Another new ZHIYUN gimbal for us: The new WEEBILL-S gimbal should be suitable for traditional system cameras as well as for DSLR cameras with different lens combinations. Compared to the WEEBILL LAB, engine torque and responsiveness have been significantly increased. With its replaceable battery, the gimbal should be able to achieve a running time of up to 14 hours. It should also be able to charge the camera in real time.
Also heavier combinations like a Sony A7III+FE 24-70mm F2.8 or a Canon 5D Mark IV+EF 24-70mm F2.8 should be balanced without problems. The Instune algorithm lets the gimbal automatically detect the weight of the camera and adjusts the appropriate motor settings automatically.
Furthermore, ZHIYUN Gimbal promises latency-free image transmission in 1080p with the optional TransMount image transmission module. The integrated ViaTouch 2.0 image transmission system transforms any smartphone into a professional monitor and multifunctional remote control.
The WEEBILL-S also supports electronic focusing and mechanical focus/zoom control with a handy dial on the handle. The following nicely made promotional video gives a quick overview of the relevant functions:
The WEEBILL-S is available for 399 Euro, the WEEBILL-S Zoom/Focus Pro package for 499 Euro and the WEEBILL-S Image Transmission Pro package for 599 Euro.
