This Should Not be Allowed - Zhiyun Cinepeer Weebil 3E

you know how when your mom tells you not to do something and it kind of makes you want to do it even more right like your mom tells you hey don't put this r5c and the sigma 20 for 70 onto the new zooming cine weo 3E cuz it's too heavy and it won't balance and it's too big and it's too long and the whole balance thing will be thrown off you're like is it is it really going to be thrown off is it really not compatible like even though I looked on the list of officially compatible camera and lens models and it's like yeah this is supported you can't put the r5c and the sigma 2470 on there I'm like I'll try it I'll take my chances so I shot a whole event with it um and uh here's how it went so over the weekend we had an event to shoot it was at Sy Gear with smwi and we were shooting their video for their highlight video recap of the event uh and we used the 3E along with the Canon r5c to shoot for the whole 6h hour day fun fact was that uh when I first got this gimbal I really thought that I could put the Canon r5c and the sigma 2470 onto this gimbal um cuz I was using the I'm using the Canon C70 and that thing is a big boy and that would definitely not fit probably on this gimbal I kind of want to try it though but yeah it probably won't fit on this gimbal so I was like let's go smaller let's go let's take the r5c and I rented one out and I put that camera on this Gimbal and I found out you actually can't balance it like you physically can't balance it onto this gimbal because the eyepiece in the back of the camera it hits the back of this pan tilt roll axis thing it just doesn't balance so I balanced it as much as I could um but just keep in mind that with the Canon r5c setup it's still improperly balanced like there's no way to actually balance the whole gimbals and then really quick let's just go over the specs I'm going to put it right here good cool yeah all right cool so even though that the Canon r5c was not able to properly balance onto this gimbal it actually performed incredibly well like all the shots were super smooth I was actually kind of surprised like I knew it wasn't balanced properly and uh when I was using it like I was panning I was kind of tilting I doing the follow mode um it was surprisingly smooth one thing that I've always loved about theine gimbals is how this trigger button in the front is reprogrammable that's one unique thing that I really love about this so you can reprogram this to be like the follow of mode you can go into the POV mode The Vortex mode you can change this up to be whatever you want to so that gives you a lot more like flexibility so that I can easily go from pan follow mode which is the kind of default that everyone uses or I use a lot wait let me just uh let me just put this on here really quick USR balanc okay okay this is totally balanced guys this is oh shoot this is totally balanced just don't look so my default mode is in pan follow mode which is PF right here and so what I like to set my trigger to B is follow so I tap it once and it'll go into follow mode right and then in pf basically if you tilt down the camera doesn't really tilt down it just stays in place that's pan follow mode if you tap it once it goes into follow mode which I like a lot because then the camera actually follows exactly what you're doing if you're tilting the gimbal down then the camera also tilts down I was mostly on the follow mode the entire day uh pan follow mode I used it here and there but 90% of my shooting time was on the follow mode because I don't know I just like it I just like using the follow mode I like being able to move the camera as I would if I'm shooting it with a handheld which is nice the only thing that I could not do was this right here because the eyepiece would actually be bumping into the uh roll axis in the back right here so I just could not get past like right here this was like the most I could maneuver in terms of like tilting the gimbal like that now when I was shooting the event I actually did not do any like crazy customiz ations into the onto the gimbal like no algorithm changes like to the Dead Pan the pan speed or the follow speed or anything like that so I just used it right out of the box which was already really good so it was very smooth the reaction time of the gimbal was very fast uh which I in the future I might actually lower that down just a little bit so it doesn't look too jerky for me I would like it to have a slower little bit of a slower reaction so if I turn here it should have like a half second lag before it turns the camera if that makes sense so for me that I find that creates a bit more of a cinematic more cinematic footage now coming from a bigger setup like the DJI RS3 Pro and the Canon C70 those are those are chunkier equipment that's a chunkier Gimbal and a and a cinam camera coming from that and then going to something that's so small like this thing fits on a A4 size piece of paper when it's folded up so it's very small and it's also really light when I picked it up I was like huh my shoulders aren't dying my uh my my wrists my hands my arms aren't dying like my back isn't dying this is this is a nice little change of pace this is nice I can shoot on this for like hours and hours and hours so in terms of battery life I used up about maybe 50% of the battery on a 6-hour shoot and again this this this whole setup was not properly balanced so the fact that it lasted that long for a 6- hour shoot you know uh it's pretty good so I would imag IM if you had a lighter setup if you actually properly balanced it it should last you about 16 hours max um of battery so that's probably going to cover pretty much all your shooting needs for the whole day if you're shooting more than 16 hours you're kind of crazy I don't I don't know you got a long event or something that's that's kind of crazy I really like this OLED screen because when I was shooting I found myself looking and checking to make sure how much battery life I had left and also which mode I was on that was really important to be able to quickly see and glance at it and be like okay okay I'm in pan follow mode I'm in or I'm in follow mode so that's nice so if I click it it will just show you f which means follow mode I click it again it's going to be pan follow mode and then apparently there's a native portrait mode switch which uh it's like you can mount to vertically I've never done it and I probably won't ever use it on a uh on a gimbal um but let's try it out I'm going to put this thing to sleep uh it's balanced by the way it's balanced it's balanced don't don't look don't look don't let's try it out let's put the uh how do you do this let's put it into portrait mode so you're going to take what this off take this off okay there's a little pin right here is that oh oh okay and then it just okay let me close the screen right now okay so then there's that little mounting uh point right here on the side so we're just going to it goes like this oh wo wao okay okay so then it just goes like that oh oh that's cool cool so there's the knob at the Tet is right here okay so now it's not going anywhere o wait this is so easy though that's cool okay so that's how you do it that's how you switch from horizontal to Vertical there's an autotune function which I really like I think all gimbals need that where it will adjust the strength of the motors according to the weight and the payload of your camera and your lens that is really nice because you're now letting the gimbal determine what motor strength it should set itself to in order to properly operate this camera and lens combo like the gimbal is actually doing tests that you don't have to guess should I set it to low motor strength medium motor strength High uh there's no guessing anymore so now you're able to just let the gimble automatically do its thing and you're good to go all right Bluetooth shutter control this gimbal has Bluetooth connectivity which means that you can connect the Gimbal and your camera via Bluetooth and you can control the camera via the gimbal using Bluetooth which is kind of cool so now you don't have to use that uh connector USBC USBC cable to connect it to your Gimbal and your camera anymore so now you can okay I haven't done it I haven't done it yet so let me try to do that really quick Mo menu forication bluetooth remote menu Bluetooth connect oh that was fast oh wow so it's literally just a couple button presses so you have to turn on the Bluetooth on your camera and then pair it onto the gimbal using you know through go through the menu go through there and then go to Bluetooth shutter and then it will automatically detect the camera already like it's already it was already there when I opened up the menu so now if I I should be able to just record I'm going to press record wait is it okay press record waa it's actually recording wo that's cool oh it also has like half press too on this on this button half press to like Focus or whatever right now it's getting focused full press it you can there's like a haptic feedback there's like a like a double pressing kind of thing and then it actually records onto the camera that's pretty cool okay not bad okay okay ding I see you so one thing to note is that the Bluetooth on your camera is going to drain the battery a little bit faster so just kind of keep that in mind as you're using Bluetooth um obviously the longest battery the B most battery saving option is to just connect it via the cable but you know if you don't like the cable or if you don't have a cable the Bluetooth functionality is also pretty nice oh this is cool one thing I would love to change is I would love to change this uh whole part right here with the joystick and the two buttons right here like just to the bottom like below the uh OLED screen right here it's nice it's fine you know what I mean like I I can reach it with my thumb but it's just a little awkward cuz I have to go over here a little bit like I kind of have to reach a little bit in order to get to the joystick and the record button and the menu or the mode button right here I would love it if it was like just down here where my thumb would naturally be so I can just kind of like right go like that operate joystick Press buttons and like that um they have it on the older models but minor thing it's all it's a minor thing all right so ultimately who is this gimbal for I recently had someone who was shooting real estate videos ask me hey what kind of gimbal should I get uh I'm shooting with my phone right now and I kind of want to upgrade to something a little bit bigger I want to shoot on an actual camera and maybe get a gimbal so we can get better looking shots this is a gimbal that I would highly recommend to someone who is in that position right you're you're trying to upgrade your camera your footage from a smartphone to an actual mirrorless camera like a smaller actual mirrorless camera this would be what I would recommend something budget something nice and easy to use uh and it's very light and it's not very fatiguing you can shoot for a long time this is it this is the weeo 3E so if you want to learn more about this game I have a link down below check it out it's a great first entry level gimbal if you're looking for something like that so I mean that's that's PR much it I'm going to go play pickle ball now so I'll see you later my name is Alex CH and I'll see you later bye yeah this is going to be fun this going to be fun this going to be fun yeah that's a good gimbal it's a good little gimbal
