DJI RSC2 or Zhiyun Weebill 2 - Which Gimbal?

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Which one would you go for and why?

[@PaulFeinberg]

I like the way the Weebills Underslung mode is a little better. I like having that extra grip handle on the bottom. Both look great though. I am still rocking Weebill S, a gimbal is a gimbal. Not many features to upgrade to. LOL Great video.

[@Michael-uo1qv]

I have the Weebill S and have no reason to upgrade but think the RS-2 is the better gimbal based on this, not even considering savings between the two. Underslung mode seems like the only drawback for me in comparison. Seems clunky for when you need to switch on the fly.

[@kenduejones]

Weebill 2 💯

[@BootStrapTurnerVideography]

I went for the WeeBill 2 SE (special edition comes with cloth case and two tripods/handle grips). Saved several hundred during the holiday sales.

[@vijendrasingh9634]

used RSC 2 and the build quality is really poor of the plates and screw holes. They keep on losing and making the camera to shift position which results in camera finally falling to either side of the arm it's sitting on (Note: The Ronin app shows excellent in all 3 axis when put to balance test). Really disappointed.

[@everythingnice]

I bought a gimbal for 2 reasons, 1. Full Control - I tried both gimbals in a store and I found out that weebill 2 is much better in terms of control. The slung setup in weebill is precise in getting low-angle shots because of how you hold it, unlike the Ronin which my arms getting weary holding it because of how it was set up. 2. Easy to use - Both are very easy to use but with that screen in weebill, I can navigate to the setting much more quickly because I am using 2 different setups and on weebill I can really see which settings I'm in.

[@davey2516]

You're not the only one who thinks this way. Other reviewers also picks the RSC2 over the Weebill 2. And rightfully so.

[@christopherjordan8472]

Left handed here! And definitely the RSC2 is more comfortable to use.

[@KROMAprd]

Little tip when balancing that I think you missed here - it helps to lock the pan and roll axis when doing the initial balance of the tilt, then unlock each axis as you balance them (if that makes sense?) I have the RSC2 and I've been loving it ever since I bought it a few months back - loved the look of the Weebil 2 initially, but after hearing a lot of feedback from users, it sounds like I made the right choice with DJI. But as everyone says - generally they all perform the same job very well.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

agreed that locking can make it easier but after you've balanced gimbals a ton of times I don't personally find it necessary. Love em for travelling though!

[@louisfrantz8940]

That foldable design of the RSC2 comes in handy i see.

[@videozone092]

i just realised i keep coming back to your channel too often so why not subscribing then. now i know i pick the ronin. thanks!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Haha Thankyou!!

[@iwozzy]

Ah man! You’re the only one I’ve seen do a bag test! Thank you haha 🙏🏻 Does the RSC2 fit into the Lowepro while folded, just like you had it, but standing up? Instead of laying flat I mean

[@chrisbrockhurst]

haha glad you found that useful! I havnt tried it but at a guess its likely too large

[@yobs.]

i’ve been so conflicted about getting a gimbal. some people say “i got one and never use it” or others say “it’s a waste of money” etc etc. but i feel as if there are just certain shots out there that aren’t possible doing it handheld. like getting a sweeping shot around a subject, shots while on the move (running or in a moving vehicle), moving through a building very smoothly for real estate, etc. i also don’t know if spending the extra buck is worth it? like going for the ronin rs2 over the rsc2 :/ hmmm thoughts?

[@chrisbrockhurst]

gimbals have a time and place. Some shots are simply better looking with them but it entirely depends on the content your creating. In terms of RS2 or RSC2 it depends on the setup your using.. RSC2 will balance fairly heavy setups still

[@yobs.]

@@chrisbrockhurst Thank you for replying! Noted. My setup is a Sony A7iii with at least a Sigma 24-70mm lens! I think the rsc2 should be able to handle that load fairly well.

[@tru_yaadiii3342]

Gimbal for videos = best investment I can show you my work if you want something to support it with and without

[@ordinaryhuman3111]

The Briefcase mode is actually why i bought the RSC2

[@amapro2020]

Considering picking up a 2nd gimbal, definitely the rsc2

[@williamdemattos]

Which is more beautiful? DJI Which brand is most loved? DJI Which gimbal is really the easiest and most practical to work with? Weebill 2!. That's it.

[@Dennis_Lisitsyn]

Thank you for this video Chris! Was very helpful!

[@JanikaKocsis-xb1zb]

which one produces a finer movement? this is the most important thing for me. i own rsc2 but not satisfied with it.

[@mattbhenderson]

Hey CB , I want to use a transparent overlay like you use in this video at 0:29 for your titles text to stand out on. Where do you get these overlays from? Or do you just make them in Ae? Also did you use a motion GFX template for your text, if so where do you get your templates from? Thx

[@chrisbrockhurst]

hey! normally envato elements is where i get em

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Just add a black matte and reduce its opacity right down with the text on top. Then either use a crop with key frames to make it slide out or simply keyframe it to move left, right etc off the screen.

[@Libinkttm]

Which one is between Ronin RS C2 and Wheebil Crane 3 Lab .. my cameras are fujifilm XT-4 and Canon 5D Mark IV....which gimbal do you suggest?

[@VivaMediaInc]

We've only ever known and used DJI gimbals and we love them to death. We even did a video on how to balance the 6k Pro on the RS 2. But the Weebill isn't bad at all! Pretty nice gimbal honestly.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Theres so many out there these days, you really cant go wrong.

[@kenduejones]

Weebill s & weebill 2 are the best gimbles ever!💯

[@2424rocket]

But the most important question… Which one gives the smoother results? That’s the absolute most important question. You said they were both excellent but one has to be better than the other? Doesn’t it?

[@hborhuu]

weebill 2 is smoother than rsc2

[@2424rocket]

Thank you!

[@markshirley01]

Chris if money wasn't a consideration would you choose the RS2 over the RSC2. I watched Vu from Vu Films he was about to upgrade to the RS2.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

if money isnt an issue get the RS2

[@jonathanblanckaert]

There's an easier way to balance the pan axis btw. just hold the gimbal horizontal and then balance the arm parallel to the floor..

[@jamshidyunusov1193]

Can u show us how u change setup from fully gripped handheld to gimbal very fast?

[@matthewpaquette]

Great comparison!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Great modelling haha

[@PaulFeinberg]

Back to modeling work for videos I see LOL How much do you charge by the hour? Nice Cameo!

[@bobmusikk]

What about RS2 with small cam? Overkill? for 25% more money its not that much if its much better. Next, since its almost 2 years old and not in a hurry should I wait the next generation?

[@thearabicdp]

I own the Ronin S and it has no issues with heavy lenses, where it does have fits is when I use really light lenses. If I tune it, it does get better but it still shakes a little. Have you tried a really light lense on the DJI RSC 2?

[@chrisbrockhurst]

I tried both light and heavy setups with no issue at all.

[@thearabicdp]

@@chrisbrockhurst nice Chris, thanks 🦾

[@ojh666]

Super video!

[@RealEstateTorontoPhotography]

Great review Thank you !

[@chrisbrockhurst]

thanks for watching

[@RealEstateTorontoPhotography]

@@chrisbrockhurst Always pleasure !

[@jasonmeade9000]

I like the screen on the RSC2. Not too overwhelming and doesn't feel gimmicky. The large screen will only drain battery.

[@jonathanxdoe]

Why your test footage at regular speed are so "juddery"?

[@alexbusuioceanu]

I've used the Weebill 2 a couple of times and the screen already is scratched from the poor design. Also right now you can't assign the record button only to start / stop record, it also autofocuses. Compared to weebill S, the fact that you can't switch between ap, iso and shutter with the big wheel, is a downer. Also it sucks if you're left handed and want to use the joystick compared to Weebill S. Not to mention it's not as smooth in following movements, it jumps easily regardless of deadband settings. Battery is not as advertised, while the Weebill S would last me 3 days of intermitent shooting, Weebill 2 is at 40-50% after 1-2 hours of shooting on and off.

[@wvansluisveld3011]

I own the RSC2 and enjoy it. Dont see the need for a screen either. What i dont like about it is using the hinge for briefcase mode but that is easily solved with a smallrig handle. I also dont like that I cant use raveneye as my a7c is lacking a multiport. Furthermore when connected through pc remote also eye AF doesnt work so I am not using the gimbal controls to operate the camera. Guess this is more a sony issue. With these limitations in mind it still allows me take a lot of great family videos even if I look geeky to other parents.

[@GlassfilmWeddings]

dude why didnt you lock the ginbals other axis? its easier to balance each axis one at a time

[@chrisbrockhurst]

When you first get started balancing its easier, once you balanced gimbals a million times theres no need for it. Great tip though!

[@UWMania]

Can the rsc2 be balanced with the Sony a7siii and 70-200 f4 lens?

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Probably too front heavy but I havnt tried

[@hey9784]

RSC2's design is more superior than the Weebill2 hands down.

[@larryzamora1698]

RSC2 all the way!

[@enricoceliz]

There should have been a locking mechanism to balance it easier.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

there's a lock on each axis, I just chose not to use it

[@DhanukaThanooja]

Weebill 2

[@Kframevideo]

Your roll axis in rsc2 is still not balance.

[@FranzMetrixs]

what a coincidence, I just got my rsc2 delivered to my door...

[@chrisbrockhurst]

boom!! exciting

[@newlifeeveryday1821]

Question from a newbie: Do you think the DJI RSC2 or RS2 combined with the Sony A7Siii could produce stabilized video similar to these hiking videos on youtube ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXq0qIyNh9GLhbs ) ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5KtY4GfoNJ7pMU ) If so then can you please tell me how people hold a gimbal and camera for hours ? I guess I just need a little advice on how to make stabilized hiking videos. If you have any suggestions I would be grateful. Thank you.

[@RajChavdaOne]

make sure you do shoulder, bicep, tricep, forearm, wrist weight lifting exercises to build up strength. Hold the gimbal close to the body as possible, that will reduce fatigue on your arms. You can hold with one arm, then switch hands. Doing all three should get you a great length of time.

[@Bradum]

Dear lord, please lock the axis you're not actively balancing!
