Yo I've been doing this for 10 years and this is hands down the BEST gimbal rig I've ever seen in my life. Thank you! EDIT: You just made me realize you can attach a small power bank to that monitor mount
Helping my friend get her gimbal set up with the Sony A7iii She'll need some more grips for sure so this was very helpful, thanks! I run a DJI Ronin SC with Sony A7iv. Cheers
This is easily one of the most helpful videos I've come across for this gimbal. Thank you! Now I know exactly what to get. And I'll definitely be using your links. 🙂
Aside from the great content, I think this is the first video of this type with background music that I actually thought improved the video. Great selection and perfect volume IMO.. Well done!
Awesome presentation in terms of beginning to end! Definitely need #4, 5 and 6. The grip the goes upwards and sideways is so sick, and the attachment to make it a two handed gimbal is perfect for long shoots / further stabilization. Dope video.
These are useful suggestions! I don't yet have this gimbal but have the Sony A6600. I actually hate too many attachments because I travel a lot and want the smallest, most sleek-looking set up possible. However, the two additional handles actually look like they are expanding the functionality of the gimbal quite a bit. Thanks!
Hey mate, I would like to thank you for putting this video together. I have been looking at buying a Weebill for my GH5 and Atomos Ninja V, but I was getting frustrated with not knowing the exact accessories I would need. #4, #5 and #6 are the items I need. Thanks again!
Enjoyed the video. I ordered the extention arm for my mic...I have a rode video mic pro plus. Problem I had wasnt the arm catching but I would have had to then counterweight the camera (a7iii) which felt like robbing Peter to pay Paul to me as I didn't want to keep adding more weight. Think I need a sifferent solution something to attach to the other side that I can mount a mic on. With all the numerous brackets available it's hard to know which to get...also one that doesn't cost loads. I also think £22 for that bracket is extortionate, I returned mine.
@@BallysRealm 8 ended up getting a small rig arm that cost slightly more but attaches to the handle on the left it's for a monitor but you can add other attachments also. I'll get there!
Hey Ballys Realm. At around 3:00 in the video, what is the bracket that you put on the Weebill S? I am trying to attach a mic off of the arm you show, but I cannot figure this out. Could you please help?
How about on the back of the handle (using the cold shoe mount and a cold shoe mount for the monitor) That way you have the scren in front of your face for better visibility.
Hellow! Is the URIG secured from accidental detaching from adapter ? I see the secure button but you released the handle without pushing the secure button
So I have the extension plate and I'm using a Rode Videomic shotgun mic, but it hits the side of the gimbal when mounted on the cold shoe. Is this mic simply too large for this gimbal?
i have the same grip but cannot get it fully on the nato rail in the side position. does it lock into with the silver pin in the side position? somehow the pin blocks it for me so that I cannot slide it fully on and lock. only in the upright position it works...
That little cold shoe is great! Too bad my new Sony mic needs it to be a hot shoe... But a small video light is useful too! I think the first thing I mount to this will be a monopod though - to use as a boom!
So many ways to accessorise this gimbal. I am glad I found the cold shoe adapter as it allows the mic to face in the same direction as the camera. I think I saw that the sony xlr-k3m XLR adapter comes with some sort of an extension cable. Maybe you can look into this for your Sony Mic so you can relocate it?
I have been doing a ton of research ( alot of CZcams Reviews) on what gimbal to get, I came down to this weebill s and stumbled across your video. Great insight on how to be creative with making it an all in one gimbal filmmaking machine. I am also a small channel and am slowly building my equipment to make better content. Support the channel as you have 1 more new subscriber. Keep on postin!
awesome and some of best informative videos. thank you. i recently bought a webills but find hard for me to balance my Canon 6d mark 2 with Sigma 85 1.4. If you make a follow up video with large lens it will be soo helpful ...
Glad you enjoyed the video! Have you tried following my balancing video? - czcams.com/video/myNzJ8A28bg/video.html I have balanced a 24-105mm lens in that which is a large lens.
Hey, I have the extension plate but having quite a bit of issues trying to balance the setup. Any recommendations on how to get more weight towards the opposite (right) side?
I cant see anything online for that and I havent used the camera so I wouldnt be able to tell you. If you search for weebill s canon d77 - I find no results which makes me think that it may not work.
Thx a lot for such a valuable video. I love the item 6 which is Dh14 handle. May I know what plate you use to Mount the handle so quickly to the gimbal? Does it come with the dh14 handle or we need to purchase it separate?. Please post the link the plate in case the item has to be ordered separately.
question: do you lock out individual axes when operating the gimbal? or was that just to show us how all this stuff would work without the axes freely getting in the way? I like the quick release idea and the individual handles, but I need a solution that works for my use, ie. I'm a lefty and the magic arm (for mounting a monitor) would be right where my arm would be while shooting, and I wouldn't be able to see what's going on. this would make me go back to using the smallrig cheese handle with the coldshoe top-mounted, and the gimbal would get in the way of the monitor there as well. not a lot of options left to warrant practicality.
I let all axes go freely. This was Just to show all the parts for the video. You could always mount the Monitor on top of the back handle or the side handle (which you can have on the left or the right of the handle). I quite like having the monitor on top of the back handle on the cold shoe.
Hey! If you can give me a link to the pen adapter in your video at 9:03 am, I think you understand what this is about ... if necessary, I have a screenshot of the details. Thanks in advance.
It can, but the smallrig arm is a way to get around that. Or you could use the UURig DH14 handle and mount the monitor on the cold shoe of that. That way the monitor is right in front of your face - which is nice.
Thanks for the video, man! Unfortunately the extension plate seems to be out of stock worldwide. Do you have any alternative for that? I really need a way to attch my rode-mic to the gimbal. On top of the camera is no option...
It only vibrates when you do the auto tune first (that is because it is trying to figure out the correct strenth to provide me motors) After that it has been fine for me. I am on the latest firmware - 2.05
I dont think there is a dedicated one like that, but you can install 2 of the Agimbalgear handles and have one on either side to make it act like that.
I still think its a decent handle. I really like the nato rail on there. I am also planning on using the DH14 on my DJI RS2 gimbal. What has been your experience with it?
I believe so, you could put the nato rail type mount onto the Zhiyun quick release and then have a double quick release! It may not be as stable as having it connected directly though.
I balanced everything with the extension plate on and always attach it when I use the gimbal as my microphone sits on it. This way the microphone can face in the right direction every time. I dont use the gimbal without it so no need to rebalance. If you did want to use it sometimes with and sometimes without, then yes you would need to rebalance.
Perhaps you could have the VideoMic pro on the gimbal all the time so you don't have to rebalance. You could then choose to plug in the rode lav mic or the VideoMic when you needed?
Hello, thank you for your video! Can you use the Zhiyun Transmount Extension plate, without removing anything, when you use the gimbal in underslung mode? Best
This is what I had to install: Esto es lo que tuve que instalar: ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Haedb067bfca84cb480b66ef63023784aB/Zhiyun-Accessories-TransMount-Multi-Functional-Extension-Plate-for-Zhiyun-Weebill-S-Lab-Handheld-Gimbal-Stabilizer-w.jpg
WARNING NOTE!!! the transmount extension plate may be good for some shooting styles but what you didn't show when you swong the tilt arm because you did not swing far enough back wards is that it will hit the vortex mode arm, its in the way blocking the full swing and capability of that action, thus completely defeating the whole purpose of why you would want thing gimble in the first place.
Have you tried it your self? my camera lens is the first thing that stops my camera from going all the way down before the transmount plate gets in the way. When going backwards its the same thing. I can do full vortex mode without any issues.
🤔Says he puts his mic on the extension plate- but didn’t add a picture or any b-roll of it 🤦🏿♂️. Viewers don’t need any of the things listed. These companies will have you buying new accessories everyday while not even knowing how to use the camera yet. Who needs the convenience of all these things, as if everyone is running around over worked from all the “cinematic” film they’re recording?! 😂😂😂😂. You look ridiculous up there, as if you’re using that gear for the first time! 😂😂😂

Enjoyed the video. I ordered the extention arm for my mic...I have a rode video mic pro plus.

With all the numerous brackets available it's hard to know which to get...also one that doesn't cost loads. I also think £22 for that bracket is extortionate, I returned mine.
Yeah anything this specialilst is always going to cose more than something more generic and mass produced.

How about on the back of the handle (using the cold shoe mount and a cold shoe mount for the monitor) That way you have the scren in front of your face for better visibility.
Thanks showing us all your Weebill S gear.
No problem 👍

You need to make sure its loosend up first, then slide it on the correct way. The silver pin only allows it to be taken off as it locks it in place.
Great video man, very helpful!

Hey, I have the extension plate but having quite a bit of issues trying to balance the setup. Any recommendations on how to get more weight towards the opposite (right) side?
You can try and move the camera as far to the right as you can? Or try and get some counter balance weights and a corresponding mounting plate.
Hi. Just a question regarding the L-Bracket Grip. How far is the clearance when there is no quick release plate below? Thank you. :)
Good day my brother
You too
Good video my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello
Is the smallrig compatible with the canon eos m50 + viltrox speedbooster + Sigma 1.8 18-35 mm
As long as you balance it well, it should be.
Excellent video, subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
Hi Can you please confirm if we can perform all the action with canon d77 with this gimbal or not?

Thanks for the explanations ! Can you make a video explaining auto tracking in selfie mode with Panasonic Lumix S5 if possible?
I dont have an S5 to test this out with I am afraid.
@@BallysRealm ok
Looking to get a weebil s but I’m wondering if it supports a dual handle that is spaced further out like that of the ronin gimbals?
I dont think there is a dedicated one like that, but you can install 2 of the Agimbalgear handles and have one on either side to make it act like that.
Very Nice video, congrats
Thank you very much!
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
the link for the trans mount extension plate doesn't work and I can't seem to find it anywhere online.
Seems to be working for me. Which country are you looking for it in?
How can I mount my camera vertically in weebill S ?
You can get L mount brackets or a cage for your camera and put the Arca Swiss plate from the Weebill S on the side of the camera.
Dear friend! Please tell me, after a while, are you not disappointed in UURig DH14? Would you buy it now?
I still think its a decent handle. I really like the nato rail on there. I am also planning on using the DH14 on my DJI RS2 gimbal.
What has been your experience with it?
@@BallysRealm I bought DH14 7 days ago and I really like this product! Thanks for the answer! Creative success!
Hey, is there an official Zhiyun Weebill S adjustable monitor (Atomos Ninja V) mount? Best
Not as far as I have seen.
@@BallysRealm Thank you. What length of the Atomos cable from the monitor (mount on the Weebill S) to the Sony A73 is ideal? Best
Nice video man
Glad you enjoyed
Thanks so much for excellent, helpful video! Happy new subscriber here! Al-salamü ‘alayküm, Bally 💛 🕌 🕋 🙏🏽
Thanks for subbing! Gald you enjoyed the video and found it useful 😀
can that UUrig handle be used with the Zhiyun quick release coupling?
I believe so, you could put the nato rail type mount onto the Zhiyun quick release and then have a double quick release! It may not be as stable as having it connected directly though.
Hi, for the 2nd accessory you have to rebalance the gimbal anytime you add it on, no?
I balanced everything with the extension plate on and always attach it when I use the gimbal as my microphone sits on it. This way the microphone can face in the right direction every time. I dont use the gimbal without it so no need to rebalance.

Hi, yes you can! It stays in line with the camera wherever you point it.
@@BallysRealm Great! thank you : )
@@studiodrivenbylight You're welcome :)
The final form of this gimbal with everything attached makes it quite a heavy gimbal with an awfully tiny cradle for cameras.
Its not too bad if the camera is balanced correctly. Feels quite good in the hand - although it can be a little heavy.
How much extra weight you added ?
It does make the whole rig quite heavy, but having the dual handles really helps with the weight distribution.
Thanks bro! Did you hear any motor noise on the shotgun mic?
None at all. The motors on my Weebill S are pretty quiet anyway.
@@BallysRealm thx!
