RSC2 and Weebill 2: *stare down* RS2: "On your left"

The best practical comparison I have watched on youtube. Subscribed

Ended up grabbing the RSC 2 over the Weebill 2. It was a tough decision but you helped most in the end with speaking of the design flaw. I leaned toward the Weebill 2 mostly for the weight it could handle, but that design flaw makes it more difficult to handle wide cams like the 6k Pro. Though I had to add a counterbalance, I saved a bunch and love the DJI's build, quality, and format; worked out very well for me. Thanks for your help!

Peter, thanks for excellent video. Helpful! 💛🙏🏼

Great video and I just subscribed - money and size wise and features etc there doesn't look to be much in it - I do like the way the Weebill is designed better for the low shots but from this vid it seems they both have their pros and cons. I'd love to see a review of a Gimbal where the battery can be replaced if there is such a product out there as this seems to be a major drawback with both these Gimbals

Thank you Peter, to make easier to choice between two gimblas...!

By far the best comparison. Makes sense to me.

Hi! I‘m shooting on my iPhone 11 Pro for now, but the Osmo Mobile isn‘t strong enough for when I attach a Moment Lens, counter-weights and an ext. microphone - „not strong“ meaning e.g. that it can‘t handle fast moves. So I was wondering if I can get the RSC2 to do the job that is to heavy for the small gimbals. Has anyone tried using that with a phone as camera? I know that only few RSC2 features will work in that setup, but I‘m referring to the stabilization only for now. Thx in advance!

I don't get why they didn't keep the old batteries on the weebill 2. I would love to use it on a wedding day, but 9 hours doesen't cut it for me. :/ Guess I have to stick to the weebill s.

Hey Peter. I just discovered your channel. Nice one. What gimbal would you say works best with an iPhone?

Zhiyun makes good gimbals, but I'm still going with the RSC2 for this one.

About your and others general complaint of the RSC2's arm adjustment screws: I found a solution! I ordered Camvate M5 Thumb lever screws and shortened them to make them work with the RSC2. That gives the RSC2 a similar solution as the RS2 has.

I currently use the RSC2. Not giving it up any time soon!

As a southpaw, I thank you for that one important point. The Weebill 2 is not leftie-friendly. Definite deal breaker.

Ty for the video. I subbed.

GREAT video, and I subscribed, but ugh, you threw me for a loop at the end, mate! I have an RSC2 Pro Combo on order -- should I return it and spend the extra $260 for the RS2 Pro Combo? I'll be shooting with an A74, but I probably won't use it more than once a week for motorcycle reviews.

Love your gimbal footage.

I bought the rsc2 pro combo a good few months back & haven't even used it yet. It's for my sony A9 & will also be the A7c or A7iv, the lenses are not particularly heavy either so the rsc2 was a more efficient setup for me. The pro pack in the uk I paid £569 whereas the rs2 is around £800 which is a substantial increase. I really need to make time to learn the gimbal & this channel will be one of my staples to go too. Thank you for the great content you put out

super presentation. I had same feeling, as a beginner, that rs2 is a better choice for robustness, look (red lines !). But isn't it a big monster in hands for a z6ii and Z35mm F/1.8 or Z24-70 F/2.8 ? it is like learning driving with a ferrari as first car :-) does rs2 fit your two bags ? are you using now rsc2 or rs2 for weddings... ?

Thank you for this helpful information. I was about to drop a lot of cash on a newer gimbal. I still haven't master the Weebill S yet lol. DJI RS2 really sounds great.

Thanks you ! About the Weebill 2, is it possible to get a video feedback on his smartphone with the Zhiyun TransMount AI Transmetteur vidéo ?

Hi Peter , I have a weebill 2. I bought a weebill 2 after watching your recommendation. However, I am having issues with the gimbal. Jittering occurs suddenly when i am filming even if I am just holding the gimbal filming a static shot. I have tried many ways from attaching the lens suport to prevent resonance. I am quire sure that I have it balanced correctly as I sent the video to the Zhiyun service center thru their online chat. do you have any suggestions ?

So you don't recommend any of the 2 gimbals you were comparing?

What a good comparison and I am looking to get my first camera gimbal, RS2 is tempting but price is steep. RSC2 seems more wallet-friendly for now, however, as your point in the video, replaceable battery is a huge selling point though.

@costinvaly1

2 жыл бұрын

Replaceable battery isn't a selling point for me. I've wasted 700$ for a Moza Air 2 when it first came out and had the most horrible batteries one could buy as “spares” (the gimbal took 4 pieces simultaneously), even branded by Moza themselves but finding at least one battery dead in a brand new 4pack or dying on you mid-shooting only 2 weeks later after purchase, it almost felt like Moza was making more money off the scam batteries than the gimbal itself, I bet it was all a part of their “con” plan, rebranded batteries with a 60% chance to die in the first month from purchase and even 90% rate of DOA for at least one of the batteries, which would force pro users to buy them like hot bread (55$/pack) just to have the warranty that the gimbal won't embarrass them in the middle of a shooting. I'm traumatized. I moved to DJI specifically for a “non-removable” battery that I know I can trust since DJi is “Apple” in the gimbal world and they wouldn't afford a high percentage of battery unreliability, at least for the first 2 years.

I like your focus on detail in the comparison but the verdict is really strange, as you make comparison of 2 gimbals and with one brief sentence you recommend just a third one :) Having said that, I must say that I agree wit you in 100%. I got RSC2 back in January with combo package, it was my first gimbal so I went after all gadgets like RavenEye and follow focus motor. And they turned out to be of no use for me. The last 6 months I spent explaining on forums that people should rather invest into RS2 or just save money and go with plane RSC2. Just as you said, for me the most important difference between RS2 and RSC2 and availability of accessories e.g. side and back handles which also have control buttons, therefore allowing to seamlessly lock, switch to sport mode without holding the gimbal in the center. With RSC2 one can only use dummy handles.

In that case you have a handle with buttons and the wheel allowing you to control modes from it. On RSC2 you can use external handles but never control the gimbals behavior with those. For example if you have 2 side handles, you will always need to reach to the center control panel on the gimbal to start/stop recording, switch to sport or lock mode.

Its about 400 dollar difference for the RSC2 vs RS2 here in China, and I'm not a believer of future proofing, as I only have a 2 year old ronin S but going to upgrade this week. The Raveneye makes it easier with regards to not using the joystick button, why aren't you using it though, it seems clutch.

Interesting video and no regrets that I went for the RSC2 a couple of months ago. I agree with your review, except for the following. RSC2 is just as easy to get into underslung mode. Just buy the smallrig or other brand back handle like I did as I didnt like the idea of using the hinge. I believe it was something you had recommended before. Secondly I dont know if a replaceable battery will make it last longer. Will it still be in production 5 to 6 years from now when it melts? Probably just the one used for the RSC5 which will run on a fuel cell instead.

Hello I plan to buy a stabilizer for my Sony DSC RX 10 M4 camera. I do photography as a hobby, I don't have much knowledge about stabilizers. That's why I only saw today that most stabilizers are not compatible with my camera. I would ask you to give me advice on which stabilizer to buy, or maybe even make a video about that problem with the Sony camera and stabilizer. I specifically like the Dji RSC 2 pro combo and the Zhiyun Weebill 2 pro kit .... but unfortunately I don't know if either of those two combinations would work with my camera? I hope you will find some time to give me advice on what to buy. I look forward to your reply. Best regards from Germany

Great comparison. I just got the DJI RSC2 Pro Combo recently and it's amazing. I was concerned when Zhiyun released the Weebill 2 literally a day after purchasing the gimbal. But after watching some reviews, I'm pretty satisfied with mine. I was also considering the RS2 but I'm only using an a6400 so it might be an overkill. Your comparison video explained a lot of their differences and it's been a great help.
