ZHIYUN WEEBILL 3E - Good Enough for PROS?

[@garyflom]

16 hours of battery life! Impressive, considering how compact the whole unit is.

[@RickyCheung]

16hrs more the enough for days shoot and I never even power off during idle. Just gotta remember to balance correctly and motors won't stress on idle.

Não consegui calibrar o meu no modo retrato 😢 Sony a7c + sigma 24-70

[@RickyCheung]

You probably need to run a counter weight on the tilt axis and you’ll be ok. It has limited cradle movement but only way to keep it so small.

[@yankfr]

Thank you for this video! Do you think it supports the R5C with a RF 24-70mm f2.8L (at 24mm) OR a RF 15-35mm f/2.8L? I'm desperately looking for a small and lightweight gimbal that can support the R5C for a high mountain project, for simple walking follow shots or circling around the subject, nothing crazy. Thank you 🙏

[@RickyCheung]

The R5C might be pushing it with 24-70. You’ll probably not get access for full rotation of the tilt arm. Cradle area might be too small.

[@RickyCheung]

Maybe the RS4 as the cradle was made a bit bigger.

[@yankfr]

​@@RickyCheung I found a few videos on KZbin where some guys manage to set up this configuration on the Weebill 3E, and it seems to work, even if, as you mentioned, I wouldn’t have access to all positions. The RS4 is unfortunately a bit too heavy and bulky. I’ll check out other Zihyun models-even if some are a few grams heavier, they seem more compact than the DJI ones. I’ll let you know if I succeed in a few months 🤗 Thanks!

[@palmaestudio1381]

hi! can you do the 360 pov motion with the 24 70 in this gimbal? thanks!

[@RickyCheung]

It should work fine at 24mm. Pushing in through the range and you’ll need a counter balance weight for initial balance. It wouldn’t do super fast action pack fight scene POV but it’ll work smooth motions.

[@RickyCheung]

What’s your favorite lightweight gimbal? Mine is 👆

[@diegopalma5123]

Please make a video of how to balance this with r5 and 24-70 with the limitations 😇🙏

[@RickyCheung]

I will considered a future gimbal balancing video. It seems alot of folks still aren't balancing right and really stress out motors.

[@diegopalma5123]

@@RickyCheung can you use it in briefcase mode snd use the 360 with the rf 24-70? Thanks!

[@RickyCheung]

​@@diegopalma5123 So given the 6.6lb payload, it will support the weight however, the RF 24-70 is sooo front heavy it will not go into briefcase mode at other than sticking to 24mm. Otherwords using RF 24-70 at 24mm BALANCED, you'll be find. If you try to mid-balance with the same RF 24-70 at 35mm-50mm-ish and pulling the plate back it will make contact with the eye-cup. I've tried different ways but I can't get it without counter weight.

[@diegopalma5123]

@@RickyCheung ah ok, so if i put some counterweight it will be possible. I am new into gimbal and the weight and size and price of this is a perfect fit but i will use it with the 24-70 as the main lens so i hope that would be fully possible…remove the eyecup wont be an option? Thanks for your time!!

[@RickyCheung]

@@diegopalma5123 you can not remove the eyecups on the R6/R5

[@saiteja9079]

Does it have quick access plate

[@RickyCheung]

Comes with zhiyun’s Manfrotto style quick release plate system but you can sandwich an arca Swiss as well as I have done.

[@diegopalma5123]

Hi! Will this work with Canon R5 and RF 24 -70 2.8? The list says can be balanced at 24mm (that means that only will work at 24mm? Thanks!

[@RickyCheung]

It will. I show it does in the video. You will not have full motion because arm unless you use a counter measure of somehow.

[@diegopalma5123]

Sorry i dont understand why no full motion. What do you mean because of arm? The eyecup touchi g the gimbal? Thanks

[@diegopalma5123]

You wont be able to do briefcase mode because of the eyecup touching the gimbal? Thanks

[@promedianz]

Where did you find that compatibility list? I can only find the cameras not the lenses!

[@RickyCheung]

Directly on Zhiyun’s site. www.zhiyun-tech.com/en/download/software/913/0?type=website&page=download_product&source=software

[@RickyCheung]

They are listed on the same page along with camera body.

[@C.Krisztián]

This or DJI ronin sc ?

[@RickyCheung]

Really depends on your camera setup. The Ronin has a payload of 4ish lbs I believe, the Weebill 3E will support 6.6lbs. Even with a 3lb camera setup for example I always opt for a bit more holding power, usually results in better control and balance when operating. However if you plan for third party support with add-on etc. DJI had a market for accessories and building up if you are searching for a simple gimbal that works and all you need it to do is provide smooth shots the Weebill 3E would be my pick. It’s smoother compared to even my crane 2s which is 3-4 years old now.

[@aaronestevezxd]

does it have active tracking?

[@RickyCheung]

The Weebill 3E does not support active tracking as there is no port for transmission. The Weebill 3E is a simplified gimbal going for smooth shoots and ergonomics.

[@aaronestevezxd]

@@RickyCheung ty man! do you know what recent gimbal does support it?

[@RickyCheung]

From Zhiyun from what I know the Weebill S and Crane 2S/3S maybe the newer Crane 4 as well as they have the transmission port
