Great video ❤️ just had a question. My setup is a z6 with an ftz adapter. Will it be able to hold a large lens like a 27-70 f2.8? Will it handle the load while using the vortex mode?
Wow that's an comprehensive video. Unfortunately I didn't check much on weebill s before buying it. Have an D4 and an D810 beside some D90. Tried with caution to set up the weebill s with the D810... unfortunately it will just work with light lenses (I had on a Tamron SP 15-30... which is way too heavy). I think I will go for some mirrorless Camera as I really don't want to overwhelm the weebill. Btw it works amazing with a GoPro 10. Thanks for the heads ups. Next time I'm investing in a gimbal, I'll make sure to read all the specs.
Thanks so much this is so helpful. I have a D750 and wanted to balance it on a Weebill S. I was only going to use my lightweight 35mm D lens (do pre focus) it looks like I will be able. The reason Im looking at the Weebill S is because of the removable batteries. Ive been contemplating buying a Z camera but thought why do that if I can balance my existing equipment
@@keliusher-holmes2165 I didn't go for it in the end - Ive done a number of hydrid shoots where gimbals were at the shoots and watched how much they were used. Most gave up using them and went handheld like me. Gimbals are great but I kind of readoned that I can mostly get round using them. I use my Google pixel 6 for any gimbal like stuff - so far Ive got away with it.
Thanks for the review. I was contemplating on brands & practicality without breaking the bank. Your video did give me some assurance for my mirrorless w/ nikkor 24-70 f-mount 2.8 lens. On a side note, i'm left-handed as well :)
As Craig was pointing out the best match with weebil S is the D850 ( if using Nikon). You can literally connect the camera through usb c cables to the gimbal allowing you to use more functions, especially focus. That said I have a D810 a D4 and a couple of D90s. Well the gimbal is good, not great, but still plenty of functions and well built. Still with a d810 it becomes difficult to handle without an additional grip. I read a comment of a photography/videography fellow owning a D4 and a d810 plus a Tamron SP 15-30. Well I own the same lens too. First it's impossible to use them with this gimbal as they're heavy and not small at all. I tried my sigma 50/1.4. Still the Weebil S was designed to accommodate smaller and less heavy mirrorless cameras. I barely fit the d810. If you are by any mistake resetting the gimbal the camera will get hit hard. I personally sold my weebil s and bought a bigger gimbal which allows a lot of setup space and suit me very well, being extremely easy and comfortable to handle.
Good video Craig. Did you keep the focus locked (AF Off) or did you keep changing it using the focus ring? If you kept the focus locked, where did you focus? - infinity or somewhere in between?
Hey Ravin, definitely AF off on the nikon D810. They video autofocus hunts way to much! If I am vlogging I will focus on a point the same distance as the camera will be to my face then lock off. If it is just general filming then closer to infinity. Hope this helps!
@@ThePhantomPhotographer Thank you, it definitely helps. I have a Nikon D7200 and I can very much relate to the focus hunting. But with the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens, hunting was considerably less, but the focusing sound was prevalent though. Thanks again :)
Just a little update re controlling the camera (D810) for time lapse: just use the USB-Micro to USB-C Micro adapter cable that comes with the Weebill S package and you will be able to widely control the D810, i.e. 1) release the shutter, 2) control the aperture, and 3) let the Weebill release the shutter automatically while taking hundreds of pictures for your time lapse with or without automatic movement.
i'm just a little confused with one thing. i don't have a gimbal but if i was to use the gimbal or the weebill, how can i manage the autofocus on my nikon d850? the autofocus sucks when i'm trying to do a video unless i manually use it. i saw your test shots with the weebill but it seems you don't have an issue with the autofocus. like if i want to do a portrait video, it'll constantly focus and buffer. is there a button on the gimbal or weebill to fix that or to do it manually? because my thought is one hand on the gimbal/weebill and the other hand on the lens controlling the focus. i'm not sure if i'm making any sense to you.
Thank you Craig for this video! I was looking for a gimbal for my d810! I have a question: can I shoot motion timelapse with the d810 and this gimbal?! It would be an amazing tool for traveling
Hey there Matteo. There is a motion timelapse feature on the app for the Weebill S, however there isn't compatibility with the D810 to take the pictures. I actually haven't tried if you can just set the path via the app and then just start the timelapse timing through the camera...hmm. I'll reckon I'll have a try and see if this is workable or not.
Hi Chandra, yes, the full time video auto focus is not good on the D810. Make sure you are not in AF-F and are in AF-S, then pick your focus point. After that, you won't get the focus hunting. The AF-F in video mode is one of the downfalls of this camera. Have a look 4.30 in on this video: th-cam.com/video/Qqf57Vp-1CM/w-d-xo.html I am sure this is what you are talking about. Hope this helps!
Thank you very much. I have a D7100 with a Tamron 28-70 2.8 which is both lighter and slightly smaller body. This makes me confident that it's a good option for me.
For all the nikon users without support from zhiyun.... Buy the extra follow focus CMF-04 in addition with the qdslrdashboard app, connect your camera with to your smartphone with OTG and camera charging cable and ........MAGIC.... You have everything you need, aperture and speed control, external monitor, histogram, FOCUS PEAK screen, mcro focus adjustments and many many more. If you connect otg cable and nikons cable with camera and gimbal you can have perfect timelapse and stills support.
Hi Mate! Thanks for a very informative review!!! Craig, can you share us here how did you get that footages all on focus even your took it in a speed. Thank you in advance for your response!
Hi Frankie, For focussing on the D810 I tend to focus on a point a few meters in front of me, have an aperture of around f8 to f10 and then switch off the auto focus so it no longer tries to look for a focal point. (alternately you can keep it on AF-S and pick your single focus point for the shot. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the video! I have the D850 and I can't find ANY reviews for this combination. I would like to use the D850 (aprox. 1kg) with the 12-24mm f/2.8 (aprox. 1kg) for real estate videos. Do you know if it can handle 2kg of gear?
Hi There, I think that would push this gimbal a bit too far. The below link from Zhiyun gives balancing and compatibility of combos, and looks like your suggested combo would be too much for it. Might have to look at a different gimbal sorry! oss.zhiyun-tech.com/zyplay/instructions_edit/supportmodel/WEEBILL-S-Camera-Compatibility-List.pdf
My heaviest setup was d750 85mm 1.4d with large square sinar filters 125mm thats about 2kg more or less, wheebill s could handle it with ease on medium motor torque. the thing you should worry about is the distribution of weight. For example d5200 with the same lens and filters cannot balance unless i add a speedlight on the top which works as a counerweight.
Hiii thanks for the video. I have a questions, how you can record from weebill s button?, do you have the cable? (What are the outputs?) I have a nikon d750 And I can not record from the gimbal. Thank you!!!
Hi There, sorry I don't have the cable. There is some focus and zoom control with certain lenses and the D750 on this gimbal however. Check out this link for compatibility. Hope this helps a little: oss.zhiyun-tech.com/zyplay/instructions_edit/supportmodel/WEEBILL-S-Camera-Compatibility-List.pdf
Can I pick your experience? My setup is Nikon Z50 with FTZ plus the DX AF-S 16-85 f/3.5-5.6 lens as the primary video shooter. Do you think the Weebill S can balance it? The weight of the lens is not that high but the FTZ push the lens weight further front especially at max zoom.
Hi Felix. On the Weebill S I can balance my Z6 with an FTZ adapter and a Nikon 16-35mm lens. I do have to take the eyepiece off though to move it to undersling mode. The 16-36mm lens is about 13.5cm long. Hope this helps!!
Hi there. Good Question. I have a battery grip but haven't tried it. I do know that once the grip is on though, there definitely wouldn't be enough clearance for underslung mode. Also the extra weight wouldn't be great for the gimbal, especially if the grip is full of batteries!
Hi... Was searching for this combo... I have ordered it and it has arrived... Before unboxing it i want to know my 850 with tamron 15-30 which is 100g more than nikon 14-24 works...
I haven't used it with the Tamron 15-30mm, but I think the extra 100g would be fine. This list doesn't have the tamron on here but you may be able to search for another lens that has similar weight to compare: oss.zhiyun-tech.com/zyplay/instructions_edit/supportmodel/WEEBILL-S-Camera-Compatibility-List.pdf
Hi, very helpfull video, i use nikon d750 and iam looking for gimbal that can connect with this dslr, do you think or you have information that folow focus is working on that combo, tnx.
Hey there Marko. Hope you are having a great day. This link has the full compatibility settings for all cameras for the Weebill S. Hope this helps: oss.zhiyun-tech.com/zyplay/instructions_edit/supportmodel/WEEBILL-S-Camera-Compatibility-List.pdf
Hi, for the follow focus to work you need to buy the extra mechanical follow focus (servo mechanism CMF-04). Which works perfectly with all the lenses manual or not. I really recommend to download the qdslrdashboard app for your smartphone (about 10Euro) which includes aperture and speed control but no iso and wifi control while filming. The most important though with this app is the !!!....FOCUS PEAK....!!! screen. Honestly mate with this setup the only limit is your image quality
Question, can this used as a platform for stills photography ie for several shots to be stitched into panoramics or square image as you would do with a gimbal tripod head?
If the exposure time is short enough, sure. Stitching technology is good enough that I stitch panos from handheld shots sometimes. For long exposures i wouldn't recommend because the motor in the gimbal would create small vibrations. Hope this helps!!
@@ThePhantomPhotographer thanks for that info, I just wanted to know if it was possible as it would save me buying 2 products that could possibly do the same thing when it comes to stills.
The Weebill-S will take the weight of this set up no problem, however you will not be able to use some of the extra compatibility button functions like auto focus from the Weebill etc. You will just have to use the camera itself for this. Hope this helps
Hey there, if you are talking about communicating with the D810, then unfortunately there is no way for them to communicate. The Weebill S is not compatible with the D810 for those additional button features where you can control some settings of the camera with the gimbal.
Hey, thanks for sharing. I have Nikon D800 with Nikon Nikkor AF-S 24-70/2.8 G ED! I don't know how heavy it will be, so my question is does anyone know that the "Zhiyun" can handle it? because the lens is a bit long. Thanks
Max load capacity of the weebill s is 3.5kg so you should be fine. It handles my D820 with 16-35 f4 fine. Lens is not a as bulky as the 24-70mm you mentioned but you should be ok.
My camera is a D3500 and i am wondering if i can ever use a gimble with it. Most cases if it connect via wire live view mode won't work or can't record. What would you suggest give up my thoughts about gimble for this D3500. I rarely use for shooting the DSLR so if support then only will go or else will give us amd continue how it was before.
You'll be able to use any gimbal but it will be for stabilisation only. You won't be able to use any of the other features though. If it we me I wouldn't even get a gimbal for a D3500. The gimbal would be worth more than the camera. I'd get a latest generation GoPro or DJI Action. These have amazing stabilisation and shoot in 4k.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer you are awesome. I accepted your suggestion. Just got the Action 4. I got it from a local store so no gimble Or stick I got. Will use D3500 for photos and Action 4 for videos. I use all these only for my family not like a professional. Here is a video shot yesterday, just way back home with my action 4. Had to admit you are really helpful and yes I got a small beast now.
Good video. But I'm wondering before I buy- can you balance it for something as small as a GoPro 10 or maybe even a Samsung S22 cellphone ? And do you think it is strong enough for the D810 on a battery pack and with a 28-300mm f5.6 zoom lens?
Hi...can i use weebill s with nikon d7100 (765g) with nikkor 35mm (200g) or nikkor 18-105mm (420g) without connecting with gimbal?.....just to get smooth footage.
Hi Israel, the Weebill S should be able to support this weight of lens. Are you locking off all axis and then unlocking 1 axis at a time to setup the balance?
@@ThePhantomPhotographer yes. I'm able to balance it with the 50mm but not the 24-70. Also can I preview what I'm recording. I'm not able to turn the screen on or view it from my phone.
Here is the Weebill compatibility list. Page 23 for the D850 functionality. I don’t know if this will help , but will give you some more information. oss.zhiyun-tech.com/zyplay/instructions_edit/supportmodel/WEEBILL-S-Camera-Compatibility-List.pdf
Hey there. The Gimbal will stabilise the D5600 with normal lenses fine, however you will not be able to use the function buttons on the weebill to control your camera to my knowledge.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer yes I asked this query to customer care they said the same there's no point in buying .... You will not be able to use the gimbal with its full potential...
Hi Francis, the gimbal will be able to balance this camera no problem, but you won't be able to plug it in for the additional features. Hope this helps.
@@francisenaje Good question, I don't know of any gimbals that would, for the age of that camera. With this camera's limited video settings anyway, and you are OK using wider video shots when you are moving, then it may just be worth getting a decent new generation action cam with a $20 mini tripod and use that for video. The stabilisation on the newer Go Pro's and DJi action 2 or 3 are awesome, and it'll give you another shooting option as well. I use a DJI action 2, which is small light weight, has great stability, and super value for money!
Great review Craig. Super smooth footage with the Weebill s. I’m extremely happy with mine! 😀👍👌🤗
Hey mate. Thanks heaps. Yeah pretty impressed that it could take the weight so easily for such a small and lightweight gimbal!

The gimbal would be worth more than the camera. I'd get a latest generation GoPro or DJI Action. These have amazing stabilisation and shoot in 4k.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer you are awesome. I accepted your suggestion. Just got the Action 4. I got it from a local store so no gimble Or stick I got. Will use D3500 for photos and Action 4 for videos. I use all these only for my family not like a professional. Here is a video shot yesterday, just way back home with my action 4. Had to admit you are really helpful and yes I got a small beast now.

@@juneborah1497 Awesome. So glad I could help!
Can use it d5600?
Good video. But I'm wondering before I buy- can you balance it for something as small as a GoPro 10 or maybe even a Samsung S22 cellphone ? And do you think it is strong enough for the D810 on a battery pack and with a 28-300mm f5.6 zoom lens?
Hi...can i use weebill s with nikon d7100 (765g) with nikkor 35mm (200g) or nikkor 18-105mm (420g) without connecting with gimbal?.....just to get smooth footage.
Yes. You certainly can
How do you connect the D810 to the weebill s?
I'm trying to use a 24-70 lens but I'm having trouble balancing it. Am I using the wrong lens?
Hi Israel, the Weebill S should be able to support this weight of lens. Are you locking off all axis and then unlocking 1 axis at a time to setup the balance?
@@ThePhantomPhotographer yes. I'm able to balance it with the 50mm but not the 24-70. Also can I preview what I'm recording. I'm not able to turn the screen on or view it from my phone.
What camera body are you using?
@@ThePhantomPhotographer d850
Here is the Weebill compatibility list. Page 23 for the D850 functionality. I don’t know if this will help , but will give you some more information.

Hey there !
Will it work with nikon d5600
Hey there. The Gimbal will stabilise the D5600 with normal lenses fine, however you will not be able to use the function buttons on the weebill to control your camera to my knowledge.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer yes I asked this query to customer care they said the same there's no point in buying .... You will not be able to use the gimbal with its full potential...
Trying to find spare parts for this is a nightmare, great video though
Really, what broke?
What about the d5300?
Hi Francis, the gimbal will be able to balance this camera no problem, but you won't be able to plug it in for the additional features. Hope this helps.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer Thanks for the response. Do you happen to know what gimbal does the d5300 works, and can use all of it's features?
@@francisenaje Good question, I don't know of any gimbals that would, for the age of that camera. With this camera's limited video settings anyway, and you are OK using wider video shots when you are moving, then it may just be worth getting a decent new generation action cam with a $20 mini tripod and use that for video. The stabilisation on the newer Go Pro's and DJi action 2 or 3 are awesome, and it'll give you another shooting option as well. I use a DJI action 2, which is small light weight, has great stability, and super value for money!
