    Its obvious that the Dji seems to be more interesting...but I dont like the way you present the Weebill, you just denigrate all his aspects in a not very honest way, and in "drama way" too actually, (to not to mention other words) : Put brutally the cam on the gim to show is not so fast, or to talk about the handgrip, many times, "to small"(but its the same in the Dji, we are not blind, not more place) ; and you "test" staying sit...what the point ? I never watch a true good review of a gim remaining steated etc etc...I watch some reviews and when its deals with Dji Gimbals some filmakers become very quickly derogative with the others. Its not serious...

    I am considering the dji latest gimbal because of the payload but more specifically because of the technology. I am still using the original ronin S but I will update for sure to use the LiDAR feature as it will save you when you have to perform some shots with vintage/cine lenses. Otherwise all gimbals are excellent even if you don’t have a big budget to buy one. The only thing is price is linked to features that are supposed to ease your filmmaking life so it’s up to you to decide if you are okay to do things without these benefits (auto lock vs manual lock, wired control vs Bluetooth control etc). You have to measure the level of arduousness you agree to with me.

It is not a face off if the judge already had a side, this face off started 1:0 for the Ronin so it's not a fair match surely, otherwise it's still factually clear that the Ronin RS3 is better gimbal.

    That weebill design looks awkward. I've used the weebill s. Great product. After the Weebill s. They made very strange design choices. Eventually I upgraded to the crane 2s. The arms felt very weak. I recently used the RS3 pro for a wine store shoot. Honestly, I love the build quality, smoothness, and uncomplicated setup and design. That new weebill looks like a 2003 Honda Civic trying to be an innovative weebill s 2.0 but it's just got a bunch of stupid accessories on it.
