How To Easily Balance a Gimbal | Zhiyun Weebill 3S/3E Comparison
Weebill 3S: geni.us/WB3S-HTFW
Weebill 3E: geni.us/WB3E-HTFW
Handle (Mastermove accessory): geni.us/MasterMove-HTFW
A few months ago Zhiyun sent me the Cinepeer Weebill 3E gimbal for me to review (ua-cam.com/video/dSMXoknohEs/v-deo.html) and I really believe that it is the perfect gimbal for most wedding videographers.
After the video was published Zhiyun sent me the Weebill 3S Combo to test, compare and contrast. With the addition of the Handle, I think that this gimbal set up is, again, perfect for most videographers.
Zhiyun is running a special until December 31, 2024 (Discounts applied on page)
Weebill 3S: $279 after 13% discount
Weebill 3S Combo: $389 after 11% discount
Weebill 3E: $211 after 15% discount
I also wanted to share a helpful tutorial on how to easily balance a gimbal. It can be really difficult to know what to do and in what order. The latter half of the video is me showing you the best process for balancing your camera on this (or any gimbal).

    Watched this video about 2-3 weeks ago, left the platform and immediately ordered this light. Took it to a wedding last weekend and it LITERALLY saved our BUTT! It was farrrrr too dark out there and if we had gone to the wedding without external lighting, we would’ve been issuing a refund 😳😟 We considered not taking any lighting because we already had so much gear to check at the airport and most times we get by. Something told me I needed this light. Ah! Thank you so much for this review.

    I used to be big on using what was plugged into a soundboard as my main audio source, but more recently I find I’m leaning more towards the tx-660 for a few reasons: - some couples have actually fed back regarding audio sounding too flat (too clean) from the board and not being able to hear people laughing to lines etc. switched it to the tx-660 and they much preferred that. We’re making wedding films for normal people most of the time, not sound engineers/film makers. - the speed and convenience is unbeatable. Time can be a real pinch at weddings, it’s so much quicker putting these on than mic’ing someone up. I always want to mic each person speaking as some people decide they don’t need to use a venue’s mic! I do find them a bit “tinny” and can sometimes scratch a bit on clothing, but adding some base, denoise and dereverb can make them sound great and get lots of ambient laughter. I’ve never had a couple complain about the audio with the tx660, but have with soundboard recorded audio. I still record both and edit both then go with what I think is best for the couple, but I’m now thinking more “what would the couple want” rather than what do I think sounds the most professional.

      @@HowToFilmWed yeah don’t get me wrong I still like to have at least 2, sometimes 3 different audio sources if possible and always check each time which I think is best. Sometimes the couple/wedding I’m doing also influences that decision - a more hyped up party type might suit the tx660 better with more ambient whereas a quieter more emotional day might suit the more polished cleaner sound better. Sometimes the speakers projection is so loud the tx660 has too much reverb for my taste even with some cleaning in post. All depends on the day really! 👍
