Benro X-Series 3XS Lite
3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal
The Benro 3XS Lite revolutionize the way that smartphones were able to be used to create incredible content on the go.
The 3XS Lite is unlike other smartphone gimbal stabilizers, as it allows for the gimbal to be folded up and carried with minimal storage space needed. The gimbal can fit easily in most bags or jacket pockets. This allows it to be carried most places.
The Benro 3XS Lite also features a barrier-less smartphone clamp. This design also allows the user to go between horizontal and vertical orientations automatically with the push of a button, and to access your smartphone’s ports in either mode.
Ideal for most smartphones, the 3XS Lite features a 2000 mAh capacity battery which provides 24-hours of use. The 3XS Lite will keep up with you during the most extensive days of shooting.
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 degrees, and more.
The handle also features a trigger button which will allow you to either use Universal Follow Mode (default) or Locked-down mode (trigger depressed).
With Universal Follow Mode, it provides smooth camera movements towards the direction you’re aiming. You would use this mode when circling around a subject or making several dynamic camera movements following a subject.
Locked-down mode keeps the camera locked on a subject while moving the gimbal. With this mode you can replicate movements similar to a jib or slider. By using the directional button in conjunction with these modes, you can flawlessly control your movements. The threaded receiver allows for additional attachments, giving you even more flexibility with your shots.
The companion smart phone app allows you to calibrate your 3XS Lite, adjust parameters, update the firmware, create a panorama, or create a beautiful time-lapse with dynamic motion.
For advanced smartphone camera control, you can directly operate the photo shutter/focus, video record, and zoom making filming more convenient.
The underside of the Benro 3XS Lite handle has a ¼"-20 threaded hole for mounting the stabilizer to a tripod or using desired mounted accessories. This allows you to use the 3XS Lite handsfree during Panorama or Motion time-lapse modes, as well as during Object or Face Tracking modes.
Finally, the 3XS Lite offers the ability to use an external microphone without interfering with the operation of the gimbal. With the included 3.5mm audio cable and built in passthrough, you can mount any compatible 3.5mm (TRRS) microphone onto the handle of the gimbal for high quality audio recording directly to your smartphone.
The Benro 3XS Lite is ideal for most smartphones in the market today. Boost your production value while traveling light and compact with the X Series 3XS Lite Stabilizer. FEATURE BE

Store Policies
Best Offers
Our aim to is to give every buyer the
best value
we can and make a reasonable profit. We are a profit making company and not a charity. We cannot continue to offer our low prices and great service if we give our merchandise away. We only decline offers that do not make sense (cents) for us to accept.
For us
best value
is not just the lowest price on eBay, but the best overall value of product price, free goods if offered, shipping price, our super fast shipping and Top Seller customer service. When you compare our offer to other sellers, compare the total package!
Philly Photo uses the Best Offers feature for several specific reasons:
eBay allows us to offer Free Shipping to US buyers but this puts international buyers at an unfair disadvantage since we must
always
pay shipping. We feel this is unfair, therefore we use Best Offer so that international buyers get the same discount given to US buyers for the free shipping. US buyers should be aware that we will often decline their offers because the
free shipping
is
the Best Offer available for that item. This is often the case with items under 0 or items shipped to the west coast.
Many suppliers require that we post a fixed Minimum Advertised Price. For these suppliers we use the Best Offer feature so that you can purchase the item at a discounted price. In many cases we also offer free goods or free shipping on these items. US buyers need to calculate the free shipping as part of the discount, since we are paying the shipping. Depending on the offer, we will also not include any free items with Best Offers.
We carefully analyze each and every offer to see if it makes sense for us to make the deal and we really want every sale we can get.
Free Shipping
The truth about "free" shipping, not surprisingly, is that it is not really free. UPS, FedEx, and the US Postal Service do not deliver packages for free. When anyone offers free shipping it means you, the buyer, are not paying for shipping but the seller is. Since there is a cost to this, it ultimately affects the discounted price of the products we offer and how we calculate best offers.With lower priced items (items under ) there are times when the cost of shipping exceeds the amount we would allow for a discount.
OUR BUSINESS IS NOT TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM SHIPPING!
We also shop on eBay and hate high shipping fees. We would not think of doing this to others. We charge a fair price over the actual shipping cost to cover our supplies, gas to and from the post office, UPS etc.
We will try to give our customers a choice of cheap or fast shipping. We have not found any reliable company that is
both fast and cheap!
Either way the choice is totally yours.
Payment Terms
All items must be paid for in five days unless prior arrangements have been made.
We accept and prefer
PayPal, the online payment system
but we also accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and other forms of payment that eBay prohibits listing here. Email for details.
Philly Photo Supply reserves the right to refuse certain types of payment if we feel it is in our best interests to do so. A buyer is still required to complete a transaction with some other mutually acceptable means of payment should we refuse to accept an invalid payment type.
We cannot emphasize enough that these types of problems can all be avoided by asking questions before bidding.
PayPal Payments
We will refuse or refund any PayPal payments that are not protected by the PayPal Seller Protection program.
Credit Card Payments
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. You will be directed to PayPal (we process our credit cards through PayPal) where you can pay directly with your credit card. Items paid for by credit card will only be shipped to the billing address of the credit card and a signature is required upon delivery on items over 0.00US.

Buyer must obtain authorization prior to returning an item and ship the item back to us within 7 days of receipt of the authorization. Items returned to us without authorization or more than 10 days from issuance of the return authorization will be refused and returned to the buyer at the buyers expense.

Returned items will be inspected upon return and should the item be incomplete, show signs of use, exhibit damage, contain stains or odors from cigarettes the item will be returned to the buyer at the buyers expense. Items returned with missing packaging or accessories maybe assessed a restocking charge.
Feedback Policy
As a seller on eBay, we understand first hand the importance of feedback. We have been selling on eBay for over 10 years and we have
always
left feedback for our buyers,
always
, regardless of whether or not feedback has been left by the buyer. Our primary concerns are shipping your order accurately and fast, maintaining sufficient inventory to meet the needs of our customers, and insuring that our listings are both accurate and priced competitively. Beyond that, we get to feedback when we have the spare time to do it. Please be assured we
will
leave feedback. Do not send emails requesting feedback, as this generate the same response as above and will only clog up our in-box even more.

International Shipping
We participate in the eBay Global Shipping Program
Learn about the eBay Global Shipping Program
Many items shipped overseas by Philly Photo Supply are packed in irregular sized containers due to their shape and size. These items are not oversized by U S Postal Service standards, but
are
considered oversized by some foreign postal carriers and can incur additional handling charges upon final delivery. These charges are added by the courier and not Philly Photo. The size of these items sometimes prevents us from combining items into one order.
Per new eBay seller rules, shipping insurance is the responsibility of the Seller and the
actual
insurance amount has been included in the Handling Fee. Our Handling Fee includes some or all the following costs: insurance coverage, cost of packing materials, postage service fees, pick up fees, and preparation of documentation.
Customs and Import Taxes
Importation of items from another country can cause significant delays in the arrival of your item. We will can give the approximate shipping times for the arrival of your item but these do not allow for delays by customs officials in both the US and at the final destination. Please consider this in your expectations for travel time and in leaving appropriate feedback. We will remove any feedback that refers to slow shipping caused by customs delays.
Most foreign countries impose a duty, customs charge or value added tax on items shipped from the US. This charge is added by the shipping company,
not us
, and collected at delivery. This money is collected by your government and none of it comes to us. Please check with YOUR postal or customs authorities to determine the amount and reporting requirements. We have a difficult time understanding our own tax system and we have absolutely no desire to figure out the customs of the 50 or so other countries we ship to.
We will not under-value or declare items as a gift on customs forms to enable the avoidance of customs fees. This is against US and international Postal Regulations.
We accept no responsibility, financially or legally, for any customs duty or VAT charged to items upon final delivery. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. We will remove any feedback that refers to unfair customs charges.
