Hi guys

Anyone knows if the Crane 3s can "communicate" with the ursa mini? Even if it's just limited to start and stop rec.

Thanks

According to Zhiyun-Tech the answer is no.

Although the Crane 3S can carry and balance the UMP G2, from my experience none of the connectivity functionalities work with the UMP G2. I don't think the RS2 does as well.

On the latest version of that list
(https://www.zhiyun-tech.de/media/pdf/a3 ... st-EN9.pdf)
the Canon Cs and Sony FS/FX cameras are listed for basic record start/stop functionality via optional USB-C to LANC adapter - which can't find as a product anywhere though.
Theoretically that should work with the LANC inputs on the URSAs as well, right?
In the gimbal's menu the camera control option for Sony and Canon "cine" does indeed exist, so maybe that adapter will be released at some point.

I would *LOVE* if there was a USB->LANC adapter that worked with the Crane 3S.. theoretically I could then actually benefit from the smart handle on the Crane 3S when using any of my 7 Sony and Canon cameras which use LANC.

One thing -- I searched the "latest version of the PDF" using the link you posted, and there is no mention of LANC support, or the related cable (I didn't see one at least).
