ZHIYUN Weebill 3E 3‑axis gimbal stabiliser for DSLR 📷
Description:
This compact 3-axis gimbal stabiliser delivers steadier footage for DSLR and mirrorless cameras while keeping weight to a minimum, making longer shoots more manageable. It is useful for run-and-gun videography and handheld workflows, with quick conversion to vertical framing for social content creation. 🎥
Key Points
The handle is redesigned for a more comfortable grip and reduced fatigue during extended handheld use. Support for a native vertical shooting mode lets you switch to portrait orientation without adding accessories or removing parts, which speeds up workflow when creating content for phones and social platforms. ⚙️
Bluetooth shutter control is built in so the gimbal can trigger recording or capture photos wirelessly after initial pairing. Note that the package includes only the Panasonic control cable LN-UCUC-A02. Cameras from Canon, Sony and other brands may need additional control cables to enable camera control, so check compatibility before relying on wired commands, according to the manufacturer.
A two-battery system uses standard 18650 lithium batteries and, according to the manufacturer, offers long runtime suitable for full-day shooting. Fast PD charging is supported to reduce downtime between sessions.
Benefits
Using the gimbal reduces visible camera shake and provides more natural motion during pans and tracking shots. The larger spatial arm and robust motor performance allow accommodation of different camera sizes while keeping movements smooth. The compact A4-size footprint and the lightweight build make it easier to carry on location and to operate for extended periods. The sling expansion mode can reduce physical effort during long takes, and the modular approach allows combination with extra grips and wrist rests for two-handed operation.

Usage Recommendations
For best results balance your camera and lens on the quick-release plate before powering on and use the native vertical mount when producing portrait-orientated clips. Consider adding a wrist rest or auxiliary grip if you expect long handheld sessions to further reduce fatigue. Be mindful that some camera functions require brand-specific control cables which are not all included in the box, so wireless Bluetooth control may be preferable when possible.
