Great stuff. Thank you for always going so in-depth for your videos, it makes this the best channel to get ALL the info. Keep it up! 👍
Awww thank you so much!
Just the review I needed! Thanks
Glad you like it!
Una vez más, gracias!, gracias por que el contenido de tus videos en este canal es fantástico, y de corazón gracias por poner la opción de subtitulos off-line en ESPAÑOL
Nadie se había preocupado tanto por mi, eres el mejor Hugh Hou y deseo que tu canal lo vean mas personas de mi comunidad
Love the review on the latest 2 gimbals by Zhiyun that is suitable for travel usage! Nice tip and showcase at the end too that helps to promote the functions with even with post production guides! Simple and well equipped gimbal for full frame camera that is also suitable for new gimbal users.
Been able to travel more lately and would definitely be a bonus to the video creation. Been taking long walking shots and the stabilization from the gimbal would definitely help in all the nature/scenery shots. Would be also amazing for taking some b rolls! Also love the additional attachments that are able to be add on to the gimbal, everyone do love a overprepared setup instead of panicking when you wish you had add on additional rigs when shooting! It is an all in one bundle for single person set up which is often the case when you go exploring and shooting on your own.
Also commenting for 360 panorama feature soon! Would be a great feature for future updates/gimbals! More video options is definitely a plus point to keep in one's arsenal.
Thank you for the great feedback and I am glad you see our effort to go as in-depth as possible. There are lots of marketing hype in both DJI or Zhiyun - our goal is to detail each use case to see the practical usage for creator to make the best cost saving decision :)
Amazing review .. thanks man
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for another amazing video that helps everyone gain knowledge in shooting VR content. I just got an R5C and Dual fisheye lens setup and have been hesitant to get the Ronin RS3 Pro because of the base plate. I think it could work if you chopped the baseplate maybe. But I love all the features you listed in this review and really great having the added fill and the wrist support. I want to start shooting some VR videos on a boat and I know that doesn’t work on a tripod so I would love to test it out with one of the WeeBill 3S gimbals! It’s really nice of you to be giving one away! It would be cool to share the footage of whatever the person you choose to give it to shoots :). Thanks again Hugh!
Thank you! On a boat btw, not sure a gimbal can get rid of the movement. I think it is okay to move with the boat b/c your anchor point is moving - the boat. RS3 you will need my setup mentioned here - with a rail system and offset the weight with a mount at the end. You can see my DJI setup on R5C here as well.
@@hughhou sorry, I forgot to say SailBoat. Which has major angles at certain times. I’ve done it on a boat in calm water moving slowly and it’s fine, but sailing I want to try and keep it level to the horizon.
@@hughhou I like that setup with the RS3 that you have, but wouldn’t want to add more if I was able to just modify the base plate and make it just used for the R5c with dual fisheye
Thanks so much you’ve gone way and above every other TH-cam filmmaker who also use these gimbals and they need to take a leap out of your channel 😊
You’re in a class of your own I’ve finally found a professional filmmaker I can relate to, as this is what I try to do whenever I buy a gimbal or tripod lol 😊
Subscribed mate from Cairns Australia maybe you’ve been or plan to visit ❤
Awww thank you so much! Love to visit Australia somedays!
GREAT CONTENT THANK YOU 🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the video, Hugh Hou! In the current movie business, we are seeing a lot of sequels and big budget movies with known characters for years, so they don't "flop". I feel Hollywood is becoming afraid of taking chances and imo original ideas are "dying". I believe with all the equipment that independent creators have have nowadays its our time to take a chance and jump! I am going to direct/make a feature film all by myself (talking about the behind the scenes) from production through the end product. I wanna show independent creators that it is possible and that if they have a great idea they should go ahead and make it happen! Don't wait hoping that one day it will happen and make it happen. This gimbal would definitely make my scenes look way more professional than them being handheld and it will also save a lot of time during the actual filming of the movie. There are plenty of incredible ideas out there that are not being made because people are "afraid" or "unsure" about them. But this is the time to give them a little push and to show that anyone can be a filmmaker and that their ideas are worth and meant something. Have an incredible day!
Wow very good reason. I hope you continue going and make that film into reality!
@@hughhou Thanks for the response and for the words as well. It is definitely gonna happen. I have been working on the script for some days now, and it's an incredible process, since the "limitations" of the location force me to bring my creative side to its limits. Have an amazing day!
I just wish I could afford this type of equipment. I have so many dreams, just dying to come to fruition. Hugh, is a genius!!! Love his vids
Awww thank you! What camera you use so far for VR?
Hey Hugh! Would it be possible to do stereoscopic 360 x 180 panoramas using the canon VR Fisheye? Thanks for all the great content, as always.
No not yet. Still figure that part out with Canon - but no luck so far.
@@hughhou Yep, complex, I imagine as there would be two optical centers so parrallax is the main issue likely. Hopefully one day as it would be cool to have that extra image control using the R5 sensor. For now 360 stereo cameras...
canon needs to start throwing money at you , you are the only creator putting out content for their dual fisheye lens
Haha I wish! Yes, as a VR180 creator, Canon is the best setup. I simply just love to shoot with it and keep building support for making the shooting experience better for everyone else :)
Do you think I can mount the Sony a7c (508g) + sigma 24-70 f2.8 dg art (853g) on the M3S? I didn’t found the combination on their site.
And maybe a rode videomic NTG on top.
Thank you :)
Oh yes! I can mount a FX9 on it so A7C no problem!
Do you think that the Crane-M 3S would support a Panasonic S5ii With the panasonic S 20-60 3.5 lens?
No that is too heavy :(
I'm working hard to create the best VR 180 videos possible but I'm hesitant to use any movement because my wife gets motion sick. l would love to experiment with this gimbal and creating videos with very subtle motion, to see if I can create better, more interesting, videos that don't cause motion sickness.
I will highly recommend anyone NOT to move camera at all. But if you have to move - like Virtual Tour here, keep it in ALL LOCK mode, use both hand sling mode and move super slow and ninjas walk it. It has to be ONLY forward and backward movement no side to side. But yes, always use gimbal or even steady camera rig!
Hugh, have you tried the new TECHE 3D180VR camera with any of these gimbals? I was thinking of either getting a Crane M3S or a Moza Aircross S gimbal to use with that camera, have you ever tried the Moza gimbal?
Wait, Teche 3D 180VR is not released yet. Do you have one already?! I used MOZA AirCross 3 the latest one I believe. It’s way heavier than Crane M3S. Not sure the other version.
@@hughhou Yes, got the camera yesterday, now I'm trying to figure out the best portable vlog travel kit for it, thanks for the video! Would love you hear your impressions of the TECHE camera as well!
I teach photography and filming to kids and teens in a non-profit organization and it would be great if we had a Gimbel to show the kids what you can do and they could try it out for themselves and it would also make them better content creators :-) The best new features I found the connecting via Bluetooth so that you do not have the many cables and the "one (wo)man set" with the light.
Oh wow! Thank you for what you do!!
@@hughhou not for that, you do the same here and teach us :-)
I really want them to go back to the form factor of the original weebil s. The placement of the briefcase handle on weebil s is the best.
Same form factor and size, a little more power and its perfect 😩
Mmmm.... I actually do not have the original Weebill S. But you are not the only person say that.
You showed in a video a year ago the Nodal Ninja C2 Mecha and wanted to make a tutorial or in depth review about it - unfortunately I have not found the video on you chanel, did you publish it under a different title?
No I have not publish my Mecha C2 tutorial yet, but I should make one soon.
@@hughhou Thank you :-) i am looking forward to it
I like to film rabbits while I’m also jumping at night. That’s why I need a way to stabilize my footage and also grab a light. This gimbal is perfect for that!
Lol! So rabbits does not sleep at night?
The reason I would like to use this gimbal is on the first Friday of every month. We have a group EV and one wheel ride and it would be amazing to be able to document it using my full frame sony A7iv and getting low shots while riding without worrying about the payload.
Oh wow! This is a great reason! Love my Onewheel - wish I have time that I can join the group someday. Riding with group must be so much fun. Very inspiring!
Do you know if the Weebill 3s is comparable with the Sony A7iii? I went to the website and it does’t show this camera on there. I also tried the Weebill 3 and that one either did the A7iiii showed up. Please help
It will def support the Sony A7iii as it support way heavier camera. Does the Sony A7iii has bluetooth feature? If it does it will support remote trigger. If not, that is mostly the camera issue. I believe it does tho. It support all SONY alpha series.
Thank you for this review 🙏🏻 its really very healpful ❤
I just enter to the world of videography !! So im learning i just bought the sony zv e10 its a light canera with the kit lens its not stabilized camera so i descovered that i need a gymbal also i need to upgrade my lens to sty have more apeture !! I have just 300 euro in the bank 😅 so i dont know what i priorities lens or gymbal !! I just moved to barcalona barcelona this year and im jobless so i think making video for real state agencies it can be a good start as a freelancer but as a beginner im a little bit lost
Thank you for all the information you give
Peace ✌️
Lens is more important. But without a gimbal you just can't move your camera much.
@@hughhou thank you very much 🙏🏻
我用的是智云m2s，搭配VR全景相机不错
谢谢！你是用什么的vr相机？佳能的太重了吧？
what's the weight load capacity on the m3s?
You can reference the M3S camera mounting list:zhiyun-website-shenzhen.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/instruction/20230510/1683689338371-KY8RBwis.pdf
I'm a filmmaker but the only gear I am missing is a stabilizer. If I got it, I could land more jobs and be more confident in my creative process!
Very good reason!
These gimbals are great I only have one for a smartphone and I always wanted one (to WIN) for my DSLR So I followed you on all social media. I need this gimbal because I can't afford one, with engergy and economic crisis, so my videos turn out bad I have to use the stabilizer funciton in post edit, sucks - so I turn to my Xiaomi Smartphones for video but it is not full frame, I want to do bigger end things, music videos etc, but I have to rent equipment to do it. It will make me a better Videographer because I will have stabilization, and I can do a lot more with a gimbal, different shots, put a mono pod on it to make it go through windows, objects, or act as a drone, there are limitless possibilities if only I can convince to give me one, and if you also gave me a new EOS R8 with lenses that would make me rise to the level and finally be able to do projects that I can make money with.
How can I put a monitor?
There is 1/4 mount point on the side handle, under sling bar. I usually mount it there to get our of the way of the gimbal movement - also close to moe so I can see better.
I always love your wonderful video and VR information.
Unfortunately, the reason why Weebill 3s is not suitable is true. VR gimbals are true.
I have a question for Weebill 3s. Can I use the RF24-70 F2.8L lens for the R5c? In Weebill 3, the eye cup was caught.
The eye cup will still be caught. But it can def use the RF24-70 L Lens with the lens support and the raiser, which come with the gimbal.
@@hughhou Thank you for the good information :)
I don't have a compelling reason to say I just want that awesome piece of tech and my weebill S is dying. this should've been a raffle lol
I wonder how well it will perform 360's with an iPhone…
It actually can not cover full 360 in current firmware with just an iPhone. Insta360 Flow still the best for iPhone 360 photo. This is more for full frame dslr with one of those fisheye lens the pros use. Shorter lens is better - I think the 7Artisans with APS-C camera will be even better as no parallax issue - camera balanced in no-parallax point.
How's everything, Hugh! Hope you're doing great. Did you ever gave away your extra Weebill 3S? In case you didn't maybe we can get to an agreement and I can purchase it from you for a cheaper price (than buying it new), since I would love to use it for an upcoming movie. Thank you!
We still running the give away. But I rather give it out free tho. Thank you for the offering! I am in several VR production ATM and have not had enough time to go tho all comments yet.
@@hughhou Thank you so much for the reply! I appreciate it. And sounds awesome. I'll be checking then. Wish you all the success with your VR Productions!
The reason I'd like to win the gimbal, because they don't update the compatibility list often, and this way I can find out risk free, if my camera works with it ;) Jokes aside, I plan to upgrade camera, and my trusty Feiyutech G6Max won't be enough, bigger payload, better connectivity needed. And it's much better to chase my son with a gimbal ;) Okay, it's better for my planned other kind of videos, too.
Lol! Under sling is great for chasing your kids!
Glad to see our MOMAN POWER99Pro battery with your new gimbal setup!Always best review👍👍
Thank you!!
Hello Hugh... greetings from Colombia... I was reviewing your video again because of the capabilities of the SHARGEEK 100 (former Storm 2 Power Bank)... I want to ask you about how would you rate SHARGEEK 100 vs Vmount battery prsented in this video... Since I received my R5C and dual fisheye nearly 4 months ago, I have been shooting based on my 2 original Canon LP-E6NH batteries with mo more than 25 five minutes per battery and some colleges borrowed sometimes 5 more for shootings on set...
I am really affraid to use external power on the R5C because a collegue (also from Colombia) burns her R5C (and died) using an Anton Bauer V-Mount battery a few months ago. I have been browsing some info and watching some reviews related to external power solutions but in a couple of cases I have noticed some WARNINGS in some Smalrig V-mount batteries when using with Canon R5C.... look at the NOTE (in the last bullet of the description): www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6Z9K42P?tag=parkerwalbe01-20&geniuslink=true&language=en_US
After this months, I am tired of the power consumption and I need to get an external power solution but feeling safe about no warning and no risk for my R5C because currrently is my main camera and VR 180 Shooting is the most important line of my services.
Please tell me after a few months since you upload this video where you present this option for external power using the SHARGEEK 100... if you are still using as external power delivery or if you have experienced any unespected issue.
Altough this SHAREGEEK is not the most comfortable option for camera rig, I think is the most interesting option for enough power for SOLO PRODUCTION been able to give power for some light source and camera at the same time (as you present in the video) and in special for the possibility to enhance the ecosystem with the "Power Bank Solar Panel"...
As usual, thanks a lot for your help and valuable info.
So I use the SHARGEEK to power everything in a pinch. And charge all my Insta360 camera. It works great. But I do use V-mount battery mostly for R5C. I don't think there is any Anton Bauer has USB-C PD power delivery in 60W. I use this one listed in this video: th-cam.com/video/5YFRfhjXwiA/w-d-xo.html - just because V-mount batter is easier to mount on tripod, gimbal and provide correct reading. And 99Wh can last all day. And I have lots of those lol. So I think they both works, just make sure whatever you use has approved USB-C power delivery.
Let me share my heart-wrenching tale 😢::sob:: 😢::sob:: of my DJI gimbal repair woes and why I'm the perfect candidate for your Zhiyun Weebil 3S giveaway aka "Darth Vader Gimbal". You see in a galaxy far far away (just somewhere in Malaysia), my poor DJI RSC2 has been stuck in a never-ending 'gimbal' limbo for the past six months, probably having a never-ending vacation in the repair shop.
Meanwhile, I've been honing my skills in 'gimbal-less' filmmaking, with my camera constantly shaking like it's doing a never-ending Zumba workout! I've tried everything to fill the void, from strapping a potato to a selfie stick to balance my camera, to enlisting the help of a trained circus monkey to stabilize my shots (spoiler alert: it didn't end well).
Firstly, let's talk about the ergonomic wrist rest, or as what Hugh Boy calls… the "Gimbal Butt 🍑 " My DJI gimbal never had such a luxurious feature. Finally, a gimbal that understands the importance of giving my wrist the tender loving care it deserves. I can't wait to experience the sheer bliss of resting my wrist on this delightful cushion, as if my gimbal and I were enjoying a spa day together. Ah, the sweet relief!
Now, let's address the elephant in the room - heavy camera setups. As I see the Zhiyun Weebil 3S can bear the weight of my “behemoth camera setup” with ease . So, not only will I finally have a working gimbal, but I'll also be able to use it with the same bulky camera rig that I've come to know and love. It's a match made in gimbal heaven!
Hugh Boy, do hope that I have the chance to be the lucky winner for this giveaway. "Together, we shall rule the galaxy
Do you know any vr180 camer coming this year and how much
Yes, lots of VR180 camera coming and reviews are coming!
