Ronin SC vs Weebill S comparison | Best compact gimbals

[@FarrukhPitafi]

No-nonsense review! Deserve a subscribe for putting test shots in actual speed instead of slowmo.

[@SamThingsHD]

Thanks for the sub!

[@dodgebard816]

agree

[@kalebsfamilyadventures1820]

finally seeing a filipino with amazing video review, editing, lighting, bokeh, captions etc! mala Peter McKinnon intro, mala Tech Gear Talk Review, mala Potato Jet comparison review footage! and a very original humorous way of ending blooper effect. no wonder you have all these because i'm sure you're the best in your field as a pro photographer/videographer. i love watching anything about camera, gadgets and all instead of cosmetics review and stuff. Kudos to you!

[@conraddevera]

For those of us with smaller cameras (I have an a6400 using prime). I don’t plan to buy big lenses (I consider the 16mm sigma big already), would you recommend the ronin sc? I do understand that an extra handle would need to be purchased (wish ronin used a similar form factor, smaller and with proper underslung)

[@SamThingsHD]

Yeah I would definitely recommend the SC in that scenario. As long as you have no plans of moving to a bigger lens / camera combo 😊

[@conraddevera]

@@SamThingsHD that you, this helps a lot

[@conraddevera]

@@SamThingsHD was just doing some reading, it seems Sony camera support is still lacking (unless I'm reading an old list)

[@gabor.vincze]

@@SamThingsHD What about the A6400 with the 18-135mm kit lens? Can the Ronin SC handle both ends if I balance the camera mid-zoomed?

[@HR-wd6cw]

Good overall review, but I Feel that the DJI is a bit more stable, especially when underslung (such as around 7:54) you can see small vibrations in the Weebill but on the DJI it's not really even noticeable, which is important to people (now I suspect if you enabled IBIS on the camera--if equipped) this can further take care of small vibrations.

[@MrEvanTea]

Will the Weebill handle a Canon 80D?

[@JoeSzilagy]

I was surprised that you preferred the Zhiyun for the underslung usage, as you were bending down somewhat to get the camera closer to the ground (which looked uncomfortable for you), but with the Ronin, you were able to keep your back straighter, as the design seemed to enable you to have it closer to the ground without any bending.

[@SamThingsHD]

Yeah from a posture perspective the ronin’s easier. But from a handling perspective, the weebil felt better because the grip is parallel to the ground so it’s like carrying a bag instead of a mallet - easier to control in my opinion. Similar handling advantage for the weebil in flashlight mode.

[@dodgebard816]

Battery replacement is sometimes the most important feature. That is why I went with the Crane V2 at that time. Being out without power source for long periods makes battery life and "ease" of replacement. Weebill...sorry maybe you will get to it....replacing the batteries seems to be the easiest of all. Meaning while out on a shot or actually purchasing spare sets. I am at 9:55 and now moving on...

[@mnfvisuals6594]

Is the ronin sc compatible with lumix G85 ? Please someone should help me. I wish to get a gimbal for my Panasonic g85

[@mertcepni6957]

I can’t understand english. Which one is the best?

[@remedyofficialvlogs47]

Hi sir! Nice review! Anyway, my current setup is a tamron 28-75 with a7r2. I have heard this will have a problem with ronin sc. Should i choose weeble instead? Pls help me decide 😭

[@TuckerDansieFilms]

Can you tell me what the little red button looking thing is that hangs off the side of your camera? I’ve seen several KZbin camera people with them and can’t figure out what it would be. A tracker?

[@SamThingsHD]

You’re probably talking about the peak design anchor. It’s a quick release system for their straps 😊

[@AndrewMasters]

The intro was so sick. Great job.

[@lorenzoocchipinti9120]

I'm undecided beetween these two. My setup is: Sony a6400+Sony E35mm f/1.8 OSS+Sigma 16mm f/1.4. I'd like a good image transmssion to my iPhone. Which gimbal is more compatible with my setup?

[@SamThingsHD]

That’s a pretty light setup, so either would do for stabilizing. But I would go for the Weebill S in your case, since their image transmission module is better than just using imaging edge, and adds monitor functions apart from gimbal control in the zy play app.

[@lorenzoocchipinti9120]

@@SamThingsHD Thank you so much for your advice.

[@SamThingsHD]

You’re very welcome 😊

[@kumuri_keebs]

Thank you for the review! Im torn between weebill s vs crane 2 , which one should i get?

[@megancross2954]

So can the DJI shoot underslung without the eye piece bumping the gimbal? Or do you have to rebalance or adjust the camera to shoot underslung?

[@slurred_gamer2927]

Great intro! Loved it! 🤩

[@jeshtanags]

Will it support Nikon d 7100

[@SpectacularCreation09]

[@poulabhiz5121]

Does it support nikon d7500 with 85mm 1.8g lens ? ( zhiyun weebill s)

[@rodrigomacias]

I actually liked the intro very much! BTW, I just bought the Webill S

[@SamThingsHD]

Thank you! Enjoy the new toy 😊

[@amanarceo438]

Hello po! What colored lights did you use for the background?

[@SweetSourTravel]

Does anyone try the weebill s with the Sony a7iii + Sony 24-105mm lens. Thanks

[@SamThingsHD]

The GM is larger and heavier than the 24-105 and can be handled by the Weebill S.

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Pinoy brother Sam! This is what we need dito, more Filipino creativity with video tech! Thanks for an informative, balanced, fair comparison. Ingat, God bless! (My wife is Pinay.)

[@SamThingsHD]

Thanks man! You’ve got impeccable taste then 😁 kamustahin mo asawa mo para sa akin 😊

[@ThePhilharmonicStudios]

My friend selling me moza air 1 for 140 $ with installments and the zhiyun weebel s or Ronin SC new one costs 350 $ which should I go ?

[@jamesmarcaquino4474]

If money is not a problem, go to weebil or ronin. I have moza air 1 and it still serve its purpose but it depends to the user and to its settings

[@aarod2010]

I bought the Weebill-s, it hasn't disappointed yet! used it with different lens combinations and no problem. DJI will up there game, but until they do Weebill-s will be my go to gimbal.

[@SamThingsHD]

My thoughts exactly!

[@conraddevera]

Aaron Serrano I like that it’s small (I think the weight is close). Do you experience any jitters (I don’t know if that is the right word) I also like that it can be underslung with ease

[@aarod2010]

Cons29 No I can’t say that I have had any unwanted movement. I find that it is very forgiving, I have tried different setups including canon 6D with 24-70 lens. Took me longer to get the balance bang on but it worked. I recommend that people buy the Pro package as it comes with the Video Transmitter.

[@conraddevera]

Aaron Serrano that, I’m torn between the two, then I have to convince the wife after all that

[@aarod2010]

Cons29 I hear you, I would still buy the Weebill S right now, but I’m sure that DJI will answer the call with a new offering soon. Weebill S seems to have shaken up the Gimbal market for this year.

[@HerSoulVacation]

As a solo creator, I need the tracking capability. I bought the Weebill but it was pretty crappy and will freeze the image constantly. Not reliable at all. I wonder if I got a bad one. I even bought the transmitter. I shoot with Sony 6600. Has anyone experienced bad tracking?

[@SamThingsHD]

It’s not as good as DJI’s tracking. You need good light/contrast for it to work reliably.

[@HerSoulVacation]

@@SamThingsHD Thx Sam! I think I will try the Ronin next.

[@twantenhooven3078]

The intro was very slick

[@O2Cinematics]

Which more stabilized? And 360 degree function?

[@SamThingsHD]

Stabilization is comparable, and they both do 360. But you can do it with more camera/lens combinations on the weebill s. Check the side by side footage in the video to see if you have a preference :)

[@marenadomingo-young5075]

Hi there, could I also use my iphone to film on this gimbal?

[@davetinoco]

No

[@roledotoledo]

sam, does the ronin sc work on fuji xs10?

[@thesleepione247]

I'm so accustom to seeing youtubers do jumpcuts to cut down on pauses it felt weird to watch at times but thanks. Definitely getting a weebill s

[@freetennis8247]

I have the weebill s and I’m using the canon m50. If I place a mic on the camera’s flash mount, the weebill’s tilt axis (the middle axis) hits the mic. Other than not using a mic, is there a solution?

[@SamThingsHD]

You can get an arm that has a hotshoe mount, or put it in a cage that allows you to mount the mic on the side 😊 when I use my Saramonic receiver with my setup, I just clip it to the cables on the side instead of on the hotshoe.

[@ଶାନ୍ତନୁ]

I also choose weebill s as a travel vlogger it helps because of its compactness and reliability. I hope it goes well in long run.

[@VSims]

Skipped the intro 😩 Love the video... DJI looks smoother to me. That’s all I care about.

[@SamThingsHD]

Haha thanks bro

[@Crayip]

what do you think weebill s or ronin s? i just care about the smoothnes and the payload

[@SamThingsHD]

If you meant Ronin SC (not S) and your priority is payload, then the Weebill S is the way to go. They both stabilize footage very well.

[@Crayip]

@@SamThingsHD no i meant Ronin S i dont care about the weight all i want is to get the smoothes footage and the best payload to be future proof

[@SamThingsHD]

I’d go for the Ronin S if I were you. The main selling point of the 2 in the vid is their size and weight. Since that’s not a factor, the Ronin S is the better choice. Just take note that it’s a little trickier to balance and store because it doesn’t have axis locks. But balancing gets easier with experience, and its box is also its carrying case - so not gamebreaking issues.

[@Crayip]

@@SamThingsHD is there a pov/fpv mode on the ronin s like its on the weebill s?

[@leef3167]

[@edrewong2480]

Love this review man! I have a canon 6d mark ii and my go to lens is the 24-70mm and 50mm. I'm on the fence between the ronin s and weebill S. What would you recommend? Though I know this review is about the ronin sc and weebill s, not ronin s. Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

[@SamThingsHD]

Thanks! I had the original Ronin before. Definitely a great gimbal, but it’s heavy. If you don’t mind the weight, it’s an option. Personally, I’d go with the weebill s.

[@edrewong2480]

SamThingsHD Thanks for the recommendation man.

[@Rohanhola]

Will either work with D3400?

[@mr.fernandoo]

what would be better, Ronin S or Weebill S? I am torn between the two! HELP please

[@SamThingsHD]

I went from Ronin S to Ronin SC because the S was too chunky and heavy. I didn’t bring it along as much because of that. I then switched from the SC to the Weebill S to handle heavier loads while still being able to fit in my backpack. If size and weight of the gimbal wasn’t a problem, I’d go with the Ronin S. But I’m not regretting moving to the smaller gimbals because I bring them along more often, and I’m very happy with the Weebill’s payload capacity.

[@awillingvessel238]

Is the ronin compatible with Sony? Like does it give u an option to press record without doing it direct off the camera ?

[@SamThingsHD]

Yes the record button works. You have to use the multi usb cable, not the USB C cable like most would think.

[@zerobrapsgiven258]

Are you in the Philippines? Thank you for the video, I'm currently shopping these two gimbals at the moment. Leaning towards the Ronin since I have a small camera.

[@SamThingsHD]

[@nikos22patra]

nice vid, can you do a comparison with dji ronin s?

[@SamThingsHD]

No longer have a Ronin S. But I ditched the Ronin S to go lighter with the SC, and ditched that for the Weebill S for payload. But I still recommend the Ronin S for those that don’t mind the weight, and the SC for those that won’t use heavier payloads. The Weebill S is a good in-between.

[@alpha_pixel_]

Please do comparison with Moza Aircross 2

[@dodgebard816]

During your test 7:40 and throughout I feel ("personal opinion" ..pc) the Zhiyun seems to be more stable. This has been common for me with other videos comparisons. I have the Zhiyun Cane V2 and wondering if I "should" upgrade to either one of these....keep getting pulled towards the Zhiyun in my research. Well, I will continue on into your video maybe you will assist in my decision.

[@dan5g931]

Hey. Hope you are well. Was wondering if you still have the same opinion of the weebill. Have heard some people complaining about the built quality. Not sure of those ppl are really heavy users or the gimbal quality is actually not that great I'm deciding between these 2 products. Thank you.

[@davidpossien3061]

I went with the weebill s. It's pretty awesome. I do notice that sometimes it gets confused when tilting it forward 30 degrees and to the right at about 35 degrees. It jumps, and will screw up whatever smooth shot you were going for.

[@SamThingsHD]

That happens to me too, but probably for a different reason. The arm on the right slips (the one you adjust when balancing with the lens facing up) in that orientation with heavier lenses sometimes, so I need to remember to tighten that knob a little extra. It’s affected a number rolling shots for me.
