ZHIYUN, the world’s leading gimbal brand for filmmakers with cameras and smartphones, has launched the WEEBILL 3, its portable, high performance gimbal for DSLR cameras. Incorporating a new, updated SLING 2.0 design for improved ergonomics, built-in microphone, fill light and a powerful, inbuilt battery supporting all-day use. The WEEBILL 3 upgrades the filmmaking and photography experience by offering a dynamic, lightweight and easy-to-use professional device, where users can shed the discomfort of cumbersome equipment in order to focus on pure artistic creation.
New SLING 2.0: Better Ergonomics & More Stable Shots
Built from lightweight, ultra-strong materials, the ZHIYUN WEEBILL 3 offers enhanced ergonomics with a new SLING 2.0 design. The SLING 2.0 system incorporates three important ergonomic upgrades: a restructured L-shape handle that’s more stable when self-standing, a new wrist rest, and a repositioned, extendable sling grip, providing over 40% more support to your wrist by shifting the weight onto your arm. The extra support reduces fatigue, allowing for extended use in comfort. By moving the sling grip to the bottom of the gimbal, it provides better stability and shake-prevention when shooting at low-angles.
The grip includes thumb buttons, mini control stick for movement, plus a finger trigger and wheel that can be customized according to preferences of shooting modes and action parameters, such as camera parameters, movement along axes, follow focus etc.
Convenient Built-in Microphone & Light
The WEEBILL 3 includes a built-in Hi-Fi microphone and 1000 lumen fill light for a fast and efficient setup-to-shoot experience. These convenient, high-performance add-in accessories save filmmakers from unwieldy additional wires and the weight of extra accessories.
The microphone provides forward focused cardioid recording, with noise-cancelling functionality, while the bright fill light offers color temperature adjustment to meet the requirements of each scene.
Ecosystem of Accessories
ZHIYUN offers a comprehensive ecosystem of TransMount accessories to extend the WEEBILL 3’s functionality, dramatically increasing on location teamwork efficiency. Combining the WEEBILL 3 with TransMount Image Transmitter and MasterEye Visual Controller VC100 allows directors to monitor the shot via wireless image transmission, and apply parameter adjustment, such as focus and zoom, via remote control. Other accessories include ZHIYUN’s Follow Focus/Zoom units and its ZY Play App.
Outstanding Battery Life & PD Fast Charging Support
Compared to the previous version, the WEEBILL 3 upgrades the large 7,800mAh internal battery, which now provides up to 21-hours use for all-day filming support. With support for PD fast charging (0-100% in 2 hours) and pass-through charging of attached cameras (5V/1A), the WEEBILL 3 offers outstanding endurance with minimal downtime.
Next-gen Quick Release system
ZHIYUN’s latest quick release system includes a dual quick-release plate with embedded magnetic wrench. The camera requires balancing just once, then it can be repeatedly mounted and secured easily, fast and conveniently without needing to rebalance, saving time.
