Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Zhiyun WEEBILL S Gimbal Stabilizer for Sony A7R3, Canon 5D4, Nikon Z6, Panasonic GH5 & More: 3-Axis-Zhiyun-Weebill-S by Mark Erandio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great addition to Zhiyun's line of Stabilizers

Check out my quick unbox and quick view video with this written review. I had 3 stabilizers including this one; Crane V2, Crane 2 and now the brand new WEEBILL LAB. I can say I'm impressed so far because it's just as easy to set up and use as the Crane 2 and much quicker to set up than the Crane V2. Zhiyun continues to innovate in both technology and design. about the size of a Crane 2 and much lighter. It will be much easier to carry around on long video shoots or just in a backpack. With the included camera strap, you can easily take breaks without worrying about where to place the gimbal. You also don't have to worry about accidentally dropping it. Because of its small size, you can also pack it in a small bag with a camera and a few lenses for a more modest look. Being smaller it will take a while to get used to maneuvering compared to, say, the Crane 2. It's very easy to switch to suspension mode compared to previous models. I think this is the most popular stabilizer position. WARNING. The basic package does NOT include a phone holder. Many people were confused because most of the ads show a hanger with a holder. This is a separate accessory that you must purchase. I advise you to buy the Creator Package. It comes with several VERY useful items to have in your filmmaking arsenal. If you don't have money, you can buy it over time; sequentially. Monopod ($90), Camera Strap ($25), Tracking Focus ($90), Quick Release Adapter ($20), Phone Holder ($50). I didn't have to learn, I just took it, I could understand it and start testing. I have no complaints yet. This will be my walking and shooting gimbal. I'll probably always have it in my car, ready to take pictures when I need it. If this is your very first stabilizer it will take around 30 minutes to get started. There are many tutorials to look for. This is easy to understand for tech-savvy people.
