Important correction: to update firmware on the Receiver, the USB cable must NOT be connected. A Receiver without updated firmware connects to the Transmitter over Wifi, but will only show (in my case) a white screen with the Zhiyun logo. With the cable connection, the wifi sync does happen, so it's a mandatory first step, but in order for the app to show the Receiver update, the cable must be removed, and only the wifi connection must be active. Otherwise, fantastic video - helped me A LOT - but this small detail ruined me the best part of the day. Of course, I should have read the received manual better first. Cheers.

You got my sub because I got more useful information from this video than every other Weebill S review. 25mins watched it all.

Awesomeness.. I was caught between purchasing the Weebill S or the Moza Aircross 2. My concern is payload, functionality, and travel friendly. I was leaning more toward the Moza because of the wireless option offered. However after viewing your detailed video I had know idea the scalability gimbal has. Excellent options to expand film my film and photography needs. Thanks for taking time to create and share this ... I'm looking forward to seeing more. You've saved me time and money!

Such a review ! I've seen a few (well, thousands... truly) and not even 15% are that sharp, concise, accurate, helpful, meaningful, etc. Great work, well done... folks at Zhiyun should offer you a round-the-World trip for your service and user-friendly attitude. And take exemple as well. Some other folks from other brands too (nobody's going to be surprise when reading this and some should agree with me). Customer services sometimes have such poor global quality of (non-)service, it makes you want to sit down and tell them : "OK, take back the device... I'm having some time on my own to shed those tears. Then I'll be calling my mom." lol

Possibly the best scripted and best-presented video - on any topic - I have ever seen on KZread. Excellent job, thank you.

Boy, this is proving hard work to set up. I found that to get a picture on the monitor - once the transmitter/receiver are talking - you have to double tap the power button on the receiver to get the picture up or you just see the whie zhiyun screen. I've had no luck so far with the remote handle operating anything at all. I'm using the 3S by the way with the zoom/focus motors and the BMPCC 6k. I wish there were more troubleshooting videos for those for whom it doesn't seem to work straight out of the box!!!!

@@garrettsammons Hey what's up Garrett, thanks for the great videos and tutorials, all around! A quick question on this setup for you --> Are you familiar if the wireless image transmission system would still work smoothly if the camera already has an external monitor directly mounted to the Weebill S, by chance? I currently have the Weebill S with a Ninja monitor connected to it. This is for recording along with a visual view while filming. Any idea if this would still work if I add the Image Transmission System with the remote attached to a second monitor? The goal would be to film with with a camera and monitor on the weebill s and then have a friend also viewing or adjusting the focus or angle from a transmission system and remote setup. Or possibly having the just the transmitter mounted to the camera and then use a cell phone to have a friend viewing the footage as its being recorded? Thanks for the insight!

Thanks a lot Garret. Your tip for using micro usb over micro B port saved my day. No ! Saved my week. I was trying to setup 5d Mark 3 and 50mm lens on weebil s and it was nearly impossible to find mini usb to micro B connector. Before watching your video i was setting up with some OTG setup and finally when it comes to balance the setup for the last axis, the micro B big end was hitting on the gimbal. So i was thinking that these guys who made these gimbal probably never thought about these issue with image transmission module. Then I found your video.

Congrats on a great video! Very well done. I have one question: If I wanted to grab a signal from the system and feed it into a multi-cam device like a Blackmagic ATEM Pro Iso, where would I make that connection? I'd like to keep the ability to use movement control, but I think the ATEM would want to hog the signal.

You can! There’s a standard amount of latency for HDMI and WiFi, but it isn’t enough to be critical. That said, super fast motion and things would lag a bit.

Thanks a lot for the video. Way more understandable and well made than the offical Zhiyun videos! I juts got one question though - why is the receiver and the handle not available anymore and will it come back? I mean its nice to see the features but currently you cant buy those parts to complete your gimbal setup :/

Thanks for the video! Can you connect more than one cellphone at the time? I mean, I can operate with one and the director can watch with another?

Great video, very thorough. Do you know if I had the receive module and had it run the HDMI into a capture device (on a PC) I could get a clean HDMI (no camera info/HUD on screen) signal? Thinking this could be an awesome way to have a roaming/wireless cam for online streams for cheap (current solutions quite pricey). Haven’t been able to find an answer anywhere.

You don’t need to bypass the gimbal connection and launch from the transmitter app... I always follow these steps and works just fine for me every time: 1) Power on the Weebill-S 2) Power on the Image Transmission Module (default is 2.4G or last setting - quick press power button 3 times after powered on for 5G wifi) 3) Power on the camera 4) Launch ZY Play App, connect to gimbal - once connected it will automatically bring up the connect to Image Transmission Module That’s it!! You have camera control and video feed. 5G Wifi mode seems a little more stable and less lag.

Right! I'm on the program now. Got the motion sensor remote. Just need to figure a way to keep the remote and receiver charged all day. Is there any way to keep the remote charging via powerbank while in use? It looks like the only way to charge it is the same port that needs to be used to connect it to the receiver. Perhaps a split cable could be used to connect the remote to the receiver and also to a powerbank? Amazing video by the way. Has helped me get this thing working exactly as intended. There are just so many things to keep charged on a full day shoot. If you have any tips for this i'd love to hear them.

Which camera do you suggest I use? Also will I need to get the Zhiyun Transmount Wireless Image Transmission Transmitter? Any suggestions or advice would would be amazingly appreciated.

This is great. Can you adjust focus from the app? Or you will need the remote for that?

Awesome and helpful video! But I have a problem, can you please help? My camera display goes black when the image transmission module is connected and the camera is set to manual photo. My camera is a Sony a7iii. I'm shooting photos in a studio on a tripod and using the transmission module as a standalone without the gimbal.

You are using the exact video monitor i was planing on getting. If i where to use a cage for the monitor would the Video transmittor be able to screw in. Witch cage would accept the transmittor with out having to use your mounting method
