In this review, we are going to dive into why the Zhiyun Wheebill S is the best gimbal currently on the market.

The Weebill-S is a 3-axis gimbal designed for mainstream mirrorless and DSLR cameras. It features a lightweight and compact body design, and even allows you to shoot in a “sling” mode giving you an effortless shooting experience.

Power

Power, power and more power. The Weebill-S comes with upgraded motor units and a high-precision algorithm. Combos such as the Sony A7III + 28-70 G-Master used to be problematic due to weight and clearance issues. With the Weebill-S, it now works flawlessly. Simply mount your camera on the Weebill-S and it will auto tune its power to adapt to your setup.

Image Transmission

The all-new TransMount Image Transmission Module is compact in size and can be directly mounted under the quick release plate neatly. Although this does come as an added accessory, it is nice to know that it is available. With 1080P 30fps highly synchronized transmission (100-meter distance) featuring LUT, Pseudocolor, Focus peaking, Zebra Stripes, professional monitoring and live streaming can be easily achieved on a gimbal.

Design

The compact size makes the Weebill-S the perfect travel gimbal for work or adventures. It can even fold down if you are tight on luggage space. The Weebill-S can be used in the standard upright position, or underslung mode by reconfiguring the bottom handle. Gone are the days of having to perform a magic trick in order to shoot underslung sequences. The components on the Weebill-S have a quality feel and if you’ve been happy with Zhiyun builds in the past, you will enjoy this one.

Verdict

This is without a doubt the best gimbal on the market for mirrorless and DSLR camera setups. Grab one today on Amazon.
