[@JamieHines]

Jeven great video. Where can you find those mounts to easily switch the handle without unscrewing it??

[@Diskomehl]

Hi. Where can I find the Quick release for the hand grip? Thank youfor the video.

[@CreativeNotJustYet]

@@JamieHines ​ @Diskomehl have you guys found them yet? ;-) just google or search on amazon for: Zhiyun Quick Setup Kit with 1/4" Screw

[@marion_roberts]

LOL people out here complaining about the micro shakes with the test footages definitely have not used a gimbal before. The vertical movement is something that NO gimbal today can stabilize. Atleast Jeven was honest about not introducing additional stabilization in post and showed you how stable the footage you'll get under normal conditions. Other youtubers out there who show you buttery smooth shots with this same/similar gimbal is either just standing in place,or learned the ninja walk,or in a moving platform like a skateboard,or most likely added warp stabilization in post. Guys,please be realistic with your expectations about gimbals;Sure,gimbals will give you smooth shots way better than handheld but still won't come close to what a slider, or a dolly would ever deliver. For now,anyway.

[@Saltycures]

Love my S so far! Another cool thing I’ve discovered is that handle is super useful. I’ve started using it as a straight up alternate handle for my camera that I screw into the bottom directly for either hand held shots where I don’t care as much about stability or to get stationary shots super low to the ground that I no longer need a gorilla pod or tripod to be able to do. Stick a phone mount on top of it and now you can do all of the above with your phone and that handle too!

[@DiegoTeliz]

Great review! I loved how you show how you use the gimbal along with the final shot. That helps a lot amateurs like me. Keep the great work!

[@ThatTattooGuyOfficial]

Ordering this this week! I'm super excited!

[@jerryalicea8897]

Awesome tutorial...Thank You for explaining how this baby works and how I can do all sorts of neat stuff with it.

[@JzJordan]

Awesome video bro. Much better explanation and presentation on the new gimbal. Love your channel too 🙌🏼👍🏻

[@ArchWayE]

OMG. That quick release is more impressive than that gimbal to me. I am going to get several of them (if they are strong, quick, and reliable).

[@may-tecmedia3432]

LOVE THE EXTRA EFFORT put into the full chicken head gimbal shot when showing the underslung mode. Love ya work brother! thank you.

[@capithom9724]

Jeven, I've built an entire studio watching you this year. My first bummer was watching this. I bought the Weebill and the quick connect. Like my usual geek, I bought 2 quick connects, maybe to use on my Crane V2. Duh, it takes 2 quick connect male ends and 1 female end to set up the handle like you did. You might want to mention details like that when you have them. It would be helpful.

[@thegrowthwallahsystem]

Thanks man - that was a super informative review. I'll pick one up now!

[@YourJapans]

Is it me, or most of the footage is shaky?

[@smdvisionphotography]

No ..its a post edit feature.

[@PaulFeinberg]

My Weebill S will be here today! Can't wait.

[@ElmarHarbecke]

Nice review. Thanks for some usefull insights. Important for me was the info about the setup with the GH5. I am using a A2k and it doesn't fit my GH5 very well. Also, I like the possible carrying modes with two hands in different layers/levels on the gimbal - think this offers more smooth handling. One open question please: how is the latency in the transmission of the gimbal app? Thanks, and keep creating.

[@JeffStrawBranding]

After getting my hands on this to shoot with Jeven for this video, and doing a TON more research on what would work well with my Canon EOS R and lens setup (I prefer a fairly heavy 24-70 f/2.8 for my wide stuff), I pulled the trigger and bought my own. I'm quite happy with it so far and love how portable it is and easy to balance for a gimbal newbie like myself.

[@conraddevera]

Hey man, I'm new to these and looking for a gimbal. I know that this is smaller than say ronin, but the app is not as good. How is it without using the app?

[@JeffStrawBranding]

Cons29 I don’t even use the app (at least so far) to be completely honest. So for me that was a non-factor.

[@conraddevera]

@@JeffStrawBranding have you experienced any, what's the term, jittery?

[@JeffStrawBranding]

Cons29 I think you’ll get a smal amount of jitter with any small handheld gimbal in this class. But the more you shoot with it, the better accustomed you get to using it to provide great smooth footage.

[@conraddevera]

Jeff Straw Branding I guess you’re right, as long as it’s not an annoying jitter

[@vantagepointproducts2157]

Great video. With the single transmitter and gimbal can you get live video viewing and camera control (LANC and PTR) all on same phone screen? It looked separated in the video. Thanks.

[@evenaicantfigurethisout]

The footage looks jittery. I think the motors are having trouble keeping up with the size and/or weight of that 10-25. Either that or it's not been balanced properly.

[@yourvisionstudios]

Facts

[@RockWILK]

Great video. And I LOVE this gimbal. So awesome to use. Thanks for sharing.

[@FernandoDeLaCruzProductionsLLC]

This is sick right now I have the crane plus but was thinking of getting something lighter ! Thanks for this video bro !

[@sebfleebee]

Some videos I've watched of this gimbal it looks incredible, on others it looks jittery. This one was jittery! I've seen it working great with GH5 Sigma 18-35!

[@CC-gt3ro]

Where is it jittery. I don’t see the same video than you.

[@esau817]

As someone who owns this gimbal, I can confirm it'll deliver shaky footage.

[@vasiliskarkalas]

I'm in search of gimbal and you just convinced me to order this one.

[@afaheevideography4119]

Thank u very much boss I was looking for a video like this to get all functions all r making short video that how it’s working I have one question remaining boss the FN button what is the use of that go mode

[@kidstagram354]

Nice effect at 4:35 like the Beats Advertisement.

[@joesworld933]

Thank you. Keep it up with the good videos. I really appreciate it.

[@vicrobinson1366]

Very well explained

[@jackryder6732]

Very well together. Thanks. I have a 7iii. What is the max lens weight I can go with.

[@ItsmeJenagain]

Would this travel well inside a camera bag? I would not be able to carry both the case and my camera bag onto flights, so I would need to be able to pack it with my other gear. Thanks for the great video!

[@wilson97128]

Hello thanks for the explanations! Can you make a video explaining the function of your Tracking with the Panasonic Lumix S5,please?!

[@kriszhli]

Nice review! I have a specific question, for the same price do you think I should get two tripods or one with two quick release plates?

[@tiewlarun8043]

Nice plan to get one

[@The_Principles]

Another great review Jeven!

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Excellent presentation ... as ALWAYS ... .

[@curt8116]

Thanks for your review. Do you know if there is a way to program a routine so the gimbal would follow exactly the same rotation sequence whenever you start it? like a glambot but obviously only doing rotations.

[@TomSundayGames]

Thanks for the information Jeven! I have a Sony A6400 and want to run and gun with my Sigma 16mm. I am buying this via your link. Appreciate all of the info!

[@abhijeetkurup3012]

I'm going to buy this, thanks Jeven🍻

[@BenjaminKanarek]

Just ordered mine. I also have the Crane 2...but this is so much smaller.

[@supitsaaron1]

Awesome video I bought the weebill lab like a month before this thing got released regretting it now 😑

[@pwhatley]

the giant quick releases are awesome, thanks for pointing those out.

[@thetravellingroots4446]

Do I have to get the 1080P wireless transmitter separately??

[@RomanSudarikov]

Thank you very much for informative review! I got from it a lot of new information which was missing in other reviews, especially about app functionality. There is one thing which I would like to know but there is no one seems to be trying it in reviews. Can I use this gimbal with a mic on the top of the camera? I have quite big mics. I wonder will it be possible balance the weebill s with rode stereo video mic x mounted on it, or if there is any other reasonable place to attach a mic.

[@touleeyang4640]

Where did you get those giant quick releases from? Can you put the link here?

[@leighrieder3717]

Hi Jeven - great video as always. If you had to choose a gimbal that is say ONE step better than the Weebill S, what would you suggest?. I suppose I'm looking for an answer that compares price vs stability ... thanks as always :)

[@jackzhu2443]

hi, do you recommend buying the image transmission module along with the gimbal? thank you

[@vaiseutong5790]

can anyone help me this problem i got... i just got the zhiyun weebil S and i'm using it with XT3 and 35mm F.14 and i got some shaky footage. please tell how to slove this problem thanks you so much

[@markymarc177]

Excellent review !! Thank you! A question on the feature on the side of the handle : Is the focus wheel on the Zhiyun Weebill S compatible with the GH5 ? Also, is there a "follow focus feature" on the gimbal? Is the GH5 what controls the focus , or the gimbal control the focus, or both? Do you think its beneficial to get the "focus pro package" with the Weebill S ? The "TransMount Servo Zoom / Focus controller that connects to the Lens to adjust the zoom. I plan to film in a similar way that you mentioned, and for me, I'll mainly use wide angle lens for skateboarding, landscape etc. I wasnt sure whether the follow focus package would be beneficial to have. Would greatly appreciate any recommendations and insight !!

[@trungle6443]

Hi Jeven, Any chance you can do a video how to put Canon EOS R with Ef 24-70 f2.8. I’m having problem with viewfinder touch the gimbal. :( thank you

[@andrewdurham909]

Hi, great video. is this gimbal compatible with the Nikon D7500?

[@stephenmorgan2975]

Hi had the original weebill lasted for three weeks then the locking axis stooped working returned it for the ronin .The ronin build quality is a league above the cheap plastic weebil with bad software.

[@MrOmniscience]

Thanks for this. I'm still on the fence between getting this, Ronin S and the Feiyutech AK2000. What do y'all think? I want to use them mostly for filmmaking and music videos; but, I have a light setup(GH5 w/prime lenses). Thanks again.

[@BrendanWhelan]

could I mount an iPhone onto this? I have an iPhone XS Max + Moment lenses and it's just too big and too much weight for all smartphone gimbals. I have a Fujifilm XT3 also so would use it for both.. Thanks!

[@SmartHomeLearning]

awesome footage shot

[@ratt57]

Great review!! Will this work with a smartphone cage?

[@HanzifHasifGamingGrounD]

hye...can i know the wireless video transmitter model please ?

[@MarcParisel]

Jeven, between weebill S and Lab 3, which one would you choose in terms of performance not considering the size of it? The huge difference seems to be the wireless which allows to remotely control the camera itself? Does it control follow focus when your shooting with manual focus? That’s makes a lot of questions hehe. Cheers and thanks for the content :))

[@waynosfotos]

Man just bought the AK4500 feiyuTech, on your recommendation. Which seems good, but is bigger. Happy with it but how does it compare?

[@extremefilm]

Great video, did you use the focus wheel at any point? does it work well with gh5?

[@dosfeos805]

Do you think the weebill lab is as good or would it be better just to go straight for the s?

[@mitp2514]

Great video.. How does it work out with the Sony a7iii

[@pwr24]

Do you prefer this or the ak 4500 if you could only choose 1?

[@flashheart69]

Can this still be used with a compact camera? Canon gx7 mark iii

[@tracyfutch3980]

Hey question will this gemble support a panasonic g7 mirrorless camera and a sigma 18-35 lens or is that to heavy, and will a crane 3 be better

[@lifetimestoriesphotography]

Looking to invest in a second hand one ..Will this still be ok fin 2023 for a newbie?

[@oruvarietymedia2510]

hi Can i Use canon 6D mark 2 along with 24-105 lens (kit lens) on it ? please replay me

[@FirstEntertainmentSG]

Hi Jeven! I might have missed it but could you guide me to a link to purchase the 2 rounded quick release plate you mentioned?

[@kayizijoel1167]

can u view live footage while operating sync motion on the phone?

[@CreativeRamy]

Does this have a subject tracking mode? Like what DJI SC has? Follows and lock on the subject?

[@expeditionsinsound2202]

So far my test with the Weebill-S and the Panasonic Lumix S1 with the 24- 105mm f4 are going well.

[@kismet77]

Hey jeven, I have the weebil lab and the Sony ax43. Can you tell me why all gimbals are made for picture cameras and none for camcorders?

[@videopat3285]

Nice video.. thanks

[@Ramtea87]

Will it worked with cnon 5d mark iv + Canon 24-105 lens

[@FranzDurst]

Hi Jeven…Can the Transmiter from Weebill 2 on Weebill S also be used?

[@oneman49instruments]

Thanks for sharing!

[@satatiitb]

At present it's not compatible with nikon d5500 with 18-140 lens.... any update of software gor this camera?

[@GalihAnggaPutra]

Hii, I want to ask, for quick release tripod, I have to buy two or one?

[@studiotrics]

Does it support sony a73 with 24 - 105 ? Pls csn u make a video

[@rusjazz86]

Please say how to turn on Standby mode for firmware update.

[@beary288]

Hi, does it support the Nikon D810 with AF-S 20mm f/1.8G lens? Thanks in advance...

[@adipop]

@Jeven Dovey great video!

[@papijelly]

So if I could get the Robin S with the discount for blackfriday plus a 10% student discount which will make it the same price as the wheebel S would it then make sense to buy the Robin or the wheebel S as it's a bit lighter ( I do shoot a DSLR ,t7i) also the wheebel has axis locks !! Idk now any ideas

[@ericd6791]

Link to the Quick Releases that you use?

[@DavidSenteno]

Someday my friends...someday. Right now my budget says lens before Gimbal. 🐼👍🏽

[@FernandoDeLaCruzProductionsLLC]

[@jesse_cole]

[@SamehMontaserDirector]

[@theaverageguy3884]

How do this Gimbal work with the Canon M50 ?

[@ayanbanerjeefilms]

Can I use Nikon D750 with 50mm in this Weebill S?

[@theeternallystoked]

can you move the weebill s left to right with joystick?

[@Winch_Offroad]

I need a gimble so bad, I think ti would help my KZbin channel and the video quality a lot.

[@habitantefuturista]

Is it possible use it with a Hasselblad h6d400c camera?

[@Blankfbuser]

can i use a GH4 in it? why does it say its ONLY compatible with the GH5?

[@TaylorTheTraveler]

Hey how do you use your phone as an external monitor? I just got the Weebill S and a Sonya7sii. I don't have the image transmission module but I can't find it for sale anywhere. Is there anyway to use my phone as a monitor right now? Also I just uploaded my first travel video about brazil if anyone wants to check it out and give feedback!!

[@MagicGateCinema]

Hi, Very cool video. Weebill S still leaves much to be desired when it comes to stability. All this time the image is rocking and swaying. Still, he really lacks much for proper stabilization. So, in terms of stability, little has changed as you can see. It is a pity because the construction is interesting. However, it seems to me that it will not be accepted. I have friends who have Zhiyun Weebill (first version) and when they compare the quality of shots with Ronin S or Ronin SC they drop their jaws for surprise that it can be done at all. Compared to Ronin SC, Weebill appears to be damaged. This is not a good stabilization ... I have watched some movies (except sponsored from Zhiyun) and it is still the same problem as you can see. It's a bit better but it's still poor stabilization.

[@CoachAnthonyMiller]

+Jeven Dovey, does the Ronin S or the Ronin SC do motion tracking?

[@mrityunjaypatar4857]

Is this weebill s gimbal compatible with Nikon D7100

[@ericd6791]

Will this hold a Panasonic FZ2500?

[@husungtagaltaiwan]

Can it be worked in Nikon camera,just like Nikon D500.

[@RonaldBrown59]

I don’t what to get, the Weebill S or the Ronin Sc. Great review, after seeing this video I’m leaning towards Weebill.

[@JevenDovey]

Each have their good features but I do like the Weebill S. It works well and I like the back handle

[@mohammedehsan4148]

Can it hold lumix s1 with 24-105 lens?

[@ikrarputra2685]

Will it work with 18-35 ?

[@mtstans]

probably the best review and usage for a gimbal I've ever seen. Great job man!
