    Not going to lie, I skipped this tutorial, went around, only to realize this is by far the best one. Thanks a lot!

    This is my first gimbal and this is hands down one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Super clear but easy explained. Was able to set it up in a couple of minutes!

  • @ClovisPictures

    I unboxed my Weebill and as soon as I saw how small the instruction book was printed, I immediately looked up a tutorial. Thanks for this, it was very easy to follow.

    Okay, here's a story: so this is my first gimbal, and I'm really struggling with balancing. I watched EVERY tutorial out there, and I couldn't get it right. I was going crazy, getting SO frustrated ripping my hair out. And then I found your tutorial. Your little words of encouragement at 5:58 were honestly so helpful - I took your advice, set it down and walked away for a bit. Anyways, now I have a perfectly balanced gimbal, and I can't wait to start shooting. Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial!! I will definitely be returning to watch when I need to balance my other cameras. Cheers x

      Jessi Quinlan Same thing happened to me lol I got mine last night and was so frustrated. I had to put it down and watch some more videos until one made sense. How has your shooting been so far? I’m thinking I may ride to the beach to test it out.

      True story, got my first gimbal (Weebill Lab S) yesterday as well and I was highly frustrated as I struggled to balance my Sony A7III. Watched several videos until I found this excellent one. So I also took his advice and let the gimbal rest... When I came back from lunch and a walk, my gimbal was set up perfectly right! Thanks brownies! 😉
      Excellent video thank you!

    @melissaspc7765 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When i got this gimbal for the first time i was so tired to balance it cause it already seems like so difficult but now i can say that with practice i can balance it in 10 seconds without problems. So if you are angry about this, that's totaly normal you're not stupid, you have to practice to be more comfortable and don't forget watching more setup videos to get the thing fastly.

      @@EvanThomas Absolutely! Been trying to find a gimbal for my bmpcc 4k and keep coming back to this little guy; even if I need counter-weights. After watching this video, I feel a lot more confident in the Weebill S. Thoughts on trying to balance the 4k with a Smallrig full-cage? I know they say it can't be done, and that it can only handle a half-cage. But, I'm curious as to your thoughts. Thanks, Evan!

    Thanks for this tutorial. I've had this gimbal for 2 months and thought I was balancing it correctly. Apparently not. My batteries would last closer to 3-4 hours rather than 10-12, assuming the motors were working overtime for my poorly balanced set-up. Eager to try this out now with everything perfect.
