Haha, Tanner! Can I keep this comment until I convince my first 10,000 subscribers? Appreciate your comment man! It helps UA-cam push my video out to more people! Thanks for the support!
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. No one else on UA-cam has gone this in-depth about the Image Transmission Module (believe me, I have looked for new content about it every single day since Weebill S content started hitting UA-cam) - especially the tracking (SmartFollow) feature .... you are the first to have a real demonstration of that feature, and it looks like it works great. It is a much better system than having to have a phone mounted to the top of the camera, like other gimbal manufacturers are doing. Seeing how well that feature works is what I was waiting for, and I can now proceed with purchasing this gimbal. Thanks again!
Hi Jay! Thanks for this comment! My hope was to cover that gap, but it's still difficult to cover everything under 10 minutes. Tracking feature is good, but it's still not as smooth as my hand. I would only use it, if the gimbal is out of reach. It will probably work really well if shot in slow-mo. If you ever seen Weebill Lab tracking, Weebill S is definitely a huge improvement. All in all, for the price of the image transmission transmitter, it's a great too to have around! Thanks for watching!
YOU BLOW A WAY MY MIND, THAT'S WHAT I WAS SEARCHING THE MOST. THIS IMAGE TRANSMISSIOR IS AWESOME, THE WEEBIL S ALSO, BUT THIS CAMERA CAR, MADE ME CRY. I WANT IT. PLEASE TEACH ME
Woke up to this video and the intro alone made my day!!! It's definitely a game changer... Seriously, endless possibilities! Loved the transition to the intro sequence 😍👌👌 And a fist pump from another fellow sucker for sunsets! 😁
Haha, Jake! I said Alaska because I respect how you film in such a cold place. That line was for you... When the view is that good tho, I would just put on more layers too. LOL Thanks for watching man!
@@kingwata1 so there's the USB cable that plugs into the gimbal motor and the USB of the transmitter, then a 2nd cable from the camera to the transmitter, and then a 2nd cable from the camera HDMI to the HDMI of the transmitter? If so, then it appears that's the cable I'm missing but can't confirm it anywhere. I follow the instructions exactly and get a "no internet connection" message and "device is not working properly" in the transmitter section of the ZY Play app. Canon 5D MK IV
Can anyone help me out I have a Sony a7iii Ans the webill s gimbal. I just got the image transmission module. What hdmi cable do I need to get. It didn’t come with on!?! If anyone can send me a link please I already purchased the wrong cable once and I’m about to give up.
PRELUDE STUDIOS thanks man!! Yeh there is just so much to this gimbal. The module has a built on battery that also draws power from the gimbal so it does drop the gimbal battery life of 14 hrs to something much lower. You have not personally tested to more than a 4 hour shoot so can’t say for certain how much it will reduce your average gimbal battery life. If I get to test it, I’ll try to find this comment again and answer you!
First, I like... then, I watch and learn greatness 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This video is madness!! Love the creativity here! I can see a Hollywood director hiring you for exactly this 🚙🎥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Stephen. We try to get creative time to time . LOL I still have my Weebill Lab. After the latest firmware update, the app reliability has definitely gone up.
Yet again so good man!!! So good can’t wait till version 2.....yea I need to do a time lapse with mine lol thinking about getting on the roof of my school one morning and doing it.
Haha DO IT Paul!!! Some people may want to know exactly how to do it. It's intuitive but you have to play around with the settings first. At least you won't be freezing when you set this up! LOL Thanks for watching buddy!
Another solid video. Nice edit with the footage too 🤙👍👍 You know another way to avoid the cold other than using image transmission??? Wearing a jacket. 🤔🤔🤔😆😆😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Vu Nguyen // nVu Films don’t you Asians have tons of heavy jackets....I thought you get cold easy? Plus don’t you have family members that make them?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 😜 Nice little cameo there Vu, solid truck driver!
Such an awesome video Se, loved watching. All your videos on the Weebill S are getting me so excited for when I get mine. Still not available here, waiting, waiting haha 😂. Thanks for sharing the video my friend 🤙👍
Adrian my friend! I really appreciate you watching my videos during launch. Uh man! You know more you wait, the greater the reward! (Kinda like my videos hopefully. I don't upload often but each one I put in about 30-40 hours of editing time) LOL
Deborah Gallegos yes for the image but obviously you will lose the gimbal control integration piece of it. The module has a 1/4 inch thread hole that you can get a small adapter to mount it
This is nut, now we are able to shot movie grade car chase scene using our zhiyun weebil s. I'm currently waiting for my weebill s come today, so psyched 😆
Great video Se! When I first saw this gimbal I thought it would be cool to mount it to the front bumper of a car to get an angle kind of similar to that of a camera car they use in Hollywood. This way you can sit in the passenger seat of the camera car with the gimbal in front of you instead of behind you going through multiple layers of metal. Of course, this is more dangerous because debris can fly up and hit your lens. Maybe adding a layer of glass or something in front of the rig to protect it? Anyway thank you for showing us the potential of this little gimbal and I hope to see you continue to do greater things! I'll definitely be using that object tracking tip in the future.
Haha great minds think alike! I like that front mounting idea too. You would almost use the car as a controller too! That's good! I would definitely put an UV filter at least like you suggested. I'll be sure to keep pushing the boundaries of budget film-making! Thanks for the support!
I can’t decide between the weevil s and the ronin sc. we want it for vlogging, and to maybe get more cinema shots for the vlogs. I have a Sony a6600 with sigma 16mm f1.4
You're killin' it lately man and I'll tell you why: you create unique value where most other UA-camrs don't. I've watched many Weebill S videos and this is the first time I've seen someone discuss and properly show compelling new use cases for the Image Transmitter and the SmartFollow feature. Almost everyone else frames the Transmitter as a on-gimbal SmallHD/Atomos replacement and the SmartFollow feature as "something cool but I can't see a use for it". When you suggest new use case like this you're indirectly helping Zhiyun tap into new emerging markets. Really cool stuff man.
Hi, you know what? I see another real interest in this transmitter and object follow. Put the Weebill S on a slider and track your object or subject while the slider moves from one side to the other. No need to get an expensive motor head like Arc 2 for instance. OK it's not providing the full set of functions of an Arc 2 head but it can save some money if you're ok with it. in an interview for instance. use a slider with motor slider axis only and use the follow function for the rest. Not sure I was clear enough , excuse me for my english. I'm a french guy!!!!
Hi Didier! Yes that's genius! I think you'll enjoy a video I made about the Gimbals Future. I made it little bit after this video, and some of us talk about exactly what you just mentioned. You'll see a clip of me attempting that with Weebill Lab. :) Thanks for watching! Your English was perfect! I knew exactly what you were talking about! Thanks for watching!
@@SePark thanks for your answer. I'll see your video. But I see one drawback of the transmitter. It is that it is linked to what the camera sees and in case you don't have follow focus good enough, as long as it will loose focus on the object tracked, the weebill S application will be lost... Well, i'm afraid it will. Compared to the Ronin S-C if I remember well, it has the object tracking directly from a phone that you attach to the camera. I see 2 benefits of this way to do : 1) the phone has a wider angle of view than your lens so you can follow and track a subject maybe better if you can select it entirely. 2) the wide angle lens of a phone and the small size of it's sensor and the small aperture lead to a deep depth of field so no risk to loose focus. Exemple : shoot on the weebill a Lumix S1 + 50mm S-Pro 1,4 ... the depth of filed os so narrow and the contrast only AFC of the body may occur in some loose of the focus point. If the tracking is made with a separate view from a phone, it will follow the subject and the camera will try to make the focus. Can we do this with the weebill S ? I mean track an object using a phone attached to the camera?
Awesome cut bro. And props for the hardware build and test case. 1 question: it didn't look like you were using an Anamorphic lens, were the cinematic flares After Effects? (they look awesome)
@@ChrisMizo haha! I'm already thinking of how I am going to tell my wife about my next video idea.... LOL. (jk. she's very supportive,,, most of the times) 😁
Awesome video brother!! Any tips for pulling focus from a phone while using the transmitter? I have been trying to figure this out for over a year, end up disconnecting the transmitter and doing everything on camera because I can not get it to pull focus from my phone. Any help would be deeply appreciated!!!
Wait this is sick! Does it work with most Zhiyun Gimbals or just the Weebill S? Also, went to the website and it doesn't even have a link to purchase it.
Thanks man! It works with all the newer model Zhiyun gimbals (Crane 2S, Crane 3S, and Webill S). The purchase link in my video description worked for me. If you get it from the official Zhiyun store, don't forget to use my discount code! Appreciate your support!
i running an a7iii on this gimbal with the transmission module, rigged up the cables according to instructions but still cant seem to control the camera settings from the app...
How do you get it to track smoothly. Mine is jerking a bit. I'm using it on a slider and when I box an object which I'm trying to track smoothly. It does track but with a jerry movement. Help!
Theres some shake in the driving videos. Was that added in post or is the setup actually pretty bouncy on the road?? Im getting close to building this but Im trying to figure out how the footage will actually come out. Will there be any shake or does the gimbal absorb most if not all of it. I am after perfectly smooth shots.
Thanks for that video! I was just wondering, how did you enable face AF on your Sony while connected to the Zhiyun Transmitter? Isn’t Sony disables face AF when connected to any HDMI connection.. like an external monitor? Thanks.
I have a big problem! I downloaded the app and there was no weebill s option... I can’t use any of the features that are so highly praised in this video... :( can someone help?
Hi what setting do you need to change in the a7riii for the transmitter to work? when i hit record button both my phone and camera screen goes black. but when i unplug the multi cable it somehow works
Would this work with a panasonic lumix dmc g7? The camera is famous for not working with monitors for video (only stills). Would this solve that? Btw, thanks for the video, you really managed to get me exited about it XD
Is this a reliable system? How does it permorm in real situations ? The hdmi signal and remote controller are good? And what about focus pulling through external controller? Is it good? I don't know it I should buy this complete system (that seems to be fa fantastic) or buy a hollyland 300 pro with a moza iFocus for monitoring and pulling focus. What do you think?
Yo, remember how I said I was gonna buy the S, and then said how I'm gonna super buy it after watching your video. Well... NO I AM ABSOLUTELY 100% MAX DESTRUCTION MODE Gonna buy it, tomorrow actually, They called me from the store to let me know it arrived. Even more hyped now, great idea man. Were you setting's maxed out on the gimbal for minimal shake? I was just wondering how it handles a lot of the micro shakes during driving, those are notorious for ruining shoots, that's why people mostly use Movi's on these kinds of shoots.
Haha, yes I vividly remember that. Best plot twist on a comment! There were definitely some shakes whenever the truck hit some sort of bumps. I also have sports suspension on the truck instead of the off road so it's not the ideal setup. The settings were at medium power. But as a budget setup, it got some shots I would have never imagined. I love the diverse capability of this gimbal. Get hyped!! LOL
@@SePark ohhhh, I see. Thanks for the reply, and the transparency, that info is pure gold, I'll try a similar setup with everything maxed out, really curious as to how well it will perform. Also, gj on using the phone as a controller plus the Wi-Fi info for where you should be seated when controlling the gimbal, small info like that is the difference between getting the shoot and spending loads more time on set. ♥️♥️♥️
Awesome! With the image transmission, could you lock the image follow mode to yourself? So a person can vlog, walk and talk at the same time? Grrrr.... this Weebill S is killing me!!! I have the Ronin but your video truly is a Game Changer especially for 1 man crews like myself... Thank you so much ....!!!!!
Thanks! Yes, that's what this is really made for. It's actually more convenient since you can see yourself and track yourself from the phone screen away from the gimbal. Ronin SC, the phone has to be mounted on top of the gimbal and it doesn't support front facing camera so that's not really convenient.
Great! BUT... why no one talks about the tiny little thing that could ruin everything?! Maybe I'm just too clueless? The HDMI cable! None of this will work without it and a regular HDMI won't do. Is it the mini HDMI? I have the Sony 6400 so I know I need the micro HDMI, but the transmitter does not take a regular HDMI. Can you please tell us about exactly which HDMI cable input the transmitter has? Thx
Her Soul Vacation good question. It uses the mini HDMI to micro HDMI cable. I believe the production model ships with one. When I got mine, I had to buy it separately from Amazon.
@@SePark When my transmitter arrived, it did not have the HDMI cable. I purchased 3 before I could figure out the transmitter has a MINI and not a standard. Another thing, the instructions from Zhiyun say that the HDMI is OPTIONAL! Why would they say that? The thing does not work without the HDMI cable.
Her Soul Vacation 😆 yeh HDMI cable is kinda important to see the camera image. LOL... I wonder what happened. The one I got was a Nanosecond Slim HDMI cable and it’s working out well.
Are there any videos with good light but indoors? Anyone has done a little vlogging test with either the G50 or G60? I was considering them for some simple recording work but these videos with the color aberration in the mountains... I am really curious. Does anyone has used them I doors for recording their home events or little projects? I'll appreciate any video indoor.
I have a Sony a7sIII and a Weebill-S and the smart tracking doesn´t work! The image is displayed with a delay of several seconds. I have a Iphone 6, does anyone know any solution?
Hey, Great video!!!! I'm a step away from getting this gimbal. I have a question, Did you film this in 4K and the transmitter scale it down to 1080 to your phone?
Dato Aliff Alex you can use it as it’s own image monitor. If you use it with your Crane 2 of course you won’t have the same kind of control over your gimbal when using the image transmission module app (within ZY Play app). You will just have to mount the module via a cold shoe. It has a 1/4 inch thread. 👍
Hi. I have the same setup, when I hit record on iPhone, image disappears. I’m sure it’s a Sony a7iii setting. Could you share your settings? Thank you.
Excellent Video & One thing sir, I Have sony a7iii, Can I show preview of camera Screen, change camera setting (like ISO, Shutter, Aperture), object track, and motion control (Like gyro) All of these can run simultaneously mobile screen ? pls put making of this video with detail & mainly Image Transmission setting
One more reason to get one. I remember building a roof mount for my truck 20+ years ago thinking I wish I have one of these rigs for it. Finally, it is here.
Haha Steve, cameras and gimbals are just getting smaller and smaller. I can't imagine how big the camera was 20 years ago. These days , I could probably mount this to a motorcycle.... in spring tho. Definitely not in winter! LOL
What hdmi chord did you use to set up the module? I've read a lot of reviews online where people are struggling with the setup due to no hdmi chord included. I'm also shooting on Sony
Hi Nicholas, great question. You are correct. You need a good reliable high speed HDMI cable to make this work well. I don't recommend the coil type or thick HDMI cables since they tend to sag or get knocked on a nearby someone or an object. The one I use now (the one I used for the car shoot) is a flexible high speed HDMI cable. It's super light so it won't weigh down and sag. Sony's HDMI port is not secure enough for any heavy HDMI cables. I updated the Amazon links and you'll find the link to the exact cable I used for my A7 III there. It is on a longer side, but it can be neatly wrapped around or zip locked very well due to its flexibility. Hope that helps.
1 very important question I have: Haven't really found proper guidance for this yet. (Haven't asked Josh Morgan yet either.) What's the best way to use a gimbal from a passenger side window of a car while following a biking group?
Haha, I would just make sure you have a wrist strap attached to the gimbal. Going at that speed, safety will play a major part. After trucks, vans would be my second choice 😅
@@SePark LMAO. Very good point. For the sake of argument though, let's say we have a closed set arrangement. My challenge on this one shoot was I couldn't get my Crane 2 motors to keep up and also the contraption was heavy as shit with a monitor attached. This HDMI module could certainly take care of that one issue though while also keeping a smaller spatial footprint than a gimbal with a monitor on it's side. I'm lucky my XH1 HDMI port stayed out. I guess I'll consider going handheld if we can't get an alternative shot or just get an alternative shot.:)
Joaquim Gonsalves that’s why filming moving vehicle is just so much more fun! Monitor is not very aerodynamic... 😁. It sounds like you were going pretty fast! More tools you have in your toolbox, you can react with different creative shots. 🤙
how did you get the image and motion control to work in the same place. I got mine today and I can only either do motion control or with over to view image.
Hi Benjamin! Unfortunately Weebill S doesn't support all the camera control for the Sony cameras in the CCS mode. You probably seen the compatibility list: oss.zhiyun-tech.com/zyplay/instructions_edit/supportmodel/WEEBILL-S-Camera-Compatibility-List.pdf If you use the gimbal only, you can use the USB-C cable and put the mode to Panasonic to make the camera control work. However that turns off IBIS. Once you have the image transmission module, you can't use the USB-C cable tho. Sony recently released a SDK for their camera controls, so in the future models, this should be easier for gimbal companies to adapt.
In the corporate interview, did you use subject tracking while on the slider to keep him centered and add a panning parallax effect? I have a motorized panning slider but looking at upgrading to this system to give it a smother pan than what the slider does.
I just centered him without any subject tracking for simple parallax effect. You probably seen it, but Edelkrone makes the Headone which could add the panning rotational movement along with the slider. I could technically mount the gimbal on the slider for same effect, but I would have to use two different apps and that’s not seem less. Edelkrone Headone is in my Wishlist. 😁
First time I’ve seen the camera mounted to a tow hitch like that. Really creative and awesome.
DMV local. 👍🏼
Haha me too Joe! Probably a common scene in LA but not DC area. Thanks for the comment and representing DMV!
Still blows my mind that you don’t have a million subs. You make better videos than most UA-camrs out there. Great work 👍🏼

Nobody tells you that you need to order a Micro HDMI-to-Mini HDMI cable in order for this to work. It does NOT come with that cable.
Mine did
I was fucked. I had to reorder the one with HDMI package.

Exemple : shoot on the weebill a Lumix S1 + 50mm S-Pro 1,4 ... the depth of filed os so narrow and the contrast only AFC of the body may occur in some loose of the focus point.
If the tracking is made with a separate view from a phone, it will follow the subject and the camera will try to make the focus.
Can we do this with the weebill S ? I mean track an object using a phone attached to the camera?
Were you using a Sony a7iii with weebill s in that shoot. Got a question.
Awesome cut bro. And props for the hardware build and test case.
1 question: it didn't look like you were using an Anamorphic lens, were the cinematic flares After Effects? (they look awesome)
What can get better then GTR's, gimbals and cameras? 😂 This was a great idea Se! 👍
Chris! Thanks man! It's one of those where it's only a good idea after it's done. Imagine me explaining this to my wife before filming it.... LOL
@@SePark haha I only could imagine, my wife would stare me down too! Haha
@@ChrisMizo haha! I'm already thinking of how I am going to tell my wife about my next video idea.... LOL. (jk. she's very supportive,,, most of the times) 😁
Awesome video brother!! Any tips for pulling focus from a phone while using the transmitter? I have been trying to figure this out for over a year, end up disconnecting the transmitter and doing everything on camera because I can not get it to pull focus from my phone. Any help would be deeply appreciated!!!
What lights do you use to create the red and blue background
It’s Yongnuo RGB light. I left an affiliate link of the exact one in my most recent video 🤙😁
Ayye a fellow Asian who drives an F-150!
We are a rare sighting.. LOL.
Question for a7III users:
Is it actually disabling the face recognition in 4K ?
Thank you
Whoa 😮
Wait this is sick! Does it work with most Zhiyun Gimbals or just the Weebill S? Also, went to the website and it doesn't even have a link to purchase it.
Thanks man! It works with all the newer model Zhiyun gimbals (Crane 2S, Crane 3S, and Webill S). The purchase link in my video description worked for me. If you get it from the official Zhiyun store, don't forget to use my discount code! Appreciate your support!
i running an a7iii on this gimbal with the transmission module, rigged up the cables according to instructions but still cant seem to control the camera settings from the app...
How do you get it to track smoothly. Mine is jerking a bit. I'm using it on a slider and when I box an object which I'm trying to track smoothly. It does track but with a jerry movement. Help!
Sir..how you mount the webill s at the truck?
can i know how you attach the gimbal to the truck？
your video is awesome! you did a great job! does the transmitter works with the sony a7 ii? i didn´t see it in the video which camera you are using.
Theres some shake in the driving videos. Was that added in post or is the setup actually pretty bouncy on the road??
Im getting close to building this but Im trying to figure out how the footage will actually come out. Will there be any shake or does the gimbal absorb most if not all of it. I am after perfectly smooth shots.
What kind of car mount or can you do a video about the setup you used
I cant get both video feed and sync motion working at the same time. How do you do that?
Thanks for that video! I was just wondering, how did you enable face AF on your Sony while connected to the Zhiyun Transmitter? Isn’t Sony disables face AF when connected to any HDMI connection.. like an external monitor? Thanks.
I have a big problem! I downloaded the app and there was no weebill s option... I can’t use any of the features that are so highly praised in this video... :( can someone help?
I use a fujifilm xt4 with an iPhone 11 Pro. I can’t get the image transmission to pop up on the zy play app. Can you help with this?
Hey I’m using the image trans 2.0 and it just freaks out when I try the tracking
Great video. What slider are you using at 4 minutes?
Barry Clack thank you! That slider is Edelkrone SliderOne v2. Little pricy but app works well and battery life is very good.
Hi what setting do you need to change in the a7riii for the transmitter to work? when i hit record button both my phone and camera screen goes black. but when i unplug the multi cable it somehow works
The battery life is 1.5 hours. If the transmount is connected to the gimball. Is the battery life longer? If yes, how much?
Thank you
Would this work with a panasonic lumix dmc g7? The camera is famous for not working with monitors for video (only stills). Would this solve that?
Btw, thanks for the video, you really managed to get me exited about it XD
Awesome
Thank you!!
Sama sama . Terbaik lah hasil vidionya
Is this a reliable system? How does it permorm in real situations ? The hdmi signal and remote controller are good? And what about focus pulling through external controller? Is it good? I don't know it I should buy this complete system (that seems to be fa fantastic) or buy a hollyland 300 pro with a moza iFocus for monitoring and pulling focus.
What do you think?
What is the model of lens in your Sony?
Hi Albert! The one I used for this shoot was the Sony 28mm F2.0
Sony in your Angle
Yo, remember how I said I was gonna buy the S, and then said how I'm gonna super buy it after watching your video. Well... NO I AM ABSOLUTELY 100% MAX DESTRUCTION MODE Gonna buy it, tomorrow actually, They called me from the store to let me know it arrived. Even more hyped now, great idea man. Were you setting's maxed out on the gimbal for minimal shake? I was just wondering how it handles a lot of the micro shakes during driving, those are notorious for ruining shoots, that's why people mostly use Movi's on these kinds of shoots.
Haha, yes I vividly remember that. Best plot twist on a comment! There were definitely some shakes whenever the truck hit some sort of bumps. I also have sports suspension on the truck instead of the off road so it's not the ideal setup. The settings were at medium power. But as a budget setup, it got some shots I would have never imagined. I love the diverse capability of this gimbal. Get hyped!! LOL
@@SePark ohhhh, I see. Thanks for the reply, and the transparency, that info is pure gold, I'll try a similar setup with everything maxed out, really curious as to how well it will perform. Also, gj on using the phone as a controller plus the Wi-Fi info for where you should be seated when controlling the gimbal, small info like that is the difference between getting the shoot and spending loads more time on set. ♥️♥️♥️
Tech support sucks for these gimbals.
Awesome! With the image transmission, could you lock the image follow mode to yourself? So a person can vlog, walk and talk at the same time?
Grrrr.... this Weebill S is killing me!!! I have the Ronin but your video truly is a Game Changer especially for 1 man crews like myself... Thank you so much ....!!!!!
Thanks! Yes, that's what this is really made for. It's actually more convenient since you can see yourself and track yourself from the phone screen away from the gimbal. Ronin SC, the phone has to be mounted on top of the gimbal and it doesn't support front facing camera so that's not really convenient.
Great! BUT... why no one talks about the tiny little thing that could ruin everything?! Maybe I'm just too clueless? The HDMI cable! None of this will work without it and a regular HDMI won't do. Is it the mini HDMI? I have the Sony 6400 so I know I need the micro HDMI, but the transmitter does not take a regular HDMI. Can you please tell us about exactly which HDMI cable input the transmitter has? Thx
Her Soul Vacation good question. It uses the mini HDMI to micro HDMI cable. I believe the production model ships with one. When I got mine, I had to buy it separately from Amazon.
@@SePark When my transmitter arrived, it did not have the HDMI cable. I purchased 3 before I could figure out the transmitter has a MINI and not a standard. Another thing, the instructions from Zhiyun say that the HDMI is OPTIONAL! Why would they say that? The thing does not work without the HDMI cable.
Her Soul Vacation 😆 yeh HDMI cable is kinda important to see the camera image. LOL... I wonder what happened. The one I got was a Nanosecond Slim HDMI cable and it’s working out well.
Are there any videos with good light but indoors? Anyone has done a little vlogging test with either the G50 or G60? I was considering them for some simple recording work but these videos with the color aberration in the mountains... I am really curious. Does anyone has used them I doors for recording their home events or little projects? I'll appreciate any video indoor.
have gymbal holdin the gymbal is smooth video ....you should try it
Don Gerra Marco haha that perception is kinda genius!! Gimbalception! 😆
@@SePark
😆
I have a Sony a7sIII and a Weebill-S and the smart tracking doesn´t work! The image is displayed with a delay of several seconds. I have a Iphone 6,
does anyone know any solution?
Hey, Great video!!!! I'm a step away from getting this gimbal. I have a question, Did you film this in 4K and the transmitter scale it down to 1080 to your phone?
I was thinking the same thing, does it scale the camera image to 1080 or just scale the transmitted image to 1080. I shoot in 4K 25
Is it only for webill S or it can be used on its own module? If can be used on its own, might buy 1 as director monitor or mount it with my crane 2
Dato Aliff Alex you can use it as it’s own image monitor. If you use it with your Crane 2 of course you won’t have the same kind of control over your gimbal when using the image transmission module app (within ZY Play app). You will just have to mount the module via a cold shoe. It has a 1/4 inch thread. 👍
Se Park thanks for the reply!
Hi. I have the same setup, when I hit record on iPhone, image disappears. I’m sure it’s a Sony a7iii setting. Could you share your settings? Thank you.
Setup 3 > HDMI settings > HDMI info display (off)
hey great video, thank you. How can i connect with a laptop? i like to use it with OBS Studio.
Can you tell me if face detection autofocus works while transmitting?
Hi Adam, depends on the camera. Example: not when filming in 4K in Sony A7 III. Sony a7s iii on the other hand, should be a no problem! 😆🤙👍
Subed after 20sec of video
racke wow welcome!!! I appreciate your support very much. This is a great time! 2020 is going to be a big year for this channel!
Great work. What do you use to attach the transmitter to a camera? My transmitter is on the way, I am searching for it but no luck
it mounts to the bottom of the weebil
Excellent Video & One thing sir, I Have sony a7iii, Can I show preview of camera Screen, change camera setting (like ISO, Shutter, Aperture), object track, and motion control (Like
gyro) All of these can run simultaneously mobile screen ? pls put making of this video with detail & mainly Image Transmission setting
For some reason I can’t get the phone to connect to the image transmission modual. It’ll find it but the video won’t show . Gh5
One more reason to get one. I remember building a roof mount for my truck 20+ years ago thinking I wish I have one of these rigs for it. Finally, it is here.
Haha Steve, cameras and gimbals are just getting smaller and smaller. I can't imagine how big the camera was 20 years ago. These days , I could probably mount this to a motorcycle.... in spring tho. Definitely not in winter! LOL
What hdmi chord did you use to set up the module? I've read a lot of reviews online where people are struggling with the setup due to no hdmi chord included. I'm also shooting on Sony
Hi Nicholas, great question. You are correct. You need a good reliable high speed HDMI cable to make this work well. I don't recommend the coil type or thick HDMI cables since they tend to sag or get knocked on a nearby someone or an object. The one I use now (the one I used for the car shoot) is a flexible high speed HDMI cable. It's super light so it won't weigh down and sag. Sony's HDMI port is not secure enough for any heavy HDMI cables. I updated the Amazon links and you'll find the link to the exact cable I used for my A7 III there. It is on a longer side, but it can be neatly wrapped around or zip locked very well due to its flexibility. Hope that helps.
and make sure the cable you are getting is Micro HDMI to Mini HDMI (Sony A7 III is micro and Zhiyun Image Transmitter is mini)
@@SePark Thank you I really appreciate the advice. Stay safe out there brother
1 very important question I have: Haven't really found proper guidance for this yet. (Haven't asked Josh Morgan yet either.) What's the best way to use a gimbal from a passenger side window of a car while following a biking group?
Haha, I would just make sure you have a wrist strap attached to the gimbal. Going at that speed, safety will play a major part. After trucks, vans would be my second choice 😅
@@SePark LMAO. Very good point. For the sake of argument though, let's say we have a closed set arrangement. My challenge on this one shoot was I couldn't get my Crane 2 motors to keep up and also the contraption was heavy as shit with a monitor attached. This HDMI module could certainly take care of that one issue though while also keeping a smaller spatial footprint than a gimbal with a monitor on it's side. I'm lucky my XH1 HDMI port stayed out. I guess I'll consider going handheld if we can't get an alternative shot or just get an alternative shot.:)
Joaquim Gonsalves that’s why filming moving vehicle is just so much more fun! Monitor is not very aerodynamic... 😁. It sounds like you were going pretty fast! More tools you have in your toolbox, you can react with different creative shots. 🤙
how did you get the image and motion control to work in the same place. I got mine today and I can only either do motion control or with over to view image.
Hi, do you know if the ccs mode will work for Sony A6400? Don't think it is compatible, not sure if there is a workaround for it.
Hi Benjamin! Unfortunately Weebill S doesn't support all the camera control for the Sony cameras in the CCS mode. You probably seen the compatibility list: oss.zhiyun-tech.com/zyplay/instructions_edit/supportmodel/WEEBILL-S-Camera-Compatibility-List.pdf
If you use the gimbal only, you can use the USB-C cable and put the mode to Panasonic to make the camera control work. However that turns off IBIS. Once you have the image transmission module, you can't use the USB-C cable tho. Sony recently released a SDK for their camera controls, so in the future models, this should be easier for gimbal companies to adapt.
What slider are you using at 4:02
Will the transmission module work with the Weebill? I don’t have the S
Does the tracking focus work in 120 fps? :)
In the corporate interview, did you use subject tracking while on the slider to keep him centered and add a panning parallax effect? I have a motorized panning slider but looking at upgrading to this system to give it a smother pan than what the slider does.
I just centered him without any subject tracking for simple parallax effect. You probably seen it, but Edelkrone makes the Headone which could add the panning rotational movement along with the slider. I could technically mount the gimbal on the slider for same effect, but I would have to use two different apps and that’s not seem less. Edelkrone Headone is in my Wishlist. 😁
Se Park I definitely want that feel JR one system at some point the gimbal is a must and of course much cheaper haha. Thanks for the reply.
Does time lapse feature work without transmission module?
WARNING: The transmitter only works with a very small number of phones! Don't waste your time or money until you are sure your phone is on the list.
so do this
