LOL people out here complaining about the micro shakes with the test footages definitely have not used a gimbal before. The vertical movement is something that NO gimbal today can stabilize. Atleast Jeven was honest about not introducing additional stabilization in post and showed you how stable the footage you'll get under normal conditions. Other youtubers out there who show you buttery smooth shots with this same/similar gimbal is either just standing in place,or learned the ninja walk,or in a moving platform like a skateboard,or most likely added warp stabilization in post. Guys,please be realistic with your expectations about gimbals;Sure,gimbals will give you smooth shots way better than handheld but still won't come close to what a slider, or a dolly would ever deliver. For now,anyway.
Love my S so far! Another cool thing I’ve discovered is that handle is super useful. I’ve started using it as a straight up alternate handle for my camera that I screw into the bottom directly for either hand held shots where I don’t care as much about stability or to get stationary shots super low to the ground that I no longer need a gorilla pod or tripod to be able to do. Stick a phone mount on top of it and now you can do all of the above with your phone and that handle too!
After getting my hands on this to shoot with Jeven for this video, and doing a TON more research on what would work well with my Canon EOS R and lens setup (I prefer a fairly heavy 24-70 f/2.8 for my wide stuff), I pulled the trigger and bought my own. I'm quite happy with it so far and love how portable it is and easy to balance for a gimbal newbie like myself.
Hey man, I'm new to these and looking for a gimbal. I know that this is smaller than say ronin, but the app is not as good. How is it without using the app?
Cons29 I think you’ll get a smal amount of jitter with any small handheld gimbal in this class. But the more you shoot with it, the better accustomed you get to using it to provide great smooth footage.
Some videos I've watched of this gimbal it looks incredible, on others it looks jittery. This one was jittery! I've seen it working great with GH5 Sigma 18-35!
Would this travel well inside a camera bag? I would not be able to carry both the case and my camera bag onto flights, so I would need to be able to pack it with my other gear. Thanks for the great video!
The footage looks jittery. I think the motors are having trouble keeping up with the size and/or weight of that 10-25. Either that or it's not been balanced properly.
Great video. With the single transmitter and gimbal can you get live video viewing and camera control (LANC and PTR) all on same phone screen? It looked separated in the video. Thanks.
Jeven, I've built an entire studio watching you this year. My first bummer was watching this. I bought the Weebill and the quick connect. Like my usual geek, I bought 2 quick connects, maybe to use on my Crane V2. Duh, it takes 2 quick connect male ends and 1 female end to set up the handle like you did. You might want to mention details like that when you have them. It would be helpful.
Hi, Very cool video. Weebill S still leaves much to be desired when it comes to stability. All this time the image is rocking and swaying. Still, he really lacks much for proper stabilization. So, in terms of stability, little has changed as you can see. It is a pity because the construction is interesting. However, it seems to me that it will not be accepted. I have friends who have Zhiyun Weebill (first version) and when they compare the quality of shots with Ronin S or Ronin SC they drop their jaws for surprise that it can be done at all. Compared to Ronin SC, Weebill appears to be damaged. This is not a good stabilization ... I have watched some movies (except sponsored from Zhiyun) and it is still the same problem as you can see. It's a bit better but it's still poor stabilization.
5:08 the af was just unreliable. It's the reason why I sold my gh5. But I bought the gh5s' instead which has better af and combined with this gimbal, it's perfect
Thanks for the information Jeven! I have a Sony A6400 and want to run and gun with my Sigma 16mm. I am buying this via your link. Appreciate all of the info!
Nice review. Thanks for some usefull insights. Important for me was the info about the setup with the GH5. I am using a A2k and it doesn't fit my GH5 very well. Also, I like the possible carrying modes with two hands in different layers/levels on the gimbal - think this offers more smooth handling. One open question please: how is the latency in the transmission of the gimbal app? Thanks, and keep creating.
Thank u very much boss I was looking for a video like this to get all functions all r making short video that how it’s working I have one question remaining boss the FN button what is the use of that go mode
I think if you're just starting out you should shoot handheld or with a tripod first. When you feel like you're starting to become limited then you can upgrade :)
Thanks for your review. Do you know if there is a way to program a routine so the gimbal would follow exactly the same rotation sequence whenever you start it? like a glambot but obviously only doing rotations.
Hey how do you use your phone as an external monitor? I just got the Weebill S and a Sonya7sii. I don't have the image transmission module but I can't find it for sale anywhere. Is there anyway to use my phone as a monitor right now? Also I just uploaded my first travel video about brazil if anyone wants to check it out and give feedback!!
Jeven, between weebill S and Lab 3, which one would you choose in terms of performance not considering the size of it? The huge difference seems to be the wireless which allows to remotely control the camera itself? Does it control follow focus when your shooting with manual focus? That’s makes a lot of questions hehe. Cheers and thanks for the content :))
could I mount an iPhone onto this? I have an iPhone XS Max + Moment lenses and it's just too big and too much weight for all smartphone gimbals. I have a Fujifilm XT3 also so would use it for both.. Thanks!
So if I could get the Robin S with the discount for blackfriday plus a 10% student discount which will make it the same price as the wheebel S would it then make sense to buy the Robin or the wheebel S as it's a bit lighter ( I do shoot a DSLR ,t7i) also the wheebel has axis locks !! Idk now any ideas
Hi had the original weebill lasted for three weeks then the locking axis stooped working returned it for the ronin .The ronin build quality is a league above the cheap plastic weebil with bad software.
Thanks for this. I'm still on the fence between getting this, Ronin S and the Feiyutech AK2000. What do y'all think? I want to use them mostly for filmmaking and music videos; but, I have a light setup(GH5 w/prime lenses). Thanks again.
can anyone help me this problem i got... i just got the zhiyun weebil S and i'm using it with XT3 and 35mm F.14 and i got some shaky footage. please tell how to slove this problem thanks you so much
Hi Jeven - great video as always. If you had to choose a gimbal that is say ONE step better than the Weebill S, what would you suggest?. I suppose I'm looking for an answer that compares price vs stability ... thanks as always :)
Thank you very much for informative review! I got from it a lot of new information which was missing in other reviews, especially about app functionality. There is one thing which I would like to know but there is no one seems to be trying it in reviews. Can I use this gimbal with a mic on the top of the camera? I have quite big mics. I wonder will it be possible balance the weebill s with rode stereo video mic x mounted on it, or if there is any other reasonable place to attach a mic.
Hey man. Did you figure this question out yet? I am hoping to buy 1 good unit that will balance a smart phone and a small mirrorless camera under $ 2500aud Do a gimbal like this weebil exist for both. There is little info on this solution. So i am thinking it might not. Please reach out if you know a better gimbal to ho with.?
@@CellarPlusEquip I didn't get a reply on this, in the end I bought a separate one just for phone, a Moza Mini S. Havent got the camera gimbal yet as what I was going to do has changed now.
Check out more info about the Weebill S: geni.us/weebillS
Jeven great video. Where can you find those mounts to easily switch the handle without unscrewing it??
Hi. Where can I find the Quick release for the hand grip? Thank youfor the video.
@@JamieHines @Diskomehl have you guys found them yet? ;-) just google or search on amazon for: Zhiyun Quick Setup Kit with 1/4" Screw

Cons29 I don’t even use the app (at least so far) to be completely honest. So for me that was a non-factor.
@@JeffStrawBranding have you experienced any, what's the term, jittery?
Cons29 I think you’ll get a smal amount of jitter with any small handheld gimbal in this class. But the more you shoot with it, the better accustomed you get to using it to provide great smooth footage.
Jeff Straw Branding I guess you’re right, as long as it’s not an annoying jitter
Ordering this this week! I'm super excited!
OMG. That quick release is more impressive than that gimbal to me. I am going to get several of them (if they are strong, quick, and reliable).
Some videos I've watched of this gimbal it looks incredible, on others it looks jittery. This one was jittery! I've seen it working great with GH5 Sigma 18-35!
Where is it jittery. I don’t see the same video than you.
As someone who owns this gimbal, I can confirm it'll deliver shaky footage.
Is it me, or most of the footage is shaky?
No ..its a post edit feature.
Hello thanks for the explanations! Can you make a video explaining the function of your Tracking with the Panasonic Lumix S5,please?!
Awesome video bro. Much better explanation and presentation on the new gimbal. Love your channel too 🙌🏼👍🏻
Great review! I loved how you show how you use the gimbal along with the final shot. That helps a lot amateurs like me. Keep the great work!
LOVE THE EXTRA EFFORT put into the full chicken head gimbal shot when showing the underslung mode. Love ya work brother! thank you.

Great video. And I LOVE this gimbal. So awesome to use. Thanks for sharing.
I'm in search of gimbal and you just convinced me to order this one.
My Weebill S will be here today! Can't wait.
Where did you get those giant quick releases from? Can you put the link here?
Very well together. Thanks. I have a 7iii. What is the max lens weight I can go with.

Nice effect at 4:35 like the Beats Advertisement.
👍👍 are this gimple used with canonn 750 D
So far my test with the Weebill-S and the Panasonic Lumix S1 with the 24- 105mm f4 are going well.
Very well explained
Hi, great video. is this gimbal compatible with the Nikon D7500?
Will this hold a Panasonic FZ2500?
Just ordered mine. I also have the Crane 2...but this is so much smaller.
Link to the Quick Releases that you use?
I'm going to buy this, thanks Jeven🍻
hye...can i know the wireless video transmitter model please ?
Someday my friends...someday. Right now my budget says lens before Gimbal. 🐼👍🏽
Ha exactly what I did my guy

This is sick right now I have the crane plus but was thinking of getting something lighter ! Thanks for this video bro !

Hi Jeven…Can the Transmiter from Weebill 2 on Weebill S also be used?
Thanks Jeven, learning a lot. I am a beginner, do I need to get one of these?
I think if you're just starting out you should shoot handheld or with a tripod first. When you feel like you're starting to become limited then you can upgrade :)
@@exactleepro Thanks
Hey jeven, I have the weebil lab and the Sony ax43. Can you tell me why all gimbals are made for picture cameras and none for camcorders?
How do this Gimbal work with the Canon M50 ?
Nice plan to get one
Will it worked with cnon 5d mark iv + Canon 24-105 lens
Is there a way to lock all the buttons? It seems to me I could really easily press something while holding that small handle.
Yes there is, seen it on other video's.
Hey question will this gemble support a panasonic g7 mirrorless camera and a sigma 18-35 lens or is that to heavy, and will a crane 3 be better
Nice review! I have a specific question, for the same price do you think I should get two tripods or one with two quick release plates?
Another great review Jeven!
Will it work with 18-35 ?
Did you have the ibis in your camera on or off
Off
What that technique used at 4:30.
Like some sort of tracking?
Simple Key Framing :)
Hi Jeven, Any chance you can do a video how to put Canon EOS R with Ef 24-70 f2.8. I’m having problem with viewfinder touch the gimbal. :( thank you
Does this have a subject tracking mode? Like what DJI SC has? Follows and lock on the subject?
Hi Jeven! I might have missed it but could you guide me to a link to purchase the 2 rounded quick release plate you mentioned?
Looking to invest in a second hand one ..Will this still be ok fin 2023 for a newbie?
Great video.. How does it work out with the Sony a7iii
What watch is Jeff wearing? Looks cool!
Rudy van Os Thanks! It’s from the Lucky Brand jeans store.
Does it support sony a73 with 24 - 105 ? Pls csn u make a video

Do I have to get the 1080P wireless transmitter separately??
At present it's not compatible with nikon d5500 with 18-140 lens.... any update of software gor this camera?
cinematic setting please
Hi Jeven, is it compatible with Nikon D3500? Thank you in advance:)
Hi had the original weebill lasted for three weeks then the locking axis stooped working returned it for the ronin .The ronin build quality is a league above the cheap plastic weebil with bad software.
hi
Can i Use canon 6D mark 2 along with 24-105 lens (kit lens) on it ? please replay me
Can it be worked in Nikon camera,just like Nikon D500.
awesome footage shot
Do you prefer this or the ak 4500 if you could only choose 1?
I don’t what to get, the Weebill S or the Ronin Sc. Great review, after seeing this video I’m leaning towards Weebill.
Each have their good features but I do like the Weebill S. It works well and I like the back handle
Woah, what did you do at 4:00? Was that a new Pr feature?
It’s a plug-in for FCPX

Weebill lab works great for small cameras but if you have a bigger setup then the S is the way to go

Not sure. Go on their website and it will give you specific weights
HI ...and for follow focus? thanks :)
Man just bought the AK4500 feiyuTech, on your recommendation. Which seems good, but is bigger. Happy with it but how does it compare?
So if your outdoor and do not have Wi Fi available for the transmitter, does it become a useless tool?
No it just uses a WiFi signal to transmit the video. You connect to the gimbals hotspot
