From professional content capture to social media, the entire video production industry is centered around video, says Leo Wang, vice president, Zhiyun. With the 5G network just around the corner, this trend will only increase, in turn, making the stability of videos absolutely crucial. Whereas previously, stabilisers were seen as a tool for professional filmmakers, in the future they are going to become a universal consumer electronics product that everyone can use. Zhiyun's mission is to provide stabilisers for all-level users and redefine the way people record life.

Weebill is a new series of light weight stabilisers addressing the high demand for use of mirrorless cameras. Weebill Lab is the first product of this new lineup. Crane 3 Lab, which not only builds on the legacy of Crane 2 with trademark motor strength, excellent precision control and high-efficiency performance, but also integrates with a new design concept and delivers even more powerful functionality. Further details will be announced at IBC.
