Two new gimbals from ZHIYUN, the WEEBILL 3S and CRANE-M3S, will be on show in Vegas, while the US gets its first look at the MOLUS lighting range.
Busy show coming up for ZHIYUN. The WEEBILL 3S is an updated version of the popular WEEBILL 3, which features the ultra-ergonomic SLING 2.0 grip, convenient built-in microphone and light, plus ZHIYUN’s latest quick-release mechanism. Details are scarce at the moment, but the Sling 2.0 was impressive first time out: A restructured L-shape handle, combined with an ergonomic wrist rest and a repositioned extendable sling grip. The L-shape body that moves the weight center downwards plus the sling grip enhance the active lever by 600%, improving the stability when you pan or shoot at a low angle.
Meanwhile, the CRANE-M3S is also an update of the CRANE-M3, billed as a highly portable yet professional gimbal, with strong torque motors and wide compatibility across smartphones, action cameras, compact cameras, and even options for full-frame mirrorless. M3 comes with compact structure, angled rear motors and optimized axis arms, providing a gimbal that is about the size of a small bottle of water with sufficient room to carry different kinds of cameras for stable and smooth movements.
More details on the new units as we get them, but their release is already slated for May.
Exhibited for the first time in the United States, meanwhile, the new ZHIYUN MOLUS range includes the portable G60 and X100 COB lighting units, offering a reliable and consistent 60W and 100W professional power output respectively.
As small as a Rubik’s Cube and a very portable 300g, the MOLUS G60 provides intuitive controls, an excellent CCT, CRI ≥96 and TLCI ≥97. For added convenience, the G60 can be charged using a DC power adapter or via a USB-PD fast charging.
At just 385g, meanwhile the MOLUS X100 rivals much heavier cinematic lights with a 3881 lux output while still maintaining the simplest and most efficient setup. The MOLUS X100 offers excellent CCT, a CRI≥95, and TLCI≥97. On the go content creators can minimize downtime with three ways to power up the light, choosing between the grip battery, DC adapter and 100W USB-PD fast charging.
