Weebill Lab Zoom And Focus Motor Tutorial

[@saintphallephotography6146]

This is adds a whole new dimension to using gimbals !!! 🙏

[@Infosmercial]

Yeah its pretty cool. Thanks for watching!

[@ZisimosZizos]

Hello my friend! Very nice videos! I just bought the Weebill Lab and I'm using it with Sony a6000. I want to know if is a way to have zoom in and zoom out without the follow focus.

[@AndrieliOlekszechen]

Obrigada

[@railpressureflip]

Underrated channel.

[@jimmyhidalgo2680]

Only 2 mins in and This already looks like a complicated mess lol. Great vid tho! Very informative and pretty easy to understand

[@Infosmercial]

Ha thanks. Yeah that’s just the nature of follow focus attachments. It’s a lot to take in, but seriously do it once and it’s easy. Thanks for watching the vid! 👍

[@TheRedJin]

Can you connect two motors at the same time? One for focus and one for zooming

[@akcivan]

thanks bro

[@POVLA]

Thanks again for another great video!

[@Infosmercial]

Pshhhhhhttt. Of course.

[@steveswanproductionstt6355]

Hi. Hey my question revolves around zoom, how does the gimble handle the weight shift when you zoom? Should I make limited zoom movements? How far can you zoom and what lens did you test that on?

[@GarrettShaw]

lenses like the 18-105 that he's using zoom inside of the body of the lens. So the weight doesn't shift enough to throw the balance off. I'm fairly certain it would only work well with this type of zoom lens, however i think the more practical use is in the focus adjustment for most lenses.

[@tooyeggvideos2285]

Can I adjust the zoom manually with my hand without the motor and without locking the gimbal or cold that damage it?

[@projectjive2875]

Got a hard time balancing a73 with tamron 28-75 to weebill with zoom focus.🙈

[@mrmeza78]

I returned mine. It kept slipping off the lens and it would barley move the zoom ring.

[@DentargPL]

How to get this view in zy play to be able to choose follow focus control? I do not have such option :(

[@alexandertyutyunnik5292]

hi brad. I have a weebill lab. also bought a zoom / focus servo cmf-04 and it does not work from a wheel on a gimbal. through the application zy play works. what should be done?

[@christianlopez4926]

So far, I love this thing, but the battery life is less than great... specially compared to the Crane 2 and Plus. Is there a way to purchase additional batteries. I ordered a couple from Amazon but they didn’t fit, just a hair too long. Any ideas?

[@CosmosFuzzy]

Translated Sentences, Korean-English Hi. I'm sorry to ask you a question here three years after it was posted, but I'm asking you one because I think you're the only one who can give me a proper answer. I was using cov01(TX), 02(RX), and 05(controller) for CRANE2S like PT-head, and recently bought two additional cmf06 zoom and focus servo motors. The problem is that the two servo motors move simultaneously while turning the focus wheel of the remote controller cov05. Similarly, when the zoom button is pressed, it moves simultaneously. Of course, I set one to zoom and the other to focus. The ZYPLAY APP works properly, and the wheels of the gimbal work properly. Only the zoom/focus operation of the remote controller is a problem (and even the motor spins quickly) I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if there's anything I can help with even a little information.

[@houseofintent]

Just bough the weebill s and the focus motor to zoom. Do you have to reset the end points each time you power it on? I have the Ronin and to calibrate the the stop, you just have to press a button twice and it detects where the end points are for the zoom. That can get annoying if you have to do that every time you turn it off or move to another location

[@AutoMotivatedTV]

Is this compatible with other rigs like dji or scorp-c

[@captaincanadaKW]

1:59 as all things should be

[@FEELPROD1]

Is it not possible to control the zoom of 18 105 with weebill without going through this accessory? as with the crane 1 v2?

[@Infosmercial]

No you cannot control zoom the same way you could before and you do need the motor for the weebill.

[@Roman_Shilov]

@@Infosmercial очень плохо ))

[@IgnasSkudrickas]

if this is true, its a very big dissapointment. Even worse the fact that you cannot silmustaniously use both zoom and focus, you need to choose only one, .cause there is only on USB C output from the gimble. I hope I am wrong, and there is a way to control zoom at least via ZY Play app.

[@hkiceman001]

Hi, I bought this weebill lab few days ago and find that cannot fully support my camera A6400. Still I need to update the firmware or do something for it? Can I use my A6400 & 18-135mm with this motor? I need your help, please!

[@GautamVariya]

My LUMIX GH5 is hang with cable connection and Android version is not working please what can I do ?

[@PozitiveVibes]

Is there a way to control the (power) zoom of a Sony lens via USB (and the wheel) and the focus ring via the focus motor? Is there some quick-switch button for the focus wheel in order to control the USB or the Focus motor?

[@ruzicmedia5226]

yup following this channel lol great stuff!

[@tobymcmullen]

Using a gh3 and super bummed I cant do moving time lapse without the image transfer. It was definitely a selling point, looking forward to getting my focus motor though

[@Infosmercial]

Oooph yeah that kinda sucks. Luckily a good deal of the other features should work just fine for you. The focus motor is a really cool addition. I've really liked using it so far. Thanks for watching the video!

[@baguskurniawan6529]

The weebill s cant do the moving timelapse like crane plus do? Or they can do it but need the zhiyun image transmission?

[@LojaWorldView]

Hey man, can we use some parts of this video with portuguese sub in our chanel?

[@FlySquareMedia]

Fantastic videos...!!! can you use the follow focus with the battery grip on the bottom of the camera, or does it raise it too high.. TIA..!!

[@ddt5497]

Is there a way to control both zoom and focus without resetting the motor?

[@IgnasSkudrickas]

Hi Brad. Thanks for video. I cannot find hiw to control electronicaly lens zoom if my motor is dedicated for focus. I use same lens like in your video. On the app On zoom slide it moves the motor wich is conected to focus, on focus slide does nothing. Thanks

[@tiagoeventos291]

Me tire uma dúvida! O mesmo motor de foco pode ser utilizado no zoom da câmera? De já obrigado por ajudar a nós aqui do Brasil!

[@carlo7774]

y si funciona el hacer zoom o se desequilibra la cámara? no he visto que alguien haga zoom si supuestamente trae el follow focus ya sea para poner en el arillo de foco o de zoom. en focus no hay problema, pero en zoom?

[@9MAR63]

Hi How is possible to control the focus in continuos way and not run run run to move like a screw?

[@Bigheadedwon]

App looks pretty sweet, but when I checked the App Store the reviews are mostly horrible. A lot of people say it’s pretty much unusable. Is the android version any better? Also maybe someone knows if zhiyun labs has any plans to add support for the BMCC4K? All they ever seem to say when asked about a certain camera is to check their official list and stay tuned. For anyone who uses the app with iOS, is it really that bad? And if it is as bad as the reviews. Are you at least seeing some improvements over the last few updates?

[@matiasilizarbeverastegui7404]

Can I use this follow focus with my Nikon D5200 + 18-55mm or with my 50mm?

[@Infosmercial]

Yes absolutely you can.

[@dronesvideos]

hey , thanks for the great vid. if i want to control the focus with the app , do i need the video transforme? or not? will it work with fujix t1?

[@AndrewLXiong]

Hi Bret thanks for the great info...so i just ordered/received the Transmount Servo Zoom/Focus controller a few days ago, installed it and at first I was able to pulled focus w/ some test shots but now it only zoom in when i turn the wheel to focus--not sure what happened?! Is there a button i press to turn on/off between the two features --there was no info that comes w/ the box? Also, my other question is how do we activate the "record" button on the handle of the gimbal--there's no literature/video i can find on that as well...would appreciate it very much if you could provide some info on these two questions, thanks!

[@scottkraller2198]

Hello, great videos and thank you. Do you know when your next video on this is coming out?

[@baguskurniawan6529]

Hello kind sir, is the "ring belt" on the lens which is they only provide 2 pcs, can be used with universal ring belt on the ebay or amazon for focus pulling? Thanks for the response love from indonesia

[@adria3050]

Can you change focus wheel speed? Thanks

[@denvera1g1]

Can this control the lens' power zoom through USB the same way it can control ISO, shutter speed and EV comp

[@7gpanda744]

HI... do you need to turn off camera stabilizing feature when using weebill?

[@jaimetopete3964]

Hi how are u? Its compatible with NIKON D5600? I buy all the equipment but my follow focus doesnt work even the live view. HELP ME PLEASE!

Will there be an update that will allow me to link my g85 to the weebill?

[@fecke9296]

It would be extremely nice to get the servofocus to work, but guess what the Weebill won't upgrade. I'm so done with this. Very upsetting.

Can I use canon xc 10 with Zhiyun weebill Lab.

Dude. Ho did you plug your 6300 to ZY play app?? With my my 6300 I can't see the footage from camera via app

Do i need the CMF-04 or CMF-06 for the weebill s?

[@farding1]

CAN WE USE XC 10 NIKON WITH THIS.

[@worldrunnersmedia7430]

👍

[@Melanie-Heinrich-Photographer]

Yeah Bret you seem to be the go to guy with the We Bill lab questions. Please help me with my question. I recently bought the Transmount quick set up but it seems to be missing one of the parts that stays on either the sling mode arm or the tripod. Am I missing something here? Why would they sell only one of the connectors. That doesn't make any sense to me at all. PLease help! THank you!!!

[@Infosmercial]

Hey Melanie. So the transmount comes pieces together. You have to pull down on the gripped bottom part and then pull the top part with the 1/4 -20 stud away. I hope that makes some sense. It can be a little difficult to get it apart if it isn't attached to something.

[@Melanie-Heinrich-Photographer]

Infosmercial thank you for the quick reply!! I figured out how to get the two pieces apart but it only works for one connection. So I’m missing the usefulness of the part, quick connect for the same connection. I thought it would have three parts. Two that stay on permanently. Know what I mean? Thanks for the reply

[@Infosmercial]

Ahh I see what you mean. Yes you do need two full sets of the transmount to get the usefulness out of it. It is just 2 pieces per transmount.

[@Melanie-Heinrich-Photographer]

Thanks, Had to make sure. What is their reasoning for not including a three part system? Seems to me I’ll be throwing one part away.

[@Infosmercial]

Sorry for the delay. So the thinking is that you plug two of the male parts on both of the threads on the weebill for sling and upright mode. Then you take the two female connectors and plug them on to the included tripod and another accessory like a monopod. That way you can either connect two tripods at once or quickly switch between a monopod and a small tripod.

[@barts.3362]

I can't Control the Focus from inside the Zhiyun App. Why not ? :/

[@jakecameron2651]

Hi. I have been trying to set up my new zoom and focus motor on my weebill and it is not working. I did everything like in this video, the orange light turns on and flashes, but when i turn the knob, nothing happens. i also noticed that when turned off, the motor lets moves freely but once i turn my weebill on, the focus motor locks up.

[@jakecameron2651]

and in the settings in "priority" the wheel is not off so it's something else

[@divinodayacap3313]

Dang No Sample footage?

[@albertkoschaba8529]

I don't understand 😕 he presents the video with weebill s but the the focus motor connection to gimbal it's different to my weebill s ? can someone tell me is there different weebill s ? look like he make it special weebill s just for him !!! humm....

[@hawky5609]

When will the wireless transmission be compatible with canon?? 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[@paulconway1176]

How do you get around 'focus by wire' on electronic lens with A-B Hardstops? (Subscribed)

[@Infosmercial]

Sorry for the delay. So there technically is no way around the limitations of focus by wire since it is non linear. The hard stops will always work, but as a result of focus by wire, the focus may be off. Makes it kinda tough to do accurate focus pulls 😖. It works great with manual lenses and electronic focus that is linear (certain Sony lenses have it nowadays).

[@paulconway1176]

Infosmercial many thanks, last question have you tried any Rokinon type lens? The thread doesn’t work well will my Eldelkrone follow focus which turned me off getting the Zhiyun FF? Also great video.

[@Infosmercial]

You mean the rokinon cine lenes with gears right? I haven’t tried it yeah, but did spend some time looking at the edelkrone. It seems to have a slightly wider gear pitch and a slightly stubbier gear. The Zhiyun gear appears to be rather pointed and a bit tighter of a gear pitch. I’d like to think this would mean it would fit deep into the lens gears well and avoid any sort of slippage. That’s the best I can tell you for now. In my use so far using the gear rings with Zhiyun it works great. Pulling is incredibly responsive and rather smooth. Thanks for watching the vid btw.

Hi. I need some advice, please. Is it okay to sell Crane 2 and buy Weebill lab? I use it for wedding filming with Panasonic Gh5. Thank you

[@Infosmercial]

Yeah the gh5 and this are a great combo. I’m not sure how big and heavy the lenses you use are, but the full frame lenses I use, including some pretty big and heavy ones, balance just fine with my a7iii. I would say it is a safe bet to get the weebill.

[@mariusblidar]

@@Infosmercial The lenses is 12mm f2.0, 17mm f1.2, sigma 30mm f1.4. Thank you verry much Brett. All the best

[@Keefikus]

this doesn't pair well with the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 very well at all! Horrible time setting it up and the balancing is completely all over the place, hit sooo many problems trying to sort it, really bad design, the gimbal was the Weebill S as well.

[@MrXZiLE]

Can you use your phone as a monitor?

[@8020Alive]

Yes

[@LibreMax1994]

My Focus Motor Don't work on my weebill lab … Why ?

[@Infosmercial]

You may need to upgrade the firmware on the weebill. I do know that the motor was not working with earlier versions of the firmware. Starting with firmware 1.84 or 1.85, the motor became activated. What firmware are you on and what phone are you using?

[@Infosmercial]

Sky Kim yeah that is possible. I know that some features haven’t been activated yet for android. I have spoken with the team though and they say that android updates will be pushed out in early January.

[@LibreMax1994]

Thank you for your reponse. I use Android and my version is 1.82... I have test with an Iphone but there is any firmware downloading... Help me please 😁😅

[@Infosmercial]

Fair enough. I read that the android app was just updated to allow for firmware updates within the gimbal. Maybe you could take a look now and see if it works for you. Cheers!

[@Infosmercial]

That is interesting. I do have a tutorial on updating firmware on my channel you could check out. Also, I just read that the android app can now update the weebill firmware.

[@schwab6182]

Zoom Motor not working with my Sony a7iii and Tamron 28-75mm 2.8. Just wasted nearly two hours testing and fine tuning this motor on my Weebill Lab but the Motor kept skipping and loosing the AB Points. I also noticed the Tamron lens is sensitive on the zoom ring pressure... just little pressure from Motor ring and it would get harder to zoom which caused the Motor to skip even more. This motor is going back...
