This is my first gimbal and this is hands down one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Super clear but easy explained. Was able to set it up in a couple of minutes!
I unboxed my Weebill and as soon as I saw how small the instruction book was printed, I immediately looked up a tutorial. Thanks for this, it was very easy to follow.
Okay, here's a story: so this is my first gimbal, and I'm really struggling with balancing. I watched EVERY tutorial out there, and I couldn't get it right. I was going crazy, getting SO frustrated ripping my hair out. And then I found your tutorial. Your little words of encouragement at 5:58 were honestly so helpful - I took your advice, set it down and walked away for a bit. Anyways, now I have a perfectly balanced gimbal, and I can't wait to start shooting. Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial!! I will definitely be returning to watch when I need to balance my other cameras. Cheers x
Jessi Quinlan Same thing happened to me lol I got mine last night and was so frustrated. I had to put it down and watch some more videos until one made sense. How has your shooting been so far? I’m thinking I may ride to the beach to test it out.
True story, got my first gimbal (Weebill Lab S) yesterday as well and I was highly frustrated as I struggled to balance my Sony A7III. Watched several videos until I found this excellent one. So I also took his advice and let the gimbal rest... When I came back from lunch and a walk, my gimbal was set up perfectly right! Thanks brownies! 😉 Excellent video thank you!
Great video, dude. This is by far the best quick set up video out there on how to get started with the Weebill S. Thank you for saving me a bunch of time and hassle.
This was the simplest & easiest to follow tutorial for this. I love how you explained WHY you’re doing what you’re doing. Thanks a lot! You’re a good teacher.
im a stills guy, my friend bought me this as a thank you for photographing his wedding. I need to take some video soon and your tutorial was a great help. Thank you
Nice man! I've been struggling to get this balanced for an hour. I decided to just bite the bullet and watch your 12 minute tutorial, and I'm so glad I did haha.
I first watched your video of the Crane 2 a couple years ago, and once again I’m back for the Weebill S. Both videos are excellent. Thanks for the tutorial 👍
finally someone who showed how it works with the plate.. and i really had fun "banalcing" with you, it was really helpful and helped me with frustration
Thank you so much! By far the most helpful setup on this gimble I’ve seen so far. I even watched all the ads in full, just to show appreciation for your time and effort in putting this together :). Cheers mate
Thank you so much for creating a video that simply made sense... for the 1st time ever I was able to successfully balance my gimbal on the first go around. And believe me I've tried many times following other videos and your video just clicked with me and was easy to understand. Thank you!!!
Honestly when I first watched this I thought it wasn’t good. Now I find myself coming back to it all of the time, thank you for this great video- ur awesome!
This is the best tutorial to balance your camera on the weebil s😭😭 thank you so much. I skipped the flipping the camera upwards part. But this video helped
I came here as a last result. Other videos moved through too fast or missed setup steps and your video was/is A plus. You saved me a trip to Bestbuy to swap this gimbal for a different brand. Great video and nicely articulated.
It's the best tutorial, even way better than the official Zhiyun one. Question: i have just unboxed my Weebill S and I have a Z6ii with F mount lenses (paired through FTZII), do I need to buy the focus motor? Thanks
Hello, Masher. For Nikon Z6ii, we suggest that you can buy a zoom/focus motor. This is our zoom/focus motor description, you can click here: store.zhiyun-tech.com/collections/accessories-for-weebill-s/products/transmount-focus-zoom-control-motor-2-0
Great advice on taking a break. I swear right when you said that, I felt like throwing my gimble out the window. Lol. This video is excellent. Thank you for being so thorough.
Just got one yesterday for my G85. I put an entire soft top replacement on my Jeep quicker than I got this thing fully assembled and set up. It was frustrating lol Good to know it is easier with time.
this tutorial is much better than the official version. zhiyun should be ashamed lol. thanks man you explained it so well i didnt even need to rewatch as a first time user
This looks like it's going to be a nice easy to follow tutorial but I'm going to pause you right there at 2:42 as I'm starving and have to go make my dinner. Then I'm going to have a few drinks to celebrate getting my gimbal today, yay! I'll hit play and follow the tutorial tomorrow when I'm sober if that's ok lol :-)
Can I tell you that I clicked on 3 other gimbal balance videos before coming across this one? Thank you for walking us through the setup, it really helped. My m6 is rocking and ready!
Solid video - I had put my Weebil down for a little bit and needed to break it out again and needed to figure out how to get it working again. You got me there. Minor suggestion is that you go a little slower as you rotate the gimbal around. Had to rewatch a few times to figure out what knob you were turning, but got there!.
Great video! Very informative. 2 things tho. It’s Zhiyun Labs Weebil S and that plate that you’re sliding back and forth to take your camera off has a quick release plate that comes off so you don’t have to rip it all the way out. Happy filming 👍🏻
These is my second gimbal I've had a moza air for about three or four years, but just not giving me what I want and I believe this little one will give me a better work load and easier.
Hey I just bought this gimbal today and with your help I managed to perfectly balance it. Thanks for explaining it so good. I am looking forward to try it outside in the nature for my projects😊
When i got this gimbal for the first time i was so tired to balance it cause it already seems like so difficult but now i can say that with practice i can balance it in 10 seconds without problems. So if you are angry about this, that's totaly normal you're not stupid, you have to practice to be more comfortable and don't forget watching more setup videos to get the thing fastly.
Wow. what a useful video. i watch lots of videos about balancing the weebill s, but nobody telling like you. Now i balanced my gimbal perfectly. Thanks for all.
Thanks for this tutorial. I've had this gimbal for 2 months and thought I was balancing it correctly. Apparently not. My batteries would last closer to 3-4 hours rather than 10-12, assuming the motors were working overtime for my poorly balanced set-up. Eager to try this out now with everything perfect.
Just earned yourself a sub. I've just bought this as my first gimbal. Bit nervous about putting it together. Very reassuring and friendly video. Thanks man. I'll look forward to checking out more from your channel.
Really helped. I got the arrrrrr **** gimbals! then like magic after a break finally got the pan axis balanced. Thought it was impossible!?! Thank you for making this vid!!
Well done. A couple of bits I'd add are: The table knife wasn't adequate to tighten the screw, so the camera twisted on the mount during setup. I know you were trying to keep the demo quick, but a new user should make sure the mount is firmly tightened. Configure your camera as you will use it, meaning remove the lens cap, install the hood, install filters, and mount any accessories you plan to use. And related to that, if you change your lens or camera's configuration, you need to re-balance. Zooming (and focusing on some lenses) will throw off balance. If you plan to zoom while using the gimbal, balance to the midpoint in your zoom's extension. The gimbal can handle some change of CG during use, but try to keep changes in lens extension minimal.

good video bro

Not going to lie, I skipped this tutorial, went around, only to realize this is by far the best one. Thanks a lot!

I was about to post this exact same comment at this time stamp, glad that I am not the only one who was going through this!
Thank you. Great video. You saved me from throwing that thing against the wall! Frustrating doesn't t cut it
Great video, dude. This is by far the best quick set up video out there on how to get started with the Weebill S. Thank you for saving me a bunch of time and hassle.
This was the simplest & easiest to follow tutorial for this. I love how you explained WHY you’re doing what you’re doing. Thanks a lot! You’re a good teacher.
I loved how you said...this is the lens support, take it off, you'll not gonna need it. And me looking at the heavy Tamron SP and Sigma 70-200 😂🤦🏻♂️
Best tutorial I have ever watched amazing
I came here for the instructions on the Crane M2, now back for the Weebill. Thanks for the videos
im a stills guy, my friend bought me this as a thank you for photographing his wedding. I need to take some video soon and your tutorial was a great help. Thank you
actually after 4 years this video really helped me and i could balance my weebill s, thanks for amazing video 😊
Please help me it says axis lock and I don’t know it but I balanced like this
This is by far the BEST balancing video I've ever seen on the Weebil S. Great job!!
Nice man! I've been struggling to get this balanced for an hour. I decided to just bite the bullet and watch your 12 minute tutorial, and I'm so glad I did haha.
I’ve had this Gimbal for about 2 years and never messed with it because I got so frustrated. This tutorial was so simple, thanks for the upload!
This tutorial is way better than the Zhiyun sponsored one. Thank you!
I first watched your video of the Crane 2 a couple years ago, and once again I’m back for the Weebill S. Both videos are excellent. Thanks for the tutorial 👍
Welcome back!
This video helped a lot!! Thank you from New Zealand. I did it years ago and came back to this video because I forgot and it helped me!
I bought this today and watched this tutorial. Thank you so much for saving me a whole lot of trouble!
finally someone who showed how it works with the plate.. and i really had fun "banalcing" with you, it was really helpful and helped me with frustration

Dude your tutorial is much much better than the sponsored and provided by the Zhiyun itself! Greetings from Indonesia!
terima kasih!
Thank you so much!! You are the only one to explain the center of gravity part, which is CRUCIAL!!
I came here as a last result. Other videos moved through too fast or missed setup steps and your video was/is A plus. You saved me a trip to Bestbuy to swap this gimbal for a different brand. Great video and nicely articulated.
This was hands down the most detailed setup video - I've watched so many trying to set up my gimbal and this won! Thank you!!!
It's the best tutorial, even way better than the official Zhiyun one.

WOWOWOW Finally someone that explains it like a PRO!!! Thanks Man!!!
Probably the best tutorial for a weebill s, follow this exactly, and you cannot go wrong, got my gh5 with 25 mm prime setup perfectly!!!
First time gimball user here. You are a godsend.
I know this is probably an old gimbal by now, but it’s now my first, and this video has been great to get me setup quickly and going. Cheers 👍
The only tutorial on weebill s that has worked for me after skimming through dozens
you have done the best job so far of anyone explaining the setup of the Weebill S.
What is everything that the little cable that connects to your camera do? It doesn’t fit mine so I would have to buy another one but what dose it do?
Great advice on taking a break. I swear right when you said that, I felt like throwing my gimble out the window. Lol. This video is excellent. Thank you for being so thorough.
Just got one yesterday for my G85. I put an entire soft top replacement on my Jeep quicker than I got this thing fully assembled and set up. It was frustrating lol Good to know it is easier with time.
Thanks a lot for this video, i tried mine some minutes ago here from Russia and almost decided to sell but your video has made me think others.
this tutorial is much better than the official version. zhiyun should be ashamed lol.
thanks man you explained it so well i didnt even need to rewatch as a first time user
I've watched a lot of videos on balancing this particular gimble, and this is the BEST!
Great to hear!
Excellent tutorial. I learned much more from this one than any other on UA-cam. Thanks much, Evan. Great job!
Finally someone who speaks slowly and clearly. Great communication mate, thank you 🙏🙏😊💪
Nicely explained the basic setup which almost every UA-camr misses. Thanks a lot for this video.
REALLY helpful video, thank you!
How this 100^100 times better than Zhiyun's Official tut?
Amazing job.
I am always having trouble with the first set up because I did not know abou CENTER GRAVITY and now you show it to me. Amazing to see this vudeo

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and help us all gimbal-newbies out there. Much love from Brazil.
Hi. I can’t get my baseplate crew in the baseplate. Any suggestions?
This is exactly the question I am searching all over the internet for. Just got this today and this simple problem is driving me nuts.
You made it so much easier than trying to follow the manual, thanks!
Thanks a lot! Your video is the best. I didn't find as clear video in russian as your's)) No one explane's so clear. 1 hour and gimlble is ready.
These is my second gimbal I've had a moza air for about three or four years, but just not giving me what I want and I believe this little one will give me a better work load and easier.
Thank you, you made getting our Weebill S and Sony 6600 going in 12 minutes! Great video dude!
Great video! Esp the part about getting frustrated in the middle, definitely related to that. This video is way better than that Zhiyun put out
You are amazing, thank you so much !
Thank you :) I just purchased this gimbal. You made the set up and balance easy. Much appreciated
this is factually the best video on this
This was life saving, thank you so much. You saved me hours of struggle!
Thank you so much for explaining it easily. I have watched several videos and this one was the best

Thanks, man. That's a great video. Better than the video on the Zhiyun channel!

Excellent. Almost gave up. You saved a return. Thank You.
I followed many videos and i end up with a red face , i followed your steps i finished it in no time , thanks man 🙌🏻
Liked , subscribed ♥️🙌🏻

SO helpful! Very detailed step-by-step. Thank you!!!
Very, very helpful. I'm totally new to working with a gimbal, this made it easy. Thanks a lot.
Perfectly explained and demonstrated👍🏻 Thanks!
Best weebill S setup video I've watched thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation, thank you. I have had this for a while but haven't gotten into it because of the learning curve. Thanks again.
My Weebill S is vibrating like crazy.
I've balanced my camera perfectly.
My camera is a Panasonic Lumix G7. Is that too light perhaps?
Go into customs and lower the strength. Unfortunately the system doesn't save the settings and you have to do it every single time.
@@dashcarproductions901 Yeah, I figured that out after a while. Annoying, but other than that the Weebill is great.
i fell in love with it before hand but even more so after this set up! goated lasting video
Came back to setup after forgetting... Weebill was close to being thrown
I almost threw mine away bro… this video helped me out so much i appreciate you
Really helped. I got the arrrrrr **** gimbals! then like magic after a break finally got the pan axis balanced. Thought it was impossible!?! Thank you for making this vid!!
Great tutorial. I watched three, this being my third. This was the best one 👍. Ty
Thank you a lot. I can't wait to shoot dope videos with this machine. Took me some time but I am getting the hang of it

thank you for the tips!
That’s the beauty of electronic zoom where the lens does not extend when using a gimbal.
This video really helps me a lot in understanding to setup gimbal in overall youtube.
thanks for watching :)
Love this video. It's been helpful a couple of times (my short term memory is as bad as my steady shooting)
I like the lens holder for heavy telescopics and bigger zooms. i. think its useful...
Omg you made it so easy for me - thank you !!!
Protect this mans life at any cost!
You just saved me a lot of headaches. Thanks!
thanks man, this is by far the best explanation on setting the gimbal thank u
I just got one for Christmas i cant wait to get home and try it out
very helpful thank you i just got one for Christmas i cant wait to get it setup!!!!
Evan YOU ARE AWESOME....
THANK YOU FOR THIS VALUABLE LESSON
.........................................................SUBSCRIBED
Thank you, such a simple video that was straight to the point.
My gimbal's battery is charging now but this is the best video i will try to balance later 😄
