A beast worth less than $500! in stabilizers

Weebill S is an amazing piece of hardware with many options to customize to your needs. This time I received the basic packages and I am very happy with it. However, I wish I had a separate viewfinder and focus tool to help me get the perfect shot. Quick-change base/handle mounts would be a great addition as you change your shooting style. Opening the box: Weebill comes in branded yet elegant packaging and every detail has its secure place in this packaging. Damn, with a little modification, the package can become a reliable case! The body of the Weebill S is made of durable plastic, as you would expect from most modern electronic devices. The locks are metal, I assume it's aluminum for strength without sacrificing weight or balance. Installation: First, I attached the camera to the adapter using one of the three thumbscrews that came with it. From there, I attached it to the adjustable arm using the other two thumbscrews that came with it. Like any other gimbal, the camera needs to be balanced so it doesn't overload the motor. The presence of three independently fixed axes greatly simplified the task. I've attached a Canon 6D with a 24 105 lens and wanted to try something beefy to experience the Weebill. Remarkably, it was balanced on the first try and worked flawlessly! Our management is simple. Based on previous experiences with its little brother, the Crane M2, I had a basic understanding of how the modes work. Pan follow, full follow, lock and POV. Each is adjustable, so you can set the motors to follow your movements exactly how you want them to. At less than $500, this gimbal is a steal! I highly recommend it.

Pros
