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 Shaun Stapp

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not a killer DJI Ronin SC, but victorious in many ways.

I have been using original Zhiyun V2 and Ronin S, SC for a long time. The long arm design of the Weebil S will surely pave the way for future portable stabilizers, making it easy to transition from a low line angle to eye level in seconds. Love all the ways to connect accessories to the Weebil S with some extra parts from other brands. The 12 hour battery is what I left DJI Zhiyun now and in previous generations. Zhiyun has also caught up with DJI in terms of app design and reliability. The disadvantages of the stabilizer, firstly, are unnecessary coloring and text for professional cases. When pumping, the camera doesn't hold and recover as quickly as DJI gimbals. The general materials still feel plasticky, although they've improved over the past generations. Auto-tuning the motors doesn't help much, while at DJI it's one of the most reliable ways to rebalance. I have no problem pressing buttons accidentally, but some of my colleagues do. There are many innovations in this stabilizer, and for that I appreciate Zhiyun, although sometimes he was always caught up by the competition.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Only available in white
