The Zhiyun Weebill 3 Combo is a comprehensive handheld gimbal stabilizer designed to meet the demanding needs of professional videographers and content creators. Building on the success of previous Weebill models, the Weebill 3 Combo comes with advanced stabilization technology, integrated accessories, and a user-centric design for improved efficiency during production. It offers a powerful and ergonomic solution for stabilizing DSLR and mirrorless cameras, enabling the capture of smooth, cinematic footage in a variety of scenarios.

Key Features:

1. Upgraded Stabilization Technology:

• The Weebill 3 features 6th-generation stabilization technology, which ensures ultra-smooth performance, even with heavier camera setups. The powerful motor delivers improved torque and responsiveness, ensuring stability while moving, running, or capturing dynamic shots.
• It supports a wide range of camera and lens combinations, including heavier setups like the Sony A7SIII with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens or Canon EOS R5 with similar lenses.

2. Built-in Microphone and LED Light:

• A key feature of the Weebill 3 is its integrated microphone and adjustable LED fill light. These built-in accessories enhance the convenience for solo content creators, eliminating the need for additional external equipment.
• The LED light has an adjustable brightness level and a color temperature of 2600K-5400K, making it suitable for various lighting conditions. The built-in mic helps in capturing decent-quality audio for quick vlogs or interviews when high-end external mics are not available.

3. Ergonomic Sling Design:

• The sling grip of the Weebill series has been refined further with the Weebill 3, allowing for comfortable and intuitive low-angle shots. This ergonomic design reduces fatigue during long shoots, making it easier to switch between different shooting angles.
• A newly designed wrist rest and extendable sling grip improve the handling experience, especially for low-to-ground or complex angle shots.

4. Superior Battery Life with Quick Charging:

• The Weebill 3 is equipped with an internal battery that provides up to 21 hours of continuous use on a single charge. This extended battery life is a significant improvement, allowing users to shoot for an entire day without needing to recharge.
• It supports quick charging via USB-C, with a charging time of just 2 hours, making it highly convenient for fast-paced production environments.

5. Advanced Control Features:

• The Weebill 3 introduces enhanced control via the ViaTouch 2.0 system, allowing for precise adjustments to camera settings such as ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and more directly from the gimbal's interface. This eliminates the need to touch the camera, providing a smoother shooting experience.
• The gimbal also features a customizable trigger button and control wheel for personalized settings, making it adaptable to different shooting styles.

6. Quick Release System with Dual-Plate Compatibility:

• The Weebill 3 continues the tradition of using a dual quick-release system, compatible with both Arca-Swiss and Manfrotto standards. This makes it quick and easy to mount or dismount the camera, reducing setup time, especially in fast-moving shoots.
• Auto-tuning technology automatically adjusts the gimbal's strength based on the camera’s weight and balance, simplifying the balancing process and ensuring optimal performance.

7. Multiple Shooting Modes for Creative Flexibility:

• The Weebill 3 offers a range of shooting modes for creative versatility:
  • Pan Follow (PF): The camera pans as you turn the gimbal left or right.
  • Lock Mode (L): The camera stays in its current orientation.
  • Full Follow (F): Both pan and tilt movements follow the gimbal's motion.
  • Point of View (POV): All three axes follow the movement of the gimbal for immersive shots.
  • Vortex Mode: Enables 360-degree barrel rolls for dynamic visual effects.
  • Go Mode: High-speed mode for action shots, perfect for fast-paced filming.

8. Wireless Image Transmission and Control (Optional):

• The Weebill 3 Combo can be paired with the TransMount wireless image transmission system (optional), allowing for live 1080p video transmission to mobile devices or monitors with minimal latency. This is ideal for professional setups where real-time monitoring and remote control are crucial.
• It also allows for focus and zoom control using compatible focus motors, giving operators full control over their shots from a distance.

9. Compact and Travel-Friendly:

• Despite its powerful features, the Weebill 3 maintains the compact and travel-friendly form of the Weebill series. It is designed for easy packing and transport, making it ideal for creators on the move, whether you're filming on location, traveling, or working in crowded environments.
