Man your footage looks so crisp I just cut my eyeball. makes me jealous.
Awesome to hear your views on the gimbal man!
Thanks big man 🙌
@@AxTechs Of course, I'm a fan of James!
@James Matthews and @Peter Lindgren make a video collab. i will love it. see me best vlogger togetherrrrr...
collab should make the cut.
Please welcome Peter Matthews & James Lindgren.😂
AxTech James is your favorite videographers favorite videographer. Legit
Yesss you lot! I know this review is a tad late, but I honestly wanted to see how this Gimbal performed long term. I hope you like the Short Film I posted yesterday I shot with it as well! What shot from the intro is your favorite? Posting frame rates bellow 👇 Thanks for the Likes and support guys it means the world ✌🌎😁
00:11 - 00:14 60fps / 00:15 - 00:25 24fps / 00:29 - 00:50 60fps Boshh
@@Jamesmatthews that 60 fps is so smooth!
The pull out shot with the subject above the clouds is legit🤘🏼
@@NateReimers Thanks dude!
James Matthews it’s nice how you’re representing 60fps right!!🔥🔥🔥
Hey James! Love your videos! Been looking at the Weebill S for my new a7Siii but have a question about the Manfrotto-compatibility of the camera mounting plate. Basically, how compatible is it? Is this like the plate on the Ronin S... where it was slightly smaller than Manfrotto... so you could put a camera with the DJI plate on it into a Manfrotto head (sort of... it's still a bit wobbly), but not the other way around? Or is the Weebill S's mounting plate TRULY compatible with Manfrotto heads? Thanks!
That manfrotto plate you will have to slide it out off the gimbal (didn't show it on video) in order to use it in manfrotto fluid heads. So when you slide it back in the gimbal you will have to balance it which honestly I do it in matter of 10 seconds (considering you have the same setup when you took it out the first place)
You can buy something to mount on the plate of the weebil s, for mounting the plate of your camera you already have (did you understand ?)
@@benjaminespuche9734 thank you both for your replies.
This gimbal is a beast! Just brought it around Spain for the holidays. Perfect for traveling 👌
Shervin Koushan Yeah man! Best one I’ve used for sure
Nice and detailed review
I have used the crane 2 though I don't own one and i love the experience.
Seems you won't be needing your crane 2 and lab gimbal again. You can send it over to me .
Would appreciate thanks.💪🏼
But how does your footage look when running or moving a lot?
Where we get basic functionality video
Would it be good for action shots like shooting a dance video? Or is it best for slower movements like panning?
Just got my first gimbal; super stoked. You can actually use the Weebill S in Inverted mode like other gimbals and the Pan Follow still works fine. You have to switch to Pov mode, then turn it upside down to the left(the side without the motor), then switch to PF(or any other mode you'd like to use). Switch back to Pov mode to turn it right side up without freaking out the motors(turn it to the left again).
Thank you!!! Wonderful start and wonderful video!!
Thank you so much for your review! There are so many gimbals out there, it's hard to know who to listen to. Your footage speaks for itself and your review comes from experience and is genuine. Thanks again! Keep up the great work!
Super clean bro!
YCImaging Thanks my guy 🙌🏻 Hope you’re well
@@Jamesmatthews q1À
Thanks James. I just bought one of these. Have only seen gimbals on postcards before, I seriously need videos like yours!!
The most thorough review I've seen so far! Nice one.
Cracking video bro! Love that you actually tested this properly before giving an honest review! 👊🏼💯
Kyan Gillett Hell yeah man, gotta be done you lot my homies
James Matthews aha yes bro!
Dude.. I am 50 seconds and i got to say you frustrate me, like those movements are simple and clean and the colors are just butter. Keep giving that fire bruh.
Holy shit dude that intro was sick. Serious skill!
This is the weebill s review that I've been waiting for, a proper one! Thanks mate.
Sam Genodepa Hellll yeah!
It's 2021 and this review is still relevant. I'm gonna buy it! Thanks James!
Awesome review. Love the honest and straight talking!
Thanks for this awesome video mate! I was looking for a review and this totally blasted it. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Love the style of this - great content plus humility - love it
Hello mate! Glad I found your channel now I can't type this without hearing your accent in every word. Which is AWESOME! Also stellar review on the Weebill S!
Perfect color grading, cinematic and epic. Amazing move I can learn
Love seeing the boys in epic footage!!! Can't wait for you to get back to the states man, we need to hit the road and get some epic shots!
Just ordered one now! Thanks for the review! Keep up the great work! :D
Thanks for doing this review six months in. I get much more out of these long term reviews than when someone does a review on the very first use of the product. This really does seem to be the gimbal for me. Thanks for sharing,
Brilliant video man and a really helpful review too. I don't subscribe to many... but now I'm watchin' you. Thanks.
Going to order this now! Thanks for this review.
I wanted to do a review about that on my new CZcams Channel as well but you already explained everything so well! Thanks for that James! This one is really a good option 👍🏻🙂
Bruh your footage is unbelievable! I love the "movie" aspect to the color grades. I've been trying to figure that color profile out for AWHILE
amazing video!
I plan on owing one as well! good to see your review 6 months later!
Exceptional cinematography James. Fun and insightful review. Bosh!
I think this was the first review I sat through .. and watched the whole thing good job !!
Very informative, with some comedic relief a pretty cool episode, Thank you for being very edu-taining, with a really nice compositions too!
Crisp & clear review James, you the man!
Jonas Togo Thanks fella!!!
Montage and filming is awesome at the begging of your review. Thanks for the video!
That intro though....😱 is on a whole other level of quality, epicness, cinema-vibe...... I’m ded 😍
Just the colors in your intro reel made me subscribe. Awesome.
Love your work. You are an inspiration to those like myself starting our own CZcams channel.
Hey thanks for the video, so glad you mentioned inverted mode not working I hope they sort it!
great video boss loving the true review
Yes mate, I do enjoy this little cheeky video, nice one!
Bro your color grading is truly unreal. Sick work with it as always
Mate that Cinematic B-Roll is insane I enjoyed this Vlog 🙏🏽
Good review. 6 months of use and not a bad word about it 💪🏻 I'm seriously considering buying it
Class mate! Thanks for this. Purchased it this morning!
Bosh! Finally pulled the plug after perving over gimbals for years. Got this around mid-Dec, follow-focus, transmission, the works. Just finally getting round to playing with it between client shoots.
You say it's the best one you've used, I say, Imma have to do some learnin' and practicin' mate. Even with the 28-70 kit I'm all over the place. God knows where I'm gonna be at with my 50 1.8 or the Viltrox 85 1.8 on it.
Back 2 skool mefinks.
Banging vid as always tho brother. Peace.
I just got mine I love it for sure! I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the vortex mode rotate faster tho!
Your colours are so punchy and epic. How have I never seen your stuff before!
How would this gimbal work with an external mic, like the Rode Pro+, mounted on top of the A7iii?
Mate always busting it out with the MEGA choons mate!
I'm still rocking the Lab, but starting to really want some of the features the S has. Cheers for this mate, solid video as usual. Love mate!
Sick with it James! Killing it seriously! I’m still at the bar learning how to carry 4 pints of beer to my pals without dropping them..getting gimbal training b4 I get the right gimbal but the OG Weebill lab is what I have my eye on. Thx for you badass videos keep up the real motivation compa
Pirata PRO_4k Someone who spends most of their life getting the rounds, can operate a gimbal like a god
DAMN, the moment the track started playing , I gave this a MAJOR LIKE !
Stunning footage!
The travel b roll shots look sick James 🤯 can’t wait for the video , with this shots 😅
Hilarious, useful, and stunning footage. Dude, that's the trifecta! Great work.
OI OI SAVELOY the big man has just uploaded 😍 Mate absolutely fantastic gimbal review, the geeza has done it again ✌️
Love your content! Would love to see a vid on your custom settings to get the smoothest possible movement. The factory settings aren’t bad but I feel like they could be improved upon
I had to pick this one up for myself as well bro! This review helped a lot with that decision! Cheers!
You’re legit man. These are good reviews. Super talented.
Do they have an API for that gimbal remote or can it only be controlled and viewed via phone?
Haha, refreshing review. Thanks for the energy!
Awesome opening! I really enjoyed this one!
Just picked this up. Early tests are incredible
Your shots are so crispy!
Super helpful! Thanks!
Great video! I love that you don't over romanticize gear so I really trust your reviews and honest opinion. I'm about to get a sigma 18-35 to adapt to my Fuji and I think I might need to upgrade from my weebill lab to this
I saw your video first time I'm become your fan amazing shots.
Your content and channel a real inspiration to me, awesome.
You had me at 'it hasn't go any pixels'
I've been wanting to order a gimbal for a while, and after watching this video I finally pulled the trigger.
after watching this video.... I ordered one online! Thanks for a great informative video!
Solid review... thank you!!
“It hasn’t got any pixels”
* sad look on his face......
That’s why i subscribed 😂😂😂
Intro footage is so clean dude
Thanks for the great review as always. I just bought one yesterday. How are you rigging up your microphone without it hitting in sling mode? Are you recording audio separately? Are you mounting on the side or something?
Am sooooooooooooooooooo jealous of that color grading OMG!!!!
Best review of the weebill s I've seen so far
2020 and still BAFFLED by the quality of your work.. Time to revisit your colour grading tutorial 😂
Nice to see a review from someone who is actually using the product ;)
Just got this as my very first gimbal for my Panasonic GH5. Can't wait to get creative with it
Nice.. This is a solid piece of kit for sure.. Great work.
Great review! I have been looking at these to maybe replace my Ronin S. I used to use Zhiyun and i feel like they work better FOR ME than the DJI Ronin s. Will have to try this one now.
Can't wait to get mine!
I've seen some of your videos before, but never seen your outdoor footage. Those mountain shots are so dope!
Video aside, I just love how you use the music 😍
Banger video dude!!! That intro 🤯🤯 you know how to grab our attention ey? 😉 killer review 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Man, your colors and contrast are beautiful. If you sell LUTs I would buy those instantly.
You are a pleasure to watch lol pixels had me rolling..post more my guy 🙏
Mario Visions 😂😂😂 Thanks man 🙌🏻🙌🏻
6:04 "I'm not saying my biceps ain't strong..." LOL
of course they are...
I am confused about the whole 6 months thing. It wasn’t released until mid October. I had a pre production version about two weeks before that. So basically 3 months!
Wow Mr Bloom it’s a pleasure! Thanks for stopping by 😊 I got the very first Beta version in August mainly for testing and to give feedback / Opinions on performance etc (granted, it wasn’t great at the time, mainly the motors had too much power. Obviously the final version is much more stable and leaps ahead). Just for clarification. Thanks for all the inspo over the years mate 👍🏻
James Matthews wow!! August? That must have been flakey as hell as my October one was! 😂
James Matthews it’s a pretty cool little gimbal and love the image TX!
Philip Bloom I’m sure you’ve seen that Spinning Gimbal meme flying about. That meme may as well have been me with the First Beta Version 😂
legit insane gimbal!
Great vid! The zoom/focus addition mandatory/ big time saver? Appreciate your feedback..
Hi James, always fun to watch your stuff. Thank you!
You asked for problems: I do have one problem with my Weebill S: when I hold the main handle at about 45 degrees, do a panning motion, holding down the Follow button to change the tile of the camera, as soon as I let go of the follow button, the gimbal jerks to a new position. Very annoying. I hope Zhiyun will notice and fix in future firmware.
Second problem: the pan speed that I get with the main handle vertical is different (faster) than the pan speed I get when the main handle is at 45 degrees (which I find to be a more comfortable angle to film at). Also annoying.
But agree that if they can fix these issues, this is THE gimbal!
Thanx bro great review :) I think that's the gimbal for me.
James! Incisive and fascinating vid! Helpful and fun. Cheers from the States! 😎
Good stuff mate, keep it up!
Best review of the weebil s I've ever seen.
Time to save!
Great review man. Have had this since the day it came out and I also love it! I use it all the time and have never had any issues. I was a little worried at first cause it's so small I thought it would break one me. But nope, it's solid!
Great review
I really like this gimbal, except for one thing : I would like them to implement in the ZY app a function similar to motion control in the ronin sc. A way to record movements, positions, keyframe all that and replay it, like Josh Yeo did in his video titled "Master MOTION CONTROL and 3 other features of the Ronin-sc".
Cool review! I like that it's so compact. Can i handle my R5 with the RF 28-70??
Ahh, you know I've been waiting for this! What better than a 6 month review, and especially after all that banging work you put into it in your last film, I'm sure you know this gimbal like the back of your hand! I use the Ronin-S and I swear by it, but damn this thing is tempting to add to basket! Thanks for the review, you have yourself a great evening J 🔥
Thanks mate! Ronin S is still a sick gimbal, just a bit big and heavy for my liking personally
@@Jamesmatthews It is aweome, I love the recent update where you can use your Xbox/PS4 controller to control 3 axis at the same time! That's the deal though, it's too big and heavy for travelling, might have to pick one up at NAB!
Oh yeah, I'm, in. Dang. BTW your footage, is BEAUTIFUL. Inspiring, goodness!!
