[@EdwardMuldrewTech]

Awesome handy video and happy holidays! I love the set up you've got going on

[@Aerialsky]

Ahh!! Thanks for that little trick switching from manual back to movie mode! I’ve been racking my brain for days on why mine wasn’t working correctly! That did the trick on my A7sII. Thumbs up..great vid! Keep’em coming!

[@Infosmercial]

Glad that helped out! Yeah that took be a bit to figure that one out too haha.

[@dvampofo]

Informative video, thanks for making it

[@massimilianogadioli9386]

Great, I’ve but the weebil s and the module of transmission, in the next days I can try it’s

[@CharlesMiner]

love the image transmission! great videos man! If they make the motors stronger I'll definitely get a weebill

[@Infosmercial]

Thanks for checking them out. They have pushed out updates that increase the power of the motors. The updates are making everything work pretty darn well at this point. 🍻

[@CharlesMiner]

@@Infosmercial that is great news man! thanks for sharing this

[@Infosmercial]

😎 👍

[@bobhowtoandtravel9551]

When I got mine, the motors were set to "low", you should check your motor settings using the thumbwheel menu on the unitt, for a a7iii "medium" is more useful

[@chirantha]

Nice video man. Thanks !

[@Infosmercial]

You got it! Thanks for watching.

[@gokhanfiratmail]

Thank you for your video and information..

[@TheProgsTV]

Thank you!

[@Ashraf247]

Thanks so much brother for sharing this video

[@Ta3leemjo]

Hi, Really it is an awseome channel, thank you for all the information and hacks you offer. I just need to know how can I make weebil s gimbal move according to mobile movement?

[@mechellemcelfresh3844]

Works great

[@steveloudon7491]

Thanks for the great info. Where can I get that phone mount? Thanks

[@andyyen7912]

I am wondering I should buy it or not, cause I saw some video comments from youtube said it is the worst in terms of footage stability and its payload is not what ZHIYUN said actually. but also, there are some good words of it. Totally Confused.

[@AdrianChambre]

Just bought my Zhiyun Weebill and after half a day of struggling, I discovered that the Image Transmission from Sony a7rii to iPhone (7s) works only if the camera is set to Airplane Mode ON!!! Otherwise, fail to connect the image tethering with the phone! Good to know ;)

[@yannicreust6398]

Hello I bought a crane 2, does this also work with my sony a6300. I would like to see the Image of the Camera on my Ipad. Thanks

[@lucasmoh7190]

Hi! im using the a6300 and image transmission works. however, when i tap the take photo button...the camera doesnt take photo, while timelapse and motion timelapse function does work but camera does not take any photos.

[@sound4label]

When does it work with Fuji xt30 ? Thanks 😉

[@Ontario114]

This is so good and in-depth you've done a great job!!

[@Infosmercial]

Thanks Mason, glad you liked it. 👍

[@tmrawproductions5782]

Hello, i would like to use an object tracking option. Can it be done with with set up on video only? Or I will need to buy the separate part which fits under camera? Many thanks Tom

[@horstbieber553]

Hi. Thank you. Great job! Do you know about Nikon Z 6ii compability?

[@mmafightingforreal]

Any possibilities with canon cameras?

[@veryboringname.]

Can the image transmission module do camera control without the Weebill S?

[@Dannyshaver]

I have been struggling for a long time to pull focus from my phone while using the transmitter. Any tips on that please?

[@PaulODriscollfilm]

Using an a7iii and weebil s. I don't get the camera functions displaying on my weebil for some reason? It's connected and I can record from the weebil and digizoom but that's about it. My phone connects with Bluetooth (no WiFi option) but no image transition. Suggestions?

[@lukakoprivica]

Can the transmission be used without USB connection? Woulod it transmit video signal if connected only by HDMI?

[@mexploretravel7213]

How do I connect my XT3 to my Weebil S ? I don’t see Fujifilm in the menu.

[@slawekbass]

Does it work with the Canon EOS 5 mark IV? Do I need anything else (transmitter or something) in order to get it running? Thanks!

[@gadgetphilosophy8290]

Hey man. Thanks.

[@pandalization]

Where to buy the stuff external tool to add my phone on zhiyun stabilizer?

[@Latvijasfans]

Hi, thanks for the video! Any idea why transmount 2.0 not transmitting A77iii video mode video? I can see only in M and other modes.

[@fostercomedy9014]

Would this work with a canon t3i and what is the range on the wireless ability

[@BraydenGlascockMedia]

I have the canon rebel t6i and I just got the weebill. I know that I have to buy my own chord or adapter to be able to use this but which one would that be?

[@BrunoMizogutti]

can you set focus on the phone? and zoom on wheel?...

[@markpressburger906]

Is there any chance image transimission will be updated to work with Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K camera?

[@Peter11Aragon]

I know this is a older video so things might have changed but I am trying to connect a6400 to weebill-s, go through all the steps (can't find remote control but can find IR remote control) but it still won't connect. Any suggestions as to why?

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

I have the camera connected to a Sony A7 iii but have tried everything to connect to the wifi with no success. Any tips please?

[@muleyg]

What''s the maximum size phone that can be used with the Zhiyun phone holder.

[@nils_ninja]

Is the Follow Focus working about the cable ?? I hate the Option with separate servo Follow Focus. :(

[@jesserivas7305]

What is the purpose of the mini hdmi port on the wireless transmitter ?

[@CineChi]

Hello and thank you , What sony cheapest camera will transmit video ? thank you

[@shivsparkky]

So is this only specific to Zhiyun can this trick work on other ways with out a zhiyun app for video transmission?

[@usa7659]

I have bought a Panasonic LUMIX G9 Will it work ? Please let me know Thank you

[@adrianzaharia8885]

Hi. What are the settings for GH5? Thanks!

[@saeidmoradi6129]

Hi bro... There is a lot of latency that makes it useless i think. Do you think it will be better after next updates?

[@ariush_music]

does the hdmi have any delay ?? its very important .

[@youredointoomuch166]

I have the G85 from Panasonic. I can’t seem to get it to connect for image transmission. My Z app also tells me there’s an upgrade available to the firmware, but when I try to upgrade; it fails. I keep getting a notice that says cannot maintain battery level. Any tips? My Weebill Lab is vibrating when I try to use it.

[@BerserkerXP]

Why Zhiyun do not support the video Stream from the camera without any additional wifi tool like camoodoo?

[@michaelsmith5525]

Is there support for the Canon EOS R coming ? Is it feasible?

[@deejaytilo]

I have connected the smartphone to the weebil, but it is often laggy and jerky. Can transmission be improved? Or connect smartphone with the cable?

[@Scotian280]

I just went and bought the cannon cable instead of the sony cable by accident.. I have a Crane v2 (upgraded firmware to Plus).. Should the canon cable work? it fits.....

[@rebeccageorge4662]

trying to connect sony a7iii in this exact way and it connects, but only sort of... there's the little icon that shows it's connected on the little screen on the Weebill-S but none of the camera settings show up there and I can't change exposure settings from the gimbal. The only thing I'm able to do from the gimbal is start and stop the recording and if I press left and right on the scroll dial, it just zooms in the view on my camera screen. Any ideas what the problem is?

[@ciantisdall]

I was wondering is their much lagg on the video display on the iphone?

[@Snulven]

Can you charge the Sony a6300's battery with the Weebill?

[@rant9300]

But you can still use a monitor like feelworld? When you remove that?

[@zaddyjr8504]

how do you electronic zoom with the 18-105 sony lens? manual says it's compatible with a6500

[@adelhosny3331]

good afternoon , please I have a question , I have Weebil s & Camera Cannon , Why Error 70 appears during connecting to Zhiyun Gimbal?

[@kurtisrich]

Can you view rule of thirds on the app?

[@PaweKleszcz89]

Hi my lumix G80 doesn't work with cable, do you have some solution ?

[@garylam8419]

I need you help.. I did followed your instruction, I using Zhiyun crane 3 lab with Sony a6500. When I setting , I start using (M) mode setting. And connect with my iPhone 7.. All fine . I can control perfectly. Then when I turn to video mode. My iPhone all black. No images anymore?? Thanks for help. G.lam

[@JFBence]

Are there any standalone USB controllers? So I can have a camera on a rig and start recording pressing a button near the grip and not on the camera body?

[@arnoldking2658]

Image transmission is not working with my Fuji Xt-3. I bought the Zhiyun Weebil and the camera and now its not connecting.Didnt know it doesnt work with Fuji cameras .

[@kennethkang8780]

Hi, I have Nikon D3400. Can it be connected with iPhone 11 Pro Max? Thanks

[@kennethdj11]

hey bret. The moving timelapse is not working on my a6000. It seems the weebill can't trigger shooting photos on my a6000

[@dimpap1370]

Hello, does this transmitter work with Fuji?

[@jazzybeeff]

Hello. Does this phone holder work with Weebill-s ?

[@carlomerazaudiovisuales]

Do you need the wireless transmitter?

[@jokohadipurnomo6947]

How about xt3, it's fujifilm camera. Is that weebill can't do "that".

[@alchentw]

Thanks for all the effort, great slider shots and useful information/demo! I got mine working alright. Hope both parties (Sony & ZY) keep pushing fixes to complete the circle, such as 1) Steady Shot turn off under PC control mode; 2)Custom assign the control wheel to lens zoom control or other function. ; 3) ZY play app cannot adjust camera's shutter speed/aperture setting. As point no.3, I notice your ZY app also show "Locked" at shutter speed/aperture setting. Have you heard any information about it?

[@Infosmercial]

Thanks for the kind words and for watcing the video. Yeah steady shot using PC remote is a big one. I hope they can fix that too. So I have found that being able to adjust shutter or aperture depends on the mode that I am in. For instance, If I have my camera in shutter priority, aperture gets locked as it is automatic in the camera. I have noticed occasions where some of the options were "locked" when they probably shouldn't have been. I'll send a message to the Zhiyun team and see what they have to say about it.

[@alchentw]

Infosmercial That’s right, I noticed the issue since I almost always shoot in manual video mode. It’s just seems like the mobile app it’s not ready for aperture and shutter speed change yet.

[@alchentw]

My smart phone holder is coming in the mail, hopefully I can unlock the full potential of the app when I had the accessory in hand.

[@Myddez]

I can't do it with FUJIFILM XT3 :'( I am so sad... this camera work so well with this gimbal but no support for Fuji

[@BalaChandaractor]

Is this the same for crane2 aswell?

[@gadgetphilosophy8290]

Sorry not working in a7iii different setting menu as well. Can you please clarify. It’s very frustrating.

[@dogdudeadventures7028]

How do I use a custom mode instead of movie mode with my a6500 ?

[@fatheadmediapro]

Cannot connect my z6. Any suggestions? I have all the latest firmware and my camera is in m mode. No controls on the weebill lab show up for the camera and I cannot remote view the image. I can control the weebill through my phone remotely, just can’t view the image. Please help!!!!

[@Danielellisondiesel]

I have a Weebil with a Sony A6000 and a iPhone X. I have followed all your instructions and just can’t seem to get the video to the iPhone to match up. iPhone is updated, Weebil has is updated and all the Zhiyun updates are current. I see all the functions on the iPhone as well as the Weebil, I can control all functions from the iPhone but I just can’t see the camera images on the iPhone. I deleted the app and reinstalled but nothing has changed.

[@hawky5609]

How to do it with the canon?! Dont have a cable that fits!

[@massimilianogadioli9386]

Good, I can use this functionality with sony a73 and webill s with cable and without the wireless module?

[@DantroitRadio]

I would also like to know this pls

[@jabbarclarkcruz2096]

Me too

[@FlySquareMedia]

Does anyone know if you can use the follow focus with a handgrip battery extension ...?? i wanna throw an A7iii with a hand grip on a gimbal with the follow focus. I see the follow focus attaches to the plate.. but i cant tell if it will fit with the battery grip.. HELLLPPP...!! TIA..... !!!!!

[@edmtwo]

Does the face detect still work?

[@inferno8428]

Can you track subjects using a selfie mode? Using a cell phone - and do we need to purchase the additional video transmission module?

[@Infosmercial]

Yes for weebill s you would need to purchase the additional module. The reason is that you need your cameras video feed in conjunction with the on to select your object for tracking.

[@soupricemf1260]

Does this work for weebill s? Because there is no wifi connection in it.. even the app interface for weebill s is different to weebill lab😭

[@milanchampaneria8485]

Hi ! Can i do the same with webill S and sony a7r3 ???

[@sundramsharmaa3464]

how can we do this with osmo action insted of a sony camera?

[@TheSkullzman]

[@Melanie-Heinrich-Photographer]

Hi Bret, any news on when Zhyhun will update their software to work with the Fuji film XT3?

[@Infosmercial]

All I know is that they are in fact working on it at the moment. It may be a little bit before they have it ready, but I really don’t know.

[@Ryukachoo]

It's looking like us android users are screwed, the zy play app for Android really doesn't like existing, it'll fail to load firmware and also seems like it can't do image transmission?

Does it work on Weebill S too??

[@umang9565]

Thanks for the tutorial. 👍 Does the image transmission work with pictures profile I mean can you shoot in SLOG2/3? The reason I asking because on Sony A7RII, PlayMemories app does not allow you to shoot in slog/white picture profile turned on. Thanks in advance.

[@Infosmercial]

Sorry for the delay. So I just tested it out and yes you can in fact shoot in the slog profiles while using the wireless monitoring. Hope this helps!

[@umang9565]

Thanks

[@Infosmercial]

You got it!

[@donariessol282]

how about fir canon users? pleas. help

[@phongnguyen-cu9xt]
