Zhiyun Weebill 3 vs DJI RS3 // Budget gimbal face off

[@chrisbrockhurst]

*Correction*. The RS3 doesn't come with the handle at the base price.

[@joshualaird5303]

or the case.. great vid though... new sub :)

[@hasanagera]

Great 'budget' gimbal comparison.

[@jeancine914]

Its obvious that the Dji seems to be more interesting...but I dont like the way you present the Weebill, you just denigrate all his aspects in a not very honest way, and in "drama way" too actually, (to not to mention other words) : Put brutally the cam on the gim to show is not so fast, or to talk about the handgrip, many times, "to small"(but its the same in the Dji, we are not blind, not more place) ; and you "test" staying sit...what the point ? I never watch a true good review of a gim remaining steated etc etc...I watch some reviews and when its deals with Dji Gimbals some filmakers become very quickly derogative with the others. Its not serious...

[@planetlp]

Its super hard to find a good honest non bias gimbal review but at the end of the day its there review just go somewhere else and find someone who prefers the weebil

I am considering the dji latest gimbal because of the payload but more specifically because of the technology. I am still using the original ronin S but I will update for sure to use the LiDAR feature as it will save you when you have to perform some shots with vintage/cine lenses. Otherwise all gimbals are excellent even if you don’t have a big budget to buy one. The only thing is price is linked to features that are supposed to ease your filmmaking life so it’s up to you to decide if you are okay to do things without these benefits (auto lock vs manual lock, wired control vs Bluetooth control etc). You have to measure the level of arduousness you agree to with me.

[@violettamae9388]

For what need auto lock and why manual auto lock is bad?

[@camillesaintcharles]

@@violettamae9388 I did not say that auto lock is bad. All I said was “don’t buy the rs3 or rs3 pro only if you want the auto lock feature. You can lock each axis on the rs2 manually which is not a big deal. The only reasons why you should consider a gimbal would be linked to weight and “useful” features such as “providing autofocus to cine/manual lens” but not just on feature you can do yourself

[@violettamae9388]

@@camillesaintcharles sorry I meant why exactly auto lock is important? I just need to buy a glimbal and I don't understand why I need auto lock

[@camillesaintcharles]

@@violettamae9388 auto lock is important if you move a lot around with your gimbal. Instead of having to lock each axis manually each time, you can just press the on/off button and all axes are locked so that your camera stays in place when you are moving

Great video. I'm curious about how you handle lighting in your real estate shots. Do you just rely on natural light and the lights inside the house? Seems like it would be hard to bring in lights and then try to move around them with a gimbal.

[@WalterSMM2]

I can't belive I just wasted my time. I watched this whole review just to find out the DJI is nearly $600. In what world in what field is that ever budget? So disingenuous to not outright specify the prices at the start of the video.

[@yeanisch]

Guy, there aren't any good gimbals under €100. I don't know what you were looking for back then but it seems you were looking for a broomstick with your underwear tied to it. That's the only true budget gimbal I know of. Photography and filmmaking costs money, as does every hobby.

[@taras9513]

thanks! finally a real user comparison, super helpful video!

[@colin_rootz]

Great video Chris! Thanks! I hope DJI changed the gear track on the adjustment baseplate to metal (from plastic). A few teeth on the one for my RS2 Pro got stripped somehow so there's a bit of a gap, but luckily I can still balance it.

[@RajinderYadav]

Found the comparison helpful, ya what was Zhiyun thinking? this is what you call over-engineeing or designing for a proble that doesn't exit.

[@JZWANSHEYING]

Zhiyun Weebill 3 is always on sale; the combo is $395 if you are a new customer. Zhiyun is good for single creator.

Again sheer excellence from you Chris! Thanks so much! I especially liked that you used comparison-it help to understand features more clearly. 💛🙏🏽

[@PrinasStudios]

Thanks for the review. I’m about to order for the Dji rs3 but I don’t know if it will balance my Lumix gh5 with Viltrox and sigma 18-35mm?? The Dji rs3 pro is way beyond my budget. Do you think the dji rs3 will work fine with my setup?

What about MANFROTTO MVG300XM MODULAR GIMBAL. Any review on that.

[@lipc70]

Yeah! Combined with gimboom is a unique tool.

[@winterkat8693]

I still feel like the weebill s was the best choice at the time and compared to todays zhiyuns new gimbals. but compared todays gimbals, I think DJI is the best choice. just a gimbal with simple functions.

[@Michael-dx8qz]

Exactly, I wish DJI made a gimbal that is as light and tiny as the Weebill S.

[@winterkat8693]

@@Michael-dx8qz oh yeah ! completely agreed. used my a7s3 on a ronin rsc (the cheeper one) and couldnt hold it for 5 mins. with my weebill s I just did a 12 hour shoot and no problems.

[@scottlee4664]

@@Michael-dx8qz your wish came true. Rs mini is here

[@vasildilov4268]

It takes two seconds to find out on Google how to activate sleep mode. Sorry, but that is lazy. Also, Weebill 3 does not support a Bluethoot shutter. What is also important is that the Bluetooth on the DJI works primarily with Sony cameras. With Panasonic for example, you have cable control only.

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

How long before they try to ban the DJI gimbal?

[@MasoodJamal]

What do you think about Zhiyun Crane M3 with Sony ZV-E10 and Sony 11mm F.8 lens for real estate videography because of light weight ? Also please share your real estate videos link

[@LuisAlvarez-fj5ny]

which one would be the best for quickly switching from horizontal to vertical mode? everybody wants reel now a day...

[@JoeMustang99]

I'm still happy with an RS2, but this was still an informative video. Thanks.

The RS3 and RS3 Pro..is it capable of setting up a "portrait/vertical" orientation?..

[@lymanmedeiros903]

hello - are there any gimbals for prosumer camcorders? Today its all about Dslr's. i'm old school. thank you

[@GET0V3RHERE]

This was very helpful

[@mrtyreus0]

Could they handle a the weight of a Nikon D4 with some older heavy glass?

[@manilamartin1001]

The weebil is a great gimbal. Unfortunately for them, the RS3 is absolutely killing it. I might have to upgrade this year from my 7 year old gimbal.

[@GabrielGratton]

Great video man!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

thanks for watching!

[@jirosaves_theworld]

not gonna lie, RS3 design for people who like to "mod" (like using it together with steadycam or rigging like tilta float, tilta ring etc) while zhiyun more like a people who like "gimmick" i admit both are great with pros and cons but me personally always choose RS3 because that battery grip could be removed easily

[@chrisbrockhurst]

🙏🏼

[@KoiAquaponics]

What's a good one that has removal battery? I use the Zhiyun Weebill S and carrying 2 sets of battery is nice.

[@kianlechner]

[@jan-martinulvag1962]

can you take a picture too from the handle?

[@markshirley01]

Chris is it possible to use a DSLR on these gimbals, I have a Nikon D750 and would have to prefocus the camera

[@digitalmedia425]

Hello, Does the dji also have the option to use a cable? ONly asking because I have an old camera that does not have bluetooth

[@ignorantboxing]

How do you shoot vertical on the dji?

[@joseortiz-sr4jl]

I am trying find a gimbal to fit my Canon EOS 77D, do you know which is the best option with full compatibility?

[@keeganvanluven5978]

So for almost $100 cheaper you get the same gimball performance and more features. Everything else is objective. What started as an homest review turned into a dji fanboy extravaganza.

[@agenericaccount3935]

Zhiwho? I don't acknowledge tools that get in the way of doing the job. "Temperamental". That calibration glitch was brutal.

[@robinfellows-weir3734]

This is really strange from Zhiyun - it even seems a downgrade from the Weebill 2 or even the S in some ways! A completely different direction to the one they were heading in. I wonder if they've got a new management team or something. Definitely DJI for me next time, thanks Chris!

[@chrissan6015]

i bought the zhiyun2 and wish i would of bought the rs3. theres so much more 3 party attachments via dji

[@danivictoria_]

You are bullying the other gimbal all the time 😂 is funny

[@JerryMacHomes]

Thanks for the video. Would you or anyone else know if either of these would work with the Panasonic GH3? My daughter ONLY needs it for balancing. Not Bluetooth or connecting. Just balance for making SMOOTH short films for school. Thanks

[@clifftjr]

Would i be ok with the rs3 using an a7iv w/cage mic and maybe and monitor or go with the pro?

[@felm.974]

Is either of these good for vertical videos or do you recommend another one?

[@bimatvug]

You made me love the Weebil, you seem to hate it so much, I felt pity for it. But you are brutal and harsh. It is not a face off if the judge already had a side, this face off started 1:0 for the Ronin so it's not a fair match surely, otherwise it's still factually clear that the Ronin RS3 is better gimbal. Thanks for the content.

[@ccow11]

Note: the DJI doesn't come with the handle - at least not mine and not on their site

[@joshknarr9245]

Yes, you have to buy the $719.00 combo with the focus motor to get the case and handle. Which is worth the extra money IMO.

[@ccow11]

Also - I got the ulanzi uurig handle which I think is $10 less than the dji one and includes the suitcase-side handle quick switching hinge. It is great and quality feels solid 👍

[@BeyondtheMovingPictureStudios]

That weebill design looks awkward. I've used the weebill s. Great product. After the Weebill s. They made very strange design choices. Eventually I upgraded to the crane 2s. The arms felt very weak. I recently used the RS3 pro for a wine store shoot. Honestly, I love the build quality, smoothness, and uncomplicated setup and design. That new weebill looks like a 2003 Honda Civic trying to be an innovative weebill s 2.0 but it's just got a bunch of stupid accessories on it.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

It has some Interesting concepts and ideas, just not really needed 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@anthonydavis2623]

What do you think about these gimbals? Watch the video

[@goldanhour]

Just wanted to sound off on the RS3, it's a great pickup and I just used it on a shoot this weekend! However, if you buy just the Gimbal package, which is the $549 version, it does not come with the briefcase handle or softcase. Just wanted people to know that because that $549 cost goes up if you need the briefcase handle and some sort of case.

[@BrownDaddy007]

DJI, like all of their products, gouges the consumer on price.

I bought a Zhiyun Smooth Q gimbal in 2017. It stopped working just outside the warranty. Loads of others with this problem. It was the batteries. Zhiyun did nothing. Wouldn't buy anything else from them.

I completely understand what are you telling in this video but if you want to get the transmission system you need to get the pro version and it's almost double the price this is why I choose to go with the Weebil 3. I want a small gimbal no something so big like the DJI

You realize they are nearly the same size right?
