Potato Jet rides a skateboard at 8:38 looking at the monitor while holding this entire setup not looking where he's going without any fear ! Bravo, as if I wrecked my elbow like he did, I would be freaking out !
Very cool update on the 3s - I'm glad they are providing more things (like the extender) as a standard - I've struggled with smaller rigs on their other gimbals trying to get clearance. And thanks for offering up the Weebil - that's very generous. I appreciate all you do for the community!
Hi Mr. Potato! I would love to have your older gimbal....i do CGI and VFX and all the shoots need to be smoth, because its ways easyer to track and compose, and bouncy movements always ruin the shots....unfortunatly i dont have the money currently to buy a gimbal and not having one makes my workflow much harder... i would LOVE to have your gimbal! All the Best!
This is the first decently sized electronic gimbal that I’ve actually been excited about because I know I can fit my RED on it without having to worry. Awesome review!
@@zachhixon1819 I would love that :) maybe after quarantine I'll reach out and see if he would want to do anything. I met him at VidSummit last year, he's an awesome guy!
Looks like a great investment on the long run. If you upgrade to a bigger camera, no problem! It can be useful on small and, with the accessories, it seems like it could be useful on bigger production as well 👌🏼
I'm only a very casual when-I-travel-I-MIGHT-take-some-video type of person, and yet I subscribe here and watch all these definitely-not-for-amateurs stuff. All because you make it quite entertaining, mate. Keep it up.
Another great video to look up to during these hard quarantine times! :) Thanks a lot, Mr. Jet, Potato Jet, Mr. Potato, Mr. PJ... Whatever, you get it. Keep up the good work! (Bonjour from France ! ;)
Ever Since I saw Gene's review on the Weebil S I have wanted one. It would be perfect for me, and I think it would open up so many options for me when I am filming.
As a student, I will never be able to afford such a gimbal, I'll try my luck tu win this! 😊 Thank you for your great videos as always and the insane work behind it!
Omg This review was helpful. Been wanting to get a new gimbal for a while, just can’t afford it right now due to the loss of work. But can’t wait to get back on my feet. Zhiyun is definitely the way. Thank you 🙏🏾
Hi from Bristol, UK! In these unstable times, we all need extra stabilisation. Loved the review, great product, would love to play around on the weebill! x
Well it looks awesome! Looks like an ALL-IN-ONE Gimbal for all your cameras! From MFT, FF, LF to the big boy's like the Ursula's & RED's. I love the Zhiyun Weebill S and have been saving for one for a long time so I could really use one 🎁. Cheers 🍻
19 yo filmmaker here, currently directing and DP'ing a feature film passion project out of pocket. I can't afford a gimbal but it would be invaluable once I am able to resume filming after quarantine.
Me: I don't need a gimbal, I can't even leave the house at the moment. Potato Jet: uses leaf blower on gimbal Me: Oh sick it can work in a hurricane. Where's my wallet?
I know im 3 months to late on the prize but I have advise that little red strip inside the battery is supposed to go under one battery then back up so u can pull the batteries out easier without jamming a knife in there or smacking it upside down. It would be cool if u mentioned it in a video because the reason I been binge watching ur channel recently is the wealth of knowledge u put out so I had to drop a piece right back at u bro but much like ur videos this comments well over done peace
aH YES, We recently bought a crane for our girls (filmakers and models). Entry level crane but we love it. this device you have here would definitely improve our videos.
Thanks for the RED test. I was wondering just how much big of a rig it could handle. Don't think I'd go past the 14 though. Just for warranty sake. In other news, the best solution if you're going to go full rig is to borrow the weight attachment from the original steady cam. Not only will it add the forth axis of stability, but its been around for 40 years so we already know it works. When all the weight is on your waist, your arms are free to just control movements and no longer need to strain to support the weight.
If you’re talking about the Steadicam Arm that attaches to the vest you’re gonna need some type of converter to make the pin at the end of the arm work. Also those arms are pretty expensive plus the vest.
@@leer6871 They make them. But only the authentic professional versions are hella expensive. There are much less expensive brands for those independent operators outside of Hollywood productions. These motorized gimbals are fine but they lack the vertical supression that gives sequences that buttery smooth "floating" movements you see in big box office productions
Krane I’m aware, every steadicam operator that I know (including myself) is confident that gimbals can’t replace the natural and fluid feel of a steadicam. But gimbals are extremely good for things like car mounts and jibs where the camera is moving and needs to be controlled remotely. Those mounts also allow for built in dampening to reduce vibration.
Krane Also Hollywood Professional Gimbal Operators wouldn’t be using a Zhiyun Crane 3s. They’d probably be running a Movi Pro or more recently an RS2 on a ReadyRig, a harness with two poles holding straps that supports a ring that the gimbal sits in. The poles flex and so does the elastic in the straps which dampens motions. I’ve seen that type of stabilization side by side with a Steadicam and it’s pretty close. Steadicam has a different character to the movement but a ReadyRig paired with a high level gimbal is certainly fierce competition
It’s a pretty great gimbal. Been fortunate enough to be using this at work. The only gripe was having a few connection issues with the app and live view. Reaaaaally frustrating if that is your only workflow at the time.
Me making DIY gimbal cause am broke. Potato jet: here we are with new camera from planet krypton. And it cost my house, neighbors house, and the gas station.
MissIndigton yeah, I got a sign from God that it was a dumb buy, cause my car started acting up the next day 😂 fix your vehicle or buy a gimbal? Decision, decision. Hahaha
Zhiyun basically made as close to a perfect gimbal as is humanly possible, it seems. I appreciate such technical market disruption. It breeds competition, and that's where we all win! You should do a video of this with an Alexa. The clicks from the thumbnail alone would be worth at least an extra $500 in ad revenue lolz
If I could afford a camera for that gimbal and that gimbal I would use the follow focus all the time, I think it's crazy you only mention it once. Also I'd like that gimbal
Zhiyun: can we send you a review unit 3s PotieJ: yea... what do you want? ZHIYUN: Can you balance your Classic Arri... PotieJ: rather not Zhiyun: you are such a potato 🥔...
I have been following you and watching your videos and I wish I can just meet you a huge you a hug. You are doing amazing work, always making my interest in cameras and photography increasing
Gene, Wow the new gimbal great. I in the weeball gimble as I am using the Sony mirrorless cameras. At then end of the review can see, when I make some money the crane would be beneficial for some of the video work I will do during our Charity Motortrail Event in April 2021. I love both channels, your crew and the puppies. Keep making content, you keeping me sane during our social distancing. Be safe David
Oh god, same. Came back to my Ronin M for the first time in a while, only to find that both batteries jumped off a cliff and I can’t replace them. Very cool.
Potato Jet rides a skateboard at 8:38 looking at the monitor while holding this entire setup not looking where he's going without any fear ! Bravo, as if I wrecked my elbow like he did, I would be freaking out !
Potato Jet: lets do a review!
Me without a camera: interesting

That Gimbal is a beast. Nice to see that there's competition to the DJI stuff at an competitive pricepoint!
Nice Vid as always!
Who needs the gym or VR boxing, if you've got a RED camera and Zhiyun Crane 3!!
Who else thinks Potato Jet deserves a Netflix series? I would be binge-watching all day every day. Waiting times between videos be killing me.
I hope this is enough of a kick for DJI to start developing a new gimbal
Yeah I wonder what their next gen mid range gimbal will be like. The ronin s is starting to show its age
Dji RONIN RS2
And there we are
This comment aged like fine wine

Gene: this sucker can balance anything!
Me: ok but what about my bank account
😂😂
What bank account wish there was a lil mic drop emoji
Any other reviewer: Uses fan to test wind resistance
Potato Jet: LEAF-BLOWER TO TEST HURRICANE RESISTANCE
If its good enough for Hollywood, its good enough for PJ.

Me: Heh, gimbal
Get that Sigma bro.
Same same
Where to find the giveaway winner
@@shubhgehlot6195 what giveaway? Just go make a channel and get them sending you free stuff hahaha.
That is really impressive. From this gimbal, to the ARRI Trinity, I love seeing how these different companies are engineering new line-ups of gimbals.
Great work from Zhiyun. They Nailed and solve every error on their past gimbal with the Crane 3s.
Bravo Zhiyun Bravo
When quarantine is officially over, everybody and their mom is gonna be outside with a new camera and new gimbal 😂
Gene: I’ll be back with a more in depth review. Me: wait... this wasn’t the in depth review???
What a great addition to any kit! The weight capacity is amazing.
I'm so stoked about this gimbal! Great review!!
Hi Mr. Potato!

I know he probably won’t see this but potato please please do a giveaway of any old camera gear you don’t need!
This guy expects mr potato to just give away expensive gear just like that
You could stabilize a small child.

@@herodirt7116 this is a great addition to baby carrier ;)
Zhiyun always do better 👌, but this is a beast ❤️❤️❤️🙌
The CEO probably went “let’s make a tank into a hand held gimbal.”
Oh that Gimbal! Would be perfect for current middlerange projects!!
Another great video, very impressed with the capability of the gimbal!
Keep up the great content 🤙🏼

thanks for always being so informative on everything gear related love watching your content
Everyone: let’s focus on surviving.
Potato: let’s go try this new gimbal
Lol! 😂
Here’s an Idea: Mount a telephoto prime on that 3S! 200, 300 vs 400mm!! And since I don’t have those prime lenses, the weebill s would be coolios!
Can always count on potato to grab the latest gear. Thanks buddy!
Ever Since I saw Gene's review on the Weebil S I have wanted one. It would be perfect for me, and I think it would open up so many options for me when I am filming.
Gene carrying that gimbal like Rambo holding a machine gun 💪

Damn the 1000IQ move
Such a swindle huh

Don't underestimate the power of mechanical gimbals! I still use mine about 50% of my shoots.
Where will you be releasing your movie?
use a skateboard
Really cool video! It's crazy how powerful the crane is!
Loveeeeee this channel! Especially the arri videos... You're funny and very informative!

It would be a great and totally acurate test I guess
