I know this video is “older” but just know in 2022 it’s still helping ppl!! This was the exact review I needed thank you! You covered all the basis without it feeling rushed and without it feeling long winded. Great review!
It’s a beast of a gimbal for a relatively small price in a small package. After using it only for a few hours I already was completely in love with it.
Exactly. Slow motion hides the jittery imperfection. I can use my Sony a7r3 camera without gimbal at 120fps and slow it down to 240fps with optical flow software and it looks just as good without spending several hundred dollars on gimbal.
This gimbal is the reason why I am going to start NOW creating more content for my channel. When I had to do B-rolls I would use the gopro because of the really good image stabilization. But now, a new age started, now, thanks to this amazing product I, and you can step up your quality of videos to the very next level! Amzing review! thanks so much, I wouldn't buy it if I wasn't watching this video!
That’s a good point - I’ll make sure to add more next time. I use more of my gimbal footage at 50% but I should account for those who don’t. Appreciate the feedback!
Hey Sagi. I just wanted to say thank you for the content. When I search for a topic and you have a video on it, I click you first because you've earned my trust with honest reviews and a clear presentation. Thanks!
Hey Sagi, I did things a little backwards this time. Purchased the Weebill S for my Nikon Z6 after reading some Amazon reviews, and then I watched your video; glad I purchased it and anxious to use once it arrives. Thanks for the step by step informative video.
Bro.... you have one of the best photo/video related channels out there.... how do your videos not have a million views!! Keep up the great content... Its almost like having my own personal mentor!
⭐️ Order the Zhiyun Weebill S: geni.us/UOACzSh (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the new Zhiyun Weebill-S helpful. Did you like it? I wasn’t sure what to expect from this gimbal because it’s smaller than others I’ve had, but the performance was outstanding! NOTE: got some feedback from viewers. I should have show more real-time footage to show that I didn’t experience microjitters. I almost exclusively use gimbal footage at 50% speed, but other people do not. I will incorporate into future reviews. Would this work for your setup? If you have questions about a particular camera+lens combo, ask me below. Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏
What was your experience, using the 90D with this gimbal. I have an 80D and I always thought that a camera of that kínd would be too heavy for a gimbal like this. Thanks in advance. I really love your videos.
They won't ship it to Alaska, not sure why, I'm guessing the battery WHICH is funny cause i can order the Zhiyun (Official) Weebill Lab 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless Cameras lol!!! go figure.
Gimbal looks amazing, but going to stick with the Crane M2 for now. Love it's portability and compatibility with the a6400 for quick vlogging. Keep up the great reviews!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I see a problem when trying to remotely control Sony cameras through any gimbal. - If one uses a cable connection (PC remote) the SteadyShot function will disappear. - If one uses a wireless connection (smartphone remote) the eye/face AF function will disappear. Is that correct? Am I missing something?
Dear Tech, I really valued your appraisal of the Weebill S and I do think it's for me. I have been dying to buy a gimbal for my DSLR Setup which weighs in at 1.148kg and I am glad I waited. Your Cinematic Video take was sublime to say the least; I almost forgot why I was watching you. Super well done! Oh sorry, back to the review - Just sublime and sincere thanks to YOU, my new adopted friend..
ok now that it's two years later would you still recommend this? Also can you tell me about possible ways to mount my phone to any gimbal to use as a monitor?
Yeah-but…. I’m learning how to use my new Weebill S gimbal but having a frustrating time with PANNING! 1- is it normal, during panning, that as I horizontally turn the handle of the Weebill, the camera LAGS behind slightly? 2- I’m getting a rhythmic motion where the resultant video LAGS, then CATCHES UP in the direction of the pan, then LAGS, then CATCHES UP. I am turning the handle on a steady and slow rate (to the right for example). Quite frustrating.
I purchased this particular gimbal using a Canon t7i camera. I'm having a problem connecting the cable from the camera to the gimbal. The t7i uses a Micro USB port and the Weebill-S appears to use a USB-C port? The cables provided don't seem to provide a proper one. Have you noticed this problem?
I would want this gimbal, and with two young kids I could see a lot of use out of it. Following them around, at their level as they run around and play together, or as they learn to ride bikes etc. I'm not really using my M50 for anything professional yet, mostly just a hobby. Current setup is the m50 of course, the kit lens, recently I got the viltrox adaptor so I can use the 18-55mm kit lens from my EOS 20D, and the 75-300mm lens I got for the 20D. I also inherited a 500mm Seimar lens from my mother in laws dad, and I have a cheap tasco telescope that i can mount my m50 on. Eventually I want to get a better telescope that's capable of tracking objects in the sky. Not only would it be fun to explore the night sky in detail, but its really cool when I can share it with people. I have made a new channel with that idea in mind but it doesn't have much there yet.
Can you say whether or not the gimbal can control the ISO/Aperture/Shutter on the Sony A7iii? If so, can you control those settings while the wireless image transmitter is plugged in to the HDMI?
Tech Gear Talk I have the AirCross 2 gimbal. Once I plug the USB cable into my gimbal from the camera, the HDMI to my external monitor goes black. I think it’s a common issue with the A7iii where you can’t use the USB and HDMI ports at the same time. If you manage to get it to work with the transmitter, please let me know.
Tech Gear Talk I think I read somewhere that there were some improvements to HDMI on the A7Riv. Have you tried testing out that camera to see if you can use the USB and HDMI at the same time? If it works, then maybe we have to wait for the next big thing from Sony.
I have a problem balancing my X-T3 with 18-55mm and battery grip using Weebill Lab. I am considering to buy AK4500 as replacement, then this was launched. Does the weebill S can solve my problem?
I have seen that the Zhiyun S is compatible with the Canon M50, but I have not been able to find anywhere if it is compatible with the M50 MK ii. Any thoughts?
Yes, it should work with all of those lenses. I also got the smallrig QR plate and counterweights (in description) so I can pretty much balance anything now.
well I think I found my new toy, I shut with my iPhone and Sony A6400 so I think this gimbal should do the job. I was using the DJI OM4 with my iPhone but I could not get used to operate with one hand and I see with this gimbal you can get extra leverage and better control with two hands -Great video !
Hi...Have you ever used any light weight set up with Weebil S like Sony 6300 with kit lens....I am trying to use 6300 with sigma 30 mm 1.4 but gimbal is vibrating...but with heavy setup is working fine...please suggest any solution....Thanks in advance.
Question - does the gimbal break down or come apart like the Ronin SC? There were many shortfalls in the Ronin SC which I made a video about, but I'd like it if a company would nail this portability with payload mastery....
So, I just ordered my Canon 90D and I'm looking at gimbals. I like the Zhiyun Crane-M2, because its so compact and concise, but I'm not sure it can balance the 90D with a 18-55 zoom lens. What is your experience? Will the M2 work or do I need a larger gimbal like the Weebill S?
Hi there. First, CONGRATS on the 90D - such an amazing camera. Next, you'll need the Weebill S, the M2 will not support the 90D with any lens - it's much too small. Hope that helps and thanks for being part of the channel!
Hello master. Wanna ask. For canon eos m50 + sigma 16 mm f1.4. Which should we use? This weebil S or any series u recommend? Thank u on advance 🙏🙏😊😊😊🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Hi, how smooth you think this gimbal is comparing to old weebil? I like the form factor but the it was always jittery and totally anapprpriate for pro work. Of course with 50%speed it can be fixed but i want real quality :) so a comparision would be great with weebil one. Thanks
Hi. I don’t have real data to answer this. I only used the original very briefly and with a lot of other gimbals in between. it’s very difficult to compare without using them at the same time. I will say that I was happy with it. I do almost exclusively use my gimbal footage at 50% but I totally know what you’re saying about 100%
Love my weebill S. I also have the transmission module and have a Sony ZV-E10 mounted. Have you had any luck with the Weebill S (either through direct connection to the gimbal or through transmission module) to control any sony camera functions? So far I have been unsuccessful in getting control over any camera functions. Just to be able to use the red shutter button would be nice.
Hiya, I have the 90D with Sigma 1i8-35mm. Will this gimble be okay? I have s Ronin S snd loads of stuff doesn't work properly with jittery footage at 25fps. Its also a pain to balance and it kinda put me off gimbles and pissed me off aa it was expdnsive. Hope this gimble is better
With the ronin sc the biggest lenses I have on my m50 is a sigma 16mm will it balance well and does have any restrictions like hitting the back with any titling and adjusting with the long heavy 16mm sigma lenses. Also would you agree the build of the weebill isn’t as durable as the ronin sc ??
It will work and balance. You'll need a cage ( th-cam.com/video/KESjvc4z4nA/w-d-xo.html ) or a riser plate so that the lens doesn't hit the quick release plate. No restrictions. I have no issues with the build quality of the WBS. I haven't seen the SC in a while, it is very well built for sure (but overkill for the M50 in my opinion)
You can definitely balance the 200d. The G7x might be a little light, but you can use something like this: th-cam.com/video/UrKfZuEYUC8/w-d-xo.html (which is what I do)
Is it possible, maybe using specific settings, to use a gimbal to record a smoother walking footage without making it look too unnatural or cinematic like? What I have in mind is typically exploring a place holding a camera, you want to remove as many micro jitters as possible but still have it look rather natural with slight bumps when you're walking etc. Using a non IBIS camera + non OSS lens, could a gimbal achieve this or is there any other kind of gear more suited for this use case?
It's a little hard to answer because "natural with slight bumps" could mean different things. I think it will work perfectly with the setup you're describing (no IBIS or OSS)
Thank you for the review. Would you pick this over the Ronin SC as your first gimbal and why? Not sure if you mentioned this before but does this gimbal have active track? Also, have you tried the zoom and focus control on this one? Is it any better than the Ronin SC?
I like the handling better on this one, but I like the app better on the SC. I don't believe this has active track. I did not use the zoom and focus because that is not a feature I ever use (I'm really shaky when holding the gimbal in one hand 😂) I have seen it used and it is very smooth from what I can tell.
Thanks Veronica! I can almost guarantee that you'll need counter weights because the lens is big and the adapter pushes it even farther forward. As far as weight you should be fine. Hope this was helpful.
This really looks like it could meet my criteria, but do you ever run into the limitations of the rotation of the tilt and/or roll axes? It seems like the Moza AirCross 2 has the upper hand there since it's 360° for each axis, but unfortunately that gimbal is so much bigger. 😒 I want a gimbal that is super light and portable for my a6400. Because I am a hobbyist interested in filming my kids and doing small video projects, ideally I just want all of my gear to fit easily into one backpack. It looked to me like your horizon was off in some of those clips at the end. 🤔
I did not feel limited by the rotation in any real shooting situation. It's very possible that with messing around with it so much on a shoot, switching cameras and lenses, there were times when I didn't autotune or re-balance it well. Which clips had a horizon tilt?
My gimbal arrived today! Random question, does your gimbal also makes a squeaky noise when the pan axis is locked? Once I unlocked the pan axis the squeaky noise is gone.
Hi Vivian. I have not tried such a light setup with this gimbal because I use the Zhiyun M2 for action cameras and phones (it's so much smaller). I'm pretty sure I've seen someone use a gopro on it, but I have not. If I get a chance, I'll give it a shot and update this thread.
This is a big question now. It depends on your setup, what you want and what your priorities are. I really like the size, weight and handling is WS. I like the DJI app better.
Hi there. I do not know, but I think it should work. Absolute worse case, you get the smallrig quick release plate and counter weights (see video description)
I'm not sure if you have these problems I have... I've tried like hell but been unable to keep mine from wobbling ever so slightly on roll axis. I've balanced it PERFECTLY. I have a light camera, a6400. I increased my dead zone. I also turned the roll motor up to maximum strength (only thing that helped). It's still noticeable to me. It also ALWAYS likes to drift to the left on the roll / CCW. It sets a couple degrees off all the time. I level the roll axis and a little while later it's back to a few degrees off. I love the gimbal but this is super annoying. My little EVO gimbal for my gopro is the best gimbal I have but don't have the functionality of this one, otherwise I'd have bought a larger EVO instead of this weebil s
Hi Matt, that sounds super strange, especially since you took the extra step to manually correct the roll axis. I have not noticed that behavior, have you reached out to Zhiyun?
Hey thanks for your reply :) Not on this particular issue. I need to though, I thought maybe it was inherent in the gimbal but you answered that question... Mine is so subtle that possibly only a creator would notice. However, I don't notice it in any of your footage. Beautiful content by the way :)
I totally get what you're saying - and once you see it, you can't un-see it! Appreciate the kind words about the content 🙏 Let me know if you find out something that could be helpful to others.
Hi, I know I’m late for asking. I’m considering this over dji ronin s. But, I’m in doubt if this compatible with my canon 6d mark ii. The lenses that I used is the 24-70 f4 and 50mm f1.8. If it is compatible, can I still use the autofocus on these lenses while using this gimbal? Thanks in advance always love your channel 🙏🏼
Question sir, can you disassemble for transport and also remove the plate? From what I see it sticks out, if you remove it, do you need to rebalance when you put it back?
@@TechGearTalk wow that was quick thanks for the answer. I currently have the SC, still within the return window. I like the smaller factor of the S and the battery would be cheaper
@@TechGearTalk Sony a6400, currently have 35mm,might get the 18-105 which is pretty heavy but doesn't change size when zoomed in. That's another thing, I think my sony isn't supported, but they said there is a workaround (like chose Canon or something) to start/stop recording
Thank you very much for the review! I have a question. On the official manual it said the WEEBILL-S will not be able to control ISO/Tv/Av while connecting to SONY cameras through micro-USB. Is that the case? Or will they release newer firmware to correct that? Thanks!
seasoned photographer getting into video, and this was going to be my starter gimbal for 5d mark iv. I have every canon prime EF lense except a 24-70 2.8, but I do have the ef 24-105 f4, can it handle that with mark iv?
Hi Anthony - nice setup! I think it's a very nice gimbal (I'm only not saying "best" because of course it can't compete with something like a Movi Pro, Ronin 2, etc.) If you run into any issues with any camera, you can always get the smallrig quick release plate and counter weights (which is what I do) Hope this helps.
Tech Gear Talk thank you for your response your always so helpful and appreciate it! Just trying to find the perfect gimbal that matches my payload and could adapt to other cameras if I ever upgrade. I was looking at this as well as crane 2, crane 3, and robin s but the 90d isn’t on the compatibility list
I have a crane 3 lab - it's quite large and heavy. If it were me, I'd get the Weebill S. I would want the smallest gimbal that does the work I need (otherwise it's too big and heavy and I don't bring it)
Hey.. firstly thx for video bro.. tell me please, can i use all of features this gimbal with 200d.. beacuse i have a 200d and i need a gimbal.. for example for starting video or make a zoom with 200d, can i use this gimbal's buttons??
You can't zoom without a follow focus module, and I don't believe you can start and stop recording. I use my 200d with it all the time, I just press the button to start recording. Hope that helps.
Absolutely! You'll need a cage for the M50 th-cam.com/video/KESjvc4z4nA/w-d-xo.html so that the lens doesn't hit the quick release plate. You can also use a riser plate, but the cage has other uses. Hope that helps. (Sagi)

Ed, I couldn't agree more. I think right now this may still be the most underrated gimbal on the market. Appreciate you sharing you experience!
Why were all your shots in slow motion? We need real time footage to see if there are micro jitters and other imperfects.
Someone else mentioned this. That makes sense. I’ll incorporate more with the next gimbal review. Appreciate the feedback.
That's exactly what I came on here to say. Need real time footage. Slow motion does nothing for me. The rest of the review is great though.
Exactly. Slow motion hides the jittery imperfection. I can use my Sony a7r3 camera without gimbal at 120fps and slow it down to 240fps with optical flow software and it looks just as good without spending several hundred dollars on gimbal.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I see a problem when trying to remotely control Sony cameras through any gimbal.
- If one uses a cable connection (PC remote) the SteadyShot function will disappear.
- If one uses a wireless connection (smartphone remote) the eye/face AF function will disappear.
Is that correct? Am I missing something?

Does the weight effect battery life ?
And is there any extra batteries for Weebill s and should we use them ?
ok now that it's two years later would you still recommend this? Also can you tell me about possible ways to mount my phone to any gimbal to use as a monitor?
For an M50 MKII, would this be the wiser choice for vlogging/walking, or is it a little too bulky and/or heavy? Thanks!

how to choose the correct brushless gimbal motor size for my design? it depends the torque?? or the weight the company specifies?

Hi Reference to the Weebill S Do you know if will suite any palm sized CamCorders?
well I think I found my new toy, I shut with my iPhone and Sony A6400 so I think this gimbal should do the job. I was using the DJI OM4 with my iPhone but I could not get used to operate with one hand and I see with this gimbal you can get extra leverage and better control with two hands -Great video !
Hi...Have you ever used any light weight set up with Weebil S like Sony 6300 with kit lens....I am trying to use 6300 with sigma 30 mm 1.4 but gimbal is vibrating...but with heavy setup is working fine...please suggest any solution....Thanks in advance.
Do you know if this works with Nikon D7500? Thanks
Did it work with canon 77d?
does having ibis benefit when using a gimbal? will you get the same results on a camera whether a ibis is on or off?
Yes, it's beneficial - the only time to turn off IBIS is when on a tripod.
@@TechGearTalk Thank you sir :)
Glad I could help. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Question - does the gimbal break down or come apart like the Ronin SC? There were many shortfalls in the Ronin SC which I made a video about, but I'd like it if a company would nail this portability with payload mastery....
Only the tripod feet come off of this one.
Tech Gear Talk dang. Thanks for making this video
Welcome! Hope it was helpful.
So, I just ordered my Canon 90D and I'm looking at gimbals. I like the Zhiyun Crane-M2, because its so compact and concise, but I'm not sure it can balance the 90D with a 18-55 zoom lens. What is your experience? Will the M2 work or do I need a larger gimbal like the Weebill S?
Hi there. First, CONGRATS on the 90D - such an amazing camera. Next, you'll need the Weebill S, the M2 will not support the 90D with any lens - it's much too small. Hope that helps and thanks for being part of the channel!
Tech Gear Talk Thank you. I’m really excited and looking forward to it. I also appreciate the good work you do for us.
Glad I could help. Appreciate you being part of the channel!
Hello master. Wanna ask. For canon eos m50 + sigma 16 mm f1.4. Which should we use? This weebil S or any series u recommend? Thank u on advance 🙏🙏😊😊😊🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
I’ll let you know in a few days 😉
Hey bro :) is this gimbal compatible with Sony zv e10? Please reply :)
Is it compatible with the canon t3i?
Hi, how smooth you think this gimbal is comparing to old weebil? I like the form factor but the it was always jittery and totally anapprpriate for pro work. Of course with 50%speed it can be fixed but i want real quality :) so a comparision would be great with weebil one. Thanks
Hi. I don’t have real data to answer this. I only used the original very briefly and with a lot of other gimbals in between. it’s very difficult to compare without using them at the same time. I will say that I was happy with it. I do almost exclusively use my gimbal footage at 50% but I totally know what you’re saying about 100%
Love my weebill S. I also have the transmission module and have a Sony ZV-E10 mounted. Have you had any luck with the Weebill S (either through direct connection to the gimbal or through transmission module) to control any sony camera functions? So far I have been unsuccessful in getting control over any camera functions. Just to be able to use the red shutter button would be nice.
Hiya, I have the 90D with Sigma 1i8-35mm. Will this gimble be okay? I have s Ronin S snd loads of stuff doesn't work properly with jittery footage at 25fps. Its also a pain to balance and it kinda put me off gimbles and pissed me off aa it was expdnsive. Hope this gimble is better
With the ronin sc the biggest lenses I have on my m50 is a sigma 16mm will it balance well and does have any restrictions like hitting the back with any titling and adjusting with the long heavy 16mm sigma lenses. Also would you agree the build of the weebill isn’t as durable as the ronin sc ??
It will work and balance. You'll need a cage ( th-cam.com/video/KESjvc4z4nA/w-d-xo.html ) or a riser plate so that the lens doesn't hit the quick release plate. No restrictions.
I have no issues with the build quality of the WBS. I haven't seen the SC in a while, it is very well built for sure (but overkill for the M50 in my opinion)
Do you think that Zhiyun Weebill S with the camera Nikon d5600 and de lens sigma art 18-35 1.8mm would be a good idea?
It would be a great setup!
Does it work with Canon 200D and G7x
You can definitely balance the 200d. The G7x might be a little light, but you can use something like this: th-cam.com/video/UrKfZuEYUC8/w-d-xo.html (which is what I do)
Is it possible to mount the camera in vertical?
Is it possible, maybe using specific settings, to use a gimbal to record a smoother walking footage without making it look too unnatural or cinematic like?
What I have in mind is typically exploring a place holding a camera, you want to remove as many micro jitters as possible but still have it look rather natural with slight bumps when you're walking etc.
Using a non IBIS camera + non OSS lens, could a gimbal achieve this or is there any other kind of gear more suited for this use case?
It's a little hard to answer because "natural with slight bumps" could mean different things. I think it will work perfectly with the setup you're describing (no IBIS or OSS)
Thank you for the review. Would you pick this over the Ronin SC as your first gimbal and why? Not sure if you mentioned this before but does this gimbal have active track? Also, have you tried the zoom and focus control on this one? Is it any better than the Ronin SC?
I like the handling better on this one, but I like the app better on the SC. I don't believe this has active track. I did not use the zoom and focus because that is not a feature I ever use (I'm really shaky when holding the gimbal in one hand 😂)
I have seen it used and it is very smooth from what I can tell.
Great video! Do you think it would work with canon eos R and 16-35mm 2.8? I'll have to use the adapter as well.
Thanks Veronica! I can almost guarantee that you'll need counter weights because the lens is big and the adapter pushes it even farther forward. As far as weight you should be fine. Hope this was helpful.
Tech Gear Talk I’m going to rent the EOS R and the 15-35 RF lens, will that work? Great review, I subscribed
This really looks like it could meet my criteria, but do you ever run into the limitations of the rotation of the tilt and/or roll axes? It seems like the Moza AirCross 2 has the upper hand there since it's 360° for each axis, but unfortunately that gimbal is so much bigger. 😒
I want a gimbal that is super light and portable for my a6400. Because I am a hobbyist interested in filming my kids and doing small video projects, ideally I just want all of my gear to fit easily into one backpack.
It looked to me like your horizon was off in some of those clips at the end. 🤔
I did not feel limited by the rotation in any real shooting situation. It's very possible that with messing around with it so much on a shoot, switching cameras and lenses, there were times when I didn't autotune or re-balance it well. Which clips had a horizon tilt?
@@TechGearTalk the walking bridge clips and the one at the very end. 🤷🏽♀️ Cool review either way. 👍
Appreciate you taking the time to share this!
Great review. The follow focus, is it a new module or is the Weebill S compatible with the older follow focus? And if so, which one?
Hi, I'm not sure if it's compatible with older FF modules because I don't have one.
My gimbal arrived today!
Random question, does your gimbal also makes a squeaky noise when the pan axis is locked? Once I unlocked the pan axis the squeaky noise is gone.
CONGRATS!!! Do you mean locked with the setting or locked with the red "lock"
What are the differences with the weebill lab?
Buying it. Better than the others. All in one
Can i shout virtual for Instagram story’s with this gimbal?
Have you tried it on the Canon RP?
Can i use this with GoPro 8 or iphoneX? Im very new with gimbal.. I need gimbal that i can use for sony a6000, gopro8 and iphoneX. Thanks in advance!
Hi Vivian. I have not tried such a light setup with this gimbal because I use the Zhiyun M2 for action cameras and phones (it's so much smaller). I'm pretty sure I've seen someone use a gopro on it, but I have not. If I get a chance, I'll give it a shot and update this thread.
Hello. I am seriously considering buying this, but when I saw that Canon 7d is not included in the compatible camera list, I hesitated. Pls help.
It just means you can't control the camera functions (start/stop, aperture, SS, ISO). That doesn't bother me.
Weebill s vs ronin sc
What should i buy?
This is a big question now. It depends on your setup, what you want and what your priorities are. I really like the size, weight and handling is WS. I like the DJI app better.
Brilliant review just what I needed 👌🏻👍🏻
Do you know if can handle a Sony AX700 camcorder,? I mean it's enough space for the viewfinder not hitting the motor of the gimbal?
Hi there. I do not know, but I think it should work. Absolute worse case, you get the smallrig quick release plate and counter weights (see video description)
I'm not sure if you have these problems I have... I've tried like hell but been unable to keep mine from wobbling ever so slightly on roll axis. I've balanced it PERFECTLY. I have a light camera, a6400. I increased my dead zone. I also turned the roll motor up to maximum strength (only thing that helped). It's still noticeable to me. It also ALWAYS likes to drift to the left on the roll / CCW. It sets a couple degrees off all the time. I level the roll axis and a little while later it's back to a few degrees off. I love the gimbal but this is super annoying. My little EVO gimbal for my gopro is the best gimbal I have but don't have the functionality of this one, otherwise I'd have bought a larger EVO instead of this weebil s
Hi Matt, that sounds super strange, especially since you took the extra step to manually correct the roll axis. I have not noticed that behavior, have you reached out to Zhiyun?
Hey thanks for your reply :) Not on this particular issue. I need to though, I thought maybe it was inherent in the gimbal but you answered that question... Mine is so subtle that possibly only a creator would notice. However, I don't notice it in any of your footage. Beautiful content by the way :)
I totally get what you're saying - and once you see it, you can't un-see it! Appreciate the kind words about the content 🙏 Let me know if you find out something that could be helpful to others.
Hi Sir! I have a questions. Zhiyun Weebill S can carry the 6d mark ii with 35mm sigma 1.4?
I don’t have that setup - but it sounds manageable
Thanks for the review! can't wait to get mine!
I'm super glad it was helpful Mike! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
Is it good for vertical shooting?
Yes. You just need a vertical mount.
@@TechGearTalk would a a camera cage for the m50 work?
It should work because you have the 1/4 20 holes.
Hi, I know I’m late for asking. I’m considering this over dji ronin s. But, I’m in doubt if this compatible with my canon 6d mark ii. The lenses that I used is the 24-70 f4 and 50mm f1.8. If it is compatible, can I still use the autofocus on these lenses while using this gimbal? Thanks in advance always love your channel 🙏🏼
It should work just fine. It’s about the same size as the 90d I used with the 24-70 2.8. You can still use the autofocus.
Tech Gear Talk thanks for the reply man. Appreciate it 🙏🏼
Glad I was able to help 🙏🏻
Thanks for this amazing review, as always.
Does the Weebill S handle the canon m6 mark II with sigma 16 1.4 lens ?
Question sir, can you disassemble for transport and also remove the plate? From what I see it sticks out, if you remove it, do you need to rebalance when you put it back?
Hi. Yes, you can remove the plate. Yes, you'll need to rebalance, but just that axis, shouldn't take more than 10-15 seconds.
@@TechGearTalk wow that was quick thanks for the answer. I currently have the SC, still within the return window. I like the smaller factor of the S and the battery would be cheaper
I really like the handling on the S. What setup are you putting on it?
@@TechGearTalk Sony a6400, currently have 35mm,might get the 18-105 which is pretty heavy but doesn't change size when zoomed in.
That's another thing, I think my sony isn't supported, but they said there is a workaround (like chose Canon or something) to start/stop recording
Yeah, someone said that. I use it with the wireless transmitter and it works. I can start and stop recording.
Compared to the ronin SC, which one you would prefer?
I prefer using the WBS in terms of handling and shooting. I like the DJI app better. Hope this was helpful.
@@TechGearTalk
So if you have no gimbal and want du buy one, would you rather buy the ronin SC or the WBS? Mainly used for videos
Personally, I would get the WBS
very detailed review, been comparing all professionals reviewing this weebil-s and you are always my number one go to!
Super glad it was helpful 👊
Thank you very much for the review! I have a question. On the official manual it said the WEEBILL-S will not be able to control ISO/Tv/Av while connecting to SONY cameras through micro-USB. Is that the case? Or will they release newer firmware to correct that? Thanks!
I don’t k ow what they will do in the future. As of now, I believe I was only able to start and stop recording. Which camera are you using?
@@TechGearTalk SONY A6400
I have one, so I'll test is and can let you know if they ever release it.
Sir, which one is better for canon 77d
This one
seasoned photographer getting into video, and this was going to be my starter gimbal for 5d mark iv. I have every canon prime EF lense except a 24-70 2.8, but I do have the ef 24-105 f4, can it handle that with mark iv?
I use a canon 90d as well as a sigma 18-35 do you feel this would be the best gimbal for my set up?
Hi Anthony - nice setup! I think it's a very nice gimbal (I'm only not saying "best" because of course it can't compete with something like a Movi Pro, Ronin 2, etc.)
If you run into any issues with any camera, you can always get the smallrig quick release plate and counter weights (which is what I do)
Hope this helps.
Tech Gear Talk thank you for your response your always so helpful and appreciate it! Just trying to find the perfect gimbal that matches my payload and could adapt to other cameras if I ever upgrade. I was looking at this as well as crane 2, crane 3, and robin s but the 90d isn’t on the compatibility list
Tech Gear Talk the zhiyun tech crane 3 lab is on sale right now on B&H and wondering if you think I should act on it before the sale is gone?
I have a crane 3 lab - it's quite large and heavy. If it were me, I'd get the Weebill S. I would want the smallest gimbal that does the work I need (otherwise it's too big and heavy and I don't bring it)
Hey.. firstly thx for video bro.. tell me please, can i use all of features this gimbal with 200d.. beacuse i have a 200d and i need a gimbal.. for example for starting video or make a zoom with 200d, can i use this gimbal's buttons??
You can't zoom without a follow focus module, and I don't believe you can start and stop recording. I use my 200d with it all the time, I just press the button to start recording. Hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk thanks for answer.. what is the focus module bro??
Hi Siggy, do you think this Gimbal would suits my Canon m50 with Sigma 16mm f1.4? Thanks..!
Absolutely! You'll need a cage for the M50 th-cam.com/video/KESjvc4z4nA/w-d-xo.html so that the lens doesn't hit the quick release plate. You can also use a riser plate, but the cage has other uses. Hope that helps. (Sagi)
@@TechGearTalk Thank you so much Sagi:)
@@TechGearTalk yes, just found that the riser plate would interference the battery portion...
Hello, nice footage!
Does it work with a Panasonic HC 1500E? Thank you!
Do they plan on fixing issues of the old one? DJI actually supports their products
I have only briefly used the original one. What were the issues?
