excellent

And rsc2 has expiration date 3,4 years

​@@CC-gt3ro That actually makes so much sense, especially with those non removable/servicable batteries

InstaBlaster.

Lol nooooooo don’t leave because of that 😜

@@JakeSloan Haha, I have to add to the comment about vertical filming: KZfaq and our computers/tv's are what we are used too of course, but if you are working for brands that have Instagram as there social platform for campaigns, i think it's better to use vertical content for IGTV and stories. Because it takes up more of the phone screen. If you would put horizontal video's on there, people are more likely to scroll further. :) When filming I find it hard to choose, because you have to think about where you are going to use the footage for. Globally, 68.1% of all website visits in 2020 came from mobile devices.

@@JakeSloan If you compare the top social platforms you see a mobile/vertical trend. Facebook 2,23 billion users. 98% mobile users (vertical) KZfaq 2.0 billion 70% mobile users. I think a lot of users tilt it, so this is more horizontal. Instagram 1 billion mobile oriented. Based on last year.... Even youtube comes with these vertical snippets now. Having said that. Cinema, TV, computers will be there for the longer horizontal videos! There's just a shift going on.. Thank you for the review Jake!

agreed!

very good investment. The RSC2 is a great gimbal

you're welcome

Thanks!

Exactly right! Thanks Paul!!

you're welcome cheers!!

It does feel better for sure

You’re welcome!

Thank you very much!!

You're welcome

agreed!

Very true on the vertical video. As much as I hate it lol.

In fact the locks are not reallly broken but simply displaced inside. So you can open the plate, simply unscrew the 4 screw with smallrig tool, on roll and tilt axis and replace the spring and two other plastic correctly. Another things is tripod leg that become loose , but again you can self repair by screw them back as a contrary to other gimbal. From what i see on the reviews the weebil s is a good gimbal at good price with good payload clearance, ease of balancing, lightweight, compact, easy to repair, giving great result, with a nice low footage with slung handle.

@@CC-gt3ro so they are easy to fix - thanks - good to know. 👍

@@markshirley01 the only one where i don’t see the panel to open is the pan axis on the handle but i bet only the tilt and roll axis are displaced on 99% of peuplé, probably due to a shock. I would recommend not to keep the camera and lock on for any other thing than balancing. It is not for transport with the camera on the gimbal. It is for balancing and transpott in the bag without the camera. But yes tilt and roll axis locks can be self repaired. There is a video showing it. I think you can search ´weebill s locks repair’ it should give you a result probably.

Thanks a lot and I agree!! Zhiyun has done a lot of gimbal design... Even DJI is copying their image transmission system lol

Unfortunately I no longer have the Ronin SC to compare with but maybe I can find one to borrow and compare...

I haven't been having that issue but I would say do a full calibration with it and see if that fixes it.

I agree the RSC2 is not a big upgrade more of a side step from the weebill S. If you needed heavier loads or larger loads then the RS2 would be the way to go. I don't know if I can get my hands on one to compare but I will try! Cheers

Lol thanks Sunrise!! I’m glad someone caught that one 😜

Seeing this comment 2 years later is kinda ironic now with the way reels and shorts blew up 🤣🤣🤣

it should just screw in the side

Oh dang

Hmm I’ll have to look at that

Thanks! I have had trouble with the image transmission system from time to time but usually a firmware update fixed it. One thing to keep any eye on is I accidentally switched mine to a different band and once I got it switched back everything was working again.

very good point

Thanks

Mine broke due to heavy use over the course of one year so not that bad really

it does in most ways

raven eye doesn't work with the a7c?? why not I don't see why it would be different from the other sony cameras. If you plan to go Weebill I would wait just a bit longer to see what they will release

@@JakeSloan that was my expectation when I bought the camera, however how i understand it the RSC2 with Raveneye needs 3 cables connected to be set up properly, and the A7C is lacking one of the ports required (Sony multi). There are workaround videos on KZfaq, however, they seem extremely cumbersome.

I do on the longer videos

Thanks Eddie! I am too, I loved the weebill s but after a year of daily abuse it was starting to fail...

Hey Charles, Yes, I just saw the last Weebill S firmware gave us the timelapse mode directly through the gimbal, without the need of the app. Sounds perfect to me, I will give a try asap. Btw, I've just made a little shooting with a firend today. She had the RSC2. While it looks nice, sturdy and coming with a great grip (better than the Weebill s one imo), the underslung mode is really a pain to manage, you're right. So easiest with the Zhiyun and those transmount quick release things. Overall, too nice tools to work with.

Agreed the underslung mode of the RSC 2 is not nearly as easy as the weebill s and thankfully they have been adding lots of features to the weebill s through firmware updates recently!

especially with the new stabilization built in the newer cameras gimbals are not as necessary as they used to be. I really only use mine on client shoots, which I do a lot of but I rarely use them for KZfaq anymore

You’re welcome

LOL sorry it took me so long to get this out there!! This is the clip I use on the weebill S with the peak design plate: geni.us/BBbJDWV cheers and thanks!!

This one here: geni.us/BBbJDWV

Thanks!

I haven't used it so I don't know

@@JakeSloan Thanks for the note! :)

Thank you!

Don't lock the gimbal motors with it on. put it in sleep mode or turn it off to use it that way

This is down near portage glacier road. There are some great trails around though. Check out the coastal trail and I would highly recommend going to thunderbird falls as well

@@JakeSloan Thank you so much!! I'll definitely write this on my lift to go. Around what season do you normally go and see the glacier area? I would like to see it

I would look at the RSC 2 I think but rumor has it Zhiyun is releasing a new version of the Weebill soon so wait just a bit

@@JakeSloan Thank you for your valuable suggestion. Since I live in a remote place it will take some time until the new product launches. 🥲 So, do u think I might regret if I pull the trigger on RSC2 ?

wait just a few more days if you can, but you will also be happy with the RSC2 and it will work with your setup!

@@JakeSloan Thank a lot, once again bud!! Will wait then 😊

yep its a weak point

I use Velcro lol cause i dont wanna damage the locks lol

fantastic

what lens do you use with your xt3 for video? And how are the controls on the gimbal for xt3? Can you do things like focus pulls etc?

I would love to do that I need to find an RS2 to borrow and work with lol...

I would look at the new Weebill 2 or the RSC 2. either one of them are great. I will have a video comparing them both soon

@@JakeSloan should i go for weebill 2 or rsc2

Interesting I use this one here: geni.us/BBbJDWV I've noticed the weebill S plate is harder to make and keep things tight on it.

@@JakeSloan thanks! Merry Christmas!

They are pretty much the same. The RSC 2 has just a little bit more space but it's not much

Thank you kindly!

I don't use gimbals for KZfaq much anymore since cameras have had such good stabilization put in them, however I do use them every day for client work. you aren't a failure! just different needs lol Cheers

@@JakeSloan I thought I was going to become the next great real estate videographer for side hustle and I never got into it.

yes it does! especially if you have 3d printed focus rings for it, if you don't the focus Motors come with a focus ring that you can attach to the lens

@@JakeSloan Really appreciate the reply. I’m new to all this and I find your videos very helpful and entertaining. Thanks!

You probably need a crane 2s or RS2. The RSC2 might also work for you

Any time I make a lens change etc I use auto tune to get the best performance

@@JakeSloan ya I need to to do that I forgot

It's this one here: geni.us/KSzlAa (affiliate link)

No

Me too on size. Old school glide cams are an art form lol

@@JakeSloan I agree!

yes it is

The weebill s has had lots of updates

@@JakeSloan hmm ok

@@JakeSloan i think the reason im leaning towards the rsc 2 is the active tracking seems to be better from the reviews ive seen..

@@CultureDrift you will get active tracking only if you buy the raven eye...

@@adiboyxbox it does work just with your phone from what i understand

Take a look at the weebill 2

@@JakeSloan Do you like the new screen? How about the focus button? Some say its placement is awkward ... Call me crazy but now I'm thinking of just go for the DJI RS 2 pro. It's cheaper than updating my Sony 6600 ( I want the Sony 7 SIII when I can justify the expense) and has great tracking, according to the reviews. Do you have an amazon link for the gimbal? I enjoy your content. Thx

@@HerSoulVacation same

You will need the raven eye unit as well to track

Yes but it didn’t have the ability to auto calibrate those points.

it adds a bit but not used as much as one might think really

@@JakeSloan thanks jake. Might not bother for now and upgrade later! Ronin or weebil is the next question haha

currently I would recommend the RSC 2

I haven't tried it personally hopefully someone will chime in that has

@@JakeSloan I'm buying a USB-C cable with an L shaped. I think this'll be my best solution!

youre welcome

no unfortunately

@@JakeSloan . Ok, thanks 🙏

I would recommend the RSC2 for sure

@@JakeSloan thank you very much

@@JakeSloan my dji is on the way huaha

great choice. I think you probably could without too much issue

might be a bit

get the DJI RSC 2

Sold! Thank you!

Mine are posted at -6 sooooo

@@JakeSloan It should be ok, but maybe you should listed to it on you tube, maybe they're messing with you ? :-) Good luck, and keepup the good posts !!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol

lol but you are here! so that counts

@@JakeSloan lol I am 2th dude

@@SachchaiBhajan twoth

Yeah it’s a big issue these days.

yes it does

Agreed!

Agreed but after a solid year of abuse I am not surprised

True however in my experience based on use neither of these gimbals will last much longer than 3-4 years

@@JakeSloan maybe this is how it would be for you. But me i still have the short i had when i was 15, and i have 52.. ah ah

Agreed

I think you’re right

Wow , really ? , You mean the permanently attached batteries and hinge on the rsc2 will last longer than the removable batteries and fixed handle mount point on the weebill s ?
