Review on 📷 Zhiyun WEEBILL 2 Stabilizer: Standard Package Gimbal for DSLR & Mirrorless Cameras by Christina Ford

Update: It is compatible with Zhiyun TransMount Quick Setup Adapter. There is a review on YouTube saying it is not compatible as the adapter dims the flip screen. In my test, however, the screen still folded back easily after installing the adapter. The Weebill 2 weighs 3.2 pounds and is 16 inches tall. It's a pound heavier than the Weebill S and slightly larger. However, the build quality is much better. Most of the stabilizer body is now metal. It looks much more durable and can be used for heavy duty tasks while maintaining a compact footprint. I've never had an issue with the Weebill S payload and the Weebill 2 has an even higher payload. Zhiyun has stopped listing the official payload, but you shouldn't have any trouble using the Weebill 2 with BMPCC cameras. The gimbal locks are also much stronger. Weebill 2 uses a new Infineon sensor with two filters and a vector sharing interrupt. In principle, this means that any microjitter can be compensated for. Comparing my test shots of Weebill 2 and Weebill SI, Weebill 2 shot is more stable. In this case the difference isn't very obvious, but that's because I used the lighting setting. If you have a heavier setup you should be able to easily tell the difference. Weebill's biggest feature is probably its fold-out screen. I don't have a video transmitter, so I can't test the image transmission function, but the screen makes it a lot easier to set up the settings. It's a very bright touchscreen with excellent responsiveness. The menu design is simple and clear. You can change almost any gimbal setting with just a few taps on the screen. You can adjust the screen angle from 45 degrees face-on to 90 degrees face-down. Weebill 2 has moved all control buttons and joystick to the left side of the handle to avoid mishandling when holding the handle. I really like the design of the joystick which makes it very easy to precisely control the movement speed. Weebill 2 now uses a built-in rechargeable battery. In my test with a PD charger, I can get about 25% battery charge in 20 minutes of charging. According to Zhiyong, a full charge takes 90 minutes and the battery lasts 9 hours. However, proper camera balance is very important to maximize battery life. You can also charge the battery while using the gimbal with the USB-C cable. In summary, Weebill 2 is a combination of Crane 2 and Weebill S, offering a heavier payload and solid build quality while maintaining a compact size. . The flip screen and menu design make it easy to change any gimbal setting. And above all very stable. I would definitely recommend it!
