After seeing your Instagram story with the new Weebill S on it, I decide to wait for your review. And I just bought the new weebill today without any hesitation. Thanks for your down to earth review and answering all the major questions very clearly in your review. Especially the size and portability comparison. I am a crop sensor Mirrorless camera user (GH5 And XT3) and portability is my top priority without compromising the stability. My first impression with this gimbal it is really, really portable. Million thanks for great reviews.
I love watching your no-nonsense reviews!

I sold my $600 weebill lab for $200 bucks to get this weebill S. I bought it a week or two ago, but I’ve been out of town a lot, so I haven’t been able to use it yet. But knowing that it’s so much sturdier that the Lab makes me excited to use it and film again. I use the a7iii with the Tamron 28-75 mostly and in the weebill lab it wasn’t good at all. Very twitchy, so excited to see what how the S performs. Great review!

7:54, I think that the 24mm GM does not have OSS, the caption probably referes to IBIS instead as you have stated? The footage is still incredibly smooth though, how do you walk so smoothly? :) I will probably get the 16-35 F4 as it has OSS for additional stabilization and I mostly need it for video and the range. Have you had a change to test an OSS Sony lens on some of the gimbals? Thank you.
Thank you very much for a great review. It looks so compact. Would you travel with this gimbal or do you prefer a stand-alone camera with good Ibis (G9) for your travels .
@TheHybridShooter

You're welcome! If I was making high production value travel video, I would take this gimbal. IBIS can't replace gimbal because it it different kind of stabilization. With gimbal you can make smoother camera movements, it keeps the horizon leveled and so on.

I have Sony 7C, is it possible to make at least REC button to work on this gimbal? I tried everything., changed it to Panasonic in settings like some ppl recommend , updated firmware, thinking to return it as this thing is useless with my camera it seems.
Very very useful video and thank you for that. I make my question in 2022, cause now I need a gimbal for my sony a7iii. Can this gimbal handle a7iii with sony 24-105 f/4 or this setup is too heavy??? Thanks in advance.

Thank you! My advice is to forget about those features on any gimbal. Using buttons on the camera is more convenient. Tracking is more of party-trick rather than a useful feature.
So you can't use in body stabilization with the included cord with a Sony camera? Does this also mean that you can't use the focus wheel with Sony cameras?
@TheHybridShooter

Focusing is not related to that. The focus wheel only works with additional follow focus motor. You are better off using AF if you have newer Sony camera.
