Zhiyun Weebill S
The Zhiyun Weebill S is a gimbal stabilizer. The Weebill S features the same underslung design as its predecessor, but in a more compact form. This gimbal also comes with new features.
The sling mode design includes a handle at the back, which lets you easily switch to underslung mode and gives you better control in all other modes. Other improvements include upgraded motors and a new stabilization algorithm. The Weebill S offers 300% more motor torque and 50% faster responsiveness. This lets you balance camera and lens combinations such as the Canon 5D Mark IV with a 24-70mm zoom lens more easily.
The Weebill S offers six operating modes. The Full-Range POV mode allows synchronous 360° movement on all three axes. In Vortex mode, you can shoot footage while rotating 360° and let the image roll. The other shooting modes are: GO Mode, PF Mode, F Mode and L Mode. Other features of the gimbal include Intelligent Auto-Tune, which automatically detects the weight of your camera and adjusts to it for the best possible energy efficiency. The battery life of the Weebill S has also been extended to up to 14 hours.
The Weebill S enables electronic focus control with supported cameras. This is done using the integrated focus wheel. The gimbal also supports mechanical focus and zoom control with optional motors. The Weebill S supports the TransMount motors and all other TransMount accessories that its predecessor was compatible with. One of these is the Quick Setup Adapter Set, which has become very popular since its release.
The Weebill S comes with several accessories, including an Arca Swiss / Manfrotto dual-layer quick release plate and a storage case. Also included is a mini tripod that can be used as a stand or as an extension. The mini tripod also completes the gimbal for underslung, low-mode use. It attaches to the rear handle so it can function as an upper handle.
The accompanying Zhiyun-Tech ZY Play app, compatible with iOS and Android, has been upgraded to work with the Image Transmission Module for more efficient gimbal control. A feature in the app called SmartFollow 2.0 works with the module to enable precise object tracking directly from the app. A tool called Sync Motion enables real-time monitoring and synchronous motion control. There are also upgrades to standard features, including ViaTouch 2.0, which lets you control various functions and settings of your camera and gimbal directly from your smartphone screen. These include zoom and focus, where supported, as well as tracking speed, ISO, aperture and more. Other features you will find in the ZY Play app include creative shooting tools such as Panorama, Timelapse, Motionlapse and Long Exposure Timelapse.
The TransMount Image Transmission Module is released alongside the Weebill S as an optional accessory. This compact device lets you stream wirelessly in 1080p30 resolution over distances of up to 100 meters. Up to three devices, including phones, tablets and certain professional monitors, can be synchronized using corresponding receiver modules.
