We often need support tools to help us shoot when going out. If a tripod is an indispensable shooting accessory for photographers, it is stable. The device is a mobile tripod. span> p>
In order for me newbies to make better videos, I recently bought Zhiyun Weebill S and Yunhe M2 two stabilizers, the former is a camera stabilizer updated by Zhiyun on the basis of Weebill Lab, focusing on professional production positioning; the latter is positioning personal travel needs, although it can not support SLR, but it also Can hold black cards and mobile phones. span> p>
p>
However, this experience is mainly based on Weebill S. After all, the Yunhe M2 experience report has already been online. timeI have already said what I should say. span> p>
So in this review, I will evaluate Weebill S from the perspective of ordinary users, and then briefly talk about Yunhe M2. The impact of more personal products on my daily shooting. span> p>
01 丨 The size is only A4 size, and the three locks are the highlights span> h3>
In terms of appearance alone, the general design of Weebill S is not too different from the previous Weebill Lab, even the two The size and weight are almost the same on the body. span> p>
But if you take a closer look, you can actually see some differences between Weebill S and its predecessors, such as being able to open with light force The wrench-type buckle replaces the traditional knob switch, which is more convenient for disassembly; the shaft arm of the machine is extended to support the camera with large volume and long lens. span> p>
p>
The two points mentioned above, I will elaborate in the experience section below. span> p>
Zhiyun has designed three lock switches in the three axes of Weebill S. The role of these three buckles is not actually auxiliary Shooting, but convenient to carry and store, even if you don’t put it in your bag and hold it in your hand, there will be no embarrassment. span> p>
p>
But one thing to say is that Zhiyun has not configured a dedicated storage bag for Weebill S, so it is recommended to put it in the bag regardless of It is still recommended to hold it lightly. span> p>
The use of snap locks can provide a quick trim setting when we trim the camera, and will not cause adjustments due to platform shake Difficult situation. span> p>
p>
In addition, Weebill S continues to use the double-layer quick release version design, plus this updated wrench switch, after familiarizing with the installation , The entire camera installation and trimming process takes only about 3 minutes, and the first time novices can complete the installation in about 10 minutes. span> p>
Like Weebill Lab, Weebill S is only the size of a sheet of A4 paper, so it can be placed flat on the bag in storage mode. in. In terms of weight, the net weight of the bare metal is close to 900 grams. span> p>
p>
However, this time the new platform can maintain a smaller design because the Weebill S has increased the shaft arm in a limited volume. It supports a larger body and lens. span> p>
For example, the Sony A7R3 + 24-70GM lens I used this time reached 1.45 kg. With the addition of the UWP-D11 receiver, Weebill S can still bear a total weight of 1.5 kg. span> p>
p>
I also tested the Sony A7M3 + 24-105 G and Panasonic GH5, and several combinations can be perfectly adapted. span> p>
So what can be basically concluded is that Weebill S can bear the weight of most mainstream full-frame micro singles at present, if it is Sigma fp This type of small body can even have richer accessories and lens matching. But with a full-frame SLR, the options may be slightly limited. span> p>

div>
Zhiyun included a tripod in the box of Weebill S. This tripod can be fastened to the bottom and buckled. The opening in the tail of the swivel arm turns the stabilizer into a pot-lifting mode, making it easy to control the camera when shooting at low altitudes. span> p>
It is worth mentioning here that there is a switch lock on the top of the tripod. The tripod needs to be unlocked before it can be removed. Do not think that a miracle can be done vigorously, first check whether the switch is locked. span> p>
p>
Another detail that can be elaborated is that Zhiyun is equipped with a USB-C and a Micro-USB interface in the shaft. You can connect the camera through these two interfaces, but these two The interface (including a USB-C in the handle) cannot charge the handle, and the battery needs to be removed and put into a dedicated charger. span> p>
(Picture) p>
In addition to connecting cables, we can also control the stabilizer and camera through the phone’s “ZY Play”. But if you want to rack the handle on the stabilizer, you also need to buy a special clip. The price of this clip is about 200 yuan, which is not cheap, just start as needed. span> p>
02 丨 manipulation experience and shooting experience span> h3>
After mounting the camera to the stabilizer, I started trying to use it as my “multifunctional tripod” and had to do it again Praising the wrench near the stand saved me the trouble of finding coins at a business hotel. span> p>
p>
In terms of function, Weebill S continues to provide several signature functions of Zhiyun, which is unchanged from the previous generation Weebill Lab . Normal follow mode, lock, crazy dog mode, POV first-person view mode and 3D dream mode can be quickly switched in the handle, and the trigger key logic behind the handle is the same as before: span> p>
- Click: Switch the follow / lock mode (the gimbal follows the movement / locks one direction) span> li>
- Double-click: restore the default position (set the gimbal back to normal) span> li>
- Three strokes: 180-degree rotation (for easy selfies) span> li>
- Long press: Follow mode span> li>
ul>
p>
If you are not used to these shortcuts, we can also find follow, lock andPOV function (click: POV first-person mode / double-click: dream mode) switch, these buttons on the handle are physical buttons, so it is easy to switch functions. span> p>
p>
Follow mode is a feature I use a lot, because it is easy to operate when shooting products or Vlogs, with one hand Can control the PTZ to move up, down, left and right. span> Second is the lock mode. When you need to take an explanation video, fixing a position can save a lot of time for the younger brother. span> p>
The rest such as POV and dream mode, these two are actually Zhiyun’s famous features, especially POV. Although I have only used POV less than 10 times after getting Weebill S, this feature does have its unique features. For example, when you want to take a cool “flying” perspective, the POV can be tilted around 45 degrees. Instead of level stabilization in the traditional mode. span> p>
p>
When it comes to the shooting experience, I have to say the comfort of the handle. Since the Weebill S itself is not particularly heavy, I can shoot with one hand by adding the A7R3 and 24-70GM lenses. span> p>
p>
Of course, holding for a long time will definitely bring pressure on the wrist, especially the position of the thumb and forefinger, so use your feet It is necessary to hold the extension handle with both hands. span> p>
The only problem is that when shooting with the handle, my palm often touches the screen slider by mistake. If it is in manual mode, the gimbal will miss the touch due to my mistake. And twisted elsewhere. Span> p>
p>
The experience session concludes with Weebill S accessories. Although the accessories in the box are very abundant, they are actually the brackets and power supplies surrounding the stabilizer body, not peripheral accessories with enhanced functions. span> p>
Actually, in addition to the mobile phone holder mentioned earlier, Zhiyun also has scale armor, focus focus, and image reflector. These external devices, pieced together, are the complete body of Weebill S. span> p>
p>
03 丨 In addition to Weebill S, you have this option span> h3>
In general, Weebill S is a convenience adjustment based on the original features of Weebill Lab, such as the wrench type The gimbal switch, positioning lock, etc. make the stabilizer easy to use while being portable. span> p>
p>
More importantly, the upgrade has increased the shaft arm, which allows this A4 paper-sized bracket to support the full-frame body. And longer lenses, solve the problem of excessive support and imbalance that Weebill Lab had, and improve the practicality of the stabilizer on another level. If you want to equip a full-frame micro-single with a stabilizer, but also small and light, Weebill S should be the most suitable one at present. span> p>
p>
However, although Weebill S is easy to use and easy to use, its basic package only contains a set of accessories, such as the image transmission system for mobile phone linkage, mobile phone holders, etc., which require users to purchase separately, and their prices are not It is cheap, so I personally recommend that users who are just getting started can use the stabilizer to practice their hands first, familiarize with the use, and then add as needed.
But if it is a black card, GoPro, or other small micro-single, using Weebill S may be overkill. span> relatively more compact span> Yunhe M2 will span> Suitable. In addition to work, it can also meet the needs of daily travel photography and most Vlog producers. span> p>
p>
The Yunhe M2 also inherits the characteristics of the Yunhe M series, exceptIn addition to having a very compact size, it also supports the use of micro-single cameras, mobile phones and sports cameras such as Go Pro, which can be said to be compatible with all three-axis stabilizer products below this price. In daily life, we often use smartphones and micro single cameras to match Yunhe M2 for video shooting. span> p>
p>
The Yunhe M2 uses a lightweight design. The compact size can be carried with you or in your bag. I feel particularly bloated. It also supports the storage design. Before use, the lock switch on the Yunhe M2’s heading axis needs to be turned on, and the pitch axis and roll axis also have mutual lock settings. span> p>
In addition, the Yunhe M2 uses a quick release design for the adjustment of the roll axis and pitch axis, without the need for additional The tool can adjust the tension of the screws for balance adjustment, which is very convenient. span> p>
p>
p>
As a three-axis design stabilizer, the leveling steps have not been omitted too much. However, after the initial leveling, the specific position of the balance adjustment can be recorded through the quick release plate, the scale of the tilt axis, and a new set screw on the roll axis, so that it can be restored in one step in future use. Balance adjustment of stabilizer. span> p>
p>
Faced with lightweight daily video shooting, the Yunhe M2 saves a lot of time for equipment adjustment and trimming. If you are at the conference site, you can quickly take out the stabilizer and equipment from the bag for assembly and use. span> p>
p>
In terms of motor torque, the Yunhe M2 has been raised to a load level of 720g, which naturally supports mobile phones and action cameras. The biggest challenge of this price stabilizer is the stability of the micro single camera. After the actual measurement, we found that the Yunhe M2 can basically meet the weight and size of the Sony A6000 series micro single body, coupled with a 16-50 standard lens. Therefore, some more compact micro singles and even card machines like Sony “black cards” can be used stably. span> p>
Occasionally, you can see Vlogger loading a combination of A6500 + Sigma 16mm f1.4 on Yunhe M2. p>
< / p>
Seeing the motor data of Yunhe M2, maybe you may think that its torque is only a 50g increase. But in fact, the Yunhe M2’s optional camera and lens match is much more, this is mainly due to some improvements in its three axes, it is more obvious that the length of the pitch axis has been lengthened, the mainstream The size of the micro single body can effectively avoid collision with the roll axis when pitching and flipping. span> p>
p>
The one that needs to be slotted here is the 1/4 screw of the quick release plate, which is still quite large. When connecting a longer lens, This screw will have a chance to hit the roll axis. For this, we can use thinner 1/4 standard screws toAs an alternative. span> p>
p>
Yunhe M2 provides 5 balance modes to choose from, including PV heading follow, L lock mode, global POV follow, F full follow mode, GO crazy dog mode and V 3D dream mode, span> You can also enter the selfie mode with three clicks of the trigger button. span> p>
The traditional follow mode is still easy to use, and its GO crazy dog mode can lock the roll axis motor in a short time, allowing another The dual axis moves quickly with the handle, which can be easily realized by this mode when the character or object is rapidly changing. span> p>
As for the V 3D dream mode, the pitch axis will be up 90 degrees vertically, and the camera can be moved along with the handle when held horizontally. Rotate the handle to shoot the same effect as a dream stealing space. span> p>
p>
Overall, compared to similar products at the same price, Yunhe M2 has the largest scalability and the smallest The size of the body, with such a stabilizer when going out, can already meet the stable shooting needs of micro-single camera or smart phone. Thanks to its light weight, even recording Vlogs with handheld selfies won’t feel too tired. span> p>
