ZHIYUN Weebill S, 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless and DSLR Camera for Canon 5DIV 5DIII EOS R Sony A7M3 A7R3 A7 III A9 Panasonic S1 GH5s Nikon Z6
SKU: GW46.0012
Great for recording videos, panoramics and timelapses. Makes videos look extremely professional and no jerky movements within your footage when moving or following an object.
I am a huge fan of the transmission feature as I can link my phone and an ipad to the gimbal, which allows me and others to view the recording in real time. Offers great features too (with compatible cameras), such as object tracking. Leaving the camera stationary using the tripod and tracking an object and being able to move the camera and follow the object manually too adds great POV depth to the video.
If you are an enthusiast or a serious content maker, I highly recommend this gimbal!

I shoot a lot of handheld exercise videos where I'm having to track moving subjects and the Weebill S has made my life so much easier whilst at the same time hugely improved the quality of the footage I'm able to produce. It opens up a huge array of creative possibilities which I'm only just discovering and really looking forward to exploring. It's also very compact and when coupled with a mirrorless camera like the Sony A7iii makes for a very compact set up. For the money it's great value and will hugely improve your film making. Highly recommended.

If you are looking for the perfectly stable shot, this is the tool for the job. On cameras that have in body stabilisation, you are going to get very good results with this. On cameras with no in body stabilisation, you are going to get phenomenal results. Once you set this up, which does take a little patience, it's done and the clip on mounting system means that you don't have to keep setting up. Great battery, fairly light and easy to manoeuvre. There is also a top and bottom mount, for low shots, and a remote app that works on your smartphone, which is pretty cool. All in all, if you are out and about and want to take stable video, this is the tool for the job.

Its small/compact but still so powerful with the ability to hold cameras eith large lenses & attachments.
I used this to home my A7III 16-35mm G-master lense with a video shotgun mic on top fillining for an hour no problems.
The motors are very quiet so not much noise in the video footage.
Very good video stabilisation & enables you to get some footages that wouldn't habe been possible without using this gimbal - getting different angles and perspectives (e.g. I put it on a monopod and got great footage low to to high effects).

I have used several gimbal systems. Some for DSLR, some for mobile phones. This one is the best hands down. It's very lightweight, yet sturdy and very, very easy to set up. The lockable axis system makes it so easy to balance the system even if there is a weight change in the system. The screen makes every adjustment so easy without having to use the phone app. All other functions are smartly designed and easy to use. The balance of the system is one of the best so far even without any fine-tuning.

An extremely well-thought-out gimbal with good ergonomics. Build quality is very good and works well with my Sony A6000 camera to produce some lovely cinematic footage. Very portable and compact with its size with lockable arms. Two main reasons, why I purchase this gimbal over others was 1) can use heavier camera’s and Len’s (motors strong) 2) Very compact in size 3) Control settings within the gimbal itself. Overall a very well-designed gimbal and key bit of equipment for any filming enthusiast.

Tiny giant? This is the right name for it. Being hobbyist i could not ask for more. This gimbal is great for it is designed for => stabilisation. It is very easy to set up and use for first time user. Axis locks are awesome and i can not imagine gimbal without them. Footage is great out of the box and even better after few hit and miss adjustments of motors ( check my run video test). It is very portable and fits in my backpack with camera gear. I love sling mode as it is much more comfortable to use at least for me. I do suggest to buy transmount kit to safe some effort during handle changes. New firmware allow you to change plenty of settings straight from the gimbal, no more searching of phone to make quick adjustment unless you want to try sync motion and control your gimbal from the zhiyun app. It comes well packed in safe box that is great for storage when not in use.

After a few weeks of using this gimbal as an event videographer, here's my review. The size and power of this gimbal is second to none. Its small form factor allows it to be packed away & makes it perfect for travelling or shooting fast paced events.
The locking system & quick release plate makes balancing a breeze, even with a heavy setup. My favourite mode has to be POV, which allows you to control the gimbal in a 360 degree movement, making for really interesting & flexible shots.
The ability to move from upright to underslung mode is great if you need to get those low down shots.
Moving from a much larger gimbal to this has opened up a lot of flexibility for my work, and I can now carry all my kit in a small backpack rather than having to lug around a case or rolling camera bag. Battery life is superb & the charger is USB-C. It's comfortable to hold too, you don't need to grip it with two hands, part of the gimbal now rests by your thumb, which allows you to feel more in control.
Another big pro for me is the fact that you can auto-tune the motors on the gimbals built in system, as opposed to using a cumbersome app (saying that, the app is useful too & not hard to navigate at all. There's some really cool features on there, such as the ability to having the gimbal mimic every movement of your phone!) The small LED screen is nice and bright and allows you to program the gimbal.
If you shoot events and have a fairly heavy set up, this is perfect. Moving through tight spaces and crowds is much easier now, I no longer feel like I'm carrying a giant piece of equipment. I haven't tried many of the accessories, but I will definitely be investing in these soon.
Really happy!

This gimbal has everything what DJI Ronin S is missing and more!
Only materials on DJI are a bit better quality, everything else is perfect on Weebill S for my style of filming.
I have to say I was surprised how good and balanced it feels in hand in comparison with Ronin S. I’m sure it is due to better ergonomics witch makes me want to shoot in more variety of angles ie POV mode is somehow easier to achieve thanks to more intuitive controls etc.
As I show on the video I rigged it with a cage, Atomos Shinobi, Sony remote controller and only one additional Smallrig handle which I already had for my Sony A7iii cage and Sigma 20mm 1.4 lens!!
All together weights 4kg but due to very good ergonomics it feels “perfectly

Most awesome purchase for cinematography enthusiasts. The seller is super efficient. It was ordered on a Saturday , got confirmed on Monday, received the item by Wednesday. I'm pretty happy with the delivery service. Product is sturdy, legit and overall overwhelming, Physical Quick guide inside the package with Detailed Uset Manual on the product manufacturer App. Setting it up is very interesting. Overall satisfied customer here. I havent maximize its features though like the record button and the lens focus wheel because it requires additional accessories. My suggestion is to read more about camera compatibility since certain cameras are much suitable for this gymbal. but despite that it has been a great , my videos are much more stable and i can get a lot creative with it.
P.S.
With the weight in my cam iys quite heavy to hold with just a hand. Im sure its held woth two hands to even capture more stable shots
