@@OttoJulian_ Thanks. Now I can get a better idea. I think I'll buy it. Rumors tell me that Weebill version 4 is on the table of Zhiyun. The Crane 4 out yet ? 😃
Great information on this video (as usual). It cold be very interesting in my personal case as my camera is heavier than the weight allowed in previous models you shared with us. Thank you for your contributions to help us. Awaiting for new videos !!!
Hi Vincent. This one is a good option for your heavy setup, it will handle the weight and there is enough clearing to move the arms. Now, this is the 3S which is an upgrade from the actual 3, that means that there should be a Weebill 4 at some point. How soon? I don’t know, so getting one like this or not will depend on how much you need one right away 🙂
You state that the clips have no stabilisation added in post, but most of the shots you can clearly see that the footage had been slowed down. Obviously slowing down a clip masks any jitters etc. is there a reason for this?
I used to have older models from ZHIYUN and truth be told I was never quite happy with them. They have come a long way lately. This one felt good and I didn’t miss my bigger DJI gimbal for the first time
when you have it on pov mode for examble , can you push the trigger button to switch to lock mode for the time that you pushing it , and when releasing it, the trigger button ,can came back at pov mode again autocaticaly ?? You know , for use lock mode just for some seconds and going back at main selected mode instantly ,like Dji s gimbals ... Weebill s doent doing that and i sold it for that !
I can’t even remember why this title was chosen. My apologies. I do have a review for the RS3 and as you probably know already the big difference is the payload capacity, the fill light, gimbal weight. They both will do a fantastic job when it comes to stabilization if you use the right payload.
The sigma 16mm is a bit too front heavy, I'm not sure if the M3S will support that. Have you made your decision yet? In general I prefer the M3S because of the smaller footprint, easier to carry around and less weight. The Weebill 3S is good for the wrist support and sling grip and it's a good option if you need to use heavier setups.
@@OttoJulian_Hi Otto, I purchased Weebill 3s and after using it for 2 weeks or so, I still feel a bit of a shake in my footage. Maybe I should learn ninja walk rather walking normally? Wondering how people still achieve smooth footage running with this gimbal. Maybe it's due to the reason Sony ZV E10 or the lenses don't have image stabilization?
Hey Otto, I'll be using an Iphone 15 Pro Max on this gimbal. Am I able to pair up the Iphone with the gimbal via bluetooth so I can start and stop video recording with the button on the Weebill 3S?
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks. Finger crossed I guess I have to go for it. My priority is weight capacity and footage smoothness. The rest of the features are not a priority for me.
Lots of great info. I have a question if you don’t mind. I am looking to upgrade my Ronin SC to either Weebil 3s or go all the way in and buy the RS3 PRO. I’ve got some back issues and I’m struggling to do the ninja walk properly. The gimbal will be used 90% for real estate so not lots of walking involved. I was wondering which of those 2 gimbals will give better stabilisation? I have a Sony A7Siii and will not be used with heavy lenses, most of the times will be used with prime lenses not heavy zoom lenses
So being completely honest, I do prefer the RS3 Pro for multiple reasons (tracking, accessories, touchscreen, etc) but there is a weight factor that you have to consider. The gimbal itself for the A7SIII with a prime lens is a bit overkill. The Weebill will have good stabilization and I consider it a medium sized gimbal, and with the wrist support and sling handle you will feel less tired even in shorts periods of time. In terms of stabilization I feel that Zhiyun has improved a lot in the past years, and it will give you very nice results even if you are not doing the ninja walk or anything like that.
Thanks Otto…I was looking for gimbal quite some time but skeptical about the weight of my above gear combination and vertical mode…after going thru your detailed review now I know my wait is over 😊
In my opinion both gimbals do a great job when it comes to stabilization, other features should be taken in consideration for your camera. Is there anything in particular that you like about the RS3 Mini or the Weebill 3S? For example, the 3S doesn't have a touchscreen, and that for me it's a dealbreaker seeing all the gimbals that currently have one.
yes it's possible. Basically: Turn off airplane mode, turn on bluetooth, go inside the menu on the 3S and use the bluetooth option to pair both devices.

Appreciating the valuable insights you've provided, Otto! Looking forward to more of your excellent content!
Hello there! Thank you so much!
Why aren't your gimbles designed for people who are left-handed?
Got a problem with my newly bought weebill 3s the shot is not stable too much wobble

They were shot at 60fps yes, but if I speed them up to match 24fps they still look pretty stable to me
I have the Weebill S and I hardly use it. This 3S looks pretty good. Now need one with voice control, no button.
I used to have older models from ZHIYUN and truth be told I was never quite happy with them. They have come a long way lately. This one felt good and I didn’t miss my bigger DJI gimbal for the first time

Weebill s doent doing that and i sold it for that !
not sure if I understood correctly, but upon releasing the trigger to go out of locked mode, it goes to the last gimbal mode that you had
Will 3s will work good with Sony A7R3+ Sony FE 35f 1.8?
Yeah for sure!
Hi mate, thanks for your review im in the process of a buying a gimbal i was wondering if you would know which gimbal is better weebill 3s or dji rs2
it depends on your needs. The RS2 is better but it is quite big. It will support bigger and heavier setups. The touchscreen functions are also better
I clicked this video because you have "Better than DJI RS3?" But this video doesn't feature the RS3 or a comparison?
I can’t even remember why this title was chosen. My apologies. I do have a review for the RS3 and as you probably know already the big difference is the payload capacity, the fill light, gimbal weight. They both will do a fantastic job when it comes to stabilization if you use the right payload.
@@OttoJulian_ thank you. Trying to pick between the two.
@@YaYousef5 if you are not in a rush, I think DJI might release/announce the RS4 soon. I’m planning to get that one
Hello Otto, I'm using a ZV E10 with 16 and 30mm Sigma lens. Would you suggest this Weebil 3S or the Crane M3S for that setup?

Hi! You can refer to their compatibility list, I personally prefer WEEBILL 3S because of its Wrist Rest and Sling Grip. 😉
The sigma 16mm is a bit too front heavy, I'm not sure if the M3S will support that. Have you made your decision yet? In general I prefer the M3S because of the smaller footprint, easier to carry around and less weight.

No. As far as I know it only pairs with some cameras
Am considering this or the ronin SC 2, what would be your recommendation between the two?
1v1 the DJI has more advantages but the Weebill 3S is a good contender
@@OttoJulian_ Thanks. Finger crossed I guess I have to go for it. My priority is weight capacity and footage smoothness. The rest of the features are not a priority for me.
Can i swap the wrist rest on the left side? For left handed people? Same question for the sling?
I don't think you can
DJI rs3 or weebill 3s for real estate, wedding and content creator?
Both are good, DJI has more features, Weebill has the sling and the wrist support but can get heavier

Thanks Otto…I was looking for gimbal quite some time but skeptical about the weight of my above gear combination and vertical mode…after going thru your detailed review now I know my wait is over 😊
Does tracking settings affect your shot? Got 70mm tracking settings when i check my clips my shots are wobly
Nah it didnt tried everything but my clips still wobbly
i have Sony a6400 which does not have IBIS. Is the weebil 3s better than Dji rs3 mini for my cam?

Nice video. Would it be easy for you to tell me how you set the a7siii to bluetooth so you don't use cables? Is it possible on this camera?
yes it's possible. Basically: Turn off airplane mode, turn on bluetooth, go inside the menu on the 3S and use the bluetooth option to pair both devices.

@@SteppeGrass thank you 🙏
You know if we can use the bottom part on others gimbals? Like RS3 Mini???
No you can’t. The plate needs to be screwed at the bottom of the gimbal next to the 1/4” tripod thread hole

unfortunately you can't switch them :(
Hello. I would like to know what light you use to illuminate your wall with a led effect?
LED color lights, there are a few videos on my channel reviewing these kind of lights
@@OttoJulian_ thanks you ?
What are the biggest differences between the weebill 3S and the DGI rs 3 mini?
Hi. Weebill 3S has higher payload, faster vertical mode setup, the wrist support+handle and the fill light
Can u recommend a LED light for dji osmo pocket 2 to shoot in low light situations.
portable?

Is it compatible with a smartphone?
