Scope of delivery:
The Zhiyun Weebill-S is a compact but powerful 3-axis stabiliser for DSLR and mirrorless system cameras. With a maximum load of 3kg, the gimbal can support and stabilise three times its own weight - for up to 14 hours with fully charged batteries. Compared to its predecessor, the Weebill LAB, the Weebill-S offers three times more motor torque and a revised algorithm for 50% improved responsiveness. If desired, the gimbal can detect the weight of the camera itself and automatically adjust the motor strength for the best possible shooting results. The Weebill-S is supplied with various USB cables, a mini tripod, a backing plate, a quick-release plate as well as two lithium-ion batteries and a charger.
The axes of the Zhiyun Weebill-S can be locked individually by corresponding switches, which is not only practical for storage and transport, but also makes mounting and balancing the camera easier. The Zhiyun Weebill-S is compatible with many popular cameras and lenses, such as the Sony A7 series or the Canon EOS up to the 5D models. Parameters such as motor torque, follow speed, smoothness, dead zone, button functions and much more can be conveniently set via the controls integrated in the handle and the OLED display. With six different operating modes (Follow, Pan-Follow, Lock, POV, Vortex and GO/Sport), the Weebill-S offers endless possibilities for creative, cinematic filming. Important: Settings such as aperture, exposure time, ISO and exposure compensation cannot be adjusted via the gimbal on every camera. It is advisable to check the compatibility list on the Zhiyun website beforehand.
The profile of the Zhiyun Weebill-S is no bigger than a sheet of A4 paper. This is why it is particularly recommended for demanding hobby filmmakers and professionals who value space-saving equipment. Those who are on the road a lot and shoot reports or action or sports footage will quickly appreciate this handy tool. Thanks to the 2-in-1 quick-release plate, cameras can be removed for transport in a flash and then screwed back on again - without the need for re-balancing. The replaceable batteries not only keep the gimbal itself running for a long time, but can also charge the camera during operation. If you connect a smartphone to the Weebill-S, you also get special functions such as panorama, various time lapses, object tracking, motion sensor control and much more via the free app "ZY Play".
Zhiyun is owned by Guilin Zhishen Information Technology Co. Ltd. which was established in 2015. This high-tech company develops, produces, and sells stabilisers for cameras and smartphones as well as all related accessories. While its headquarters are in Guilin, southern China, the company's production sites are located in Shenzen, Hong Kong, and the United States. Zhiyun was a leader in the development and definition of the first manufacturing standards for the stabiliser industry and has established itself as one of the leading brands in the field, both on the Chinese market and internationally. Zhiyun's catalogue includes both consumer products and gimbals for professional cameras.
Zhiyun offers a wide range of accessories for the Weebill-S that significantly expand the gimbal's functionality. These include additional sling handles, mounting plates, a smartphone holder, monopods and servo motors for focus and zoom control. With three 1/4-inch threaded sockets, the Weebill-S offers several options for mounting add-ons flexibly. Particularly noteworthy at this point is the optional TransMount image transmission module, which enables wireless image transmission in 1080p/30 over a distance of up to 100 metres to a maximum of three devices (smartphones, tablets or professional monitors). In addition, the wireless module is also capable of Lookup Tables (LUT), false colour display, focus peaking and zebra function for professional monitoring and live transmissions.
