Thanks for this. I own the Weebill S, and almost pulled the trigger on the M3. The clearance issue is a deal breaker for me. I’ve owned many gimbals, but the Weebill S I think is my all time favorite. Perfect combination of portability and performance.

Do you think Weebill S is still worth it in 2023 if you can get it for like $200 used?

The best would be a combination of two. Better materials and solid locks from m3, the led light and the weight from the m3, the removable battery and the slung handle with fast attach, the longer arm from weebill s to handle 28-75 g2, the screen from m3, with the expansion base and microphone and bluetooth module control. The ease of balancing, arca swiss compatible plate with fast attach, the display of the precise motor setting from weebill s but displayed on the better screen of the m3. If Zhiyun creates this new gimbal, it would sale like crazy..for the price of the current m3…i am certain of that..it would beat everything around..it would become the new reference gimbal king.

@@markshirley01 the locks technology was new at the time of the weebill s. Some gimbal didn’t have it at all. At least these are not broken like people said. They should not need to send back for repair, and wait long weeks for that. The licks are simply misplaced after a shock. It is recommended to use the locks only for moving in the bag. Don’t keep the camera on the gimbal with the locks on except for bslancing and it should be ok. Some renowned reviewers place the weebill s as the best travel gimbal and the best battery gimbal. They all say it is not the best stabilization of all gimbals but it is good and you get good reliable footage. The cons is the locks design and the buttons on the handle which we can easily press by mistake but the button can be locked. Overall it is the less expensive and the more lightweight gimbal that can take big camera. Also the slung mode is the best to my opinion and it has the best battery design. But like all electronics that come from china, the issue is probably the customer service. At least this is the only model that don’t have an expiration date of 3/4 years because you can change the battery..the only one..

Any word on a revision to the Weebill S anytime soon? It’s been out for some time now.

This is an important information. I thought to it as well, as i know oled is subject to burn in if a symbol stay at the same place (this is why i would never buy an oled tv). Oled is also sensible to sun light..If they did not implemented a screen saver or pixel shifting technology , the crane m3 is not a good choice at all. The screen will become unusable very fast. I don’t know why they don’t use a qled type technology which can be very bright and no subject to burn in. These tech companies are stupid. I started to see computer monitor as well. This is terrible ideas. A computer screen stays on for a long time and some elements are very static. I have a vr headset oled. This is ok, as the picture change always, and we use it for a small amount of time. But the screen of a gimbal, or a monitor, this is terrible idea. People can use a gimbal u der direct sunlight with full brightness for hours..

Since I'm low un budget and I also have a small camera (zve-10) and shoot with my ohone from time to time too, i wanted to buy the m3s, but most of my videos are vertical and they all say the m3s is not that good for using in vertical mode. However, It seems using the vertical mode on m3s is more convenient since it doesn't need rebalancing. Can you help me make my mind please? (Another question, if I buy the standard version of the m3s, can i add a normal phone mount to it? Or it has to be it's own mount?

Small prime lens would not be an issue... if u use zoom lens u will see its having stabilisation issue.

I was considering the Crane M3 for my Sony a7C (instead of my current Weebill S), mostly for the light. But then realised that about the only time I 'might' need a light, is if I wanted to take some footage during an excursion on my mountain bike, and in that case, my bike has a nice little quick release, adjustable NR Lumina Oled 1100 light that I could probably just hold with my other hand! Also, I have a Crane M2 for my RX100 VA and (when comparing to the a7C with the Weebill S), the extra weight of the a7C and Weebill S seem to make videos more stable. Could the weight of larger gimbals be more stable that light little ones?

@markshirley01

2 жыл бұрын

What lens do you generally use with the A7C and the Weebill S

I am debating between Weebill Lab (the original one) and Crane M3. On the same stand, they are identical regarding the size (height) but M3 provides better stabilization due to a newer algorithm. But M3 has issues with A7IV where the front lever is blocked by a grip and the quick release plate seems to be not so durable to hold heavier loads. No dual protection from accidental unlocking, like Weebill Lab has. Plus Weebill Lab surely can hold more load, it is a little heavier (200 grams). In a long run, it will be felt in the arm.

Hello, I really appreciate your reviews, and other camera related videos. I purchased the crane m3 for use with my Sony A7SII and A7C. I have a Weebil S, and I like it a lot but wanted something smaller for travel. The issue I have with the Sony A7SII and the Crane M3 is the balancing seeing that it cannot rotate fully without hitting the back of the gimbal. How did you balance the A7SIII correctly without being able to even put the camera into that position when balancing? Also the quick release plate that comes with the gimbal as standard, requires that you remove the plate in order to attach the camera to your tripod, or even to change batteries. They don't list anywhere on their site where you can purchase the customized plates. Do you know where we can get these? Thank you.

Except the locks, and with firmware 2.07, the weebill s has not too much issues except maybe a shift on the vortex mode and turning the handle simultaneously. Except that it works. Locks design are not the best but can be self repair. And it has the best battery design. Crane m3 will be good for trash in less than 3 years. Dji battery are good for 3/4 years max.
