![]() ![]() I love that I can swap between the different modes and use the joystick with one hand, all while fully being able to manipulate the control wheel (whether that be for focus or zoom or however you like to use it). I've also never found the use of the joystick on a gimbal to be even remotely satisfying, as no matter what I do the movements always feel a bit faster or slower than I meant for them to. When I looked at pictures, it kind of looked like you're either going to be able to manipulate the control wheel or the joystick. If I can't have both hands on this thing fully supporting it while operating various controls, things might get more difficult for me. Fact is, I'm getting older, and form-factor all of a sudden really matters. I also pulled my shoulder out recently using a different gimbal (I won't name names). ![]() The other thing about the Weebill 2 was the placement of the joystick, and more importantly, the control wheel they have. Imagine being able to go to a gas station and get the battery you need to power your camera rig in a pinch. Very similar to a V-Mount or Gold-mount D-tap battery situation, but it's just a much more accessible and easily accessed version. Imagine if you could just power your camera, monitor, gimbal, and whatever else (transmitter, follow focus, etc.) with a power bank that you'd use to charge your cell phone. I kind of like the thought of gear companies deciding to democratize the gear battery situation and make it all stretched across USB power banks. I use them for my video transmitters, and also to charge my phone (especially when I'm on the road). ![]() I don't know about you, but I always have about five of those in my camera bag. The gimbal can be powered off of external power-bank style batteries-you know, the ones you use to charge your cell phone. Obviously, the more load you put on the motors, the faster the battery may run out, but with an X-T4 and a Sigma 18-35, I still haven't run into a powerless situation. I've used it now on multiple shoots, and I've never run out of battery. The built-in battery on this gimbal lasts for about nine hours and takes about 1/9th of that time to charge. ![]()
