Shooting Modes
Plenty of shooting options cover every concept. As such, we have six different shooting modes to cover below.
1) Pan Follow (PF) Mode: The gimbal pans right/left following our movement, while the tilt and roll axis are locked.
2) Lock Mode: Every axis is locked, and the camera points in a designated direction.
These two modes have a selection switch below the Fn button on the left of the vertical handle. Up has the stabilizer enter PF (Pan Following) Mode. Down has the stabilizer enter L (Locking) Mode.
3) Following Mode: Press and hold the trigger button to enter Following Mode, and let go of the trigger button to switch back to the previous mode. The gimbal's pan and tilt axis follow all our movements since both are unlocked.
4) GoMode: Press and hold the Fn button to enter Go Mode, and let go to switch back to the previous mode. GoMode increases motor responsiveness, which has each mode reacts to our movements faster.
5) Point of View (POV): Single press the POV button to enter POV Mode.
6) V (Vortex) Mode: For shooting from a 45° angle from both sides of the gimbal, double press the POV button to enter V Mode. By pressing the button again once, you return to the previous mode. The roll axis moves 360° degrees. By using the joystick, we take control of the camera's Vortex movement. Press and hold the POV Mode button to enter or exit standby mode.
The information above and in the table below also appears on the OLED screen of the gimbal, and the last four can be adjusted with the embedded dial.

We may also adjust the motors, choose the mounted camera, motor speed, and axis smoothness and deadband (degrees the gimbal will not move—only when you rotate more degrees will it follow your movement on that axis).
You may switch to the default settings, adjust the wheel's sensitivity and the gimbal's AB point, set the priority for the handle or an external smart device, reverse the control wheel and joystick functions, proceed to a calibration, adjust the pitch and roll angle, set a key for the Fn button and trigger, and learn more about the gimbal model, Bluetooth name, and Firmware version.
The Weebill-S has many capabilities, and the
Zhiyun app introduces even more.
