BEST Settings For SMOOTH & STABLE Footage - Zhiyun Weebill S Gimbal

[@gottashoot657]

Don't want to hate on an old video on a good channel, but I was fiddling with my Weebill S settings today after pretty much leaving them alone for a couple years and I discovered two main things that make it much more forgiving to use. The first is that smoothness should not be set at 200, but 50 instead--the numbers are misleading and my tests showed that 50 eases into starting and stopping the motors much better. The second is that the pan follow speed should be low--mine is set to 15 right now--which really helps to avoid jerky turns or orbits that I could never seem to avoid. Hope that helps someone else out there.

[@zaldabus]

For clarification, when you say a smoothness setting of 50 eases better, do you mean it’s more responsive and thus more suited to the needs of the type of shooting you’re trying to do?

[@gottashoot657]

@@zaldabus Technically I'd say it's less responsive or rather less sensitive, so if you screw up with your hands, it can smooth that out. Basically it helps to cover up the mistakes of the person using it better.

OMG 😱 IM BLOWN AWAY! YOU SAVE ME FROM RETURNING THIS GIMBAL. I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO QUIT AND SEND IT BACK THEEEEN THIS VIDEO CAME ACROSS!!! GENIUS, THIS IS AWESOME. I DID EVERYTHING EXACTLY HOW YOU EXPLAINED AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING 100% UNLIKE BEFORE, WOOOW THANKS A WHOLE BUNCH FOR THIS GREAT TUTORIAL. WORKED PERFECTLY ON MY CANON EOS R AND 24-105 RF USM LENSE. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@mykytarusakov8214]

I was about to be returning the gimbal too! I need some quick settings to test out tomorrow. Will try this. Any advice on balancing a very light camera (a6400) with a very heavy lens (24-70 Sigma 2.8). I have this lens for the weekend (cheaper rent) and really wanted to do some cool shots with it... But can't seem to figure out how to balance. Any advice will be massively appreciated

[@teeaymusik9811]

@@mykytarusakov8214 Dude it works great with those settings, best gimbal ever

[@Mr_Kenneth]

Used 20 for pan and tilt - hey presto - no more buzzing on my canon 90d ! You sir are a rockstar!

[@angelogabriel3342]

Best tutorial on KZbin, hands down! Very informative and good speech rate so that we could follow along. Loved that you began with the basics as well and didn't expect your audience to know all the terms right off the bat! Thank you!

[@austinlopez5314]

Dude seriously, thank you so much! The difference in performance was instantly noticeable and has drastically improved my morale 😄

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Glad it helped!

[@marcpeterson__]

Same! 😅

[@MartinFransson]

Will have to try these settings! I have problems with jerky motion when starting to pan.

[@discusstomorrow]

Awesome video for new gimbal users. Teaches crucial information other gimbal guides don't mention. We had some issues with very shaky footage, which was caused by the auto calibration that put the deadband values for the tilt and roll axes too low. If it weren't for you, we might've returned the gimbal thinking there was something wrong with it, thank you!

[@poki357]

This is my first gimbal and when I used it out of the box, I was thinking I was doing something wrong. I followed your settings and NOW I'm amazed what a gimbal can do! THANK YOU!!!

[@thetreatmentvisuals]

So I was having vibrating issues and I tried searching for answers and couldn't find anything but you just solved my problem!!!!

[@manny5253]

Same

[@jokcoustou]

I only have jitter issues when the camera is not balanced in one axis or another. .. essential step .. with the gimbal off you should be able to point the camera in a random direction and it should hold its position.. if it swings down or to another direction .. it's not perfectly balanced.

[@WeRro02]

I've been watching several videos from you, and the thing that i most appreciate, is the way you talk to the camera. So clear, slow for better comprehension but not thaaat slow. And the way you gesticulate. I'm from Mexico, and i understand english, but you help a lot cause you are sooooo clear on your explanations. Congrats for that. And of course, the info is so great! Thanks! And congrats again.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Thanks so much for the kind comment!

[@themcguirevlog]

I've been searching for "how to set up my new weebill S gimbal" all day. To be honest I got frustrated. I turned off my laptop and went to the creek with my family. When we got home I opened KZbin and walaaaahhhh.... I found your channel. Thank God! You explained everything clearly and slowly. Thank you so much!!!

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Great to hear!

[@arranpbrown]

Thank you for this video! I didn't realise that the smoothness setting went up to 200 - now the gimbal moves far smoother.

[@flochfitness]

The best part is now I know what all of these different settings mean. Well done!!!

[@ArtodiPro]

thanks for the video, very helpfull 🔥

[@Sub2me112]

I’m crying from happiness right now!!! (Not joking.) I’ve struggled to balance and set this thing up so bad (I’m a rookie to gimbals). You are absolutely amazing, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@doptimist]

Custom setting the motors made ALL the difference. I was being frustrated by the drift when using PF, bumping up all of the motors, especially ehe pan has solved it. Thanks!

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Glad it helped

[@doptimist]

@@MomentumProductions1992 I dont suppose you have ever run into the problem of the Weebil S not saving custom settings. I set, save them (its says "saving") and if I turn the gimbal off and on I have to set them again. Painful!

[@doptimist]

I just checked again... all the other settings save. Its just the custom motor settings that dont. That has to be a bug.

[@HeEllen-wu4ln]

@@doptimist You can try do the auto first then custom then save the setting.

[@leandro.pitote]

@@HeEllen-wu4ln It worked here! Thanks!

[@BackroomSoundCheck]

We were ready to send it back. We haven't figured it out but there is hope. Just gotta keep on playing with it. Your illustrations are top. Thank you a lot✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿

[@DopamineOverload]

Thanks for this great video. Do you have a battery bank under the plate, and if so, which one? Really nice, there

[@jerryalicea8897]

WOW...Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was having all sorts of minor rumblings with my motors and couldn't figure out what the hell was going wrong since nobody else had an in depth video on setting up these fine tuning options. Thank you for the excellent tutorial.

[@kashitokiba7490]

you are amazing. thanks alot gone through your instructions and it really works . keep guiding users . hatsoff to you

[@MomentumProductions1992]

[@user-js9tk6wr8v]

Thank you so much. My vibrate problem solved

[@ActionMediaProductions]

You're an excellent presenter and teacher, your calm delivery makes it easy to follow, without making the video feel slow and deadly. You've helped me several times. Question, can you make these adjustments in the app, or just on the control buttons on the Weebill S?

[@fanikurti2420]

Dude, i cant belive you put the gimbal and camera on a ball head. Thanks for the video

[@savannah1998J]

Thanks a lot! Couldn't find where the shaking problems came from but it was the motor as you said!

[@CherryandTrevor]

Thanks, my Weebill is arriving tomorrow!

[@DatrysiadMedia]

Thanks for this currently selling my Spark and all the gear I have for it to get this gimbal. Have a shoot coming, I'm working with a team on a short movie and I'm the only camera man lol. So I'm not using the spark and getting this. Thank you for the tips, used to have to play around alot with the Smooth 4 for the mobile to get it just where I liked it. I think the common issue is that people assume that gimbals just work out the box and boom cinema grade footage, it's a small piece in achieving that and still require a lot of skill to master. Keep up the good work, always like your content, always feels honest and always feels natural, nothing forced here for the sake of viewers entertainment. Have a great 2020

Hi, Great info to have. I’m guessing after doing custom settings that if I use the auto tune it will reset the custom settings?

[@DL-lt5ly]

Thank you it was very informative! I also had motor buzzing after the auto tune

[@bandofbros8112]

The deadband (at 20) for the pan is okay for straight walking shots, but if you want to orbit someone or something I would lower it to 5.

[@leandro.pitote]

Nice tip!

[@GerçeğiBul]

i use a7iii with sigma 35mm 1.4 prime my jitterless settings are; 10-20-47 if anyone uses the same setup, you can also try this settings

[@QualityClassics]

Thanks for this video man! I think those custom settings really solved my issue... we'll see.

[@GlowUrbanX]

Excellent video!! Thank you Big Man!

[@Berndkulow]

You are the youtube gimbal expert. I try to understand how gimbals are working. My question: If you turn on the locking mode, then all motors are locked. What kind of gimbal function remains or is it working then like for example a monopod?

[@Killernaut16]
