Here is my review of the Zhiyun weebill S. Our new favourite gimbal for our bmpcc6k and Eos R.
Get yours : amzn.to/2rLEdUG
Over the past few weeks we have been using the Weebill S and think it is safe to say that this our new favourite one.
If you’re into filmmaking you probably tried, owned or at least considered gimbals. We used to use the Ronin S a lot and whilst we loved it it was a bit on a heavy side and not very travel friendly on some occasions. But we found that the Weebill S was the one that ticked the most boxes when it came to what we were looking for in a gimbal.
Gear used in the video:

K&F Contax YC to EF adapter : amzn.to/2MNK6br
Small Rig half cage : amzn.to/2Heccdy
Card used : Wise CFast 2.0 : amzn.to/2Z2zUiz
EOS R : amzn.to/2Fvah2q
Cheap Canon 24mm : amzn.to/35v1VSP
Eos R Cage : amzn.to/2T3UBeo
In this video I will talk about what we use it for, how to balance the BMPCC 6K, why we like about the Weebill S as well as things that could be improved.
I decided to use with the cameras and lenses I would normally pick for gimbal work.
Let me know if you have any question :).

@willvazquez3218 3 года назад

Great video! I have an old Ikan EC1 and it is able to balance the Pocket 4K and 6K perfectly with prime lenses. I've even used the Tokina 11-20mm on it. The motors really struggle with the Tokina though and make a lot of noise. The EC1 is able to balance the Pockets because the horizontal roll-axis arm is adjustable and comes out enough to counter the width of the Pockets. The only thing is that it's dated and I want to be able to use the remote control features when I mount it on a boom pole or small crane. But I have made countless great shots with the Pocket 4K/6K with the EC1.

@aremin 4 года назад

@HimurraKenshi 3 года назад

Great Video, Thank you! :) It appears that you are using a Half cage for the setup, do you think the BMPCC can be balanced with a full cage + Prime lens (Samyang)?

@pixelcityart3554 4 года назад

Nice video! I was wondering when someone would manage to balance the bmpcc4/6k on this awesome gimble, this would be the only gimble I would consider buying... Thanks for the video, btw very nice shots! Got to love this vintage lenses.

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback !! And yes, those Contax lenses are awesome :)

@steveschnetzler5471 4 года назад

Interesting solution with the clamp on weights. When I got an early gimbal, I found I had to custom machine adapters for almost all my cameras. it made using it a pain.

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

Yeah it works pretty well and it a very cheap option. You only need it for the bmpccs since they have a awkward shape. The Eos R balances very easily :).

@nikos22patra 4 года назад

nice vid, can you do a comparison with dji ronin s?

@Thenicolebus 3 года назад

Hey there, I got a question. Can you use the 6 Pro on the Weebill with a full cage? I see you are using a half cage. Thanks!

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад

I don't have it yet so not sure. It is quite big. Crane 2S might be a better option.

@Thenicolebus 3 года назад

Thank you for your fast response, I got the Weebill together with my 6k pro without a rig. But let's get it balanced first😩.

@aaronw8525 4 года назад

Exactly the kind of video I needed as I have BMPCC4k and a Canon. Hey did you ever try the Contax Zeiss 28mm on your EOS R?

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

Not yet but planning to :)

3 года назад

I have been binge watching your videos, lots of good info. I have a BMPCC 4K and I’m thinking to get the weebill S. Is there a lens that can be used on the black magic that won’t require the counterweights? Thanks!

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the support !! I am not sure since the counterweights are used to balance the actual body of the camera. To be honest you don't really feel them. Pretty light package when you don't have to balance a big lens.

@ReachFilms 4 года назад

First of all love your channel and can’t believe I wasn’t subscribed until now. That being said, in the short shots from the bmpcc6k there is microwabble in the footage, I had the same issue with my bmpcc4k and some bigger lenses when using the weebill s. I didn’t have micro wabble when using smaller lenses with the Blackmagic. Also when using lumix cameras the micro wabble is not present in a lot of setups and even easier to use just like your eos R.

@JeseeWalker 4 года назад

Does anyone have more opinions on this before I drop my hard earned cash, ugh

@kolecava 4 года назад

Those cameras have better balance distribution (centre of gravity) in-body plus IBS. This can be overcomed with either OIS lens, changing motor parameters (less/more power) or re-balancing. P4K/P6K with heavier lenses is a BITCH to balance.

@ReachFilms 4 года назад

I did a video on using this gimbal actually from the same merchant, it is an amazing gimbal for the money, my goal is I did not want people to be surprised if they used heavy setups and the footage does not come out nearly as clean or buttery smooth as the lighter setups do

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

Thanks for watching and really glad you like our work :). I think yes if you intend only to use zoom lenses which is not very recommended with gimbals as always it can happen but I had no issue with primes. I will most likely use my Eos R for gimbal work most of the time on a job since the combo gimbal/AF is hard to beat. But you can definitely use the Pockets especially with primes. Cheers

@lutherpippen 4 года назад

Do you think this will work on the old bmpcc 1080p with a switronix 70 battery pack?

@santiagoguiastrennec811 4 года назад

Amazing video. Short explanations but very clear ones. I literally just bought the Tilta Gravity G2X HOURS before you uploaded this video 😑. I’ve heard and seen some videos in which the Weebil S’s motors can’t hold the Pocket 4K with a Rokinon Cine DS prime lens and and a Samsung T5 SSD with the full cage, then the motors started “twitching” or they were not keeping up with the load. Thats why I bought the Gravity which was cheaper, but I still have my doubts hahah. Thanks for this great video! Keep it up!

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

Thanks a lot, really glad you liked it !! There is always something else haha. I tend to use very light setups for gimbal work so the Weebill S works great :)

@mattcarlson12 3 года назад

So after some time now what is your "go-to" lens on the Weebill-S? I really enjoy your content!

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад

Depends on the camera. 16-35 f4 for the Eos R and primes lenses for the bmpcc6k, the Zeiss 28 or 18 are a good option.

@kevinplatt 4 года назад

Thanks for the review. Seems the Ronin S is still a more suitable option for larger camera/lens combinations. Love the extras features of the Weebill S though...

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

Thanks for watching !! I think yes if you intend only to use zoom lenses which is not very recommended with gimbals as always. I had no issue with primes. I like the Ronin and used it for a couple of years but the weight was a bit much for long hours and the balancing/carrying wasn’t as easy since it had no locks. Both great products, I just like the Weebills because it is more convenient and does the same job with the two kits I use :). Cheers

@losmandu 4 года назад

Another plus point for using Ronin S is powering the camera from gimbal for hours.

@vineetsuthan 4 года назад

I have been using the Big Brother the Crane3 for my BMPCC4K and its lot heavier than Weebill S. Crane 3 is surely big and it can be difficult one to carry both during the shoot and while Travel. For the Focus Motor, i have the Tilta Focus and i am still try to figure out on placing the focus motor on the lens.

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

I have heard good things about the crane but yeah I got the Weebill S for its size and weight. It sure does help when travelling and in general as well.

@totalbingshow8564 4 года назад

I hear after adding counter weight, it produces shaky footage.

@markyonline1 4 года назад

I really like this gimbal, but I'm not too excited about using counterweights. Did you have to use all 300g, am I seeing this right?

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

It really is a great gimbal !! Yes, but only to balance the Sigma lens as it is quite a heavy one. I always use primes on gimbal so then only the clamp and one counterweight is enough.

@TheLostKuma 4 года назад

When I use the smallrig plate (the one that we need to balance w/ the sigma 18-35) - i find that the screw that you turn in order to secure the the camera doesn't go in. Do you find this happens as well? I just use it without screwing it in properly as it's still quite secure, but it makes me worry.

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

You mean the counterweight doesn't screw in properly or the little knob at the front of the plate ?

@TheLostKuma 4 года назад

@@OfTwoLands The little knob at the front of the plate (that was part of the gimbal originally). My smallrig piece doesn't seem to fit 100% perfectly, so I can't use the screw to properly lock it in.

@OfTwoLands 4 года назад

@@TheLostKuma i think I know what you mean. It can be a bit fiddly with the Smallrig plate but it does work. It took me a few times to get used to it. It helps if you loosen as much as possible and practice without the camera first.

@franklinmichael671 3 года назад

If I already own it would you recommend I use it with the nucleus nano follow focus, or is there a good reason to buy the follow focus specifically made for that gimbal apart from the ease of mounting of the wheel?

@OfTwoLands 3 года назад

Hard to answer this as I have never used the Nano. I think if it works for you already maybe try it with it first and see how you go. You can always get the specific one later on.
