You have great videos!!! Just got my Weebill delivered. I am very excited to have this gimbal for travel videos. I also just bought an Fujifilm XT 3. So big question and I'm asking you since you seem to be connected. Will the company be expanding its camera connections to the Fujifilm line? Without a connection to my camera it appears as though only the basic functions will work with the XT3. I have to manually turn my camera on to start recording etc. Thanks for any insight!!
I don't have this combination so dunno. But why want such a tele lens as make no sense for gimbal as zoom will ofset balance a lot an not useable. You need use more wide angle lens and not tele lens.
Thanks Chung. I have not been so lucky with the Weebill. When I try to mount the servo to the right side of Panasonic 12-35, the support bracket on the quick release plate lines up with the servo mount. Essentially, you cannot tighten the thumbscrews as they interfere with each other. If you mount the servo on the left side, you cannot balance the gimbal.
Question for you if you don't mind, since this follow Focus doesn't attached to the gimbal but to the camera plate can it be used while the camera is not on the gimbal? For example could you have the camera on a slider or something else and turned the gimbal on to be able to use the follow Focus knob but shut off the motors so the gimbal wouldn't have a problem being on with no camera on it. Do you see what I mean? That would be very interesting if it was possible. If you have the follow Focus maybe you could try thanks for your reply
@@chungdha Yes. I'm getting one then. Oh, one more thing, what's the best compatible to update the latest firmware (ver 1.85 ?), so far I've been trying on Samsung S4, S7 Edge, Samsung Note 9, Iphone 7, no luck at all. Thank you
Ik wil SLR magic microcine primes gaan gebruiken in combinatie met een servo follow focus. Moet ik hierbij iedere keer de servo follow focus opzij schuiven? Of kan ik zonder iets te ontkoppelen de lenzen verwisselen? De lenzen zijn even groot en zwaar.
I'd love to see the video with a Panasonic 12-35 on a GH5 or with a Rokinon 12mm lens .... totally impossible to mount due to the mounting point of the rod.
@@paulconway1176 as in the video have pointed out can mount on outside to move the motor more inwards easily and camera can be moved more forward on the plate.
chungdha chungdha thanks it was a very good video the best out there on balancing with a Follow Focus, but my issue is the place it mounts to the front of the quick plate is also the exact right spot for mounting the motor to be in line to the Panasonic 12-35 and the Rokinon 14mm Cine lens focus ring? So mounting on either side doesn’t work and even if it did the gimbal would be unbalanced unless I weighted the gimbal to counter the uneven weight produced by the motor?
Hey Chungda we are all waiting for test footage, that is shot in 24p realtime and not slow motion. Most reviewers only put slow motion footage online. This does not show how the gimbal actually performs.
this is mainly teaching users how to setup as not many guides yet. Full review is coming but I am busy filmmaker and not had free time yet to go outside to film.
@@chungdha yes sure, but we all would appreciate it very much! I am waiting for your review or a review from Brandon Li. Since you both are my favourite filmmaking channels.
My focus motor doesn't move on the weebill lab. EVerything is set up right but when I turn the unit on, the motor is locked. It does move freely when the unit if off. The light is blinking slowly yellow and does blink quickly when first powering up (firmware upgrade?) HELP!
Yes, usb c to usb c, plugged into focus port. My gimbal version is 1.82. No I havent upgraded firmware yet, what is the latest? 1.84? I have an android phone, can't figure out how to update on Zhiyun Play App, but I'll try and search for it
@@chungdha also, what color should the light be flashing and what speed if the focus motor is working properly? I tried searching for videos about the follow focus system but there are hardly any videos about it right now

what an excellent video.. Learned how to balance fast and attach the follow focus motor.... great job.... Thank you
Super helpful video. This got me set-up from my servo focus motor quickly. Thank you!

Very easy to understand. Thank you!
Hi, do you think this weebill lab will work well for Sony A7iii with Sony 24-105f4 and follow focus?
I don't have this combination so dunno. But why want such a tele lens as make no sense for gimbal as zoom will ofset balance a lot an not useable. You need use more wide angle lens and not tele lens.
Have u try using the servo motor on the crane 2 on the weebill lab? And vice versa will it work?
crane 2 servo does not have the plate mount as it mounted on the gimbal itself so no use in trying to mount that one.
Tooooooop💔💟💕💖💓💞💝💜💛💘💚
Thanks for the video. Have you tried to attach on the zoom ring ? It's impossible for me to Balance if the servo attach on the zoom ring.
Yes but only select few lenses that does not extend when zooming as will offset balance too much with the ones that extends.
can you attach both a zoom and a focus servo like the crane 3? or just 1 servo?
Is it possible to attache the follow focus on the weebill lab or do i need the new one?

Follow focus from crane 2 will be work with weebil s???Thanks
Nope are not same size rods and not meant for it
Can you try to balance it with tamron 28-75 with follow focus? Thanks 😊
For obvious reasons I don't own all lenses
When can we expect this new follow focus to arrive in the market? I don't see it for sale anywhere for the Weebill.
whcih model is it ? Cmf-04 or cmf-3 ?

not in the qay you want, just attach gimbal to the slider as its a low profile anyways.
So does the follow focus have to be connected ZY Play or can it be controlled straight on the gimbal ? Thank you.
Control straight from gimbal
@@chungdha Yes. I'm getting one then. Oh, one more thing, what's the best compatible to update the latest firmware (ver 1.85 ?), so far I've been trying on Samsung S4, S7 Edge, Samsung Note 9, Iphone 7, no luck at all. Thank you
@@DeddyJingga iPhone should be easiest to update with no issue, make sure go to reconnect wifi to gimbal after firmware download.
@@chungdha currently my gimbal in on ver 1.81. do I need to update to the latest firmware 1.85 in order to use the follow focus servo ? Thank you
can this be attach to crane 1?
Nopes

Servo opzij schuiven net als op een rig anders kan je lens lastig verwijderen.
Is the motor powered from the gimbal or it has its own battery which needs to be charged every now and then?
Not sure on the new version older one needed recharge.
@@chungdha I wasn't aware there were two versions. Could you send me a link to the latest model, please?
I'd love to see the video with a Panasonic 12-35 on a GH5 or with a Rokinon 12mm lens .... totally impossible to mount due to the mounting point of the rod.
12-35mm is quite small, I already mounted with much large 18-35mm f1.8 sigma and works.
@@chungdha Yes my point it works with long lens but not short ... the design of the tilta nano plate is a lot better.
@@paulconway1176 as in the video have pointed out can mount on outside to move the motor more inwards easily and camera can be moved more forward on the plate.

Is this the same focus servo as the Crane 2?
Is a different servo module.

HI..Zhiyun Weebill works with the BMPCC4k?
With counterweights it works.
@@chungdha Thanks...Is it better buy a Crane 3?
@@hlopes10 dependa on use and need if use large cine lenses and also sigma 18-35mm the crane3 be better
@@chungdha has anybody addressed if the live view in the app is laggy?
@@YoungBlaze think depedable which phone used or camera. But the lag isnt bad from what I have seen the lag is usable, much better than gopro lags.

hello, my follow focus is not working on my weebill lab. the orange light is flashing on the motor, but the motor and focus wheel is not working. help
is it the correct one, it needs to connect with usb type C cable.
Also have you upgraded your gimbal yet?
