ZHIYUN CINEPEER Weebill 3E [Official] 3-Axis Camera Stabilizer for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras, Lightweight Gimbal Stabilizer Compatible with Sony/Canon/FUJIFILM/Panasonic, 3kg Payload,Native Vertical

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.

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 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.

As a product this really is 5 stars but in terms of usability it can potentially be a four star experience. Foe the price this is a great first gimbal - watching reviews it seems the Weebil 3e has exceptional performance against the competition, its high payload being a key selling point.Pros:- Fairly priced and regularly discounted late 2024/early 2025 due to new model coming out (it seems the newer 4e will have a stronger motor for telephoto lenses and a touchscreen)- High payload compared to other gimbals (3kg, weirdly Zhiyun don't make this info easy to find other than the Amazon listing title and some vids from reviewers).- Looks great, compact, feels good in hand- Depending on your camera and how you balance it, you can still have access to your battery compartment (I use a Fuji X-H1 + Tamron 17-70 2.8 so results may vary)- Once balanced well, it is very smooth and you can adjust the sensitivity of the joystick and scroll wheel movements- Really does feel tough- A few different modes to help with your gimbal movementSome cons to be aware of:- the styrofoam case makes it hard to transport this, unlike an actual travel case. But this gimbal can neatly fit in a bag without taking too much space- the actual design of the plate area can be an absolute pain to adjust correctly, sometimes the adjusters get in the way of taking the camera out or there's a bit of friction to finely tune easily etc. May need a wiggle and a double check to see why things aren't moving lol.- menu experience can be a bit cumbersome- KEY POINT: depending on your camera, the vertical mount option may be useless with the default plate. I have a big camera, and it was absolutely nigh impossible to get it balanced right or even comfortably positioned on the plate - this was a key selling point for me but I soon realised with a big camera it's absolutely not worth the headache to try and mount it vertically - it took the payload well but was not at all comfortable. If you have a smaller camera and lens then you should have no issue. So, yes, this crane has an exceptional payload at 3kg, but don't expect to use big cameras vertically!- the gimbal behaviour can be a bit off to 'reorient' or double tab for a selfie view. This could be user error but it seems inconsistent. Sometimes I will double tap the back switch to 'reset' the balance but it will sometimes refuse or do a selfie POV. I think the camera depending on mode selected seems quite specific, you need to hold the gimbal quite straight up or horizontal for it to 'reset'.Neutral:- Instructions are not at all useful, you'll need YouTube vids- your first couple of set ups may feel infuriating, be patient and let it takes as long as it needs to learn how to balance it properly. After. A few times you'll get quicker and a feel for how it balances with different lenses.- Make sure you have a camera/lens with good AFC if you plan to do gimbal movements

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.

This was bought to do a one off project work. Once I understood how to setup and balance the camera it has worked fine. It's a really nice piece of equipment. In itself it is not too heavy. But once the camera and a larger lens are setup the whole combination can feel quite heavy after a while. If I have any subsequent projects I think I would be inclined to buy the additional handle/rest accessory to make it more flexible to hold with both hands or carry underslung at low level.

Works perfectly for my needs. Not professional but very good for semi pro. The best in this price range.
