Weebill S vs Ronin SC comparison. Which gimbal is best?

The Zhiyun Weebill S vs the Ronin SC a comparison of the two best travel gimbals on the market in 2019. Which travel gimbal is best? It depends on what you need. The Weebill S holds more weight and larger lenses for mirrorless cameras and stabilizes them easily. The Ronin SC has some of the best tracking and other smart features of any gimbal currently on the market. The Bottom line is the Weebill S or the Ronin SC will both give you smooth stable gimbal shots. The Weebill S and the Ronin SC will both be excellent gimbals for you but which one is best depends on your needs.

I used two different cameras to show how much having IBIS can help when using gimbals but I also turned IBIS off to do a more direct comparison. I only had access to these two cameras and a very limited amount of time to film this video.

[@JakeSloan]

I realize it isn't ideal

[@JosephDartJr]

@@JakeSloan I was under the impression the Ronin SC can mount the a7 III, is there a reason you didn't just use the same camera for both gimbals? I ask because I have heard the RSC can be finicky when it comes to heavier cameras like the a7 III and wanted to know if that was one of the reasons. If it does, do you have you any experience with this setup? This is one of the questions I am considering when deciding if I should go with the a6600, which has an IBIS system closer to what is found in the a7 III, and pairing it with a decent lens and the Ronin SC to maximize portability and functionality. I have been wondering after watching videos though if it'd be better to go with the a7 III and the Zhiyun Weebill S and a decent lens, even though its around $1000 more to do so properly. I just have a sinking feeling I'll spend the money to get setup with the a7 III so late in the game that I'll instantly wish I had waited for the a7 IV instead. Hard decisions, but I appreciate content like yours helping me make an informed decision. Great information overall, well filmed, and straight to the point. That's a sub from me.

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you very much! Appreciate it a lot. Did you decide to buy one or the other? Or both 😜?

[@elProducente]

Jake Sloan still can’t decide. I used a lot of DJI and Zhiyun products and was happy with all of them. User Interface / App is usually a bit better on DJI products. I use a Sony a6300 and don’t plan to upgrade to a7 (most likely another a6.00 series) I’d say: + Weebill: Form Factor, Battery, a bit stronger/stabile due to stronger motors I guess (Zhiyun Crane-M was weak during wind) + DJI: Active Track, Force Mobile, Price. Not sure if I a will need/use the DJI features.

[@GlenDomulevicz]

For the first time I am seriously looking at a gimbal for my mirrorless camera. Watched your first take on the Weebill S and this one with the Ronin. Very helpful information. I have wanted something small and lighter weight after many commenting about how heave a gimbal can be. And I wanted versatility in movement. The Weebill S looks to be what I want. Object tracking would be great on the Ronin but I think I can work around what the Weebill has. Thanks for sharing.

[@JakeSloan]

Both of these gimbals are very light compared to others on the market. The Weebill S def shoots some of the most stable footage of any small gimbal I’ve used so far. I’ll have a few more videos coming on how to use the Weebill S and setup settings etc in the next week or two. I hope they help and thanks for watching!! Cheers

[@PaulFeinberg]

Looking forward to your settings video on the Weebill S. Once I get the hang of using a Gimbal it is going to be amazing I can already tell. Nice video comparison!

[@JakeSloan]

Oh yes. You made a great choice my friend! It’s going to be a GREAT gimbal for you.

[@BagsPackedFamily]

We are in the market for a gimbal to help stabilize our travel footage. We have the A7iii, 16-35 GM, and the Rode Pro Plus. It looks like the Weebill S can handle the weight of our gear. My questions, how would you mount the Pro+ so that it doesn't interfere with the gimble movements (underslung mode ~ for example)? Also, just curious, what software are you using to edit your footage?

[@JakeSloan]

Hey! I use Final Cut Pro X to edit with. Davinci resolve is another great option if you’re not Mac based. The weebill S would def handle that weight and they make this little thing here to move the mic off to the side of the camera amzn.to/3fim9pd (Affiliate link) so the mic won’t interfere with the camera movement!

[@BagsPackedFamily]

@@JakeSloan Great! Thank you.

[@JamieHines]

You're welcome!

[@kuau714]

Jake another awesome video. Love your work and I am looking in doing similar kind of work / imagery minus vloging. I started with the Ronin SC though just returned it because of the release of the webill s and the fact that one of my lenses is the Sony 24-70/2.8 GM. What would be really helpful if at all possible is you doing a tutorial on how you step up your A7lll for gimbal work, I.e. focus settings and other tips that would be helpful. Curious with all the outdoor shooting you do what Sony Picture Profile do you like using ? Thanks again

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks Steven! I have been planning to do a video on how I set up my camera for shooting for a while now and you have pushed me to do it sooner rather than later lol. Stay tuned! On the picture profile I use PP1 but I changed the default quite a bit after using EOS HD pro color v4 settings for a bit. I then adjust the contrast shadows and highlights just a little bit in post. This video was particularly challenging to shoot. Strong backlighting and rapidly constantly changing from harsh sun to no sun kept me adjusting things constantly lol. Cheers and thanks again!

Thanks for sharing the comparison Jake. Enjoyed watching cheers 👍🙌

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks Adrian! Cheers mate. 😁

[@cedricfreivogel3882]

Do I need the transmission module in order to use my smartphone as a second monitor for Zhiyun? And can you also program some focus points on Weebill in order to film yourself (saw in the dji app you can mark some spots where the camera should focus and what speed etc.). I have a sony a7iii and would love to go with the ronin-sc but it seems like Weebill-S is overall the better choice except for the app itself (also can handle my 16-35f4).

[@JakeSloan]

If you camera has WiFi and an app to monitor through then now. If you camera doesn’t have an app or you don’t want to plug a small external monitor directly into the camera then yes you will need the image transmission module to monitor video wirelessly. I have a video coming up focused on the wireless image transmission system!

Would you still recommend the Weebill if I'm just gonna shoot with the a7mk3 and tammy 28-75mm? I dunno if I should go with Ronin SC or Weebill.

[@JakeSloan]

I would still highly recommend the Weebill S for the best stabilization. If you plan to use smart features like motion time-lapses motion tracking etc then the Ronin SC still wins. Either one will work well but DJI is also having a sale at the moment which depending on your budget might help you make up your mind: click.dji.com/ANSvoAn3xa7-aF7IyCHStQ?pm=link (affiliate link)

[@elliotnomanches]

Thanks for a great review. Do you need the separate image transmission module and phone bracket to use your phone as a simple monitor on the Weebil?

[@JakeSloan]

You will need to buy the image transmission module and the phone bracket separately or wait till they offer the image transmission pro package for the weebill s. If your camera offers built in wireless image transmission through an app then you would just need a phone holder to attach to the weebill or use an HDMI monitor and HDMI cable from your camera but that won't be wireless. The phone bracket is here: geni.us/KxgcB (affiliate link)

8:11 is that your dog or just so happens to be a great wildlife scene you just so happen to miss happening behind you? I have the Canon EOS R with heavy lenses and it's tough to decide between the RONIN S, SC or the Weebill S. Would a smaller lighter lens work better with the SC with an EOS R?

[@JakeSloan]

It was someone else’s dog behind me. They were playing fetch with a stick in the lake lol. I would take a serious look at the Weebill S for your use. If not then the ronin Sc would work with the R and smaller lighter lenses. The Weebill s will work with many heavier lenses though.

Can you use weebill s with a iPhone? I have an iPhone XS Max and use Moment lenses and it’s always too heavy for smartphone gimbals I also have a Fujifilm Xt3 so figured maybe I should get one for both

I can get a really smooth shot as well. Especially with ibis on. But with ibis off and not trying to walk extremely smoothly either gimbal will have shakes. I didn’t try and walk super smoothly so it’s a more real world test for most people who don’t use gimbals every day and are walking over un even ground.

[@cjaycrown]

i have lumix s5 + ninja 5 + 24-70 can u tell me which i use gimbal ?

[@JakeSloan]

I would look at the weebill s or the new weebill 2 or DJI RSC 2

[@hochzeitsvideografmunchenb5899]

Great job Jake, thnx a lot.

[@JakeSloan]

You're welcome thanks for watching!

[@PakaPrich]

Great comparison. Super nice location!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you so much! Which gimbal would you choose?

[@specialmoviestar]

I have a question. Can you pull focus with this gimbal and the focus weel without connecting the focus motor like you can with the dji ronin sc or do I have to use the motor all the time. I have a Sony a 6400.

[@JakeSloan]

Unfortunately no. The control of Sony focus using the focus wheel isn’t compatible with any Sony cameras and lenses so you’d have to use the focus motor all the time...

[@specialmoviestar]

@@JakeSloan At first, thanks for your answer. I think thats really sad. Do you know the reason why it is so ?

[@JakeSloan]

My understanding is the way Sony controls that camera and what control signals can be passed through USB and which ones can’t

[@masealwart]

Great comparison video, thanks Jake! ..and finally someone who chooses a beautiful location for a tech review :) Another factor for me is product support. Have dealt with both over the last years and here DJI is simply waaay ahead of Zhiyun. Keep it up!

[@JakeSloan]

That’s true! I haven’t had to deal with Zhiyun tech support so I cannot personally comment on it but I do know DJI generally has quite good tech support! I happened on this location just after the sun came out and the clouds went away so it was really great to film in. Which gimbal do you use or which one would you choose? Cheers!

[@neoskepsis7106]

I own an a7 camera and I wondering which one fits the best? Your video is super informative anyway.

[@JakeSloan]

I would recommend looking at either the Weebill 2 or the DJI RSC 2 now. Both are significant upgrades from these. I have reviews of them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoDNaoJ5p8ulo7s

[@mathieuchampagne3410]

I have a sony a7iii with a big sigma 14-24mm f.2.8 at More than 800g... do you think it is a problem?

[@JakeSloan]

I think the weebill S could handle it. The ronin SC could not for sure

[@travelwithme8656]

Great video - thanks ☺️ For Sony a6400, which one would you recommend me? I mean is Weebill S is great option for a6400?☺️

[@JakeSloan]

I would highly recommend the Weebill S now. It’s an excellent gimbal!

[@travelwithme8656]

@@JakeSloan Thank you so much for the fast response ☺️ yes I thought so but I wasn't sure.. it's even smaller and cheaper ☺️ have a great time.

[@JakeSloan]

You’re welcome!

[@RonaldBrown59]

They both seem like nice gimbals, I'm considering getting on of them for my mirrorless camera. I've always like Zhiyun Phone gimbals.

[@JakeSloan]

If I had to pick one today I would go for the weebill S. It has proven itself very reliable

[@dylan-nguyen]

Jake Sloan Zhiyun also has refurbs for $240 now!! The Weebill S looks tiny, like the size of the original Dji Osmo Mobile phone gimbal but obviously much stronger. Osmo Mobile couldn’t hold my iPhone 8+

[@JakeSloan]

True!

[@raulpineiro9781]

Hello! And what gimbal es berter, Ronin S or Weebill s? I have canon 77D and sometimes one friend give me a 5D4. Thank you!

[@JakeSloan]

The ronin S is much larger and much heavier so it works with much larger cameras and lenses. The Weebill will work with the 5d and some canon lenses. I would look at the list in my description to see if your combos work. If you do lots of carrying traveling and need a smaller light weight gimbal then the Weebill S is the way to go for sure. If you need really large heavy camera loads the ronin s carries massive weight but is a lot more work to carry around. I hope that helps! Cheers

[@rpimagen]

@@JakeSloan OK thank you very much! I will not use very heavy cameras and it will be an occasional use. The question is whether the Ronin S will offer better stabilization than the Weebill S. And I also have the question of compatibility with my canon 77D, DJI has announced that soon the 77D will be compatible with the Ronin, however the Weebill will not. Thank you!

[@seollenda]

For the SC, will the A6500 + Sony 18-105 work on it? Or should I consider the Weebil?

[@JakeSloan]

for that lens I would consider the Weebill S. It is def able to handle the weight easier.

[@seollenda]

@@JakeSloan Thank you sir!

[@andreapiccoli1037]

I’m still undecided between these two. My setup is Sony a6400+Sony E35mm f/1.8+Sigma 16mm f/1.4. I prefer the DJI software, but also prefer the form factor of Weebill S. Which is better in compatibility with my Sony?

[@JakeSloan]

They both have the same compatibility for start and stop recording etc. neither one can adjust camera settings from the gimbal

[@georgeappiah8314]

please i have 5d iv which is gimble is good for it

[@JakeSloan]

The Weebill S is the only one of these two gimbals that can handle the Canon 5d iv and it is a great gimbal! Cheers!!

[@irfan31041]

I use sony A6500 with sigma 30 and sigma 16 f1.4, which you think the best?

[@JakeSloan]

Def the Weebill S!

[@MichaelDeVowe]

Amazing location! Where was this shot? edit - looks like you're in Alaska. Beautiful!

[@JakeSloan]

Yes Alaska the place I call home lol. You can see lots of Alaska in my videos. It provides a wonderful backdrop!

[@chrisfilmedit7631]

Jake Sloan Live in Alaska too, just sub I want start a channel too from the Last Frontier!

[@christofferroeen7222]

did Zhiyun disable video transmission to phone without transmission module ??

[@JakeSloan]

On the weebill S they removed the image transmission module and made it a separate part that comes in a small detachable box and can be used with or without the gimbal.

[@donovanchin]

Another great video for those of us trying to decide which one to get

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks!

[@damiandigitaldude5531]

Can you use the gimbal SC or Weebil S to record from your phone also, maybe with an accesorie or is just for mirrorless camara and DSLR?

[@JakeSloan]

You can but you have to add a fair amount of weight to properly balance the gimbal with just a phone.

[@damiandigitaldude5531]

@@JakeSloan but is the attachment the same?

[@JakeSloan]

Yes anything with a 1/4” 20 mount will attach.

[@johnburnett1974]

Does the weebill 2 come with a handle or do I need to get that separately. If so do you have a link.

[@JakeSloan]

It comes with the tripod/handle thing. There is an add on handle you can purchase here: geni.us/fqfU and you can see a review of all the accessories I use watch this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH6UknWqfZalsJI

Hlw, I Have Canon Eos M50 mirrorless camera. Which one is the best all over for M50 ?

The canon m50 actually would do great on the Ronin SC

[@SGuest1984]

Great comparison review! Quick question, with the Weebill S, can I set it up and then walk in front of it and have it follow me intuitively. ie if I have the Transmission module on the gimbal and phone in my pocket, can the gimbal be set to follow the phone? or even can I walk in front of it, use my phone with wifi to select myself and then move around having it follow me? if so, at what range? Thanks!!!

[@JakeSloan]

You can I used it that way for a couple shots in my last few videos (sony a7III review and Sirui 35mm lens review) range depends a lot on lighting conditions etc. Cheers!

[@SGuest1984]

@@JakeSloan Thanks mate! Really appreciate your help. I've pre-ordered the A7Siii so I'm looking at gimbal options atm.. Weebill S looks like a winner!

@@JakeSloan I'll be sure to check it out.. My main priority is small and portable as I'll be hiking with it in my pack. The under-slung feature is a must have also :-)

[@Roz-Inspire-Video]

Fabulous video and appreciate all your effort to reply to so many comments. I am new to video ... I can use my phone with an App as a bigger screen. What is the difference between that, and, getting an actual video monitor? I've heard of "Zebra" as being a setting that is not on my Olympus OMD EM1.2 gather I would need a monitor to (?) to adjust other kinds of settings? thanks in advance

[@JakeSloan]

not a lot of difference other than maybe slightly less lag (depends on your app and the strength of connection). The camera app made by the camera maker usually has the most control over settings as well compared to this. Cheers!!
