ZHIYUNCINEPEER Weebill 3E 3-Axis Camera Stabilizer for DSLR and Mirrorless Camera, Lightweight Gimbal Stabilizer Compatible with Sony/Canon/Panasoni,Native Vertical Shooting/Bluetooth Shutter Control

The media could not be loaded. Just received today and had a quick play with it..... Here you see my Panasonic gh5s+basic small rig cage attached. It will take you a few minutes to suss out the baseplate locks and release I imagine. The important thing to know is you need to press in little silver buttons underneath to allow the baseplate to fully slide you camera on and off the gimble. I love that the thumb joystick when pushed gently allows the gimble to pan/tilt the camera slow and smooth if desired. It has auto calibration which is cool if you press it each motor udders gently until the system is happy with full balancing. Each arm has a lock on it making the self balancing very very easy. What is also really like about this gimble is the supplied tripod stand is really good... It locks in tight to extend the gimble handle when legs are folded giving you good extended grip.... The legs fold out wide and low giving the gimble good steadiness when sitting on ground/table.Yes I am super pleased with this new gimble. It's a super product. I've used lots in productions in the past and this is definately a great one. Now all I need to do is buy the add on attachment arm for ease of use. I do as a working director... Recommend this gimble. The rubberized ergonomic grip feels great in the hand too. This video is me playing with it pretty much straight out of the box. Hope it may help you.

It struggled to mount my 24-70 gmaster lens on the a7iii without restriction the zoom ring, other than that it seemed to be able to handle the weight much better than the DJI RS3 Mini.

Excellent quality. A bit fiddley and time consuming setting the balance on all the axis points but it MUST be done properly for good results. Charging cable fine but the camera to gimbal cable used to operate the camera shutter doesn't fit my camera (Canon 200d ii). I might get a cable to fit but it has Bluetooth connectivity which is fine. Certainly takes some practice but I guess the same is true of all gimbals. I bought it to help with a special video project and I have to say I'm really pleased with it.

Superb design and high quality build demand 5* rating. The unit was ordered Wednesday and arrived Thursday - today is Friday, so I can only give first impressions - so far, I'm delighted, especially with the weight, quality and price. I'm going on a Northern Lights cruise in November and bought this item well in advance to prevent my photos and videos being ruined by vibration. This gives me plenty of time to learn how to use this complex item. My only slight negative so far is the lack of a suitable padded carry bag.

It’s compact and potable, especially for solo creators. Easy to setup and good battery life. And it’s really the best value for money.

PROS-great for lighter mirrorless cameras and DSLRs (a Nikon Z8 and pro lens is a bit of an ask)-very easy to configure (once you know what you’re doing)-relatively light weight-very good build, super solid (it’s going to last years)-solid handle (as another reviewer mentioned: if you get noise from the handle when you move your hand, on-camera audio is going to pick that up, and it’s maddening!)-better implementation for moving from landscape to portrait orientation than most gimbals I’ve worked with (which often need an extra purchase to put the camera in portrait orientation)-Good use of quick-release plate (which is in register when you put the camera back on: no need to rebalance)-battery charges quickly, with a PD power source (QC too)-always nice to have camera control (via bluetooth) from the gimbal’s controlsCONS-user guide could use a lot more info (because I’m familiar with gimbals and their uses, I was able to get up to speed pretty quickly, but because this is their more “consumer” product line, I’d expect a lot more work to be put in so that new users can more quickly become comfortable with this gimbal).NOTES-I have a gimbal from a competing brand that is more “pro”, and I hang a _lot_ of kit on it (and off the sides, and bottom, and back and and and…). This one is brilliant for my lighter setups, when I want to just run-and-gun. Takes a bit of work to move between brand interfaces, but I’m practicing.MY STAR RATINGS:1* substandard, mostly cons2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros

With 1/2 year experience on DJI RS3 mini, it quite disappointed me a lot due to the bad performance, and it couldn’t completely fold after balanced with the camera. Beside the gimbal i also bought the extended tilt arm from Smallrig and the extended camera base plate from Falcam, they cost me almost half of the gimbal but not helping to have better stability or balancing the camera. In this half of the year, I would rather use RS3pro for the weddings, and RS3 mini for some essential works.I really wanted a light weight gimbal to replace my RS3pro, and now Weebill 3E is the final anwser.I owned different brands of gimbal and Zhiyun was not my favourite before, especially after the Crane3s announced I thought they just having too much fancy functions on the gimbal, but not concentrating on make it more compact and stable. I owned Weebill S and Weebill Lab before, the performance couldn’t compare with my Pilotfly and RSC2, the Follow mode was just awful. After a few years I’m now having the Zhiyun gimbal again, the build quality on Weebill 3E is way better than the former Weebill I owned, some button ergonomics could be improved but that’s already very close to the gimbal what I want: compact, steady, simple.Great work Zhiyun!
