Long time GlideCam user here, poor thing got all rusty over 8 years, received my Weebill-S today and opening the box was scary, all those parts, your video helped a lot and made it easy! Thank you
You’re welcome! Enjoy the Weebill-S! So far its pretty good! Prefer it to the Ronin SC.
Thank u, the other tutorials acted like everybody knows how to put the mounting plate onto camera. They were doing it in single step , while u split it into 4 steps , which was really helpful and made me able to mount camera onto the gimbal. ...now watching the rest of the video. ....thank u
BEST Step by step tutorial for Zhiyun Weebil S! Thank you! You saved me from a lot of time and headache!
I got my Weebill s last week and i finally used it today. Your video was sooooooo helpful and I'm so grateful. The whole thing seems so overwhelming and and I was scared I purchased the wrong stabiliser for my lumix g7 but your video was very easy to follow and honestly I didn't struggle as much. Only thing is, none of the cables go into my camera but it stabilises very well. My first video turned out quite well. I can't wait to get used to it . Thank you so much xx
Hi have you got the chance to connect the lumix g7 to your weebill s? What cable did you use?
Just got this gimbal and your video is SUPER HELPFUL. I’ve watched a lot of videos but yours made the most sense to me. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for this indepth video. Alot of others skip parts that leave you confused and in the dark. Youve made it extremely easy! Thanks again
You’re welcome!
Excellent video, got my gimbal setup/balancing up and running quickly. Unlike other videos including Zhiyun tech's own tutorial, it does not skip important details about components which ultimately saves lot of time and frustration. Thank you so much..!
Thank you!! So much better than other tutorials where they tend to skip many minor points that are critical for novice users.
You've got that right!
Thank you. U save my life. I have a photoshoot tomorrow and it was flapping like a mofo. Now im good. Thanks :)
Haha you're welcome! What camera setup are you using btw? =)
Tq so much..you saved my life!!!Just got my a6400 & Weebill S yesterday..tq
Thanks so much for this. I got a Weebill-S before even considering compatibility with my G9.
Thanks very much for the tuition. Yours is the only one I've found to go into depth although I'm still trying to figure out exactly what each mode does and when to use it. This is my first gimbal and would have been totally lost without your video.
You’re welcome! Glad the video helped! Here is a video tutorial on how to navigate your Weebill S. Maybe this would be useful. ruclips.net/video/qEEKYwMGmNo/видео.html
I have a Weebill-s and a G9 you saved my life with this great video ( the trick of the cable ) Great thanks!
Must to say, it’s the only video that helps me to setup and realize how to do it. Thank you!
Thank you! I just bought the Weebill S used for $100 even though I didn't think it was compatible with my G9.
Dude you got the best explanation and demonstration on how to balance a camera on a weebill s. Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You really took your time to explain everything clearly!
Great step-by-step tutorial. Thank you.
love these videos! nice work. just got mine today and you've really helped me figure this thing out!
You’re welcome! Enjoy the Weebill S!
I am kicking it with the canon m50+speedbooster+24-70mm 1.4L. It’s compatible. I find myself in need of getting use to the weebill S. My first photo shoot with this setup was was ok. I fumble here and there but I got it done. I can see how I can do better if I remember better where all the buttons are.
Hey there! Its so difficult to remember so many different functions hence i decided to make this video. 😂
Thank You! You’re the only tutorial that’s explained, where and how to insert the batteries! (You deserve 1 million subscribers!) unfortunately the compartment on my weebil is not opening with any kind of pressure
You’re welcome! Maybe press it in slightly and push it upwards. It’s a little slippery surface. 😂
Thank you for the tutorial!
I think the weebill S is the best travel gimbal even today in jan 2022. After watching and analyzing all the gimbals, it is the one with best features, self repairable, and the only one with removable battery, very strong with lightweight, good stability with latest firmware 2.07. Very good accessories like transmount adapter, smallrig handle and arca swiss plate for smallrig cage. Very easy low footage smooth transition with the slung handle. At very reasonable price during christmas. $369 CDN dollars. I have a7c with smallrig cage 3212. The weebill s would be the best for that that allow even bigger lenses like 28-75 or 24-105. Can it take my 70-300. Maybe with the cage as now my a7c is 509g + 192g + weight of the smallrig plate. It should act as a counterweigh
Good info, thanks for taking time to share. I am moving from a Crane 2 to the Weebill S...used it on 3 shoots and liking it. One suggestion you may have noticed already, set your filming camera on manual focus, it keeps hunting and menu items are not in focus with your moving hand.
This was really great and helpful. Mine seems to be behaving a little differently, though. For example, pressing POV 3x does nothing, but pressing the trigger 3x engages selfie mode. I'm on a newer version of the gimbal software than when this video was shot, so wondering if that's why. Vortex also doesn't engage in the way you instructed. I gotta do some more digging.
Excellent instructional video! Very clear and precise. Thank you for creating g and sharing with us.
G9 owner... Got the information I wanted in the first minute. Thanks! Thumbs up!!!
That was good! I just tried mine last night with my Sony a7C but got tons of vibration. Your setup is much more detailed than the other tutorials I've watched, and I have a feeling that your tutorial will help me get rid of that noisy, loud vibration when I try again (following your tutorial) tomorrow. I thought it would be a breeze, because my Zhiyun Crane M2 (for a Sony RX100VA) was much easier to get going, and no vibration, etc.
From what i read, if you have vibration it is because the strength of the motors roll, pan, tilt are set too high. You should reduce the levels. The vibration should disapear. Also make sure to use 2.07 firmware. They have solve some vibrations issues in 2.06, 2.07 has been tested successfully. Also make sure to do the auto setup before changing the values. Eventually you can try the full calibration as indicated in the documentation (6 position). But try first auto balancing, then reduce the motor strength, let me know.
Sweet news as I have both G9 and Weebil S. so excited try connecting the G9 and S.
Awesome! Always great to meet someone else using the G9. Not a really popular camera and totally underrated in comparison to the GH5 and GH5s. =)
Thank you for this. I order now mine
Amazing tutorial, thanks so much!!
thank you so much. I appreciate your help.
Hi im using a 16.35mm 1.8 sigma lens and im finding it really hard to get it balanced because the eye piece keeps hitting the back bit when trying to flip it upwards what can i do?
very good and detailed video - thank you
You're such a life saver!!
Did you have Ibis or lens stabilasation turned on when testing? Got mine since a week but roll axis shakes a little while walking. Lumix g9 / leica 12-60 greetings!
My Weebill-S, which I received an hour ago here in the UK, actually has a USB C socket!!! I am about to use the micro USB to USB C cable with the right-angled micro-plug in my G9 and the C end in the Weebill-S. Wish me luck...
Edit: I just discovered the second (micro) usb plug in the Weebill-S. Directly behind the USC C socket which faces front. So, it IS micro usb to micro usb!
It's work for my Lumix G9, thanks!! I don't understand the dislikes!!!!!👍👍👍👍
You’re welcome! 😀
Dam after so much search finally a detailed tutorial for begginers
so far I saw only your video on how to set up WEEBILL-S in details very thanks
Best video ty
This was very interesting... Have Control of your Camera is so important and needed... I Love the design!
good for all
Thanks a lot. How to use this little thing had been a great problem for me before I came across your excellent explanation.
nice work bro! These videos are great!
Thanks!
Thanks for this video.. best among the videos to set up weebill S..
Extremely helpful 🙏
Superp instructions video to start using the zhiyan S... 👍👍👏👏👏👏🙌
Thank you for this great and informative video. Im getting mine next week. So this was a great help. will watch it again when it lands!
Cheers buddy!
You’re welcome and congrats on your new gimbal!
mate it was very very helpful ,cheers and good luck
Thanks for your valuable tutorial sir❤️..
I have Canon EOS 700D and camera cannot with Micro-usb. I must to buy HDMI cable?
Thanks for this video ! But how did you do that with the g9, although it’s not in the compatibility list ? (I’m interesting for my g90-95)
Nice video! Nice gymbal! I must buy this! 👌
Great video. Looked at a bunch of others that don’t show it step by step like you do. Got my brand new Weebill S to operate with XT-3. Now I want a Weebill firmware upgrade to support the Fuji!! Looking now for a video on the menu structure of the Weebill.
Good camera the xt-3. I wanted to get that but ended up trying out the x-a7 instead. Not sure what referring to about the Weebill-S menu structure but i have done a video on navigating the menu on the Weebil-S. Here ruclips.net/video/qEEKYwMGmNo/видео.html
Nice video, how do I sync my phone to control the movement of the gimbal as you did in the beginning of this video? Thanks
Thank youuuuuuu
So thorough
Better than the official tutorial
I have a SONY A77 I was wondering what is the cord used for exactly
You are a hero!! Lol!! I couldn’t have done it without you!! Thank you!!
Helpful video, thank you :)
Great tutorial
Nice video! Do you know if the video wireless imagine transmission is compatible with the SONY A6400 (by selecting ccs camera)?
Thanks so much! Very informative! The official tutorial was pathetic in that it assumed I already knew how most components worked but you took the time to really go step by step which I appreciated
You’re welcome!
Haha that’s how I ended up here ... someone posted a link on the comments to check out this video bc the other one was awful
i know Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can give me.
@Peter Landyn Instablaster =)
@Payton Nova i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks! I checked a couple tutorials and none explained how to setup the quick release plate!
Any advice when getting the power is insufficient and power not supported error? Setting up the lumix G9 and balancing as described?
Extreme thAnks brother!!! Extreme. God bless u
Thanks for the helpful video. Has anyone seen a tutorial for the Sony A7s? It seems to connect but when I hit the record button on the Weebill S, nothing happens. Thanks
I'm using a g85 with a small lens. Do you suggest I still make the plate flush with the back of the camera? Cuz there is a lot sticking out in the front and also, I don't need the lens support which is odd cuz the lens is so small
Hey there! Yeah that setup is pretty small so you dont have to flush it. Just position it where the lens support is giving good support to the lens.
I would like to ask only one question. Why would my Weebill S gimbal rolls a little bit when i am panning when using Pan Follow mode.
My setup is 6d mark ii + 50mm f1.8 stm and plus its perfectly balanced. But still happens everytime
This video was very helpful thank you so much for taking the time to make it one question when you were walking with the gimbal and I heard your footsteps why was it bouncing up and down do you need to do the “ninja walk “to stabilize it so there won’t be any walking motion?
You’re welcome! Yeah doing the ninja walk will definitely help to reduce the bouncing 😂. Just didnt want to look strange to people walking around.
Hi what cable will i need to use to connect a lumix g7 with weebill s?
One gimbal to choose, Ronis Sc or weebill S ? What you will pick ?
whaaat?! My weebil can be connected to my phone? This is insane. I look forward to learning more.
Great Video, thank you! Is there any chance to use my Panasonic GH3 with this gimbal? Thanx for your help!
does it support a73 with 24-105 ? pls can u test n show ?
Awesome bro :) Thankyou for taking the time to do this vlog. I just got my Weebill S, I got it for my G9 :). Sold my DJI Ronin S.
What is do the different motor settings do?
Great! Thank You.
Hey there, thanks for your time and help - here is what I am finding... - so my understanding is that it does not control ISO/AV/TV like the weebill lab does. I have been in communication with Zhiyun about this... such a shame that this would not be the case but it was with it's predessor. If you find something different please let me know. I am using sonyA7III with micro to multi cable as well as making sure that the sony is enable on the grip under the menu system!
Yes correct! Yeah it does work on Canon and Panasonic but Sony not yet. Maybe in future firmware updates we will be able to control the aperture and shutter speed etc.
I like when people do they tutorial so well like you! Thanks to you I was able to set w to perfection my Weebill S.
Can the weebill lab do those gestures at the beginning of this video
Great to see your going to balance a Z6 - thanks.
Yeah i will get my hands on the Z6 next week so stay tuned!
thanks mate.
You’re welcome!
Hello, please, can use it with Panasonic Lumix FZ82 camera?
Thank you!!!
DO we have to always use cable to connect between the gimbal and camera? Can we use it without cable?
Thank you for sharing this review with us, it is very helpful. I have a problem, hopefully you can help me or somebody that encountered this problem as well. My video equipment is a: Gh4 + Sigma 16mm F1.4 MFT... in the package of the Zhiyun I didn't find a compatible cable for my camera. I'm very sad because now I don't know how to connect the gimbal to my camera... Do you know a way to do it? I would appreciate a lot your help
great tutorial brother,,,
can i use bmpcc 4k with sigma 18-35 1.8 with this gimbal????
Will this work for the lumix g7 ?
That is very nice footage. but I have questions for crane 3 lab , can you tell me little bit it or if you know anything about ? I will take your Advice for it . I have a 1dx Mark II , I don’t know if the camera controller cables connections are comparable for it . I saw most people used small cameras and the cables is very small for the connections. Thank you very much
I couldn't find information as to whether or not the Webill-S works with the G95 and it's not on the compatibility list. Any info on this?
Is it possible to use the HDMI output (monitoring), the screen on the Panasonic G9 (also monitoring) and the usb thether function (control with the Weebill) simultaneously?
I tried it, but as soon as I plugged in the HDMI cable, the screen on my G9 turned blacked, although I could control all possible functions with the Weebill S knobs. It would be great to use the Gimbal with two screens (one external monitor and the screen on the G9 >> it already works fine without the usb connection to the weebill). Thank you for your help :D
thank you sir
You're welcome!
Hello ! Great video :) I need your help : I've got a panasonic lumix gx9 and it seems impossible to connect it with the zhiyun weebill s.. Can you confirm that? :(
Hello,
What firmware did you have in weebill s when you connected the olympus E-M1 MK2?
With latest firmware 1.99 they don´t work togheter.
//Micke
Thanks for the explanations ! Can you make a video explaining auto tracking in selfie mode with Panasonic Lumix S5 if possible?
What about the fz2500 is it compatible? And weebil s got a joystick??
I have a a Panasonic G90 UK model, and I don't have PC tether mode in USB connection. Any way to control the camera from the gimbal? I tried with the micro USB - micro USB cable. thanks
Hmm the arrow on mine points toward the back - is that suppose to be the front of the camera?
