The first reason to use a gimbal is just for smoother shots obviously and this gimbal will gave us smoother footage than anything else and is something we can use as a storytelling element to help further the feeling of our video. It's also just something that helps to elevate that professional feeling in our video if we're doing freelance work or just want our videos to feel a bit more professional.

Using a gimbal also allows we to get more dynamic shots than we could by just shooting handheld or using a tripod or something of that nature because it allows we to walk around or even run around with the camera as opposed to being limited to just as far as our arms can stretch for a smooth motion I found this to be most apparent in the Weeble webs POV mode where all the axes are unlocked and the gimbal basically just follows all of our emotions and smooths them out that POV mode is super useful for achieving those dynamic fluid camera motions but we also of course have the option to lock off those individual axes for a more specific motion in addition to enhancing our footage shooting with the gimbal also gives us a lot more flexibility because it can mimic and take the place of other gear like a slider or dollies.

Zhiyun also makes a monopod accessory which allows the gimbal to mimic crane or even a drone shot if we do it the right way and it's not just about flexibility when we're shooting either using a gimbal also gives us a good bit more flexibility in editing to go for techniques like a hyperlapse a speed ramp or even track things into our footage so gimbal's are an incredibly useful filmmaking tool but I think we shouldn't ignore the fact that there are a lot of extra weight to carry around when we're filming and

take a lot of extra time to balance and operate for this reason I've always found them somewhat inconvenient to use but this gimbal has definitely changed my mind about that

the weebill lab is more lightweight than other gimbals I've used and has a nice ergonomic handle for carrying it around and the bottom handle actually acts as a few tripod feet that fold out if we need to set it down on the ground to just take a rest or even balance it with this gimbal we also have the option to lock off the individual axes this makes it way more easy to balance the gimbal and also makes it a bit safer and easier to store it in our camera bag on that note I am actually able to fit this gimbal in my camera bag alongside the rest of my gear which is dope and when it comes time to break it down and store it away these quick-release accessories make it a lot faster and easier. Those same quick-release accessories can also make it very fast and easy to switch between different modes, like the monopod. 

We can use to attach our phone to the gimbal and use it to monitor and control our camera. There's also a full width focus available for the weebo labs we can attach this and if we're using a longer focal length and want to have that blurry background we can use this to focus the lens without having to reach forward and mess up the balance of the gimbal it's very evident that the weebill lab is designed with convenience and practicality in mind and for that reason and it really fits that workflow.

Zhiyun Crane 3 LAB

  Weebill LAB

If you are deciding to buy a Zhiyun gimbal, you may feel hard to make a decision of buying a Crane 3 LAB or Weebill LAB. But don't worry, in this article, Scott will share his thoughts on the comparison between these 2 Zhiyun gimbals. Scott spent the past two months using these two POM's to really put them to the test so he can see the differences between them. If you plan on traveling a lot, you'd better go with Weebill LAB. It's much more compact and travel-friendly or maybe you have a full production staff before a big crew if so go with the Crane 3 LAB, this is much more professional for your needs and if you're probably going to be using cinema cameras the Crane 3 is more suitable for you. 

Let's compare a set of parameters:

The Zhiyun Crane 3 LAB has its own fix handle and with this handle, you're able to control more settings，such as your ISO shutter speed aperture you can do all that with this handle and behind the handle, you have what's called a zoom rocker so the Zhiyun Crane 3 includes a focus motor, a zoom motor, you are able to control the focus and zoom at the same time. These two gimbals both great gimbals and they're both going to get you great shots. If you're having a hard time getting a smooth shot with either of these gimbals you should focus more on the setting. The default factory settings on these demos maybe not suitable for your shotting. You can download the ZY playoff by Zhiyun adjust the settings to your preference, you will have a much better experience in more smooth shots.

Choosing the Zhiyun Crane 3 LAB or Weebill LAB? What is your decision?

1. Alow angle shot.You can do a lot of these different moves but from a low angle try to change your angles when you're working with a gimbal so when you get down low and point up you have that super dramatic low shot and the beauty of the crane 3 lab is you have this handle on top that allow you to get these super low shots very easily. It's easy to maneuver from your different positions because the way that the handle set up on this gimbal so with the low shot, you could basically recreate any of the moves that we've talked about but just bring the camera super low and point up at your subject. is a reveal so

2. You're gonna want to use the follow modeand what we're gonna do is go from thesky and pan down into your subject and follow them so whether the person is stationary or moving you can use this follow mode start looking at the sky and then slowly tilt down on the gimbal to reveal your subject in the frame, just make sure that you feather in on both sides so you have no jolting motion the whole idea behind a gimbal is smooth dreamy like footage so you're going to want to feather as much as possible.

3. Another sort of revealbut you're basically going to bestarting on someone's feet and then moving up to their heads so it's a kind of person reveal or an object reveal where you start on one aspect of it and move up to another you're gonna want to make sure that if you're using any longer lens you just lock that focus in and then make the move from bottom to top and what you're gonna do is just move your hands from down low to up high to be able to get this kind of a shot.

4. Afun one and this is a jib shot so jibsare big pieces of equipment that allows a camera to get these sweeping shots from way high to way low, with a gimbal you can attach a monopod and then you can get a much higher sweeping motion so a couple notes when you're working with a jib leg shot I suggest using a wider lens because you'll be able to see more of the motion in the actual frame and then also you're gonna want to put it on the tilt lock mode so either start high and come down onto your subject or start down low and then sweep up high to reveal the bigger scene that going on.

5. APOV whip and basically what happens is the camera follows you super fast so it's the follow mode but it has a quick reaction time when you're actually using this mode so the purpose of this is basically you can have your gimbal getting smooth footage whatever motion that you want but then when you want to do a transition to another scene or another shot you can whip and when you put these together and you add a little motion blur on the top of this it creates a seamless transition from one scene to the next. 

If you are interested in gimbal, welcome to www.zhiyun-tech.com .

1. The pushin and push out. To do this you need to put it in the lock mode and you're gonna want to use a 16 millimeter 224 millimeter lens, you need to use a wider lens for this shot and to do this shot you're going to walk forward or walk back so set your subject where you want them to start and plan out where you're going to have them end and basically that's going to create a dramatic move pushing in and pulling out from the Subject.

2. Adolly left and right. This the same principle as the push in push out walk from your left to your right or your right to your left and these first two moves mimic moves that you can do unlike a slider or a dolly and you want to be very smooth with these motions so that you get that really cinematic look.

3. Awide spin or an orbit to do this move. You need to have it in the tilt lock mode and you're gonna want to use a wider lens so a 16 to a 24. The key is keeping your distance from the sub and walking in a circle around the subject.

4. Another version of this spin howevergonna be using a much longer lens sothis is the parallax spin you're gonna want to have it in the tilt lock mode and then you're gonna be using a longer lens so think 35 to 50 millimeter lens. You're gonna want to lock in your focus on the subject. Keeping your distance from the subject and walk in a circle around the subject. What's different between this and the wider version of this is that you're creating parallax and parallax is when the background is moving faster than the foreground so you get this really kind of cool look out of your footage and this is something that you'll see in a lot of Hollywood cinema. 

5. You'regonna follow a subject so something has to be in motion so you can use a longer lens for this or you could use a wider lens but you're gonna want to keep it in the tilt lock mode rather than the full lock mode for this mode and the idea is that you're following a subject now a subject can move in different directions. You can either follow in front of them or behind them but the idea is you want to keep the same distance from then throughout the entire shot and you're following them.
