Are you a videographer? Here are 6 CAMERA HACKS every videographer must know: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2a1fYCpr7Nqeq8

[@johnmcintosh5892]

*Coming from a Crane 2 **do7.pl/ZStabilizer** and a Ronin S I use the wee bill S with the A7III. You have complete control of the camera settings through the display in the handle. It does take some getting use to but I feel like I can carry this setup all day. It’s super smooth and works perfect. It’s my favorite gimbal so far.*

[@randyclarke5410]

Best tutorial. Everyone else’s were garbage... thank you

[@briangillard7568]

I've watched several videos but could not get a good understanding of how to balance the gimbal. Your video was easy to understand and follow. I used my gimbal for the first time today after having it for 3 months, love it!

[@KemoMarriott]

SERIOUSLY helpful my man. Combined your teachings with that from another video. Yours was actually the most helpful for sure. Thanks so much.

[@EvanThomas]

Thank you!

[@dosakim07]

one of the best explanations of gear on youtube. Just simple no frills. Thanks for the straight forward Review and Setup video mate.

[@marcovasquez348]

The best video on balancing!!! Blessings, is a great tutorial.

[@isaacgomez69]

IMO you should do hard jump cuts instead of just fast forwarding. good review btw

[@hotwireman49]

in the video you suggested an additional video and pointed up at the corner ("card?") The "card" isn't there. Can you put the video to which you refer in the show notes?

[@JetSetCalvin]

Great video - I just bought this today and know nothing about gimbals so you were a lifesaver!! Thanks

[@harishkumar1251]

wow.....so much info in 11 mins....Thanks Evan...Subscribing

[@EvanThomas]

thanks for watching

[@PurpleSplendor]

Where is the camera locking latch? It has to be loosened to adjust the tilt but it is not identified in the pdf guide or anywhere else.

[@tazdotcom]

Mate well explained and like the way you note the points for a different lens. Any videos on the app set up and how to use it :)

[@michaelplumb9053]

Very good overview. Question: What kind of zoom lenses can you use on a WeeBill for video. Surely any zoom lens that changes its physical length as you zoom in and out unbalances the camera on the gimbal.

[@EvanThomas]

yes that is true, so I use the Sony G Master 18-105 F/4

[@PruneM_]

Hello, and thank you for this video. I need help please: when I calibrate my stabilizer on the tilt axis, the plate slides when I point the lens up or down, while the screw of the plate is tight... Could you please tell me why the plate does not stay fixed when the screw is tightened? I'm desperate because I can't use my stabilizer... Thanks in advance for your help

[@carola-lifeinparis]

thank you. I just bought this gimbal, it is my first one :)

[@EvanThomas]

hope you enjoy it :)

[@rotorfpv4117]

when you balanced, gimbal was on or off???

[@Mrnazro]

Great video. Simple to the point. Thanks bro

[@emmawild2808]

Struggling to set up camera from start, difficult to see which way the mount was put onto camera, I'm so confused the base plate is in a completely different position to how yours is set up.

[@zeddllegaspi31]

Can the Weebill lab fit Sony A6300 + Sony 18-105mm F4 Lens?

[@jaymieandjerickvlogs]

Zedd Legaspi im using a6400 + 18-105 f4 lens and its pretty good.

[@matthewmitton9426]

i cannot seem to get the left right balance to be set. it is set horizontally but it wont stay in any position. i am using a sony a7II and an FE 85 1.8 lens. please help

[@NeluCiorba]

Thank you Evan, very helpful and bcz of you I ordered one and Zv2 became an history now :)

[@Theyloveaugust]

my base plate keeps sliding, how do I fix that? please help!

[@JesperAnderssonPhotography]

Great review! Thanks a lot, very informative!

[@Carnie5life]

Hello! Great videos! What is the usbc connection on the handle for? Can I hook in an external monitor through that?

[@JonasBecker]

Hi Evan! First of fall: The best video I have seen, more informative than Brandon Li or Jason Vong and I didn't feel sponsored. Like they hyped it like it was a Ronin M at the size of two smartphones. I have one more question, as it would be my first gimbal: Is it consistent enough for freelancing jobs? Like little commercials for restaurants or even weddings? Greetings from Germany!

[@adyzds]

I have the Sony a6400 with 18-105mm. Do you think it is ok that the plate pushes the camera lens? I feel that the plate needs to be screwed a little bit more in order to stay in place and that somehow pushes the lens upwards

[@EvanThomas]

I’ve used the same lens with this gimbal. Should be fine

[@Tony-yg6bz]

I bought a moza air 2. it died. I'm thinking about this one. Im wondering if it has a balance check in the menus? That was a sweet feature of the moza

[@brianmimura5430]

Great vid. Thx. Can I use an external mic on top without it bumping into the gimbal in under slung or other positions? And will this gimbal work well with a 18-135 mm Sony lens on the A6400? Don't want it to be too weak to balance comfortably. Thx

[@robertsamuelmcmahon]

insanely helpful, thank you!

[@EvanThomas]

Thanks Robert

[@عبداللهالأربش-د7ي]

Thank you so much, it works but I have a problem with POV mood ): !

[@EvanThomas]

what is the problem?

[@عبداللهالأربش-د7ي]

Evan Thomas when I select the mood, it suddenly rotate and losses the control

[@عبداللهالأربش-د7ي]

@@EvanThomas Can you help me please

[@Fridialle]

Can I also control my G70 with the Weebill with the camera connection cable of the Crane 2?

[@souvik5021]

Lovely Review. Can it be used with a setup like Sony a7 iii + 24-105 G master lens?

[@AndyVNguyen]

souvikonthego mine balances kind of. It will support 24-70mm of the lens. After 70, it will be too front heavy.

[@rajanbahia5578]

Would the canon m50 work well with this gimbal?

[@EvanThomas]

yes it would

[@dilippatel4126]

can i use my canon mark 4 with 24-105 in Weebill Lab

[@EvanThomas]

yes it should support that weight, although I would opt for a bigger Zhiyun

[@perro721]

Thanks. It was a very helpful video for me. I just got this one. Unfortunately I am a complete idiot when it comes to technology. You were very helpful.

[@EvanThomas]

Thanks!

[@SpiderboxFilms]

How about the iPhone viewing feature.

[@bentejd8927]

Adding you phone as a monitor? Is a extra you need to buy, works good of what I've heard. Would'nt use it myself but if you do it's a nice extra.

[@MrKentKee]

I have the Sony FE 35mm f1.4 on the weebill lab. From time to time while operating the gimbal, the display will show "axis lock". Why does this happen, and how do I get out of this without restarting the gimbal?

[@EvanThomas]

that's strange, I'm not sure why that is happening.

[@reynoldsc]

Many thanks for the review. Very Helpful. One question for you though, do you know if by having the focus remote controller on the Weebill you then can't go into full Vortex mode? I have a very lightweight 16-70 Sony APSC lens with my Sony A7Rii and it won't go 'Vortex' when the unit is attached?

[@EvanThomas]

Hi Chris, I'm not sure, because I don't have the focus remote controller :/

[@reynoldsc]

Evan Thomas many thanks fella!!

[@SIDESIGN]

Thanks bro

[@billyadam71]

Hi Evan, Great Video! I was hoping I could use a gimbal to pan with a iPhone/app when on a tripod. I have a Manfrotto lightweight Video Tripod I use to hike in but even panning is difficult with this tripod. I returned a Gimbal that could not do a nice slow pan. Have you tried this with the Weewill Lab? Any Information and or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill

[@londondia]

It says axis lock in the screen on my weegimbal

[@MrBeanParodies]

New to your chanel. Really love the content, keep it up and i hope you the best of luck

[@RAMSEYSPENCER]

Hey Evan ... you mentioned Everything you need to know about the gimble .. but you never mention whats the net weight of it without the camera .. just as it is with the batteries inside it .. thats the only thing I wanted to know and you didnt mention it :(

[@EvanThomas]

Hi Ramsey, 990 grams or about 2.1 pounds.

[@RAMSEYSPENCER]

@@EvanThomas oucchhhh so its 1kg .... sofar the best one for gh4 is the crane v2 or plus ... thanks man

[@taib0]

Hi Evan, nice video man thanks for your time. I have a new Weebal lab and the firmware version is 1.82 now when I connect to the Zhiyun play app it is not telling me I need a firmware update i am sure V1.82 is not the latest firmware?, thank you

[@EvanThomas]

I believe the latest is now 1.84

[@UCTeeth]

Would you go DJI ronin S or Weebill Lab? For sony Mirrorless cameras?

[@KidKingBuu]

ronin S babY!

[@giangnguyentranlam5632]

I have just been at a camera store. By a stroke of luck i have had the opportunity to have a hand-on tésting with both the ronin s and the weebill lab and i have to say that the weebill did exceed my expectation whereas the ronin s gave me a really shaking footage at such focal lenth greater than 30mm. You should put your hand on all the gimbals before making your own decision mate. Dont trust anybody else because their needs and wants may differ from yours. At the end of the day, i have gone for the weebill lab.

[@prayoshadaraji1657]

what camera do u use??

[@EvanThomas]

Sony A6500

[@pranavabraham9870]

Hey Evan , just wanna know if this gimbal works with a base model DSLR such as a Canon 1100D , Im pursuing my higher studies into filmmaking and im now looking into buying a gimbal/stabilizer.So... Does it work or naw haha.

[@EvanThomas]

I haven't tested it, but it should support the weight of the 1100D

[@pranavabraham9870]

@@EvanThomas Oh okay so it depends on weight , Thanks Evan , Great channel.

[@challengetime7752]

Can you make a video about when you guessing where swedish citys is (from sweden i'm no good at english)(=

[@EvanThomas]

What do you mean? I guess the name of the city? Write it in Swedish, I will understand.

[@astello8893]

I can’t slide the plate into place, it won’t fit for some reason

[@EvanThomas]

is the screw loose?

[@astello8893]

Evan Thomas I finally figured it out by lol thanks!

[@CoasterHipster]

Great comprehensive setup video! I'm considering buying a gimbal for my trip to China next month, and your review is very helpful :) I'm still a newbie to cameras, so which 'defaut mode' should I go for with when learning to use the gimbal in your opinion? In any event, subbed! Keep up the great work 👍

[@drip0wens]

My mounting piece wont lock

[@gianpaolostangoni4881]

Thanks! :)

[@hotwireman49]

what about an a6000??

[@EvanThomas]

yes it will easily support an a600

[@Joyce-tq2hf]

The screw that holds the camera plate is impossible to tighten properly.

[@EvanThomas]

how do you mean?

[@vizantdragan4523]

Motor setting low/med/hig?

[@EvanThomas]

I used medium for my Sony A6500 10-18mm setup.

[@EvanThomas]

If you have any questions about the Weebill Lab, leave them here and I will respond. You can support this channel by purchasing the gimbal from Amazon here: amzn.to/2ShFT00

[@mauibuilder1239]

Thanks for the great review....when you say GO mode...do you mean full follow mode for use on a monopod? Have there been any improvements to this? I heard you can achieve this by holding the trigger and pressing "LV" 3 times. I am considering purchasing this and would like confirmation of that if possible. Also would like to know if you can change aperture, shutter speed, iso etc. on Canon cameras with the thumbwheel with the camera connected with the micro usb cable similar to the Crane 2. I think it does work on Sony and Panasonic.

[@deel7114]

Hey Evan, I used to have Crane 2 and get used to the all follow "F" mode, and what a pleasure to use the F mode every time with the mono pod to lift up the camera and got the shot, but it's really frustrated to see the WEEBILL LAB change it as the push button which means I have to push it to enter the "F" mode , and holding it all the time . Except for the Zhiyun APP, is there any solution I can maintain the F mode without pushing the button ?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

After balancing and powering on my gimbal, it says "Axis lock", how do I fix this?

[@shantanumishra1312]

the fast forwarding is so funnny...🤣🤣🤣

[@carlgustafsson189]

WOW! You look exactly like didrik toenseth (skiier from norway)

[@Shiddy]

I have a youtube channel but am in dire need of editing skills, software and even a nice vlogging camera- Any tips or recommendations will greatly be appreciated!🙏🏿😊

[@EvanThomas]

They say “it’s not about the equipment, it’s about the content”. You can make a vlog with your phone. For editing you can use IMovie or something similar

[@jarihanhela2951]

Good tutorial but please either mute the video if you speed it up or simply use jump cut next time.

[@NaimaDahmer]

Axis block 😭

[@jnxilianzhan1192]

To be honest,Weebill is too small,it can't support a big camera within 3k,size is too small,balance is difficult

[@andyyen7912]

Weebill cant handle a lot of cameras actually because it has a tiny frame. Really only works with light camera and light primes. Stay away from weebill lab its just not worth 600$. It still has alot of problems with it.

[@bz7481]

呵呵， 我是冲着帅哥来的。。真的好帅啊， 好喜欢。。。

No need to explain the benefits of this unit, we already bought it.....just get to the point.....helping with setup and balancing .......

[@jimlarson8401]

Everything you need to know? First of all, how about some instruction about putting everything together? No one shows that. DETAILS!!

[@anneshi2197]

Wifi connection is so poor. Hope they can improve the service. They are not professional.

[@ChrisCarson]

I bought one, used it once and sent it back. The axis locks keep locking themselves when it's in use. It's not what you could call a developed product. They didn't bother with R&D. They just rush the thing to market, and hope for the best. Very, very rarely you'll find a Chinese product that works as it's supposed to. What they want you to believe and the reality are two very different things. If I'm buying Chinese, I always make sure I buy from Amazon so there's no hassle sending it back. Which is what happens nine times out of ten with anything Chinese. Before this I had a DJI Ronin. Never got to use it. Straight out of the box, it never worked. Couldn't even assemble it, because it had a quality control issue. I would never fly in a Chinese made aircraft. No, I'm not kidding.
