Is the Zhiyun Weebill S the perfect gimbal for mirrorless cameras and DSLRs? I was looking for a small and portable 3-axis gimbal that would work with a variety of setups, offer great functionality, work right out of the box and still be affordable.
Let’s take a closer look at the #zhiyun #weebills 3-axis #gimbal and see if it delivers!
Could this be the perfect gimbal for mirrorless cameras? You tell me.

[@eddu4361]

It’s a beast of a gimbal for a relatively small price in a small package. After using it only for a few hours I already was completely in love with it.

[@TechGearTalk]

Ed, I couldn't agree more. I think right now this may still be the most underrated gimbal on the market. Appreciate you sharing you experience!

[@TechGearTalk]

⭐️ Order the Zhiyun Weebill S: geni.us/UOACzSh (affiliate) What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the new Zhiyun Weebill-S helpful. Did you like it? I wasn’t sure what to expect from this gimbal because it’s smaller than others I’ve had, but the performance was outstanding! NOTE: got some feedback from viewers. I should have show more real-time footage to show that I didn’t experience microjitters. I almost exclusively use gimbal footage at 50% speed, but other people do not. I will incorporate into future reviews. Would this work for your setup? If you have questions about a particular camera+lens combo, ask me below. Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏

Why were all your shots in slow motion? We need real time footage to see if there are micro jitters and other imperfects.

[@TechGearTalk]

Someone else mentioned this. That makes sense. I’ll incorporate more with the next gimbal review. Appreciate the feedback.

[@rgsauve]

That's exactly what I came on here to say. Need real time footage. Slow motion does nothing for me. The rest of the review is great though.

[@educatetube]

Exactly. Slow motion hides the jittery imperfection. I can use my Sony a7r3 camera without gimbal at 120fps and slow it down to 240fps with optical flow software and it looks just as good without spending several hundred dollars on gimbal.

[@meriredetripsandclicks3153]

I agree with the real time motion request. In the meanwhile, you can play the video at twice the speed in KZbin if you want.

[@meriredetripsandclicks3153]

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad I could help. The best answer here is to test it. I've read conflicting reports with different gimbals and camera/lens combos.

[@anthonyptang]

Thank you for the informative video. My understanding of the wireless transmission module can only transmit 1080p @30fps. My question is does this mean my camera record settings has to correspond to 1080p or can I still record at 4k?

Hi Anthony - you can still record in 4K because you're only using the transmission for monitoring. Does that make sense?

Thanks for the great videos. Just subscribed. Quick question: What gimbal would you recommend with the Canon SL2 (200D) for shooting real estate videos indoors? Thanks in advance :)

Thank you for the support. This would be a fantastic option. Because the SL2 is so light, you can only use it with lighter lenses (which is fine) or with a counterweight. I really enjoyed using this gimbal. Hope that helps.

[@Truffleshuffle18]

Great review. The follow focus, is it a new module or is the Weebill S compatible with the older follow focus? And if so, which one?

You're very welcome Gabe. Yes, I have seen it used with the BMPCC4K.

[@frankvet1]

Yeah-but…. I’m learning how to use my new Weebill S gimbal but having a frustrating time with PANNING! 1- is it normal, during panning, that as I horizontally turn the handle of the Weebill, the camera LAGS behind slightly? 2- I’m getting a rhythmic motion where the resultant video LAGS, then CATCHES UP in the direction of the pan, then LAGS, then CATCHES UP. I am turning the handle on a steady and slow rate (to the right for example). Quite frustrating.

[@xNox72]

Is it possible, maybe using specific settings, to use a gimbal to record a smoother walking footage without making it look too unnatural or cinematic like? What I have in mind is typically exploring a place holding a camera, you want to remove as many micro jitters as possible but still have it look rather natural with slight bumps when you're walking etc. Using a non IBIS camera + non OSS lens, could a gimbal achieve this or is there any other kind of gear more suited for this use case?

[@TechGearTalk]

It's a little hard to answer because "natural with slight bumps" could mean different things. I think it will work perfectly with the setup you're describing (no IBIS or OSS)

[@mattycreative]

I really enjoyed this, and I really like your channel! (and, the fact that you're in CLE and I'm in Akron is cool!) I'd love to watch a vid of your suggested set-up for this gimbal, as well as any tips/tricks. This is my first gimbal, so I'm getting used to it. Thanks! (Go Browns!)

[@rashipachi]

how to choose the correct brushless gimbal motor size for my design? it depends the torque?? or the weight the company specifies?

[@jKHAHN215PA]

With the ronin sc the biggest lenses I have on my m50 is a sigma 16mm will it balance well and does have any restrictions like hitting the back with any titling and adjusting with the long heavy 16mm sigma lenses. Also would you agree the build of the weebill isn’t as durable as the ronin sc ??

[@TechGearTalk]

It will work and balance. You'll need a cage ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXa2m6mZad9npKM ) or a riser plate so that the lens doesn't hit the quick release plate. No restrictions. I have no issues with the build quality of the WBS. I haven't seen the SC in a while, it is very well built for sure (but overkill for the M50 in my opinion)

[@thewedingstorytellerthewed621]

Hi...Have you ever used any light weight set up with Weebil S like Sony 6300 with kit lens....I am trying to use 6300 with sigma 30 mm 1.4 but gimbal is vibrating...but with heavy setup is working fine...please suggest any solution....Thanks in advance.

I like the handling better on this one, but I like the app better on the SC. I don't believe this has active track.

Also it says up to 1800g but i'm only around 1044g with the m50, aps-c adapter, and a sigma 30mm f1.4 and some times it starts vibrating a lot like it can't handle the weight.

Thank you for the review. My original weebill lab would start rattling for no good reason even when stationary on a table. This despite perfect balancing, tightened bolts, and properly adjusted motor strength. The guys at Mcbain camera shop were alarmed with how bad it rattled their counter-top and after playing with the settings for an hour, promptly exchanged it for another one....which btw did the exact same thing just on a lesser scale. It has rendered so many event shots absolutely useless. Now I'm stuck with a Weebill that I'm not interested in using ever again and have gone handheld. Not interested in spending another $700 on another Weebill lab kit. Any advice, sir?

That sounds terrible. Did Zhiyun do nothing about it? If you do let like this one, you can get a dji Ronin s or sc. or a MOZA aircross 2 or air 2. Hope this helps.

@@TechGearTalk I got no reply from zhiyun. I'm not interested in wasting more money on gimbals. Spending more money isnt the answer.

[@TechGearTalk]

No support would be an issue for me.

Can i use this with GoPro 8 or iphoneX? Im very new with gimbal.. I need gimbal that i can use for sony a6000, gopro8 and iphoneX. Thanks in advance!

Hi Vivian. I have not tried such a light setup with this gimbal because I use the Zhiyun M2 for action cameras and phones (it's so much smaller). I'm pretty sure I've seen someone use a gopro on it, but I have not. If I get a chance, I'll give it a shot and update this thread.

[@curiousquartet5614]

Have you tried the gimbal with Canon 90D or other Canon SLR? Is there enough clearance? Do all the function work?

[@TechGearTalk]

If I remember correctly that camera is in the video.

[@rvdxpress]

That looks really fantastic as well. Something small would be more suitable for me. Fantastic review!

[@TechGearTalk]

Glad it was helpful!

Hello, nice footage! Does it work with a Panasonic HC 1500E? Thank you!

[@voltibyelienakouzi4842]

Does it work with canon 5d mark iii and 24:70 f 2.8?

Hi Sagi, another super video with frank and honest feedback on the gimbal. Looks great and the price point feels right. Zhiyun are really coming out with great products with nice innovations focused on what creators actually need. This looks like a great pairing for the Canon M50. Cheers from the UK.

[@TechGearTalk]

Thanks you two! I really like the ability to change the position of the handle. It’s a much more compact orientation. Yes, it’s definitely nice to see Zhiyun respond to actual needs. This crushes it with the M50. I’m also testing the M2 with the m50. Less functionality, but SO small!!!

[@RaySuesTravelChannel]

Look forward to your M2 review with baited breath Sagi.

[@TechGearTalk]

I need more time! As soon as I win the lottery (which I don’t play) I’ll do this full time 😂🤣

[@Embalados]

In comparison to the ronin sc, how about stabilization? I see upgradeability being a nobrainer for this one as it supports bigger cameras, thanks for another high quality content

[@TechGearTalk]

I would say they are similar, but I like the handling is this one better.

[@joeljokuttan5926]

Can i use 5D mark 4 & 24-105 lens with this gimbal??

[@RonaldBrown59]

Good review, and thanks for sharing.

[@TechGearTalk]

Super glad it was helpful Ron - thanks for being part of the community!

Do you know if this works with Nikon D7500? Thanks
