in a combination of the Crane M2S with a A7C?

[chompchompfood]

If you've never used a gimble but are familiar enough with shooting videos for instagram/tiktok/youtube you name it, don't get the Q4 or Q3. I've used different types of tripods for my social media stuff and was finally ready to upgrade to a gimble to get the camera moves I know I really wanted and found the Q4 is very limiting in its tilt and rotation maximums before it would "wobble and freakout". The Crane M2s and M3 aren't going to have that problem.

If you've never filmed anything in your whole life the Q's will be fantastic for you to learn from. They're a great Christmas gift for your friend or family who just started vlogging. If you already know how to shoot things pay the extra for a better gimble right away.

Hey Jason
What do you recommend for a6400 and Tamron 28-75mm ?

Thank you for awesome content !

[lucas_]

Jason! Now we’ll need a Dji rs3 mini vs crane m3 comparison!

[AKA_TY]

I've been enjoying shooting with a7c and M3. It is sad that M3 cant control a7c with the cable. they match perfectly tho....

[maxartmann]

Ulanzi made a F38 adapter to use their quickrelease system, have you tried it yet?

[TOPSFANIS]

Did anyone have a solution about that "new" m3s plate? For using it on monopods, tripods with popular heads like 501pl etc?

Crane m2s vs M3! What is better in terms of stability and endurance, as well as pictures without motor jitter? Camera Sony ZV-E10 Lens Sigma 30mm 1.4

[NicolaCaldo]

Also, ZVE10 usb connection to the gimbal is not supported on the M3 but only on the M2S
