LOL people out here complaining about the micro shakes with the test footages definitely have not used a gimbal before. The vertical movement is something that NO gimbal today can stabilize. Atleast Jeven was honest about not introducing additional stabilization in post and showed you how stable the footage you'll get under normal conditions. Other youtubers out there who show you buttery smooth shots with this same/similar gimbal is either just standing in place,or learned the ninja walk,or in a moving platform like a skateboard,or most likely added warp stabilization in post. Guys,please be realistic with your expectations about gimbals;Sure,gimbals will give you smooth shots way better than handheld but still won't come close to what a slider, or a dolly would ever deliver. For now,anyway.
After getting my hands on this to shoot with Jeven for this video, and doing a TON more research on what would work well with my Canon EOS R and lens setup (I prefer a fairly heavy 24-70 f/2.8 for my wide stuff), I pulled the trigger and bought my own. I'm quite happy with it so far and love how portable it is and easy to balance for a gimbal newbie like myself.
Hey man, I'm new to these and looking for a gimbal. I know that this is smaller than say ronin, but the app is not as good. How is it without using the app?
Cons29 I think you’ll get a smal amount of jitter with any small handheld gimbal in this class. But the more you shoot with it, the better accustomed you get to using it to provide great smooth footage.
Love my S so far! Another cool thing I’ve discovered is that handle is super useful. I’ve started using it as a straight up alternate handle for my camera that I screw into the bottom directly for either hand held shots where I don’t care as much about stability or to get stationary shots super low to the ground that I no longer need a gorilla pod or tripod to be able to do. Stick a phone mount on top of it and now you can do all of the above with your phone and that handle too!
Some videos I've watched of this gimbal it looks incredible, on others it looks jittery. This one was jittery! I've seen it working great with GH5 Sigma 18-35!
The footage looks jittery. I think the motors are having trouble keeping up with the size and/or weight of that 10-25. Either that or it's not been balanced properly.
Jeven, I've built an entire studio watching you this year. My first bummer was watching this. I bought the Weebill and the quick connect. Like my usual geek, I bought 2 quick connects, maybe to use on my Crane V2. Duh, it takes 2 quick connect male ends and 1 female end to set up the handle like you did. You might want to mention details like that when you have them. It would be helpful.
Hi, Very cool video. Weebill S still leaves much to be desired when it comes to stability. All this time the image is rocking and swaying. Still, he really lacks much for proper stabilization. So, in terms of stability, little has changed as you can see. It is a pity because the construction is interesting. However, it seems to me that it will not be accepted. I have friends who have Zhiyun Weebill (first version) and when they compare the quality of shots with Ronin S or Ronin SC they drop their jaws for surprise that it can be done at all. Compared to Ronin SC, Weebill appears to be damaged. This is not a good stabilization ... I have watched some movies (except sponsored from Zhiyun) and it is still the same problem as you can see. It's a bit better but it's still poor stabilization.
Thanks for the information Jeven! I have a Sony A6400 and want to run and gun with my Sigma 16mm. I am buying this via your link. Appreciate all of the info!
I'm not very impressed by the footage. When I compare it to my ronin m. I guess it is quite difficult to get stable footage the smaller those Gimbals become. Although it is bigger I would go for the ronin s when it comes to single hand Gimbals. Thanks a lot for this video. You're doing a great job.
Nice review. Thanks for some usefull insights. Important for me was the info about the setup with the GH5. I am using a A2k and it doesn't fit my GH5 very well. Also, I like the possible carrying modes with two hands in different layers/levels on the gimbal - think this offers more smooth handling. One open question please: how is the latency in the transmission of the gimbal app? Thanks, and keep creating.
Great video. With the single transmitter and gimbal can you get live video viewing and camera control (LANC and PTR) all on same phone screen? It looked separated in the video. Thanks.
Would this travel well inside a camera bag? I would not be able to carry both the case and my camera bag onto flights, so I would need to be able to pack it with my other gear. Thanks for the great video!
I think if you're just starting out you should shoot handheld or with a tripod first. When you feel like you're starting to become limited then you can upgrade :)
Hi had the original weebill lasted for three weeks then the locking axis stooped working returned it for the ronin .The ronin build quality is a league above the cheap plastic weebil with bad software.
Jeven, between weebill S and Lab 3, which one would you choose in terms of performance not considering the size of it? The huge difference seems to be the wireless which allows to remotely control the camera itself? Does it control follow focus when your shooting with manual focus? That’s makes a lot of questions hehe. Cheers and thanks for the content :))
Great video. Definitely sold me on the whole package. I needed something to help get smoother more cinematic shots. Definitely when filming action sports. How does the gimbal work while on a jog or having to run ? Any experience with that?
5:08 the af was just unreliable. It's the reason why I sold my gh5. But I bought the gh5s' instead which has better af and combined with this gimbal, it's perfect
can anyone help me this problem i got... i just got the zhiyun weebil S and i'm using it with XT3 and 35mm F.14 and i got some shaky footage. please tell how to slove this problem thanks you so much
To get a feeling "at all" for using Gimbal and Filming etc. you could just get a far cheaper Phone Gimbal and check out if you like it at all. DJI Osmo 3 Mobile is very solid. (but not the cheap end)....Vimble Feiyutech is very cheap sometimes (under 50 bucks used probably) but lacks the superior App-Functions that DJI has.
@@CowboyJojosAdventures For example we got the Feiyutech Vimble (cheapest Phone Gimbal here)...for around 50€uro in Stores and cheapest Camera Gimbal was around at least 200€ then. (Last year)
Hi Jeven - great video as always. If you had to choose a gimbal that is say ONE step better than the Weebill S, what would you suggest?. I suppose I'm looking for an answer that compares price vs stability ... thanks as always :)
Hey how do you use your phone as an external monitor? I just got the Weebill S and a Sonya7sii. I don't have the image transmission module but I can't find it for sale anywhere. Is there anyway to use my phone as a monitor right now? Also I just uploaded my first travel video about brazil if anyone wants to check it out and give feedback!!
Thank u very much boss I was looking for a video like this to get all functions all r making short video that how it’s working I have one question remaining boss the FN button what is the use of that go mode
Hey man. Did you figure this question out yet? I am hoping to buy 1 good unit that will balance a smart phone and a small mirrorless camera under $ 2500aud Do a gimbal like this weebil exist for both. There is little info on this solution. So i am thinking it might not. Please reach out if you know a better gimbal to ho with.?
@@CellarPlusEquip I didn't get a reply on this, in the end I bought a separate one just for phone, a Moza Mini S. Havent got the camera gimbal yet as what I was going to do has changed now.
could I mount an iPhone onto this? I have an iPhone XS Max + Moment lenses and it's just too big and too much weight for all smartphone gimbals. I have a Fujifilm XT3 also so would use it for both.. Thanks!
Nice gimbal. Hope to have one but as a refugee can't have it coz of financial problems. Nice and knowledgeable videos. I'm going to subscribe to your channel now. Love photography but do not have stuffs to photoshoot.
Thanks for this. I'm still on the fence between getting this, Ronin S and the Feiyutech AK2000. What do y'all think? I want to use them mostly for filmmaking and music videos; but, I have a light setup(GH5 w/prime lenses). Thanks again.
Check out more info about the Weebill S: geni.us/weebillS
Jeven great video. Where can you find those mounts to easily switch the handle without unscrewing it??
Hi. Where can I find the Quick release for the hand grip? Thank youfor the video.
@@JamieHines @Diskomehl have you guys found them yet? ;-) just google or search on amazon for: Zhiyun Quick Setup Kit with 1/4" Screw

@@JeffStrawBranding have you experienced any, what's the term, jittery?
Cons29 I think you’ll get a smal amount of jitter with any small handheld gimbal in this class. But the more you shoot with it, the better accustomed you get to using it to provide great smooth footage.
Jeff Straw Branding I guess you’re right, as long as it’s not an annoying jitter

Where is it jittery. I don’t see the same video than you.
As someone who owns this gimbal, I can confirm it'll deliver shaky footage.
Is it me, or most of the footage is shaky?
No ..its a post edit feature.
OMG. That quick release is more impressive than that gimbal to me. I am going to get several of them (if they are strong, quick, and reliable).
The footage looks jittery. I think the motors are having trouble keeping up with the size and/or weight of that 10-25. Either that or it's not been balanced properly.

Someday my friends...someday. Right now my budget says lens before Gimbal. 🐼👍🏽
Ha exactly what I did my guy
I'm in search of gimbal and you just convinced me to order this one.

So far my test with the Weebill-S and the Panasonic Lumix S1 with the 24- 105mm f4 are going well.
Great review! I loved how you show how you use the gimbal along with the final shot. That helps a lot amateurs like me. Keep the great work!
My Weebill S will be here today! Can't wait.
This is sick right now I have the crane plus but was thinking of getting something lighter ! Thanks for this video bro !
Thanks for the information Jeven! I have a Sony A6400 and want to run and gun with my Sigma 16mm. I am buying this via your link. Appreciate all of the info!
LOVE THE EXTRA EFFORT put into the full chicken head gimbal shot when showing the underslung mode. Love ya work brother! thank you.
Great video. And I LOVE this gimbal. So awesome to use. Thanks for sharing.
Nice effect at 4:35 like the Beats Advertisement.
the giant quick releases are awesome, thanks for pointing those out.
Thanks man - that was a super informative review. I'll pick one up now!
Nice plan to get one
Lets talk about the "jai-yoon" WEEBIL S
Very well explained
Just ordered mine. I also have the Crane 2...but this is so much smaller.
I'm not very impressed by the footage. When I compare it to my ronin m. I guess it is quite difficult to get stable footage the smaller those Gimbals become. Although it is bigger I would go for the ronin s when it comes to single hand Gimbals. Thanks a lot for this video. You're doing a great job.

@Jeven Dovey great video!
I don’t what to get, the Weebill S or the Ronin Sc. Great review, after seeing this video I’m leaning towards Weebill.
Each have their good features but I do like the Weebill S. It works well and I like the back handle
Great video. With the single transmitter and gimbal can you get live video viewing and camera control (LANC and PTR) all on same phone screen? It looked separated in the video. Thanks.
Awesome video
I bought the weebill lab like a month before this thing got released regretting it now 😑
probably the best review and usage for a gimbal I've ever seen. Great job man!
Excellent presentation ... as ALWAYS ... .
Thank you. Keep it up with the good videos. I really appreciate it.
Where did you get those giant quick releases from? Can you put the link here?
Awesome tutorial...Thank You for explaining how this baby works and how I can do all sorts of neat stuff with it.
What watch is Jeff wearing? Looks cool!
Rudy van Os Thanks! It’s from the Lucky Brand jeans store.
Hello thanks for the explanations! Can you make a video explaining the function of your Tracking with the Panasonic Lumix S5,please?!
Will it work with 18-35 ?
I need a gimble so bad, I think ti would help my TH-cam channel and the video quality a lot.
Link to the Quick Releases that you use?
Yeah I probably think that’s an awesome gimbal ... but I think the gimbal made by dji is also very good 😇
They are both pretty good in this range...! Only for Smartphones I See DJI ahead (much better App)
Another great review Jeven!
Would this travel well inside a camera bag? I would not be able to carry both the case and my camera bag onto flights, so I would need to be able to pack it with my other gear. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks Jeven, learning a lot. I am a beginner, do I need to get one of these?
I think if you're just starting out you should shoot handheld or with a tripod first. When you feel like you're starting to become limited then you can upgrade :)
@@exactleepro Thanks
Nice review! I have a specific question, for the same price do you think I should get two tripods or one with two quick release plates?
Very well together. Thanks. I have a 7iii. What is the max lens weight I can go with.
awesome footage shot
Man, that Footage is Jerky!
not everyone can afford an $800 gimbal
I think he's setup is very heavy. First time I see footage from this gimbal jittering.
It is because no in-camera stabilisation is applied
hye...can i know the wireless video transmitter model please ?

Is there a way to lock all the buttons? It seems to me I could really easily press something while holding that small handle.

Off
Definitely dying to get this now, gotta use the weebill lab for now...,😣

Looking to invest in a second hand one ..Will this still be ok fin 2023 for a newbie?
Will this hold a Panasonic FZ2500?
Why is the guy with the santa beard taking tons of photos but not actually reviewing any of them? 😂😂
Do I have to get the 1080P wireless transmitter separately??

you recomend Zhiyun Weebill S or DJI Ronin SC
Both are good. Depends on what style grip you want.
