I got so much anxiety from all that banging around.
Weebill s footage was significantly smoother thanks for the review
Sharma true
Ive have both and the Ronin s have a lots of micro shaking. Cant use in for professional work.
@@PopTubeJoe so which one is the best?
I think i'll go with the weebill s.. so handy and for sure it works great when balancing with my camera.
You guys need to recheck the footage at 4:48 the pan on the weebil S is very robotic
Considering I’m broke, I’ll stick with my hands.
Droidbait same brother. Women can be expensive
hahaha!!!
And strap
LMAO
Droidbait 😂
You're supposed to be able to push the zhiyun into any position, that's why it doesnt bounce back. It's actually feature of the zhiyun!
2:20 it's actually a feature, you can set the orientation with your hand and then it stays at that orientation
I have used both gimbals for a while now. There’s one big feature that you failed to mention about the weebill s that is a giant plus for the gimbal. You can adjust the motors, smoothness, and responsiveness on the gimbal itself. While the ronin s only allows you to do that on the app, the weebill s allows you to do that on the gimbal. It even does an auto tune for all the motors. Still a great review, but it seems like a lot of problems you had with the weebill s could of been fixed by just fixing the motor speeds and responsiveness on the gimbal.
how i ma having issue with canon 6D
hey Mike, thanks for honest review, webell s gimbal i was looking for long, bz of his handling and ground shots, but can u plz answer my two question ? is it easy to mount camera in and out without consuming time and will it take weight of cameras like sony a7siii with 85mm lens weight.
@@sandeshshetty-Artist honestly, I sold that gimbal off a year ago. There are sooooooo many better gimbals on the market that are better than the ronin s and the weebill s. the weebill s does not have a great payload and cant handle very heavy set ups. I would recommend going more the crane 2s, the weebill 2, or the ronin rsc 2. all will be better gimbals that will future proof you way way way way more.
Do they work with phones? Or are these only for cameras?
@@Eddie89 Personally dont buy either of these in 2023. There is sooooo many better gimbals now a days
Dude, your videos are so crispy. Down to the point, no fluff. Thank you! 🙏 🙌🏼
That’s why I love my Ronin-SC, it’s small, I can lock the axis, the App is great and it balances my GH5/12-60f2.8-4.0 without any problem.
Had the exact same setup, then i started upgrading my lenses and the sc could not hold anymore so it forced me to upgrade to a s
@@user-dh5fp4gw1b You gotta have some HUGE lenses for it not being able to hold it... It has 2kg payload and the gh5 weights in at like 700g, there isn´t even a MFT lens with 1.3kg... Maybe you added much accessories, but even then, all standard MFT lenses would fit. Even the Gh5 with the SIgma 18-35 would fit there
Agree with the verdict. I got the weebill S because I wanted the power with portability option. Not as refined as the Ronin S, but a lot more lite and I love underslung mode. Great video!
It sure is much more versatile and the underslung mode is just awesome!
Glad you liked it, made it in like 12 hours haha!
Weebil S has position holding on force that's why it doesnt resist u.
Didn't know that, thanks!
that is what i was going to say, i use that feature often! To quickly compose the shot.
@@PeterLindgren1 actually both of them got that function tho
Very good feature, for moving the camera tilt straight up/down and then doing a slow reveal with the follow button or joystick. Otherwise the quickest way to get it to point up or down is to press the GO button and tilt it up, but that's annoying.
Extremely helpful video. Not only straight to the point, but very easy to follow along with the great editing to match. Thank you so much!
I have been looking for this video for a long time. THANKS
The way he handles everything in such a clumsy fashion is very irritating
Who is the biggest in this industry? Casey Neistat... look how he handles things :D haha
He graduated from the casey neistat school of content creation. From the music choice, to even using the paper to introduce new topics. Casey all the way
Man that's exactly why I subscribed. If these things can't handle that, it's a no buy for me
rather he do it than I do it
Agree haha. It's the way of those who have money enough not to worry if one of those things break and need to be replaced 😅🎬
I love your videos man! You always have the content I'm looking for. Like this one for example I was trying to decide between the Zhiyun and DJI. Thanks for all that you do!
Great video Peter. I got the Weebill S. Love it. Have an amazing week, Andreas 🇸🇪
Two factors which goes in Weebill's favor, which can be added to the fantastic comparison above is : 1. battery life/ charging etc 2. And the small LED panel in the gimbal.. Both gimbals have their pros and cons but you can live with them.. The DJi wins due to its software and Zhiyun due to its underslung mode - choose whichever you require more..
Excelent video, direct on the point. You got a new sub!
Hi Peter,
Am a recent sub and like what you’re doing.
I have the Ronin S and recently added the Weebill S and agree with everything you said in the video.
I’ll only add the following:
- Ronin S hands down has the build quality and app which helps with the smoothness of the filming and being able to be a one person crew. Glad they gave the same motion features added on SC. The con to this is the weight but I rigged it up so I can put a strap and handle for underslung and can shoot all day with no pain. I use it for paid work and mostly on heavy setup with my S1H and tele lenses. For keeping the axis locked, just get some velcro straps and that you can strap on and off quickly.
- Weebill S is great for lightweight setup and also handle some weight (much better than the Weebill lab which I use for smaller setups and even for gopros/360 cams where you want smooth panning with horizons leveled).
Get the transmission system (TX + RX + remote) and it will unlock this gimbal. Seeing your shooting style, you can do some great creative shots away from the gimbal and controlling it. For example, you can mount the gimbal onto your car/truck and use the remote to control the shots or do timelapses inside car/truck without being outside freezing in winters.
Also have you looked at the JibOne which allows a lot of creative possibilities.
The comparison that I was looking for
.
thanks
Great comparison! I've been looking for a gimbal so this was really helpful👍
Finally someone did this comparison. Thanks!!
You didn't compare batteries. Ronnin S has a proprietary battery and the Weebill S has 18650 batteries that you can swap out. You also didn't compare screens which the Weebill S has one and the Ronnin S is a paid add on. Weight is a big win for the Weebill S as it weighs a lot less than the Ronnin S. You didn't compare any of the accessories that are available for either gimbal. I think you made this video to give the win to your favorite gimbal, which is fine, we all have our preferences.
The screen is totally not something that you need considering the great app the Ronin has I think!
Accessories is something you can buy for either gimbal and has nothing to do with the gimbal it self right :).
Battery wise, both gimbals are great but the many times I've used the Ronin I've never ran out of juice even after a full day of shooting. The Weebill S however does not last as long!
@@PeterLindgren1 as many times as I've used a gimbal i rarely connect it to the app. A lot of run and gun shooting is done with out the app and the screen makes it very helpful for changing settings on the fly. Having back up batteries is important when traveling. Both gimbals do offer accessories but not the same ones like the transmission module for the Weebill S (which I own) is amazing and I don't believe DJI offers anything like that at all.
Weebill s looks much smoother...
We had the Ronin S, and exchanged it now for the Weebil S. The Ronin S is built well but footage was jittery and wobbly. Took it to DJI, they couldn't fix. Weebil S is smoother more compact and easy to live with.
Did you still use weebil s? Or face any problem?
@@nightfury2286 Actually 3 years later, still have the Weebil S. I did however buy the RS3 Pro as well and am pleasantly pleased with the newer Ronin, but that Weebil S is a tough one to beat. I dont use the locks on the Weebil alot as I was afraid of them breaking from what heard but, everything else is rock solid. Very stable and still a smooth good performing gimbal
@@pasqm3 thnx a lot bro.
@@pasqm3 is worth to buy In 2023? or any other option?
your final verdict made my decision. Thanks brotha!
I've had had the Ronin S since it was released, and the only issues I've had with it in the beginning, turned out to be user errors! But it's cool that nowadays there's so many great gimbal options!
Same here, it's been a true workhorse!
It's great to have these kind of tools for sure, they're both great gimbals.
@@PeterLindgren1 True! And like you said, it depends on your needs which one is the better option! :)
Did anyone else get anxious 😦 with the sport mode tests or just me watching that. Thanks for the comparison as I’m torn between the two
Great review. Love your intros
I currently have this exact decision to make so You don't understand how much I thank you for this video
unfortunatelly I bought an ronin SC and is vibrates like crazy so I'm looking for something else, I was looking into the weebil S but thanks to your video I'm sold on the Ronin S. Also a factor for me is the longer grip of the ronin S and it's heftier, I prefer things that are heavier for video work as it makes things smoother. Ever since I've found your channel you have inspired me to be better and strive for more, I always thought that gear is that thing that sets us apart and I was wrong, everything you do with that a73 is absolutely mind blowing,! Thank you!
At last the comparison i was looking for!! Thank you Peter for making my choice of ronin s much easier!!!!!
Just got the weebill s for music videos just used it the first time the other day highly recommend it
The Virus is causing me huge lack of income atm... Still spending time on reviews and think about to buy a new Gimbal.
Hallo Peter, as an owner of the Ronin SC I can tell that dji has made an huge improvement to the Ronin S by decreasing the size an giving it the ability to lock the arms. The only benefit the weebill has kept, is the underslung mode which is easily upgradable to the ronin s and s.
Wanted to see these 2 compare btw each other!!! Thanks Peter!!! hope to see more comparison by you! Like Sony A6400 vs Canon M6 ii.
Awesome video! I’m going to end up getting one of these after I get paid for some freelance work then I’ll have a full kit👍🏼
Here for the support 👊 , hahaha the part when you trowing the gimbals ( sport mode) 😂🤪
SO helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for a great, useful review. Since I travel internationally size and weight matter. My camera is the APSC Sony A6600 with the APSC lenses and I wanted the smallest gimbal for this camera. I considered the Crane M2 and it was too small. I think the Weebill S is the best option now for carry-on/backpack use. Again, thanks so much for your helpful review!
Cool review, nice vlog - good work Man :)
I don’t know about the ronin being easier to balance . Used both and being able to lock and individually balance axis waaaay easier
Legit man thanks, super helpful!
great video! i think I'm going to go with he ronin for what ill be using it for and and starting up my business
Hi, thanks for the video. Great cinematography, and a nice fast editing pace! You also have a clear speaking voice-great overall production values! The Ronin S is well liked by many videographers, but so is the Weebill S. Yikes, though-what is up with how rough you are with these incredibly complex and delicate gimbals!!! I used to have a girlfriend who was rough with all of her electronics and I would wince when I would see her slamming them around. You definitely take risks with these abrupt and jarring movements in damaging electronic equipment. By the way, I don't have either gimbal, but the Weebill S is approximately $200 less than the Ronan S's $550 price tag on Amazon, not $100 less (it is selling for around $330) if you buy it new on Ebay. Again, thanks for an interesting video!
Great review mate👍🏻Hope soon you will compare also Ronin SC with some of the gimbals 😉Hi from Stockholm🇸🇪
Thanks for the review Peter, good insights.
One question, would the DJI Ronin be able to function with a microphone on the camera?
I went with the weebill S for the big price gap (its regularly 329 on ebay for a new one for some reason) and since I shoot a lot of jiu jitsu so im in underslung mode for at least half the time. DJI is the king of app integration but luckily I can auto tune and fine calibrate directly on the Weebill S so I don't need to mess with the app at all. I feel like the Ronin S is the better choice still for professional work but the Weebill S is still very capable of that as well.
The weebill s has an autotune function ? is that what you said was missing?
The running SC is what i have and it’s working great for me
please do a compare video on "dji RONIN SC vs/ Zhiyun Weebil S"
Great info man! Ordered the ronin through the link.
im using weebill s...i kinda like the size..thanks bro
Thanks Peter very helpful this video.
Okay 2 things wrong with this video. You have position hold on for the weebill s also there’s an auto calibration on the weebill s without having to use the app.
Hey Peter, I bought this Week my Ronin SC (arrived yesterday :D) any tips for usage and practice while "quarantine"?? Greetings from germany.
This is the guy that lists his item on eBay and describes it as “gently used, mint, don’t low ball me”
Amazing difference videos about Gimble✌️
I like the Ronin S / SC than the zhiyun products when it comes to robustness but gimbals nowadays are so capable of those shots needing a gimbal. Same with cameras.. there's no more bad cameras it all comes to preference.
I’m starting to get the hang of this. ✌️
I absolutely enjoy watching your content, every day you're providing something new to the community. Are you from Scotland?
He' s swedish AFAIK
great! i just get weebill s...i came from ronin sc and i have a question...
if i shoot at pov or go mode and i want instantly to lock on a subject for some seconds and then pov again, how i do that?
i mean , at the ronin i was just pushing the trigger and locks, here trigger is to follow...
how i do that??
Nice comparison! You can auto calibrate weebil S from the gimbal menu itself. In-fact, you can adjust probably all gimbal settings from the gimbal menu. I don't even use the app at all for weebil S.
thanks! I didn't know that. I'm usually using the app for everything!
@anyone Does the DJI Ronin S still have wibble wobble arms? or can it lock now? I thought I saw a vid saying it does now lock....
The weebill footage seemed way smoother than the Ronin, but I like how responsive the ronin is.
Responsiveness/ sensitivity can always be adjusted in the gimbal settings.
Thank you very much for this comparison, or you brutally mistreat the 2 stabilizers, but for a very thorough test.
I have the ZHIYUN Weebill-S and I love this stabilizer as an experienced amateur videographer.
It is powerful and compact, perfect for stabilizing my SETUP without flinching.
Do you think Weebill-S enough for sony a7III w/tamron 28-75mm lens?
@@farukeminkaba6166 Hi, I have not tested this kit, but there is no reason that it cannot stabilize an A7III with a TAMRON 28-75mm f / 2.8 whose weight and size in place remain very correct.
I have already seen tests where they test A7III with 70-200mm f / 2.8 focal lengths on it without worry, except that the balancing requires that the box exceeds the rear motor, compared to the length and the weight of it. such a goal, but it manages without worry.
So I would say that you have little risk to take a ZHIYUN Weebill-S for your mentioned Camera and Lens kit.
The best, being to test before, if this is possible to validate the purchase before ... as I did, thanks to a person who offered to come and test my Bridge on his Weebill-S and validate that The Stabilizer would manage my Bridge perfectly, despite its large weight offset on the front, once turned on.
Great video !!! Can u suggest a quick release plate for ronin s ???
And this video which quick release plate you used ???
Ever tried the ronin sc? The smaller more comparable version of the s?
This was a great comparison... So when I actually have money I will sit and think of what will I be using it for... until then looks like its just me and my body doing all the stabilizing
Gimbals are almost like camera bodies these days. They're all incredible, preference pays a huge role. I swap between 3 different brands based on what I'm doing, but am usually using the moza aircross 2
Totally agree on this statement!
I can see what you doing. At the start of ur clip, i feel that u try to make a vid like casey neistat. Nice touch btw! 😍
Hi Peter, great video ! I have a 502 Manfrotto video tripod. When I quick release my camera from the weebill S, that smaller plate is too thin for my Manfrotto tripod. Could you tell me what is the name of the thinner quick release plate from the weebill S? So that I can buy the correct adapter to leave at all times on my tripod. or maybe you know the name of the adapter i should buy? Thanks !!!
Would my Sigma 18-35 fit on the Ronin S with my Canon m50?
Thanks Peter. Will the Weebill S stabilization work together with in-body camera stabilization or do you have to turn off one or the other? I don't see how in-camera stabilization and gimbal stabilization can communicate and work together.
Nice review.
Nice comparison! Maybe you can do a comparison between te Weebill S and the Ronin SC instead of the Ronin S? These are more equal in pricing.
5:22 scared the hell out of me LOL whipping the hell out of that Weebill
You can autotune the weebil S directly from the gimbal, as well as ajust all of the settings without your phone, so while agree the dji app is better, seems like the webill s has a better implementation on how to perform those functions since it exists directly on the gimbal.
Good morning Peter!✋ Thanks for the movie for breakfast👍
5:27 shaking it like my mom shaked me when i was a kid not behaving 🤣
Hey Peter. Quick advice. You think the weebil s will be ok with the canon 5d mark 4?
Hey,love your videos more ..♥️🌸
Ahahahahahahahaha!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 That part between 5:12 - 5:36 really tickled me to tears! 😂😂😂😂😂Thank you for this review! 😀
I wouldn't lend this guy my camera
Dennis Feaver because who would film Karen’s yoga class if you did..... you are right not rob the community of that content. ;-)
@@sonicneutronic Hey thanks :)
Maybe you can have a look at the new Zhiyun Crane 3S gimbal they just put out. Would be nice to see how it compares
Lov from Pakistan 🇵🇰, I’m also a youtuber but new , love ur content, u r my teacher
Peter keep growing man
pleaseee can you do a compare of Dji Ronin S Vs Moza Air 2 i dont know wich is better....
2:13 The Weebill S is not made to give resistance when pushed.
It's a feature where you can adjust your framing without using joystick or damaging the motors.
Awesome, didn't know that! The ronin does have way more power in the motors though!
I have weebill S and like the size and stability of footage.. but for feature ronin sc i think is better as i connect to zhplay and the timelapse and other stuff still not working , i dont know what is the exact problem..
I have a Zhiyun 4 gimbal and it came with an app to film but when I try and transfer the clips into my computer and then into Davinci Resolve the video clips will not transfer or copy over. Nothing happens and after some tries it’ll say “media not found.” Any help? Thank you!
If talking about smoothness, which one is better?
Nayss video soon i will buy that Ronin S heheh
Keep it up,Bro.
Can you suggest some backpack which can take DSLR + 2 lenses + Mavic Air 2 and Weeebil S?
Ok so Weebill s unless you film F1racing and need to move your gimble like a crazy person or you have a huge padded bag where your stuff doesn't move all over. How durable would that be for someone who travels with there gimbal a lot? I'd be worried it would get damaged in transit moving around like that and for the money I feel like locks should be included more importantly over app features.
Have both and you can't beat the Weebil for traveling. So much more convenient
Hi mate could you please tell about the bag backpack you use it
Just returned a Ronin SC for the Weebill S. Crazy Microjitters which are also very clearly visible in the Ronin S footage here. Very very surprised that you would consider the Ronin for professional work with that horrific jitter.
I'm getting strong Casey Neistat vibes.
Great review - that clinches it for me for the DJI Ronin-S. Thanks, Peter!
Mine (Weebill S) did not come with the quick release handle ?
