The Best settings - Zhiyun Weebill Lab

[@KramTurbine]

LEE. Dude you are the man. This is one of the only, if not, the only, video I have seen directly addressing the "jittery" reviews of this gimbal and giving a detailed response and solution. Thanks for taking the time in making this video. I have my Weebill arrivng this week definitely will work with the Axis settings.

[@BryanWilkat]

Lee has some good tips in here and I have yet to try his suggested settings but I can attest that a lot of people who review gear on sites like Amazon or BH don't seem to understand the importance of properly balancing the camera. Any gimbal out there will deliver shaky terrible footage if you don't set it up right, or take the time to balance your gear and in a lot of ways it's more finicky than a glidecam but if you know what you're doing you can get some really beautiful shots with either one. Some things that people don't think about is that the weight of a lens hood added after balancing or an ND filter, is enough to throw off your balance so zooming in or switching lenses also definitely requires a re-balance.

I have been frustrated with my Weebill Lab due to an overly jumpy Pan follow. Much appreciated!

[@yoginwidhi6676]

I tried many settings in youtube and youre the only life saver here, thankyou

[@TizOnly1]

Holy shit thank you! I've had a Crane 3 for a couple of months, and all my footage has been jumpy. It's so hard to find good info on the settings. This is a lifesaver

[@gabequezada2066]

exactly what I needed to see. Thank you Lee

[@FrankFang1025]

Really useful tips, Lee, thanks for sharing!

[@k2l11]

Great video for showing the raw footage and what to expect . Most videos are post processed and as a newbie it doesn’t represent what we expect :) thanks 🙏🏻

[@AyushSharmaa]

Thnaks for this tutorial! I have a crane 3 Lab but I think these settings should work.

[@13lamjh1]

this video need to be shared to more ppl

[@stanisawzarychta9642]

Thanks, I always set this back to your settings after an update :)

[@MikeDewey]

Just tested them out, lightyears better! Thanks bro!

[@WilliamHenryAlbert]

I'm just trying out this gimbal on my Panasonic LX100 and the footage is truly awful! Even standing still it is not stable. It's balanced perfectly. It looks like There's lots of judder when walking. I had the Crane M with no problems at all so I am aware of how to walk, pan etc. Will try these settings to see if it makes any difference. Thank you for posting.

[@ChrisNewham]

Very useful thanks for sharing, def shows that smooth footage is totally achievable with this gimbal.

[@aeshoukas]

Hey thanks for this very helpful video! By any chance, are the ZY Play app controls still working with your Weebill LAB? I just purchased one and the app isn't allowing for any joystick controls or control of the focus/zoom motor. I was able to update the firmware and apply your smooth settings, however. Not getting much help Zhiyun on this, unfortunately - wondering if this is a problem for others!

[@shaharbinaboobacker6475]

Hey Lee...thanks for speaking about something none of the 'experts' care to touch upon. Can you please elaborate about the values you are assigning to the motor settings- how did you derive this to be the best for your setup? I have tried the preset options as well as custom values you have shown on my Crane 3 Lab but can't seem to get rid of jitters while even doing a slow walk, trying to analyse what I might be doing wrong here. Im using the BMPCC 4k with the Tilta cage (offset to the last 1/4 screw hole closest to battery) and paired it with a Helios 58mm mounted through a Viltrox M4/3 to EF converter.

[@LeeZavitz]

Shaharbin Aboobacker I assume you have it balanced perfectly? The other thing is that telephoto lenses don’t work well on gimbals bmpcc is m4/3 sensor and with 58mm lens that is like 116mm focal length. You will see every little tiny jitter no matter what gimbal you are on. Do you have anything wider you can shoot with? Crane3 can easily handle that weight you have though

[@overthecounterintel]

Are these custom modes saved into the gimbal, or in to the smart phone? In other words, do I need to connect my smart phone each time to access the custom modes?

[@realGilby]

Thanks! Helped a lot

[@Mikeshyne100]

You are the man!

[@raulcostantino1817]

thanks for the help buddy! that was super useful! :)

Great tutorial

[@arahman_als]

Thanks man that was a really useful I really appreciate what you are doing 👑

[@kucing714]

Hi, I have a question: I created a couple of scene modes, and now I want to delete some of them. But I don't see how I can do that. Can you explain me how to do this? Thanks in advance, Jack

[@greggumz4]

Phijay swipe left on the setting name in the list of scene modes. Like emails or anything else on an iPhone, swipe left to delete.

[@kucing714]

@@greggumz4 Thank you very much! 😃

[@iampresean]

Hi it seems that the weebill is always returning to de default scene walk for no reason, how to get my custom scene remains?

[@AllanSu]

So... Can you only access these custom settings via the phone app?

[@YoungBlaze]

what about for the lab 3 crane

[@michelstock]

Thanks, perfect parameters, now can begin serious thinks :-)

[@napatsaeng]

Very useful , save my life ✌️

[@slifox2752]

A bigger smooth pan setting is better for a 10m diameter walk orbit... don’t personally use ninja walk especially in the cold it’s bad for knee joints instead use mini steps no bigger then the length of your foot to reduce bobbing...

[@PeachFrostStudio]

This definitely helped! Thank you so much!

[@markshirley01]

Thanks - that's very helpful - I'm hoping to get a Z6 soon to go on a Weebill. I'm hoping the IBS on the Z6 will help me get some stable video.

[@johnmedany9294]

There's setting directly for the Z6 in the firmware - I'm literally balancing it as I watch this .. so hopefully all will be well

[@CarlBergsdorf]

I got one today for my A6300 and have been having a lot of trouble with the gimbal not letting me take pictures (and timelapse as a result of that). The camera focus if I hold the button down halfway but doesnt shoot if I press it all the way which is strange and annoying. I've tried searching the internet but there is zero info on that specific matter. Also I get sometimes the text "step 1" on the display which doesn't go away unless I restart the gimbal which is also strange. Very disappointing

[@beyondmagicfilms7963]

Thanks for the video! For some strange reason, whenever I calibrate, I can see that the settings are changing real time but when I save it and turn off my phone and gimbal, the gimbal disregards the settings, I've tried 5 times, have you experienced a similar problem?

[@KardosoMedia]

Yes..it reverts to original settings when turned off...unfortunately you have to pair with the app and the custom settings will then load.

[@beyondmagicfilms7963]

@@KardosoMedia thank you so much for the info! I thought there was something wrong with mine. Is it like this with other gimbals too? When you adjust gimbal settings on the app and switch the gimbal and phone off then it doesn't register?

[@KardosoMedia]

Ya apparently it doesn’t stay..hoping they fix in update so we don’t have to connect with app every time

[@beyondmagicfilms7963]

@@KardosoMedia I hope so too! Does this happen to other gimbals as well?

[@KardosoMedia]

I’m not sure to be honest

[@stefangimpl4138]

does anyone know how to save the control rate parameter settings in the weebill lab? so that once you have changed them in the app the stay that way even after turning the gimbal off and on again without using the app? thank you

[@greggumz4]

Stefan Gimpl zhiyun has told me you have to connect your phone first before using your custom settings. I hope they fix it with firmware in the future.

[@KardosoMedia]

Hope they fix it in an update. i rarely use the app.

[@greggumz4]

Kardoso Media here is a video I put together showing a workaround to save it without needing your phone in the future. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH2xhp1oobSJnKM

[@sottaautomation1285]

hye. is it normal if the gimbal has small vibration? vibration at certain angle. already balance it. please help me.

[@AshraafM]

Hi do you have any idea why when in Pan Follow mode, my gimbal rolls a little bit when i am panning the camera? Its perfectly balanced tho

[@OLuvin]

Zhiyun re-released the Weebill Lab (look on B&H). Is yours the "updated" version?

[@nathanaltai]

Hey man, can you please do a video on how to balance this gimbal? I keep having trouble with mine for some reason. I've seen other vids on this, but nothing have worked form e so far.

[@aaphotofilm]

this is amazing thanks for helping

[@torphotographic2888]

Hi Lee, I bought the Weebill Labs gimbal for my X-T3. Any idea when it will be fully compatible for Fujifilm?

[@demasistudios]

Thank you Lee!

[@juspain1]

Once you change the settings like you did with the app does that mean the gimbal will always use that setting even if it isn’t hooked up to your phone?

I'm afraid it resets when it is not connected to the phone... Problem for me also.

[@KardosoMedia]

Yes..it reverts to original settings when turned off...unfortunately you have to pair with the app and the custom settings will then load.

[@juspain1]

Kardoso Media mine actually never reverted to its original settings and stayed the same as I had it set in the app. But problem now is I can’t upload firmware cause it keeps saying WiFi isn’t connected when it is.

[@KardosoMedia]

Go to your wifi settings outside of the app and connect to the weebill through there first

[@juspain1]

Kardoso Media I’ve done that several times and it’s not working. I was able to download it to my phone but it won’t upload to the Weebill lab. I’ve turned on and off and all that several times and it’s not working. I’ll keep trying

[@addvisualworks8571]

How can I use the camera controls of the Weebill Lab with an external monitor (No phone) and the SonyA7III? It is impossible to do both at the same time and with the usb cable for sony only the record button works

[@tecnolatino5552]

Hi, Great video! I changed my settings to the ones you suggested and the quality definitely is better know... but I started to feel a vibration which I suppose are the motors that now are in “High”. Is that ok? Thanks in advance.

[@MattWhittingham]

Tecno Latino try medium for the motor strength. Sometime high not always the best for lighter set up

[@alanabley525]

Could you please tell me what smartphone holder you're using?

can this gimbal actually support 24105 lens..

what focal length you use?

Thanks, is there a way to keep these as the default settings? Or I have to open the phone app each time. Thanks.

[@greggumz4]

illuminis I’ve asked zhiyun the same question multiple times. They always tell me to use the setting you must connect your phone first. I hope firmware fixes it in the future.

samuel brownlee I have the A9, used it fine with past gimbals, not sure why this would be different

[@nicklausponte1680]

Do i have to connect my weebill everytime to access the settings?

[@AbsoluteBodyDominanceMatt]

I bought mine 1 week ago and it seems like they have fixed the firmware. I didn´t need to connect my phone and weebil to access custom settings. It was there already as a default next time I turned it on

[@vincentvalentine1703]

This settings good for Sony a6300 sigma 16mm?

[@nicholassmith7723]

I wouldn't set the motors to high with that setup. Probably try medium at the highest. Remember the stronger you set the motors the less battery life you'll get

[@l.s.11]

I don't know... it still didn't seem all that smooth and looked a little bit jittery. Don't know why you didn't show us the footage full screen... ;/

[@LeeZavitz]

Lenard Stipkovic only shaky when I adjusted the camera with my hand. I wanted to show it was in real time without any warp stabilizer or anything. But I can’t please everyone I guess.

[@l.s.11]

@@LeeZavitz And I appreciate the effort, I really do. But I can't really agree that the results are "smooth". I dunno, maybe I am expecting too much from such a small gimbal...

[@finnillson4808]

Looked smooth to me. He adjusted it with his hands at certain points to point the camera where he wanted it. People want a robotic camera arm smoothness for $600 lol
