Really nicely done, must useful review of this gimbal I've seen so far!
I am a Weeble owner. I've had challenges with occasional jitters which has been frustrating. You think you have a perfect shot, only to find out later there has been a sudden motor movement. I have spent a lot of time working with settings, but I think it's the nature of the gimbal. Also, it's important to point out some quality concerns. Straight out of the box I had a problem with the plate tightening screws. Zhyun was kind enough to send a replacement part from China. Also, it would no longer start up after about 4 weeks of use and needed to be sent in for repair. The insured shipping (at my cost) is expensive. It feels cheaply built, and given early problems I wonder how long it will last. If I had to do it over I would definitely buy something more rugged and time tested. I would only recommend to someone who absolutely needs the small size and has some money to burn for eventual repairs.
hi-thanks for your input, not many mention those little downsides, thinking of placing an order and gathering info-how is it holding for you now?
Thanks for this great video! I noticed you are using a6500, right? The image quality of your slow motion shots (60fps or 120?) in the beginning look amazing. What color profile/ sharpness setting r u using? Cheers
Nicely done, thank!
Fantastic review, subscribed
unboxing is just the best feeling ever, second maybe is getting a package in the mail :)
Noealz Photo Get yourself a lady, and you'll discover something even better 😂
Hahaha!
Getting a package in the mail is low on my list of life’s pleasures. You never know if it’s an explosive device. But I agree that unboxing stuff you ordered is so satisfying 😋
brilliant review
You took your time to properly describe the setting up process.
Hence I gave you the thumbs up
Do you still have the G6 Plus? I would love to see a size comparison of the two. I have the weebil, but find it too big for my a6400. Wondering if the G6 would feel like a better fit. Awesome review BTW!
Cheers good review, All I want is the perfect gimbal.
I use a small manfrotto quick release with a peak design plate that way I can leave the plate on all the time and not have to rebalance unless I change lenses of course
That's a good idea. I haven't ever used the peak design plates.
what is this song?? i'm digging it! great review as well!
"Super super super super" good editing my dude.
Good review.
Really good video :-)
Is the feiyutech g6 plus value for money than this.
Nice timing.. just picked one up from B&H. Bit heavy for vlogging but it just means I'm too weak.Quick release for tripod handle is a MUST. Dude sold me just one so I have to go get another one.
which quick release?
Does the wireless image transmission work w/the rx100?
Nice work.
Thanks for watching!
Great vidéo 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
My low battery anxiety kicked in @6:01 🥴 the big bummer is follow mode needs constant pressure on that front button. That basically rules out its use in low angle mode 🥺 btw - the buttons can be locked out to avoid accidental operation when handheld. “Weebill” is the name of a small bird, I guess it fits being this is a small device that flies a camera.
Hey Chris whats the opening track? I heard it on MakeArtNow but been dying to know!
That's where I first heard it lol. I loved it. It's called "The Space Mechanic" by dvine.
@@ChristopherBurress Thanks man!! Good to see you doing videos still. SUPER review.
Thanks for this awesome video for the Weebill Lab! Was looking for a video like this because I'm planning to buy the Weebill Lab for my Canon M50 and was worrying that my M50 would be too light. What camera are you using? Is that the RX100 iii? You had no problems with it being too light?
Yeah it handled the rx100 with no problem.
@@ChristopherBurress thanks so much for replying and for this video! I have a question, what if I use a Canon M50 body which is very light and an adaptor to use a Canon 16-35mm f2.8 lens which is a very heavy one, it means that I have to mount it all the way back on the plate right? Do you think it will hit the gimbal if going into vortex or underslung? Thank you so much!
It's really tough to tell without trying it out.
@@ChristopherBurress thanks a lot for this video! This gave me a buying decision! I just got mine yesterday!
In your vlogging examples, did you hold it by the gimbal base, or the mini tripod extension?
Tripod extension I think.
Your knife choice is top notch!! Benchmade is the best!
I have a few, one of my guilty pleasures!
Yes is worth this month is in special only $450 on Amazon
Nice.
Would you recommend webill lab for canon 70d with 17-55mm tamron? In other words, loading a setup that weighs 1.5kg to 2kg be okay?
should be ok
What's your opinion between this gimbal and the crane 2 when it comes to stability?
Very similar as far as smoothness goes. There is a little latency when panning on the crane 2 that I'm not a big fan of. I think this one is a little more refined.
waiting for moza aircross 2
Nice
It can't support a big camera within 3k because size is too small,balance also a little difficult...Maybe it's not right for me
I’m pretty sure a wee I’ll is a type of bird, like the crane
You can lock the buttons man! :)
I mentioned that. But it's still an extra step that you need to go through twice to lock then unlock while trying to run the gimbal.
I just wanna run around shouting "WEEBILL"!!
BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!
I just got it for 270 :)
It broke on me after one month of use. It appears that screw, which held the mounting plate was not able to hold the plate and it was sliding back an forth. It broke on me while I was on vacation and all plans to do videos using gimbal went to handheld. I fixed the screw a day later even not having a proper screwdriver and using a knife to properly tight the inner screw with internal spring. Horrible design. Now I always worry that it will give up on my not in the right time and will always carry a proper screwdriver with me.
The screw that holds the split mounting plate together failed on you?
@@ChristopherBurress No. The screw, which is used first to balance the gimbal. The bottom screw, which adjust the plate front/back axis. The screw has inner thread which has a spring. If it is not tight, it will not hold the plate, even though outer screw is tight to the gimbal body. I need to get extra these screws, just in case they fail. Material is not that good for these screws.
I had the same problem too. you mean you were able to fix it by tightening the screw?
how were you able to tighten it?
@@halcyonramirez6469 The adjusting screw has 2 parts. The lever has inner screw and lever is attached to that screw by another tiny screw with a spring inside. If that tiny screw is not tight enough, lever will not adjust the plate, because it will stop earlier (about 1mm) earlier. Therefore it will not hold the plate in place. That tiny screw needs to be tighten by using very small screwdriver. I was able to use a knife to do that. Looks at the bottom part of the lever, and you will see that tiny screw cap for Allen Wrench screwdriver head.
I had the same problem aswell on 2 different levers. Zhiyun just sent me about replacement set. We’ll see if they’ve fixed their QC issues with this next batch
Come on really.... its a play on a toy from 1971. Wee bulls wobble but they don't fall down!
Weebil is Australia’s smallest bird...
I'd love to get a Weebill Lab but for every good comment from a owner I see there's two bad comments about it.
Like what? I can't imagine much bad to say about it
@@ChristopherBurress seems to be that it's a bit twitchy - but I'm wondering if that was the early production batch as I heard more recent production batches have improved.
I actually think it's much smoother than the crane 2 that I have.
@@ChristopherBurress that good to hear because it's a nice design. 🔥
Wow we live in the same area small world check out my Greenville vlog definitely subbed 🤚🏽❤️
G vegas!
