After seeing your Instagram story with the new Weebill S on it, I decide to wait for your review. And I just bought the new weebill today without any hesitation. Thanks for your down to earth review and answering all the major questions very clearly in your review. Especially the size and portability comparison. I am a crop sensor Mirrorless camera user (GH5 And XT3) and portability is my top priority without compromising the stability. My first impression with this gimbal it is really, really portable. Million thanks for great reviews.
7:54, I think that the 24mm GM does not have OSS, the caption probably referes to IBIS instead as you have stated? The footage is still incredibly smooth though, how do you walk so smoothly? :) I will probably get the 16-35 F4 as it has OSS for additional stabilization and I mostly need it for video and the range. Have you had a change to test an OSS Sony lens on some of the gimbals? Thank you.
I have Sony 7C, is it possible to make at least REC button to work on this gimbal? I tried everything., changed it to Panasonic in settings like some ppl recommend , updated firmware, thinking to return it as this thing is useless with my camera it seems.
I liked this video before it even started. That's how much I wanted to see you review this haha. Sadly not much time to watch youtube videos these days but.... I'll catch up to your videos
When using the 8-18mm on the GH5 with this gimbal, do you still get the "whobble" caused by the IBIS? In other words, should I turn IBIS off when using this combo?
is it possible to shoot the photo with Weebill S + Sony (per example A7R2) camera? I cannot see the photo mode on the menu. Would it be possible with transmitter module and ZY Play app?
Correct me if I'm wrong but that means that Sony cameras cannot be remotely controlled on 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?
Yes, but the gimbal remote control is generally very overrated feature anyways. It is much more pleasant to just use the controls on the camera without any hanging cables.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks for the reply! However, that is very unfortunate - I decided to get a lens with the smooth power zoom, specifically to be able to take more creative shots... Without the control on the gimbal, the lens would have to stay a constant zoom - probably the widest one. Is this how everyone is using gimbals? (I'm new to this)
Zooming in video is considered to be the opposite of creativity nowadays, to be honest... that belongs to home videos from the 90´s. Take a look at some videos about creative gimbals shoots. Power zoom is definitely not required for that.
@@TheHybridShooter I'm not sure I can agree on this one... Different zooming techniques have always been used in cinema ruclips.net/video/AIlPrM3EU4Q/видео.html
can you put a 5inch monitor on top of the Sony A73?.... and at 4:17 of that building, it seems to be slightly jittery, would this be the gimbal or using slow motion or some other effect causing it?
Ciao, the video is very helpfull thanks fo sharing. Just one question, I'm about to buy one zhiyun crane plus v2 upgrade version but after this video I'm pretty confused. Which one is the best for you? I use a Sony a 6400
I sold my $600 weebill lab for $200 bucks to get this weebill S. I bought it a week or two ago, but I’ve been out of town a lot, so I haven’t been able to use it yet. But knowing that it’s so much sturdier that the Lab makes me excited to use it and film again. I use the a7iii with the Tamron 28-75 mostly and in the weebill lab it wasn’t good at all. Very twitchy, so excited to see what how the S performs. Great review!
Than you for great review , I really enjoyed and it was really informative. I shoot villas and yachts on Mallorca and It's really good to watch you making reviews from my home town . Keep up great work ... Cau
Very very useful video and thank you for that. I make my question in 2022, cause now I need a gimbal for my sony a7iii. Can this gimbal handle a7iii with sony 24-105 f/4 or this setup is too heavy??? Thanks in advance.
Ako je to s hlukom u motorov, je gimbál hlučný?? Ak by som natáčal aj zvuk v tichom prostredí ....napríklad kostol, bolo by počuť zvuk motorov v mikrofónoch ??
I watched your video on the Panasonic G 95, very informative. I have never used a gimbal, but would like to buy the Zhiyun Weebill S, and use it with the Panasonic G 95. Is there any problem with using this combination? Thanks for all the information you provide with the excellent videos you make. Really great information.
Yes, it is the best choice, although M50 has no IBIS, so the the results won't be as good as with Sony. LAB is not enough for camera without IBIS.

So you can't use in body stabilization with the included cord with a Sony camera? Does this also mean that you can't use the focus wheel with Sony cameras?
Focusing is not related to that. The focus wheel only works with additional follow focus motor. You are better off using AF if you have newer Sony camera.
Thank you, I appreciate your subscription! I will try to do that in the future, but it is difficult to test everything in relatively short amount of time.
Hi, I have one question, I am currently using Sony A7R IV and Tamron 28-75mm f2.8, and when I connect to the gimbal, it shows that I am connected, but I just could not see any settings I can adjust. Is it because of the lens? I also tried with different camera manufacturer setting in the gimbal, but only sony works, it just didn't show settings can be adjusted on the screen of the gimbal, please let me know if you know how to solve this problem, thank you
You can try turning on the gimbal first or the camera first, it is also possible that A7R IV is not supposed yet. My general advice is to forget about remote control (with any gimbal), especially with Sony as I have explained in the video.
@@TheHybridShooter I too have same problem but with Sony A7iii and 16-35 Gmaster lens, can't get it to show camera settings on gimbal, so infuriating 😂
Thank you! My advice is to forget about those features on any gimbal. Using buttons on the camera is more convenient. Tracking is more of party-trick rather than a useful feature.
Thanks for the great review! So does it mean the Record button on the gimbal doesn’t work on a Sony camera? Also I found that my ZY Play app isn’t doing anything after connected to my gimbal - it’s connected but not communicating whatsoever 😅 not sure if I’m doing this right!
You're welcome! Record button works when you connect the camera with cable, but it disables image stabilization in camera / lens. ZY play app is not always reliable, there can be various issues.
The Hybrid Shooter Ah! Understood now! Sorry one more question - so is the app only usable when the camera is connected to the gimbal with a cable? Coz the cable seems to be doing nothing now in term of connecting the two devices tgt, so I’m thinking that’s why the app is not sending out command properly 🤔 if that makes sense Thanks again in advance!
Thanks so much for great review. Does ZY Play app require the Image Transmission Module to do Panorama, Timelapse, Motionlapse, and Long Exposure Timelapse or is it able to do these without it.
Thank you for the great video. Do you think the Weebil S will be smooth enough for Sony A71( no IBIS ) plus Rokinon 20 mm cine( no IS )? The Rokinon is manual focus - will it work well with Zhiyun manual focus controller?
Thank you so much for the great review , but for me i have the same camera Sony A7iii , i am not able to change the ISO , and the other things from the gimbal , even though i am connecting the corect cable , i can only snap a photo , and start a video ,, any tips ? :)
Unfortunately, my only tip is to forget about the remote control on any gimbal, if you use Sony. It is not reliable and it disables OSS in camera, so it is not worth using IMO.
I don't know, I would definitely take off the battery grip from X-T3 if you want to use it on a gimbal with heavy lens. It would definitely work without the grip.
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.
I'm having troubles connecting the weebill s to the a7s3. Can't get the recording buttons, iso and aperture working from the gimbal. Anyone can help about that?
@@stormrida68 Zhiyun can't do anything about it, it is Sony's fault. Remote control would also disable IBIS, so as I wrote, I recommend to forget about it altogether.
Nice video as always, could you just confirm that you can still control the record on Sony A7 cameras W/O setiing up the PC remote mode that takes ages to connect? I think I will be giving a try as my second gimbal for traveling
Webbill is better gimbal overall, I miss parameter settings a lot on AK2000, so for me it would be worth replacing it, but it depends on how you use it.
Thank you for this! Do you (or anyone else here) know if you can use it with another (not long) Arca plate, or is it just the one which comes with it? Thanks!

You need to ask Zhiyun, not me.
@@TheHybridShooter ups. you're right, the subjects are confused
If I'm not mistaken this gimbal was shown in Sony's a7c product video. That can be considered an endorsement by Sony.
I don't see anything wrong with that...
Is there advantage to mounting XT 3 with or without the battery grip? How would you personally use it?
The main advantage is the battery life. I would use it without a grip on a gimbal, but it is a matter of preference.
I have used this with Canon 5D iV 24-105 lens for my last work
very good stabilization and feel light weight
Superb must have
do you have any footage uploaded where I could see this setup in action?
Looks like the gimbal is shaking noticeably at 2:20. Was it a balance issue?
No, as I have said, that is auto adjusting feature which shakes the camera to set the correct payload setting.

It is more than sufficient for 100D and it is better than Ronin SC.
@@TheHybridShooter Thank you ! I love your content
Is it possible this would work with the battery grip used on the a7riii or a9 with the same grip.
Thanks and Merry Christmas
Unfortunately, I am not able to test that, sorry. Marry Christmas to you too!
did you test it with the a6400 and a 16mm Sigma Lense?
Unfortunately not.
I don't know what your biceps routine is, but it seems that you're doing it right
Thank you!
I just got this, should I balance this at 50 mm for the Tameron 28-75 and a A7III?
You should always balance with the lens extended as you will use it.
I'm having troubles connecting the weebill s to the a7s3. Can't get the recording buttons, iso and aperture working from the gimbal. Anyone can help about that?
That doesn't work with Sony. My best advice is to forget the connection (with any gimbal) and just controls on the camera.
@@TheHybridShooter I have no choice but to use it that way for now, I still sent an email to Zhiyun Support to ask for a firmware update
@@stormrida68 Zhiyun can't do anything about it, it is Sony's fault. Remote control would also disable IBIS, so as I wrote, I recommend to forget about it altogether.
Excellent review. Cheers!
Nice video as always, could you just confirm that you can still control the record on Sony A7 cameras W/O setiing up the PC remote mode that takes ages to connect? I think I will be giving a try as my second gimbal for traveling
It has to be set to PC remote on every gimbal. I recommend just not using remote control with Sony cameras.
I have Feiyu AK2000, it it worth replacing mine with this?
Webbill is better gimbal overall, I miss parameter settings a lot on AK2000, so for me it would be worth replacing it, but it depends on how you use it.
can you power the camera via one of the USB-C outputs ? (there are two right?) thanks !
Yes, you can.
@@TheHybridShooter as, a BMPCC4K?
@@victorblondel1902 It can charge it, but I don't recommend that, that will drain the batteries very fast.
Does S1H balance?
Unfortunately, I am not able to test that.
can I use canon 7d + 35/50mm prime lens with weebil S?
yes
@@TheHybridShooter thanks for confirming. However, can it take a long lens with canon 7d?
@@cheng296 Depends on what do you mean by long lens.
@@TheHybridShooter , say a 70 - 300mm telephoto or 24-70 zoom lens?
Using 70-300 on a gimbal doesn't make much sense, for 24-70 F2.8 I would choose something bigger, F4 is ok.
What happens when the Tamron is extended to 75mm?
It would be ideal to rebalance the gimbal, although it will work unbalanced.
Thank you for this! Do you (or anyone else here) know if you can use it with another (not long) Arca plate, or is it just the one which comes with it? Thanks!
You’re welcome, you can only use the plate that comes with gimbal.
Is it wide enough?
Hey guys I am shooting on a Nikon D5300, is there a reason this will not work with my camera?
It will work.
@@TheHybridShooter Thanks! Looking forward to it! :) Thanks for the review!
Great review. Congrats!
Thank you!
Oh, arca swiss plate compatible with this gimbal? If so, that is good.
Only the one that is included. You can get adapter if you want to use other arca plates.
The Hybrid Shooter do you have a link to the adapter for arca Swiss plate? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the concise review. Very helpful!
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
